Coach Alan - SNL

[@stripedpants1668]

It was good that they didn’t stretch this one out too much. It was a perfect length honestly.

[@danigoes208]

oh i completely agree

[@DonaldBrice0189]

What every man wants to hear

[@Who-man-be-ying]

Thats what she said

[@Jllyrol311]

Are we not doing ‘Phrasing’ anymore?

[@karaDee2363]

I'm so relieved that you approve

[@Chewy1682]

There’s just nothing else like a Nate Bargatze delivery

[@ll1ll1ll1ll1ll]

He honestly deserves an Emmy for how deadpan and serious he's able to act throughout all these sketches.

[@cachi-7878]

You’re right, it’s all in the delivery.

[@TealBishie]

He's great, after the last time he hosted I knew I was gonna wanna watch all of this one

[@Tonyhouse1168]

“Did you graduate community college? You think you’re better than me?” - classic NB

[@davidtsmith33]

True. He's good.

[@olivergarrick1175]

I love a short sketch it was super simple joke and it didnt need to any longer than it was.

[@canaisyoung3601]

Yeah. SNL doesn't have enough of those.

[@mmkay32]

U guys have incredibly low standards hahah

[@WadeHarris-v3f]

YES. Typical SNL progression: * Make sketch with joke that is (perhaps) funny for the first 90 seconds. Stretch it out to 4-5 minutes until it becomes annoying. * Do followup sketch in ensuing week. Same as above except much of audience still carrying some fatigue from original overextention. * This may repeat a few times or we go directly to next step. * Full length film. 90 minutes of something that couldn't adequately fill 5 minutes. * Sequel.

[@pamelakromer1712]

Nate’s voice going higher at “8 weeks and you still have paid me”. 😂 Great delivery!

[@kimberlycooper4170]

Nate Bargatze's humor and delivery are hilarious. I absolutely must watch him every time he comes on.

[@ViolenceMan]

"...and speaking of checks" 😂

[@alisterfolson]

I understood that reference

[@Grdiang3l]

No one laughed at how the first player yelled out that they were going to write a check to coach Daniels 😂

[@Darnellp87]

Homie's got Blue Mountain State on his mind lol

[@erikvonlichtenstein8328]

That is youth sports, 100%

[@chestercooperpotscha]

Nah, totally out of touch. 20$ for jerseys when it should be like $250😅

[@Laura-jj4co]

Total - Same thing for dance competitions

[@MelissaBlue]

Heck, pretty much any extracurricular!

[@gabazelli]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TabethaAurochs]

Nate spelling "Walsch" repeatedly after his monologue about his college "Speech" class O-I-L fail and the Washington's Dream Words sketch🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@gwnfan]

This is one of the most relatable skits ever.

[@coffee1207]

Love Nate, he's good in any sketch!

[@bofa83]

he. says his name is walsch, but the kid at 2:06 calls him daniels.

[@nicholasdiantonio1152]

Yeah who’s Coach Daniels!? 😂

[@jbuehler00]

not Marcello's jersey on backwards lol

[@CanItAlready]

OMG, I hadn't noticed. LOL

[@tylerphillips503]

Looks like it's on normal

[@Valeriamtzp]

Why do you think it's backwards? All of them have the number and lions in the front 🤔

[@CanItAlready]

@@Valeriamtzp Look at the neckline.

[@cleverusername9369]

It's not backwards, it just fits poorly.

[@QueenKunta]

0:58 Nate’s look off 1:07 and delivery of “the jerzees” cracks me up 😂

[@MitchMeetings]

Perfect short skit right up Nates alley, i can get behind it.

[@Dot_Con]

The Friday Night Lights-style song playing in the background LOL perfect touch

[@Coover90210]

The band (at least for FNL TV show trademark sound) was Explosions In The Sky

[@olivergarrick1175]

I knew nate bargatz wouldn't disappoint us this was a fun episode cant wait to see him host again All hit no miss.

[@MelissaBlue]

And every single teacher involved in extracurriculars cheer at that amazing ending!

[@PDXdevil]

0:14 What going on out there? Sir you have 8 players.

[@ericwilliams1659]

Football in smaller schools can be 6,8,9 person teams.

[@dantana5774]

the rest of the guys didn't make the trip- flat out refused to pay for the jersey, so didn't make the bus

[@Tonyhouse1168]

They got tired of coach asking them to chip in for gas

[@KCWhite-vl9ev]

The other players wrote their checks out to coach Alan

[@busterhyman6633]

Bidenomics has been tough on all of us. Only 8 players can afford an extra Twenty bucks.

[@ConservativeVeteran]

NATE BARGATZE IS THE BEST COMEDIAN TO COME ALONG IN YEARS!!!

[@ervinmiracle]

HS soccer coach here - that was TOO REAL.

[@stephaniemock383]

The Friday Night Lights music 😅

[@Nightsable]

FNL on SNL

[@jvega1473]

As a local HS coach, Coach Alan used his money to cover the jerseys xD. It's like that sometimes. Jersey rep wants 5 grand but only 3 kids brought their fee, I'm sure big schools don't have to worry about those things. Shit had me rolling cause its true !

[@mjvielle]

Speaking for parent support fundraising groups, this kind of enthusiasm hits. 😊

[@chrisputnam8795]

I’ve run programs for years. The struggle is real

[@CalebJacobs1981]

Man. Nate is so funny.

[@jonathanstiemann3078]

How nate can make something like that funny is really impressive! His delivery is special!

[@gariklaw]

Hahaha Coach Daniels in the Coach Alan skit! Loved the mouthed "SHIT" right after 🤣

[@ellengrace4609]

Yeah, where’d that come from? 😂

[@thekiss2083]

They were dangerously close to having a second joke in the sketch right there 😂 Thank goodness it was an accident

[@ajaboyd-qu5gi]

Wish Alan would’ve been like “GUYS! Who tf is Coach Daniel’s?! It’s Walsch, with a C!”

[@HippiePajon]

😂 yeah who is that😂

[@HippiePajon]

Loool

[@laurenw.8178]

“Hey coach, what’s your Venmo?” 😂

[@Lolott126]

Fastest I’ve seen anyone pay a school fee

[@jsonlee01]

It would have been perfect to do a Ted Lasso skit with Bergatze as Coach Beard. Hell maybe Jason Sudeikis could have made a surprise appearance.

[@benzaiten933]

on a side note; if you want to learn how to hush Mildred, then please reference the skit "Check"

[@jandrousmc08]

That was the most subtle yet the funniest breaking of character on SNL.

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

Gillis had some amazing sketches but I gotta say I think this week with Nate is the best I’ve seen since I was a kid.

[@lens_hunter]

This is the type of skit they usually stretch to six minutes and kill it. Im impressed.

[@carl0maldonado46]

I knew a coach kind of like this in highs school .. it was half time in a soccer game and he was getting mad that nobody paid for their jerseys yet.. and that one of the players wrote the check to coach Martinez 😂😂

Best episode in a while

[@davidmsirois]

I'm being very serious... I normally not super into Marcelo... but Marcelo screaming at the end about asking the parents about paying for the jerseys might be my favorite performance of his. I'm right! Look at Nate for proof! :)

Definitely Accurate.

[@phobos258]

That smile at the end.

[@Ace_Hunter_lives]

Never heard of him before SNL. Checked out some of his stand-up and thought it was pretty lame, but he is hands-down one of the funniest guests they get. He really elevates SNL every time he's on the show. I kind've think this kind of thing is really his comedic sweet spot.

[@kerihopper3719]

Love his standup! He is the only comedian I will pay money to see.

[@chrismmurphy3132]

Seeing Nate crack at the Venmo line was great lol

[@endgamefond]

😂 who wrote this!? So funny

[@micahsenior3567]

That is unironically my high school at the beginning 0:01 😅

[@Publiclighthouse]

Part of this situation actually happened in the show FNL. Coach Taylor was in-charge of the East Dillon Lions (They even kept the Lions mascot and the red color scheme in the sketch) and paid for the new uniforms out of his own pocket. The big difference is, he didn’t ask for the money back. And $20 for a uniform is dirt cheap.

[@TheKrustyKristy]

Coach Alan need's to be the new Head Coach. The things he said had me PUMPED UP.

[@kirinooto2666]

More sketches like this! Not all sketches need to be 5 minutes long 🎉

[@Factsmatter626]

Who’s playing football at 11:30 AM or PM?

[@garrett9303]

SNL definitely has a lot of younger men on cast recently

[@canaisyoung3601]

Their youngest male cast member this year is Emil Wakim (born March 11 of 1998). It was Marcello Hernandez last year (born August of 1997), but now he's second youngest. And Devon Walker is actually the oldest (born February 13, 1991). Longfellow is second oldest (January 31st, 1994). Andrew Dismukes is third oldest (I know he was born in 1995, but I don't know what month). So, yeah, we're getting a lot of 1990s born kids on this show (Bowen Yang and Sarah Sherman are 1990s born. No word on when Ashley Padilla and Jane Wickline were born, but I'm going to assume they're also 1990s babies), but we still have the 1980s born cast members, like Michael Che, Colin Jost, Mikey Day, Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim, Chloe Fineman, and James Austin Johnson. And the only 1970s-born cast member left is Kenan Thompson, the first SNL cast member to born after SNL premiered in 1975 (Thompson was born in 1978, when SNL was still doing great with the original cast).
