Nate Bargatze, who has hosted Saturday Night Live twice, had largely escaped the limelight at the dizzying spectacle at the White House on Sunday until Cheryl Hines, the wife of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., uploaded a snap of the trio together on Instagram, with Vice President JD Vance in the background.

Bargatze, though, posted nothing to his 3.1 million Instagram followers. It was crickets over on X, too, with no mention of his weekend foray into the heart of MAGA.

I thought it was gonna be Shane Gillis that was gonna get shown as MAGA, while I liked when Bargatze hosted SNL I haven't heard much of any thing of his since. A podcast I listen to said they attended a show of his and the youngest people there were in their 50s so it's certainly lining up.

Shane Gillis was really obvious to me. For some reason, Bargatze was a surprise.

Is Gillis confirmed MAGA? i haven't seen so yet and have heard clips of him rebuking Texas and Trump in the recent past.

He definitely was in his special on netflix. It's hard to get that stink off, even if he's changed his mind.

Thinking Trump is funny isn't the same as being MAGA. I'm not saying he framed that "correctly" according to my own judgment, but there is a distinction here.

Edit: Sorry, I thought you were taking about Bergatze. Did you watch the Gillis special? He was all in on right wing politics.

If you were a celebrity, would you have gone to his White Trash House event?
