This year’s Emmys host, comedian Nate Bargatze, introduced a bold incentive to keep acceptance speeches short: a promised $100,000 donation to the Boys & Girls Club. It’s a refreshing twist on the usual walk-off music, tying charitable giving to speech length.

In a lighthearted twist on tradition, Emmys host Nate Bargatze introduced a running counter during acceptance speeches, playfully cautioning winners not to linger. “Don’t go crazy though cause like, I am paying for this,” he quipped, bringing levity and time management together in one memorable moment.

Nate Bargatze, who sold over 1.2 million tickets to his “The Be Funny Tour” last year, is about to take on his biggest role yet: hosting the 77th Emmy Awards. He joins “CBS Mornings” from Los Angeles to share his excitement for the ceremony airing on CBS and Paramount Plus.
