Nate Barghse's family-friendly comedy is so popular, he's become the nation's highest-grossing stand-up comic.

This is Jane Pauli.

Now, Bargetse is hosting the Emmys and in conversation with Sunday mornings Connor

Knighton.

You're playing these big arenas all around the country.

You're bringing out a crowd where I think a lot of that crowd, it might be the first stand-up

show they've ever seen live.

Do you remember the first stand-up show you ever saw live?

Yeah, I saw Jim Brewer at Zanies in Nashville. The way Zanis was set up then, you would have to come off the stage and kind of go through the crowd. And so I remember just watching it. And it was, I mean, it was just so funny. And then he came up to the crowd. I think he gave him a high five. And it was just like, I don't know, I loved the whole night. Like even him, the host that went up first, all of it, you were just like, you just saw it all. And you're like, I just felt like you just want to, you're like, I want to be up there. How old were you at that time? It was, I was graduated high school, so I mean I had to be 19 or something like that. Yeah, 18. Would have known him from Saturday Night Live, I assume. Yeah, yeah, he was on Saturday Live, I think, at the time. So yeah, you knew him back from then and all that. And so then you're watching that, like, was it a real thing of I'd like to do that profession? that professional, just like, oh fun. Like, was it a simultaneous click or were you there because already in your head you thought let me research this? Yeah, I mean, I think I already wanted to do it. I don't know if I was, I was like falling in love with it almost. And it was like the beginning stages where you were like, I just want to go. I don't know if I completely had the plan to do it.

I was just like, man, I'm really attracted to this kind of thing, and I love it. I just always think, like, you know, the MC, I'm like, oh, that guy's probably doing so good. You're like, I mean, that guy might have been paid $20 for that night. That's what you eventually find out. But at the time, you're like, I mean,

everyone on the show is just like kind of famous to you.
