Nate Bargatze to host “Saturday Night Live”'s Halloween episode, with Foo Fighters as musical guest
Saturday Night Live has lined up a host for its Halloween show.
Comedian Nate Bargatze will make his SNL debut, hosting the Oct. 28 episode with musical guest Foo Fighters.
The 44-year-old Bargatze is a standup comedian and Grammy nominee, and he's currently performing nationwide on his Be Funny tour. Meanwhile, Foo Fighters and frontman Dave Grohl are longtime SNL vets, first performing on the show in December 1995. This will be their ninth appearance as musical guests (not counting a special guest appearance in 2012). Foo Fighters were originally scheduled to perform on the show in May, before the writers' strike cut the season short.
