Nate Bargatze To Host “The Greatest Average American”
Disney has announced details on a brand new game show called “The Greatest Average American”, which will be coming to ABC and Hulu in 2026.
“The Greatest Average American” is a hilarious new game show that celebrates the power of being perfectly average. Each round is packed with laugh-out-loud challenges and trivia as contestants try to guess how everyday Americans think and live. In the end, one lucky player will be crowned the Greatest Average American and get the chance to win the ultimate grand prize: the average American salary of $67,920.
The show will be hosted by Nate Bargatze, who is a bestselling author, podcaster, director and producer, who has previously hosted the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards on CBS and “Saturday Night Live”.
He is currently the No. 1-earning comedian in the world, according to Pollstar’s recent report, and No. 12 in overall live tour tickets sales, putting him in the company of Coldplay, Madonna and U2. Billboard recently announced that Bargatze set a new record for the biggest one-year gross by a comedy performer in history. He is currently on his 2025 Big Dumb Eyes World Tour and continuing to break venue attendance and ticket records. Most recently, Bargatze hosted the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards on CBS, which was the highest-rated Emmy’s show in the last four years.
A concept by executive producers Nate Bargatze and John Quinn, “The Greatest Average American” is produced by Walt Disney Television Alternative in association with Nateland and Da Da Production.
“The Greatest Average American” will premiere on Wednesday, 25th February 2026 at 9:02-10:02 p.m. EST on ABC and the next day on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+.
