The Greatest Average American

Filmed outdoors at Universal Studios Hollywood to comply with COVID-19 safety protocols, Nate Bargatze’s second Netflix special showcases his signature laid-back, deadpan style. The Tennessee native touches on the absurdity of pandemic life, the struggle of helping his daughter with Common Core math, getting older, and the nuances of being part of the “Oregon Trail generation.” The open-air setting provides unique moments, including Bargatze hilariously improvising around the helicopters frequently flying overhead.
