Viewers can stream Nate Bargatze’s newest stand-up special, “Good for Nathan,” starting Nov. 24. This marks his fourth hour for Netflix and follows the comedian’s recent break of the Guinness World Record for most tickets sold on a stand-up tour.

Bargatze filmed the special in Fort Worth, Texas, with director Ryan Polito. The material includes jokes about fitness tractors, smart stoves, and food delivery. He performed the same set earlier this year at the Netflix Is a Joke Festival in Los Angeles in May.

The new release comes shortly after Bargatze surpassed Jeff Dunham’s previous record for tour attendance. His Big Dumb Eyes Tour sold 2,045,040 tickets in approximately 18 months, establishing him as the highest-earning comedian in the world.

Bargatze has expanded his work beyond stand-up in recent years. He hosted the 2025 Emmy Awards on CBS and currently hosts the ABC game show “The Greatest Average American.” He also appeared in the theatrical comedy “The Breadwinner” earlier this year alongside Mandy Moore, Colin Jost, Will Forte, and Kumail Nanjiani.

His career trajectory includes a spot on Variety’s 10 Comics to Watch list in 2015. Previous specials include “Full Time Magic” for Comedy Central, “Hello World” for Amazon Prime Video, and three prior Netflix releases. Alex Murray, Tim Sarkes, and John Irwin executive produce the new special under the Nateland Entertainment banner.
