The Future of TV

Sep 17, 2025

I love the sketches that SNL has done with Nate Bargatze playing 'George Washington' looking into the future and a world he dreams of.  (The pieces are primarily written by Streeter Seidell and Mikey Day.)  Bargatze did another of those kind of sketches for his recent TV special, though it was a Nativity scene -- written by the same people from SNL, along with SNL cast members performing.


On this past Sunday, Bargatze hosted the Emmy Awards.  And rather than an opening monologue, he -- along with the folks from SNL (who I'm sure wrote the piece) -- did another adaptation of the idea.  This time as Philo T. Farnsworth (yes, a real person) who invented television.  And here time with Mikey Day, James Austin Johnson and Bowen Yang.
