Nate Bargatze opens ‘SNL’ with monologue about DoorDash Encounters

Like all of us, Nate Bargatze has had his share of awkward, almost shame-inducing DoorDash encounters.

During the comedian Saturday evening live opening monologue for Season 50 – his second time hosting – Bargatze explained having two drivers deliver separate orders at the same time and how he once had to hunt for a misplaced delivery.

“DoorDash is what will kill me,” he began. “I’m looking at it like it’s Tinder, just scrolling through it, seeing who’s open… I’m just laying there, like you gotta bring me a Blizzard right now. I want it right now, put it quietly on my porch, don’t let anyone in this house know I’m doing this, it cost 3,000 for this Blizzard. Okay, I’ll pay for it.’

The Hello world The comic then said that he often does “double dashes,” meaning he’s “spreading the guy, like what else is open around you?” Do they have nerds at that gas station?’ However, on one occasion, his orders at McDonald’s and Dairy Queen were assigned to two different drivers who arrived at the same time.

‘Now I’m looking at the GPS and I think they’ll come at the same time. It’s my worst nightmare. I need one to get into a wreck, that can happen. I see them both, making the turn at the same time. I’m shocked. McDonald’s comes in, shuts it down, Dairy Queen has to let him out again. He was just in the cul-de-sac, like I was building at my house at 11 o’clock at night, just, ‘Go ahead!’

But Bargatze learned his lesson from the experience and chose to purposefully order the two meals from two separate drivers next time, to control their arrivals. When his Sonic order was placed at a “door I don’t know,” he chose to “hunt it.”

“I walked through all the gardens in my neighborhood,” he said. “I was like a raccoon ringing every Ring doorbell in the neighborhood.”

Bargatze, a Grammy-nominated stand-up comedian, will soon appear around the holidays in a CBS variety special co-written by SNLIt’s Mikey Day.
