Can Nate Bargatze make it make cents? More than a week later, the host of the 2025 Emmys<\/a> is still trying to break down the thought process behind taking money away from the Boys & Girls Club of America<\/a> if a celebrity took longer than 45 seconds to accept their award. \u201cI wasn\u2019t trying to overshadow any of their speeches,\u201d Bargatze said during the September 24 episode of his Nateland<\/a> podcast. According to the comedian, he\u2019d assumed that the studios behind winning shows, like Netflix and Apple, would pay the difference for the CBS-approved bit. \u201cIn my head, I pictured it as [actors] could then go long but then be a hero. So it was like a win-win,\u201d he explained. \u201cThen the night becomes about love and giving to these kids that are there and all this kind of stuff. And I don\u2019t know if I just didn\u2019t explain it enough in the room.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bargatze said he had never expected individual winners, like adolescent Adolescence star Owen Cooper<\/a> (\u201cI covered for that kid,\u201d Bargatze clarified), to open their own wallets. But Bargatze also hadn\u2019t anticipated that his hosting duties would lead him to announce at the end of the night that he would be making a $250,000 donation himself. \u201cI wasn\u2019t gonna give that money at the end,\u201d he admitted. \u201cI wasn\u2019t thinking I was gonna have to. But the way it went, I was like, \u2018Well, I can\u2019t \u2026 I\u2019m not gonna not.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
