College GameDay reveals Alabama’s Week 10 guest picker

Week 10 College GameDay guest picker for Alabama vs. LSU is shocking

For the second time this season, ESPN and the College GameDay crew will be traveling to Tuscaloosa to watch Nick Saban and his Alabama Crimson Tide. The crew first visited in Week 2 when the Tide unfortunately lost to their future SEC foe the Texas Longhorns. This week, GameDay will be back as No. 8 Alabama hosts No. 14 LSU with a spot in the SEC Championship game on the line, likely against Georgia.

For the matchup against Texas GameDay brought on former Alabama quarterback and New York Jets legend Joe Namath. This week, the guest picker will be comedian Nate Bargatze who has appeared on both Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Fallon’s shows and hosted “Saturday Night Live” recently as well.

While he is talented and has a very funny personality, fans are a bit curious as to why he is the guest picker. He attended neither Alabama nor LSU for college and was born in Tennessee, so he has no strong emotional ties either way.

The game against LSU will kick off at 6:45 p.m CT., so if you plan on going to GameDay make sure you figure out a way to take a nap or pace yourself before the start of the game! The Tide needs Bryant-Denny to be rocking under the lights in a massive revenge game.

Comedian Nate Bargatze’s new comedy special ‘Hello World’ is a nod to Tiger Woods

Why comedian Nate Bargatze’s new comedy special ‘Hello World’ is a nod to Tiger Woods.

The day before he made his professional debut at the 1996 Greater Milwaukee Open, Tiger Woods faced the media with a big smile.

“I guess hello world, huh,” said a 20-year-old Woods, who has since gone on to win 15 major championships as well as a record-tying 82 times on the PGA Tour to cement his legacy as one of the best to ever swing a club.

An avid golf fan, comedian Nate Bargatze used that famous introduction as the inspiration to his new comedy special, ‘Hello World.’

“I wanted a nice greeting,” Bargatze explained during his Tuesday appearance on the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. “It’s also a nod to Tiger Woods.”

If you’re a stand-up comedy fan, Bargatze’s new special releases Jan. 31 on Prime Video or you can check him out on tour here.
