Nate apologizing when his dish is revealed is hilarious

Kenan throwing the food off the table in disgust was too hilarious.😆

The very casual but sincere way he kept saying "I'm sorry" made me laugh harder every single time.

Whoever came up “impossible catfish” is a genius 😂😂😂

I had no idea who Nate Bargatze was, but if he can inspire a series of well written, deftly directed and hilariously acted sketches, I am so grateful.

Deconstructed blacked eyed peas had me dying 😂😂😂 kenan is hilarious best sketch of the night for me.

The way Mikey Day said the collards cracked me up! Just his delivery alone with a complete lacking of soul on a typical soul food was ridiculously funny.

“ I didn’t mean to.” Classic line.

Kenan pushing that plate like a disappointed cat is hilarious.

"I don't know, I live in France." Every line in this sketch has me rolling.

Nate : My parents are white, i'm sorry. Kenan : well you should be. 🤣

So glad Nate is getting more and more recognition, I’ve been a fan for years and he’s absolutely incredible

“Wow, NO thank you” 😂😂😂 Nate’s delivery is what makes him an incredible stand up comic haha

This is why comedians should host SNL. This was the best episode in a long time

"And you'll be an honored guest at this years' Essence Fest" "Wow... NO thank you"

I love how the plate is thrown, like a cat pushing things off a table 😂 Love how Padma Lakshmi announces the prizes, and love, love Nate 😂

Really cool to see Padma in this sketch. Also, hilarious every time Nate said "I'm sorry" 😂

How the winner immediately begins apologizing and continually does so is what makes this skit as gold as it is

“I made the collarrreds” 🤣

Nate has the perfect personality for this skit. 'I'm sorry.' 🤣🤣🤣

Kenan's inability to break character is a true marvel. That dead stare after pushing the plate was pure magic.

“im honored but please take this off me” 😂😂😂

This is so great! The "I'm sorry " for everything is perfect. 😂

When Keenan knocked over the plate and Heidi struggled to stay in character 😂😂😂 that’s one of the funniest moments I’ve seen in a sketch in a long time

I love a sketch that breaks stereotypes, and this one did it hilariously. Also, Kenan kills it in EVERY performance. 🤣

I lost it when Mikey Day awkwardly walked out 😆

I truly hope that Kenan stays until the bitter end. The guy is truly the GOAT. His delivery of lines is so incredibly sharp and cutting. There's a build up with many of his characters and then he just slays it within 15 seconds. The plate off the edge is a one of the many brilliant Kenan moves.

As a Chef from NYC , this had me in tears 😂😂😂

"Plate two frankly pissed me off!" Hilarious! Excellent sketch!

Nate Bargatze was freaking brilliant. Was great that the writers had such a fabulous host to work with and stepped up with the material this week. Props to whole cast for great show!

I love the I'm Sorry. That is the best part of this The cat toss of the plate was a close second

The apologizing shouldn’t have been as funny as it was XD just flawless delivery. Love everything about this skit.

I lost it at Nate's face when they started listing the prizes 😂

I absolutely LOST IT when he said he made the deconstructed black eyed peas!!!! 😂😂😂😂

The delivery of "Rhode Island" and the plate in floor were each sublime.

Bargatze and Kenan should have their own show. This and the Washington sketch will be classics.

This had the Tom Hanks Jeopardy special vibes! I was locked in and cackling the entire time.

Ordinarily, breaking Heidi is not easy. Strange how a simple plate flip did it.

"I don't know, I live in France!" 🤣

I know that Lorne is not a big fan of improv, but there's no way Kenan knocking the plates off the table was at all part of the sketch. Heidi's reaction was too genuine.

Heidi trying not to break character after Keenan throws the plate. Priceless. Everyone in this sketch was awesome!

Great job writers and actors. Literal laugh-out-loud laughs is what I needed.

Kenan’s “hoppin johhhn”, fake chewin and spitting, and flipping the the plate off the table was😂😂😂

Nate Bargatze has become my fave comedian today 😂

I love how Dougie kept apologizing. 🤣

This has been the best SNL in a long time. You go Nate

Nate's deeply disappointed face at the announcement of his win is a detail I had not noticed before, but it is so good.

I watch Nate every chance I get and love his fresh take on life through CLEAN comedy. He's a comedic genius.

Loved this skit and Keenan pushing the plate off the table 🤣. This episode had no misses.

I'm guessing the plate-flip wasn't in rehearsal? 🤣

Everyone in this skit was amazing. SNL take notes, comedians make great sketches, and Kenan being hilarious instead of "the straight man" in almost every sketch is comedy gold.

Keenan pushing the plate onto the floor was hilarious!😂😂😂

I was chuckling the whole sketch BUT… I lost it when she said “Impossible Catfish”. I would’ve thrown the plate off the table too. Especially after it was sous vide😂🤣

Nate Bargatze is comedic genius! This was my favorite skit from the show but honestly, I loved the whole show!! Let’s get Nate in the 5 host jacket!

Keenan gets better every year. Flipping that plate- the timing , the unexpected, the reference.

Come back to this video every couple weeks. Today it helped me recover from a panic attack. Thank you, Nate!

Written by Mikey Day, Streeter Seidell, Celeste Yim and Allison Gates! Great job, guys! Mikey and Streeter in particular were on fire with the writing this episode having also co-written Washington's Dream.

"Plate 2 uhh… plate 2 frankly piss me off" 💀😭😭😭😭

Finally a good sketch and was preformed admirably!! I would have broke out laughing.Keenan throwing the food off the table. Funny as hell

I have watched this skit like 27 different times and I haven't stopped laughing yet this is the best chef Showdown skit SNL has ever produced. "This IS the culture"

I SCREAMED at the way Mikey said collard greens😭😭😭😭

Deconstructed Black-eyed peas so... minus Fergie?

This is why I always prefer comics as hosts. Let them lean in to their style and you get high end sketches. Nate made a lot of new fans…best show of the year easily so far.

Nate killed it in this sketch just by being himself!🤣 This is easily one of the best sketches since the Vid hit.

Dougie cooked this food? "Yes I'm sorry" 😅💀 You see it coming a mile away, but that punchline was so good 😅

"I just did my best. Again, sorry. I'm sorry" . Love Nate so much.

Padma was perfect! Lol just piling on the prizes he was not going to take lol

3:31 IM CRYING 😭

Kenan's totally sincere "You need to kill yourself," is one of my new favourite lines.

Punkie's character with her head on the table and Kenan's character rubbing her back in sympathy was hilarious!

Brutally funny. Nate should come back.

Kenan is a pro! He can make anyone crack a smile while in character.

Kenan always elevating the sketch with pure comic genius 😅😆

Please, never let Kenan quit or get fired 😂

This is so underrated lol. When kenan knocked the plate on the floor😂

What makes this funnier for me is that I am Mexican American and have a friend who is a chef and white and he made tamales one year and they were the absolute best I've ever had. No one in my family could believe it was his first time or that he has no Latin in his family. 😂😂😂

I needed this. Poor Douggie put his soul into the soul food.

This by far is one of the best SNL skits I've seen in a looooong time. Kenan throwing the food on the ground, I replayed just that part 10 times.

It has been a while for us to see a genuine hilarious SNL sketch like this. Kudos to the writers.

Keenan pushing the plate was unexpected, nearly killed everyone 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The Howard University letterman jacket took me out! He was so uncomfortable with the winning prizes. 😂😂😂

Nate Bargatze was so solid in every skit last night. "Washington" was great writing.

I had to watch it twice cz I couldn't focus the first time 😂😂 it just got better and better! 😂😂

Nate Bargatze is adorable.

Nate is one of my fav comedians. This sketch was great 😂😂😂

I had my headphones on and my wife couldn't figure out why i was laughing so hard. Kenan never fails :)

When Kenan started spitting got me! XD

I lost it when he pushed the plate😂😂😂😂

The constant “I’m sorry” and Kenan telling the sous chef to k*ll himself - 😂😂

I’m crying🤣…This happened to me irl! I’m a white woman and I used to work in an office with eight black women and me. I overheard a few of my coworkers talking about their cornbread recipes and friendly-bragging about how much their families loved their cornbread. At the next potluck with the board members I brought my cornbread, which is a recipe handed down from my Appalachian grandfather that I’ve added finely diced red chilis and jalapeños to. Everyone went absolutely nuts over my cornbread, but were kinda shocked when they found out I had made it… I got a few weird looks and a couple of the board members just kept going on and on about it. I was embarrassed but glad they liked it! When I told them that my grandmother who taught me how to cook was from New Orleans it made more sense to them… so next time I brought my gumbo… That went over just as well!

I love how they apologise. Very good sketch

I never thought gentrifying soul food could be so funny Lmao

"I live in France!" ☠️

"You'll be a guest at the Essence awards." "No thank you." 😂😂😂

Kenan knocking the plate off almost broke Heidi. 😂😂😂

This sketch was genuinely hilarious! 😂

Even though I saw it coming from a mile away, I still laughed when they revealed that "Dougie" was the winner, lol!

"You need to k*ll yourself" i cackled so loud😂😂i love keenan!

Haven't laughed soo hard at an SNL sketch in a while... 😂😂😂 This was funny!!

Kenan keeping the absolutely straight face when he flipped the plate was gut-busting.
