Emmys Host Nate Bargatze Thinks He’s Finally Figured Out a Way to Keep Acceptance Speeches Short

Nate Bargatze will personally donate $100,000 to Boys & Girls Clubs of America, adjusting the amount based on winners’ acceptance speech lengths at the 2025 Emmy Awards.

  • Comedian Nate Bargatze will host the 77th Annual Emmy Awards on September 14, 2025, broadcast on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
  • Bargatze intends to encourage shorter acceptance speeches by personally donating $100,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, reducing the amount by $1,000 for every second speakers exceed a 45-second time limit.
  • Children from the Boys & Girls Club will attend the ceremony, where the penalty money will shrink if winners exceed their allotted 45 seconds for thank-you speeches.
  • Bargatze explained that if a speaker exceeds their 45-second limit, he will reduce the donation by $1,000 for each additional second, confirming he is personally funding the pledge and challenging winners to confront the consequences directly.
