Louis CK talks about how he introduced Jerry Seinfeld by saying he was the greatest comedian, and Jerry told him never to say that because it raises expectations too high, so I guess Louis CK recalls that incident, and did it to Nate.
Seinfeld's inability to find common ground with more inexperienced but clearly talented comedians speaks to a serious personality flaw. When I was 22yo, I was a young flight instructor. I had just passed my check ride and I found myself at a seminar where I was seated next to Frank Borman, Commander of Apollo 8. He treated me like I was his equal. I hadn't accomplished anything yet and he'd flown to the backside of the moon and back and yet he held the door for me on coffee breaks and genuinely seemed interested in my opinions regarding aviation, a subject he was the most expert in. He was such a gentleman. The exact opposite of Seinfeld, I suppose.
A dude who literally is a spaceman vs some guy who was funny in the 1990s, then dropped off FAST. Jerry still seems to be in denial that it was his collaboration with Larry David that made the show Seinfeld great (from a writing perspective). Jerry clearly is a footnote in that genius, just seeing what he's done since Seinfeld.
Yea Seinfeld is just wealthy, isolated from most of society, and arrogant. And that's coming from someone whose favorite sitcom ever is Seinfeld. I have a Seinfeld tattoo. But he's undoubtedly a jerk.
You can tell that left an impression on Nate. He clearly prides himself on showing genuine respectful behavior regardless of who he associates with, and that he would never react in that way to an up and coming comic.
Almost 20 years ago Louis was on Opie and Anthony complained about a morning show host that was trying to explain and make sense of his joke and saying "the most unfunny thing someone can do is explain someone elses bit"
8:25 Nate, this is my life right now. I’ve been there before, but leveling up again. Hard place to be. Way to power through. Your latest release was your best work. Keep on, keeping on.
It’s no surprise that Burr was nice to Nate, he’s always helpful to young comics and he had Nate on the Bill Burt podcast, which is one of the best episodes.
Louis and Nate are both hilarious masters of the craft. What we have is a clash of personality types. Louis is an aggressive outgoing type, whereas Nate is a nice passive aggressive guy who spends a lot of time in his own head. Nate actually has a whole bit about how a lady on a plane told him to turn off his cellphone and how she was wrong but was so aggressive that he did it anyway. He says: "Now I think about her every day." That's exactly what's going on with Louis. I get it, I'm a lot like Nate in that respect. I don't like confrontation, I just hold a grudge. Actually the older I get, the more I confront people straight up. Holding it in and stewing is not a healthy way to live.
You must not know Louis very well if you think he is "outgoing" or doesn't spend a lot of time in his own head lol, he just takes advantage of situations where he perceives himself to be in a position of power
Had a friend who could be really obtuse and aggressive, but was also a closet introvert. Such a strange relationship. Eventually it just became the absolute worst of both worlds.
I met Louis C.K. after a show to buy a dvd and he signed it. He was so friendly and genuinely happy that we talked to him and got a baby sitter so we could see him. Not saying anyone is perfect but hard to judge everyone off one thing good or bad.
nate talking about how his wife explains a joke and takes the fun out of it is too relatable 🤣 I'll tell a joke to my wife and shell try to make logical sense of it. I'm just like, ehhh nevermind babe, it was just a joke
Honestly, those stories about Louie don’t seem like he’s that bad. Perhaps he was trying to help Pete Davidson. That’s what it sounded like to me. Also, Louie riffing on Nate’s joke doesn’t seem that harsh and comedians break each other’s balls all the time. It was almost like Louie treated him as an equal. But I think the bigger issue is that ppl really badly want their idols to be nice to them, so when those celebrities are NOT nice, then the scars go even deeper. If Louie was just some stranger to Nate, I bet it wouldn’t be a big deal.
Louis said he opened for Seinfeld when he was starting. He introduced Jerry as "the best comedian in the world" and Jerry chewed Louis out for it. I guess the hype man can't hype or it's a dick move
Yeah, that was on the HBO show "Talking Dirty". Jerry said when you hype the comedian up crazy high like that, the audience gets judgy and defensive, like, "Well, we'll just see about that." Louis remembered Jerry's anger pretty well lol. Sounds like Louis was trying to inform Nate the way he had been informed. The problem is Louis' predecessors were rough ass NYC comics who heckled the crap out of each other, so his teaching methods weren't going to go over with everyone. (Still don't know why he messed with Pete like that, that's a shitty way to give career advice.)
That's exactly what you don't do when introducing a comic. Any comic. You don't want to set expectations so high and then let everybody down. Seinfeld already has to do with that because he is Seinfeld and people are expecting a certain level of comedy from him.
@@specialwhenlit8435Nate left out the part where Louis went to Lorne and tried to get Pete fired. Pete said it during a special. That was the real dick move on Louis’ part!
@@SALVATl0NI saw Seinfeld and my expectations were through the roof. He delivered, as he should have. He was paid very well. Do you lower your expectations if you’re having surgery or need the cops or dine out? Nope.
I feel like Nate has grown up before our eyes. I watch videos of him constantly and he has always been good but he has knocked it out of the park in the past few years. He has always had the most integrity of any comedian. I love the old Louie CK but hearing these stories about him makes it impossible to admire Louis on any level. Even if he ate a humble pie since "the incident", his arrogance still holds weight.
Nate is awesome. This comment section is filled with so many haters? Sorry kids, if you think nate is dumb, you don't get the jokes. Over your angry little heads im afraid.
That's funny Nate was saying he thought that stuff was aggressive by Louie, because when I saw Nate on Kevin Nealon hiking show I kept getting the impression that he was being oddly aggressive and upset towards Kevin.
@@Rockscissorspaper I was trying to be charitable. Nate has been around a while and is pretty good but he's gossiping like a school girl and generally being a BITCH. So, for the moment, I'm trying to be nice and say he has maturing and growing to do. Otherwise I'd just say there's something wrong with someone that age to be talking that way.
@@genoface Not all of them. But certainly too many do. And the great ones usually have more of an understanding and angle than this numbskullery in the vid.
Louis CK, for all his smarts, failed to grasp very basic concepts like "Be nice to people on the way up because you're going to bump into them on the way down." And he went down pretty fast.
Ive had a comic make fun of a bit I did after I went up. Still makes me mad to this day. Dude said some some wild shit like "i thought he was about to say the N-word" and none of my material was even racial so it made no sense either when the crowd laughed. Only thing that gave me peace was realizing his comedy reflexes were dogshit cuz he was trying to swim out the deep end and used an irrelevant racial slur as a liferaft
Ever think that if a single person critiques your joke and an audience laughs in collective understanding, that maybe it might not be translating the way you think it does in your head? Sounds a bit more like your joke didn’t land, the audience agreed, and created a prolonged grudge over a single jab.
@@Mr.Marketing no you deff are digging too deep. He simply made a retort that had nothing to do with my material. I dont have a grudge for it, I just thought it was a weird dig
Sucks that Louis CK wasn't nice. he seemed a bit self aware about it, and yea he was unfortunately "cancelled" and I don't have strong opinions about that. Just a fan of his comedy personally. He still sells out MSG and is a topic comic. I hope to see him live again someday!
My guess is that Louis wasn’t making fun of Nate’s bit in a condescending way so much as riffing on it with his own spin on it, finding something about it he wanted to talk about, like when you disagree with someone about something in a conversation. It just seems on-brand for Louis’s type of comedy, and Nate was too close to it to see it objectively until later on. It’s cool that Nate admits that he was wrong about it in the later part of this clip, that he saw things skewed.
I love Nate! My Uncle recommended him to me and my Dad and he's hilarious. However I feel like something was lost in translation with his story. At least knowing how Bill Burr Kevin Hart Patrice and such came up in the business. It feels likr Louis was just doing the same type of razzing they went through (except not even half as bad as when Patrice was around lol).
Louis loves to fuck with other performers for the amusement of the audience, so it's not personal against Nate. He's done it in Improv (and talked about it on Opie and Anthony), where instead of "Yes And", he would completely stop the improv with a dry "no", making the audience laugh, because it's so unexpected.
Watching this show is like when I am stuck sitting next to some 15 year olds who think they are two smart for junior high. I feel bad for folks who follow this show
he's been a comic for like 20 years in all kinds of comedy environments. he'd have left the business a long time ago if he couldn't be around that kind of thing.
Good for you Nate! And yeah, watch how you trewt peope on the way up...there is never a reason to just be a dick to someone. Even in comedy. Yeah, bust each others balls so it"s fun for both of you.
These interviewers are dolts. They ask the question, then answer it for Nate. Using "universally thought of" to tee up hate for Seinfeld. Pretty sure saying every comic in the universe has this opinion is an exaggeration. I would say most comics disagree with these interviewers. Look at comics who have opened for him and they'll say he loves getting their opinions on comedy. If they're talking about his personality, there's no crime in coming off like you are standoffish with some people.
Louis CK is honest and original as hell, otherwise he wouldn't be sold out and said what he said to Nate then... They were just at different points of time of life and having different personalities, and maybe just maybe Louis is a bit jealous of Nate having a working marriage. I am totally guessing. 😂
I think louis ck is the best stand up. And he's very interesting and funny in interviews. But it's clear he is easily threatened by anyone else who is funny, young or good looking. He has a history of acting malicious towards these people. That bullet concept was so good, I'm not surprised he tried to cut the legs from under it.
@@nw1750 He just doesn't seem like a shouty in-your-face guy to me. From interviews, Comedians in Cars, bloopers, the documentary ("Comedian"), etc., I can definitely imagine him being rude, but not yelling and being aggressive. It just doesn't seem to be in his nature. Whereas there's an aggression to Louie, I can easily imagine an interaction like Nate describes.
Absolutely love Louie. I buy his specials, and am on his mailing list. I’ll be a fan for life. He’s a genius comic. Having said that, I’m confident that he’s a probably a massive POS. You can separate the art from the artist I guess.
@@Dustomatic What does COMEDY have to do with 'being nice'? Do you inspect the social resume of a chef before you partake in their food? Don't be thick.
@ I’m not talking about my interaction with the guy. I just care about his content. I’m talking about his interaction with his contemporaries. It’s unnecessary to be rude. That’s not gonna change whether or not I like this comedy. But if you can’t see the point, it’s ironic that you’re calling me thick.
It’s sucks when humans let fame go to their head and they stop being human. That stuff would only go so far with me before I spoke my mind about it. I don’t care who you are - big shot - you ain’t gonna disrespect me!
Nate keeps pulling back and downplaying what Louis CK did, but I believe that's just because Nate is a humble person and a genuinely nice guy. So my question is just what kind of huge a**h*le Louis CK must be that he actually pissed off Nate Bargatze to the point that it's still a painful memory several years later and he's willing to publicly call CK out for it?
Well I love Nate, but he also gives Seinfeld an excuse for bad behavior and then complains about Louis CK doing the same to him? I do love Louis CK still though as a standup comedian, and I never saw the draw of Seinfeld, so maybe biased, Nate is still one of my top 5 stand ups. Fully get how that situation sucked.
He says Jerry’s the greatest and how could you give him shit for being mean to new comics when he’s been doing it for 40 years and then tells a story of Louie doing the same thing but he’s a dick for it.
Comics trashing each other is just the way it is. He shouldn't take it too seriously. Patrice would shit all over Louie and Louie would get mad but he would give it back too and it was hilarious.
Nah you don’t shit on another comic’s bit that they just did when you’re performing after them, especially when you are the headliner. It’s just one of those unwritten rules. Rip and clown on each other off stage all the time is fair game, but on stage is different. Patrice never trashed another comic’s bit on stage. He would on the radio but not on stage in front of an audience
@spinblackcircles Patrice literally used to sit and hold court in The Cellar and clown on everyone and everything they said on stage. Bill Burr would be afraid to come in when Patrice and company were holding court. He thru a phone book on stage and told Kevin Hart to read it because it would be funnier than anything he was saying 😂😂
Nates funny & clean. Solid comedian. Louie CK (then & Now) is the the GOAT, he's the comedians Comedian, that's how amazingly funny he is. He is very dirty & i think thats how he's the greatest. He has no limits. Also the Pete Davidson thing Never actually happens & its ironic that a no talent having lucky-to be-famous actor like Pete would try (& fail) to steal on Louie while he was falling from grace.. now i'd say he's still the best active comedian, probably even better than Dave Chapelle, but only because Chappelle is so openly racist now.. still funny, but super racist.
Pete Davison's special where he addressed that was not that good. IMO. Most of that show was Amy Schumer/Brendan Schaub unfunny. I am not sure if Louis has ever wasted his time explaining what really happened. I suspect Louis was actually looking out for a young guy who was going to flame out in short order if he didn't start taking his life more serious. I doubt he tried to get him fired. So far, he has done fine coasting on whatever trait people like about him. It hasn't been talent.
This is largely the same thing Pete Davidson said. “If thats THE GUY and he doesn’t like me, then what the hell am I doing?” I’ve seen Louie act like a sanctimonious douche. He’s one of those people that ARE smart, just not as smart as they think they are. Polar opposite of Norm Macdonald.
To be a comedian that’s popping off right now, he really struggles to put together a coherent thought. I liked his RUclips shorts, was sort of surprised at how hard he had to work to complete sentences though.
Same shit happens to me. You spend all day thinking these complex thoughts, and suddenly people want to have these super simple conversations and you have to completely change gears.
“I didn’t know what to do, and a professional that could be the best ever told me how to be better and it hurt my feelings and I wish he would have done the ‘good’ thing and continue to allow me to be an idiot” That’s what this sounded like to me. But I’m probably an asshole like Louis.
Most comics would be thrilled if Louis CK made fun of one of their jokes but Nate got his little feelings hurt, ha. I dig both of them. Realize that Louis CK being a bit of an asshole , that quality, is what makes his comedy funny.
Nate seems like a solid dude. Incredibly gracious and humble.
he seems like a putz. STFU and learn.
Louis CK talks about how he introduced Jerry Seinfeld by saying he was the greatest comedian, and Jerry told him never to say that because it raises expectations too high, so I guess Louis CK recalls that incident, and did it to Nate.
Exactly. Now I wonder if, early on, Jerry Seinfeld introduced a comic with too much fanfare and was reprimanded.
That's completely different...
Or he is just a terrible person.
@@GeneLeeRollins🎉😊u
@@kevinathans4191 yeah the difference is Louis isn't a pussy and learned from it and wasn't bitching about the incident decades later

@@Pleaselikemycomment1 he had a special out and it was a big venue in Seattle but not as popular as he got to for sure.

Jerry Seinfeld gave the same talk to Louie. Don’t over sell me. You’re not the only one, Nate.
That's fine, but deconstructing his joke was really shitty.
I doubt Seinfeld was angry and aggressive about it though.
@@lizzy-wx4rx Do you? Why? Based on how he's treated people (comics and others), why do you doubt Seinfeld would have been aggressive??
@@nw1750 He just doesn't seem like a shouty in-your-face guy to me. From interviews, Comedians in Cars, bloopers, the documentary ("Comedian"), etc., I can definitely imagine him being rude, but not yelling and being aggressive. It just doesn't seem to be in his nature. Whereas there's an aggression to Louie, I can easily imagine an interaction like Nate describes.
@@lizzy-wx4rx Understand your stance, but... luckily your "imagination" doesn't count in real life.
Absolutely love Louie. I buy his specials, and am on his mailing list. I’ll be a fan for life. He’s a genius comic.
Having said that, I’m confident that he’s a probably a massive POS. You can separate the art from the artist I guess.
Somebody who masturbates in front of me I’m crossing off the live show entertainment.
Can’t take it personal when another comic roasts your joke, all in the game yo
Not when you're trashing your opener.
Nah I love Louis but I get what Nate is saying. He was completely unknown, trashing his joke to the audience had to make him feel like 2 feet tall
@@spinblackcircles which truly isn't too far off...
@@spinblackcirclessure but it also comes off as “Louis was kind of mean to me this one time”
@@frightenedsoul I got the impression it was multiple times and he was just describing a specific incident
Well he taught you something you didn’t know and now you know. What’s the issue?
Sounds like a boy named sue situation.
Hey bear!!
Love Nate. Don’t care for Louis C K especially after this video. What a jerk he is.
Team Nate!!!
how does that middle eastern man have a southern bell accent?
Lol... where is Hannibal now? He mist have refused the Diidy ride.... he gawn
Louis C.K. has more talent in his pinkie than the three of these people and probably most of their friends....
OK. But what does it have to do with being nice?
@@Dustomatic Fair point. I actually like Nate. Was really more responding to the other 2 meatheads.
@@Dustomatic What does COMEDY have to do with 'being nice'? Do you inspect the social resume of a chef before you partake in their food?
Don't be thick.
@ I’m not talking about my interaction with the guy. I just care about his content. I’m talking about his interaction with his contemporaries. It’s unnecessary to be rude. That’s not gonna change whether or not I like this comedy. But if you can’t see the point, it’s ironic that you’re calling me thick.
It’s sucks when humans let fame go to their head and they stop being human. That stuff would only go so far with me before I spoke my mind about it. I don’t care who you are - big shot - you ain’t gonna disrespect me!
Nate keeps pulling back and downplaying what Louis CK did, but I believe that's just because Nate is a humble person and a genuinely nice guy. So my question is just what kind of huge a**h*le Louis CK must be that he actually pissed off Nate Bargatze to the point that it's still a painful memory several years later and he's willing to publicly call CK out for it?
Well I love Nate, but he also gives Seinfeld an excuse for bad behavior and then complains about Louis CK doing the same to him? I do love Louis CK still though as a standup comedian, and I never saw the draw of Seinfeld, so maybe biased, Nate is still one of my top 5 stand ups. Fully get how that situation sucked.
Wait, so when Seinfeld is stuck up it’s fine bc he’s been doing it a long time but when Louis CK does it it’s terrible?
Bc???
Nobody’s shocked that Louis is a prick to those he considers beneath him.
Eh, you’re reading way too much into this 😂
Women
He says Jerry’s the greatest and how could you give him shit for being mean to new comics when he’s been doing it for 40 years and then tells a story of Louie doing the same thing but he’s a dick for it.
Comics trashing each other is just the way it is. He shouldn't take it too seriously. Patrice would shit all over Louie and Louie would get mad but he would give it back too and it was hilarious.
Nah you don’t shit on another comic’s bit that they just did when you’re performing after them, especially when you are the headliner. It’s just one of those unwritten rules. Rip and clown on each other off stage all the time is fair game, but on stage is different. Patrice never trashed another comic’s bit on stage. He would on the radio but not on stage in front of an audience
@spinblackcircles
Patrice literally used to sit and hold court in The Cellar and clown on everyone and everything they said on stage. Bill Burr would be afraid to come in when Patrice and company were holding court. He thru a phone book on stage and told Kevin Hart to read it because it would be funnier than anything he was saying 😂😂
Nate>Louis
So its okay when Jerry Seinfeld is a dick, but not Louis.
Nates funny & clean. Solid comedian.
Louie CK (then & Now) is the the GOAT, he's the comedians Comedian, that's how amazingly funny he is. He is very dirty & i think thats how he's the greatest. He has no limits. Also the Pete Davidson thing Never actually happens & its ironic that a no talent having lucky-to be-famous actor like Pete would try (& fail) to steal on Louie while he was falling from grace.. now i'd say he's still the best active comedian, probably even better than Dave Chapelle, but only because Chappelle is so openly racist now.. still funny, but super racist.
Racist against whom? What race(s)?
Pete Davison's special where he addressed that was not that good. IMO. Most of that show was Amy Schumer/Brendan Schaub unfunny. I am not sure if Louis has ever wasted his time explaining what really happened. I suspect Louis was actually looking out for a young guy who was going to flame out in short order if he didn't start taking his life more serious. I doubt he tried to get him fired. So far, he has done fine coasting on whatever trait people like about him. It hasn't been talent.
Nates funny on stage.
Off stage it's hard to believe it's the same guy... so hard to listen to.
wheres hannibal
Louies the living goat!
Pete Davidson talking sh*t about Louie is like hearing a 12 year old trashing Michael Jordan
Nate is better than Louis CK
This is largely the same thing Pete Davidson said. “If thats THE GUY and he doesn’t like me, then what the hell am I doing?” I’ve seen Louie act like a sanctimonious douche. He’s one of those people that ARE smart, just not as smart as they think they are. Polar opposite of Norm Macdonald.
This guy snivels.
To be a comedian that’s popping off right now, he really struggles to put together a coherent thought. I liked his RUclips shorts, was sort of surprised at how hard he had to work to complete sentences though.
Wet paper bag
Same shit happens to me. You spend all day thinking these complex thoughts, and suddenly people want to have these super simple conversations and you have to completely change gears.
Yeah-uh-ye-uhh yeah, he is like… uhh a wet- uh-like joke uhh ha ha. Yeah-uh man KEEp goin…..-uhh like yeah….
It’s been known how slow Nate is. Dude literally can’t spell words.
@@ryandunn2930 nailed it 😂😂😂
I'm really surprised to find out that Jerry Seinfeld and Louis CK are jerks.
I mean, who could have guessed? 😐
Louie isn’t a jerk. You can’t judge someone you’ve never met based on one random no-name comedians 10 minute story.
@@TheArbiterOfTruth Yeah, good idea. It's a good thing I'm not doing that. But thanks, Mom.
@@jedward5155 that’s exactly what you’re doing, but oh well.
@@TheArbiterOfTruth No I'm not, Mom. The voices in your head belong to you, Mom.
Nates incoherence is hard to listen Too not knocking the guy as a person its just his story telling
Louis could sense Nate's fake humility & agitated him.
His "aww shucks, little old me" persona is disingenuous.
Fake humility? Or... CK was just being a dick.
Nate’s comedy is nice and soft. But for some reason he doesn’t seem to be.
LOL what?
I never understood why people expect famous people to kiss their ass and take an interest in their personal life.
“I didn’t know what to do, and a professional that could be the best ever told me how to be better and it hurt my feelings and I wish he would have done the ‘good’ thing and continue to allow me to be an idiot”
That’s what this sounded like to me. But I’m probably an asshole like Louis.
Yep.
That Pete bit isn’t funny
Hmm. Nate sounds whiny.
So Louis made you better for the fire he lit in you 😂
Nate is 10 times funnier than C.K.
On what planet?
@desioye7782 - now THAT is comedy!!!
Most comics would be thrilled if Louis CK made fun of one of their jokes but Nate got his little feelings hurt, ha. I dig both of them. Realize that Louis CK being a bit of an asshole , that quality, is what makes his comedy funny.
He still doesn't like him, you can tell.
This wasn’t *that* wild lmao
Dude grow a set.
Who is Nate bagates
Bruh, he's like 60. The next intro would be, "ladies and gentlemen, up next a man who will, in 2 weeks, break the record for most teeth shitted...."
I'm from Fresno. Show proper decorum or fight. Period.
@slapshot6ful "most teeth shitted". Wow. What an incredibly smart turn of phrase. Did you think of that all by yourself, or did a parent assist you?
A professional comedian can't take a joke. Sounds like a joke, almost...
Is Nate a comedian?
