I'll spoil: 1) Nate Bargatze 2) Chappelle 3) Seinfeld 4) Gabriel Iglesias ($40.6M and 558k tickets on 111 shows) 5) Matt Rife -- nm - MDH Aug 30, 09:23 14
- Assuming the 40m is the show revenue, is there a sense of how much of that the comedians take? -- nm - Max Aug 30, 10:30 1
  - $100-150 per set, I'd imagine. Ticketmaster CEO gotta eat! -- nm* - Turd Ferguson Aug 30, 10:54
- Today is the first time I have ever heard the name Nate Bargatze. -- nm - Jovian Aug 30, 09:38 8
  - I didn't really know him until I saw him on SNL. I thought his standup was fine, but this sketch was fantastic. -- (link) - pmb Aug 30, 09:45 [youtube] 4
    - He works squeaky clean like Seinfeld and Gaffigan. -- nm - con_carne Aug 30, 11:04
    - 20 years ago he'd already have a multicam on CBS this fall called Better Nate Than Ever with Nikki Glaser as his hot bitchy wife -- nm - mr mooch Aug 30, 10:14
    - heh. I knew what that was before I clicked. It's hilarious -- nm - oblique Aug 30, 09:55
    - ohhh thats who this is. And yea this snl skit was *fantastic*. -- nm* - Jovian Aug 30, 09:53
  - He's a hotshot mogul by now, his Nateland company produces shows of *other comedians* -- nm - con_carne Aug 30, 09:42 2
    - So his numbers for being number one are nonsense then? As they include other comedians? -- nm - Jovian Aug 30, 09:43 1
      - I meant TV shows not concerts. -- nm - con_carne Aug 30, 09:47
- That's a lot of shows for Iglesias and Rife. -- nm - colin Aug 30, 09:27
- Damn it. I might have guessed the first 4, but not Rife. -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 09:25 1
