Nashville comedian Nate Bargatze shouts out Vanderbilt football upset over Alabama on SNL

Saturday was quite the night for comedian Nate Bargatze.

Bargatze hosted Saturday Night Live shortly after Vanderbilt football pulled off the shocking 40-35 upset over No. 2 Alabama in Nashville. The win was the first for the Commodores after being 0-60 against AP top-5 opposition before Saturday. It was Vanderbilt’s first win over Alabama since 1984.

While fans carried the goalposts from the victory down Broadway to celebrate, Bargatze honored the Commodores himself at the end of his monologue by gesturing “Anchor Down” with his hands. He again gave the Vanderbilt football team a massive shutout at the show’s end.

“VANDERBILT BEAT ALABAMA,” Bargatze proclaimed while flexing.
