Nate Bargatze's "The Greatest Average American" Game Show Premieres on ABC

Ricky Gervais

Comedian, writer, and actor who created "The Office" and writes provocatively on comedy and society.

Comedian Nate Bargatze's latest venture, a game show titled "The Greatest Average American," is set to debut tonight on ABC. This new program, which highlights the virtues of being perfectly ordinary, will air at 9 p.m. ET, inviting audiences to celebrate the everyday.

For those without traditional cable, Sling TV offers a convenient streaming option. The Sling Blue plan, starting at $45.99 per month, provides access to ABC, along with other popular channels like NFL Network, Bravo, CNN, and FOX News. Alternatively, a day pass for just $4.99 is available for viewers who wish to watch only the premiere episode. The show challenges contestants to predict the common thoughts and habits of typical Americans, with the winner earning a substantial prize of $67,920, reflecting the average American salary. "The Greatest Average American" is a collaboration between Walt Disney Television Alternative, Nateland, and Da Da Production, with Bargatze and John Quinn serving as executive producers.

Beyond its initial broadcast, new episodes will be accessible on Hulu the day after their Wednesday airing, providing flexibility for different viewing preferences. However, for real-time viewing, Sling TV remains the recommended platform. This show not only offers entertainment but also subtly encourages a appreciation for the ordinary, reminding us that there is often greatness to be found in what is common and relatable, fostering a sense of unity and shared experience.
