This is a pleasant, if somewhat simplistic, addition to the game show genre. The format of Greatest Average American is easy to follow, but it lacks the high-stakes tension found in more complex competitions. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Mar 2
The Greatest Average American isn’t as consistently funny as Nate Bargatze’s stand-up or his podcast is, but it has the same shrugging, easygoing charm, and its pacing keeps Bargatze and company from straining to fill dead moments with lame gags. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Danny C @Djoint Feb 26 Not my cup of tea. Thought with Nate it would be better. He looked like he was reading cue cards the whole show. Hopefully he will get better. See more K B @KB_Review Feb 26 It is refreshing to watch a show that is filled with disgusting content. Nate is hilarious, and Julian does a great job supporting Nate. If you want a show where you can play along (as an average American), and can watch with your children, or parents....this is show to watch! I think they will fine tune the show to find ways to make it even better, but it was a great start! See more Timothy E @TimothyEdwards Feb 26 Funny and easy to play along with! Loved it! See more Scott E @darthelliott Feb 26 Nate is just the best! Great game show! Fun to play along at home. Greg and Julian are great on there as well! See more Read all reviews
