Washington (Nate Bargatze) staring off into the distance in Washington's Dream on SNL.
Nate Bargatze, hosting Saturday Night Live for the second time in less than a year, continued a trend with his"Washington's Dream 2" sketch in SNL's October 5 episode. The Grammy-nominated comedian from Nashville, Tennessee, debuted as George Washington in"Washington's Dream" when he first hosted SNL season 49. Since then, the sketch has been considered one of the best in SNL's 50 seasons.
In"Washington's Dream 2," Bargatze's Washington elaborated on his dreams, explaining they were fighting to liberate the American language. Bargatze started by saying that he dreamed the country would have a word for the number 12, called "a dozen," but later told a soldier that "we don't use it that way" when he tried to use the term in the number's place.
Washington's Dream 2 Is Another Great Saturday Night Live Sequel Nate Bargatze Returned As General Washington "Washington's Dream 2" was an SNL sketch sequel that worked, continuing a trend of great sequels. For instance, Ryan Gosling successfully returned his"Papyrus" sketch, which showed a man haunted by the Avatar franchise's choice to use the Papyrus font in its logo.
How Washington's Dream 2 Compares To The Original Sketch From 2023 Washington's Dream 2 Is Just As Funny, But The Original Was, Well, Original Close However, it might be a stretch to say that the sequel bested the original. While familiarity and repetition certainly play a role in comedy, sometimes a character's appeal is originality. Since the reception to the sketch was the best in recent years, a"Washington's Dream" follow-up will be more fun than most sketches.
