The Greatest Average American is an American television game show that premiered on ABC in 2026. The series was created and is executive-produced by comedian Nate Bargatze and producer John Quinn. It combines lighthearted competition with trivia rooted in real-world American life.
The format centers on contestants tackling a mix of challenges and quizzes designed to gauge how well they reflect the attitudes, habits, and perceptions of typical Americans. Each round asks players to predict answers or complete tasks that reflect what an “average American” might do, think, or choose, blending humor with relatable cultural insights. The show’s tone is playful, often highlighting everyday scenarios that resonate with broad audiences.
At the end of each episode, one contestant earns the title of “Greatest Average American” and competes for the ultimate prize — the average annual salary in the United States, set at $67,920. This prize concept reinforces the show’s theme of everyday life and brings a real-world reward to its quirky competition format.
Nate Bargatze serves as the show’s host, bringing his signature easygoing humor and relatable style to the proceedings. Bargatze is a Grammy‑ and Emmy‑nominated stand‑up comedian known for his clean, observational comedy, and his involvement in the show as both host and creative force helps shape its comedic approach.
