MeTV Halloween 2024 Events; CBS' Nate Bargatze Holiday Special
"Svengoolie's Halloween BOO-Nanza" is back for another memorable spooky season on MeTV! Now in its third year, the popular programming event is a month-long celebration of Svengoolie with fright-filled, spooky and kooky classic TV fun for the entire family. The event is anchored by back-to-back movies every Saturday night in October as part of the 'Svengoolie Classic Horror & Sci Fi Movie' featuring host Svengoolie, aka Rich Koz, who is celebrating his 45th year of portraying the iconic horror host! He is joined by his Sven Squad crew which includes Sarah Palmer as the gorgeous ghoul Gwengoolie, Scott Gryder as the devilishly ingratiating IMP (Ignatius Malvolio Prankerstein) and Bill Leff as the 800-year-old vampire Nostalgiaferatoo.
This year, MeTV introduces the "House of Svengoolie," The Sven Squad's takeover of Svengoolie’s dungeon in celebration of two brand new movie titles joining the Svengoolie library – the Jim Henson masterpieces Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal. The Squad also makes a special Saturday morning appearance for the "House of Svengoolie Cartoon BOO-Nanza," a one-hour special featuring their favorite spooky-themed Loony Tunes cartoons. Throughout October, special overnight series will include The Twilight Zone, Kolchak: The Night Stalker and encore presentations of MeTV’s Sventoonie, plus enjoy weekend and Halloween-day mini-marathons of Halloween-themed classic TV westerns and comedy TV series, the season 5 finale of MeTV’s original series Collector’s Call featuring a Halloween mask collection, and so much more!
CBS announces the first primetime special featuring comedian Nate Bargatze. Executive produced by Lorne Michaels and his company Broadway Video, this one-hour holiday-themed variety show will broadcast on the CBS Television Network in December 2024, and stream on Paramount+ (live and on-demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on-demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the special airs)*. The special's title, air date and time will be announced at a later date.
Taped at the iconic Grand Ole Opry on Nov. 21, the holiday special will be anchored by Bargatze, who will serve as master of ceremonies, guiding audiences through a mix of stand-up comedy, pre-taped comedy shorts, sketches and musical performances. The show will shine a spotlight on the heart and spirit of Nashville during the holiday season, highlighting family, fun and feel-good moments that resonate with audiences of all ages. This marks Bargatze's return to The Grand Ole Opry, where his journey in comedy began as an entry-level employee. Bargatze will collaborate with Saturday Night Live's Mikey Day and co-head writer Streeter Seidell, who previously joined forces with Bargatze when he hosted SNL last season on the wildly popular "Washington's Dream" sketch.
