Host Nate Bargatze Says He’s Donating $100,000 to the Boys and Girls Club

But… there’s a catch. He says that for every second that an actor or actress goes over their 45-second time limit for speeches, a $1,000 will be taken off. However, for every second that a celebrity is under, $1,000 will be added to the total.

And for Seth Rogan, he went six seconds under, meaning that the total is currently at $106,000.
