Bill Hader’s laugh cures my anxiety and depression.

[@tentsio]

I hear you. It helps a lot for sure.

[@valeriek8537]

@@tentsio it’s just so candid and adorable.

[@StylistFia127]

Yes!!!

[@ariesleguin]

I bet those anxieties and deppressions came from watching Barry.

[@ethane_236]

Watching Bill Hader in an interview is honestly just as fun as watching him in a role

[@VoltaDoMar]

it's a true thing about a lot of comedians that they don't laugh easily. But Bill is an exception. I love to see how much he finds humor in things, it's infectious

[@ezkefen]

i like your name

[@Mia7189]

I think Stephen Root is an unsung hero of acting. You notice him in every role he inhabits. Just an AMAZING actor.

[@riparianlife97701]

Milton forever.

[@michaelrfx7]

I agree, Stephen Root deserves a lifetime achievement award!

[@whipwalka]

with this new fuches in season 4 i must say this is my favorite role from him

[@SpongiformSpongee]

He's an amazing character actor. Super underrated.

[@83gemm]

I know he’s amazing because every time I see him I’m like, “Oh, my god, I KNOW him from SOMEWHERE! Who is that?” Then I google and it’s like 18 iconic roles, but he’s soooo good you never recognize the actor, just the character.

[@markrosario13]

Bill laughing at Henry’s early career hardship is hysterical!

[@DaftKid]

Man, Henry is so humble and never forgets to thank the whole crew. Props to him!

[@mikeytrahant943]

YOu are remembered for 2 things in life, Being kind or Not. Henry Winkler is known for his kindness.

[@NimaRazavi]

Bill Hader laughs: 2:13 2:48 2:53 26:09 26:49 36:15 36:22

[@valeriek8537]

This should be pinned. 😹

[@NimaRazavi]

@@andresgomez8411 haha thanks Andres! :D

[@user-ux3vw6mb4k]

Thank you!

[@LtFrankDrebin100]

Interviewer: “Sarah I think your character is doing the best out of anyone so far…” Sarah: *nervous chuckle “So far…” *raises eyebrows

[@KevinDooley420]

Was thinking the same thing, finding this after the season 3 finale. Cracked me up!

[@laraneville9952]

Henry Winkler is simply the best interview 😍 He's always so entertaining and a great story teller with the most Hollywood stories (in the best sense)

[@LeVidocq]

We really need scenes between Cousineau and Noho Hank.

[@frankenviews4069]

There's a real feel of Breaking Bad meets John Wick this season. All the desperation leading to absurd irrational behavior. So much farcical coincidences. The high concept dynamic action sequences. The creative out of the box cinematography. Just amazing.

[@joanneweiss3864]

Perfect description of this season!!!

[@JBOsurf]

When someone speaks, they speak and then others interject and it gets conversational. When Henry speaks, everyone else stops. Respect.

[@mikejgebhart145]

Dude Henry Winkler forever

[@jamesk1245]

Their CHOSEN backgrounds and clothes (and camera lenses) say SOOOO much about EACH actor here 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Sarah/Stephen🤣🤣🤣

[@SwimmingRobot]

They're such a wonderful cast and it's such a great show! Loved this interview!

[@rudra4625]

i can hear henry tell stories all day

[@alextorres7655]

the unsung hero of this show imo is stephen root. he really disappears in his role and brings the show to a really serious dramatic territory. such a brilliant actor

[@JohnFRambo]

The reason Bill harder laughs is that he exactly knows the real character of his actors and he tallies mentally it with their acting and he tactfully fit the characters with touch of their real human character. Bill is so good at what he does 👏!

[@mandyschmidt7960]

I literally screamed when I saw this in my mentions. Barry is my favourite show, I love all these amazing people but most of all Bill. I discovered him and his work at the beginning of 2021 and he got me out of depression during the whole lockdown business. I adore him and these people so much.

[@ryancrean.]

I love how bill hader just completely zones out at 0:59 I'm literally dying.

[@CA-nt5pl]

Bill, you are a talented guy. Also, casting Henry Winkler was greatness. He is a legend. Loving this season of Barry, and episode 6 of season 3 was epic.

[@MKSouthernStar]

Bill saying nothing but the first peep is that laugh just got me 😂

[@lisalove6370]

I just discovered Barry...I could not stop laughing through every episode. Thank you.

[@TheFrizbaloid]

Henry winkler has been attached to so many iconic shows. Stephen Root has been connected to so many iconic movies.

[@melaniehaynesactress]

Love them all! I was so honored to work with them and I can say they are just as warm and lovely on set as they are here.

[@TiffanysTVscape]

What part did you play? Or was it behind the scenes work?

[@prettycutegirl5167]

15:45 thats insane. Henry was so wonderful for the entire stretch of the show, it makes so much sense that this show had a casting director so in tune with Billy Hader.

[@silverblue73]

Can we get a podcast of Bill and Henry just talking about literally anything?

[@ffwlpe]

season 3 finale was fucking GOLD.

[@Jerseychica914]

This was a wonderful interview. Was hoping to hear Bill's worst audition, though. I smiled throughout like Bill did whenever Henry was talking. All such lovely people.

[@brianlaughlin8974]

This show had an amazing A+++ cast. Sarah Goldberg's intensity as Sally just blew me away.

[@pnwajs3532]

This entire cast is fantastic. After Barry ends I'll watch everything each of these people do. I want to see all of them continue to get great work.

[@fanofcanes44]

Just finished watching the season finale of BARRY and the season 3 retrospective I have to congratulate the entire cast on this and ever season . I have to say it was a rough season to watch and also went by so fast that I wanted more . Another congrats on what I'm sure will be a busy awards season for all. As you promised in the end of the season extra,sta PLEASE bring fast the funny in season 4 . Stay safe and healthy in 2022

[@carriezilla981]

Hader's laugh is contagious

[@MissUniqueSarah]

So far #Barry season 3 is amazing. I love this show!

[@van.13]

Bill Hader’s laugh is a classic, never fail!

[@scottsmith955]

How cool to see people put such passion into a project and put the project ahead of "self", it shows in every scene, every shot. Love each of them.

[@KipArmadillo]

"Shots of lamb urine." Winkler is a national treasure.

[@jessif.]

What a great conversation. I love hearing Bill laugh and to hear the wisdom and stories from legendary actors like Henry Winkler & Stephen Root.

[@WildwoodClaire1]

I KNEW season 3 was going to be great as soon as I saw that sight gag involving Cousineau's gun.

[@riparianlife97701]

I'm so happy to still be watching The Fonz after all these years.

[@riohibler1468]

That was so enjoyable; Jenelle Riley, you are a fantastic moderator! Great job.

[@StylistFia127]

Bill is the GOAT!!! He heals depression and anxiety and I LOVE HIM FOR IT!!! ❤

[@jnpilot]

I clicked to hopefully hear Bill in a laughing fit and I got that in the first 3 minutes👏

[@user-gt7vn9lz2m]

Amazing show. Bill Hader came up on another level. Respect.

[@benrosn8154]

Phenomenal

[@karenhartlosangeles]

By far the most entertaining cast interview I have ever seen.

[@kimmirossi46]

This show Barry made my life!!!

[@tanakeilidh384]

Thank you! That was a treat!

[@tentsio]

I love everything about Barry, wonderful series with a wonderful cast. I am struggling with severe depression and Barry is one of the few things that brings me some joy in these difficult times.

[@katiek6393]

This could have been a lot longer. Wonderful interviewer, interviewees and show. More full cast interviews with this group please!

[@carriezilla981]

Root in news radio was my fave

[@JohnnyBeegood1]

Really fun and enjoyable stories. Genuine and wonderful people, all of them. Great interview. :-)

[@trunklemcjeans]

This was awesome. I love this cast and I can't wait to see what they do next with season 4.

[@MaryweatherWA]

this was so much fun !! I love this interviewer and the cast is so so great

[@WARdROBEPlaysWWII]

Thank you for this.

[@ThreeToesofFury]

THANK YOU! After the EPIC conclusion to season 3 this week i was craving extras. This is wonderful!!!!!!!

[@JayBuff19]

Tremendous! Thanks for sharing this with us Non Saggers.

[@sarabadara]

What a crew! So much talent. I admire their work and the energy they possess as a team. I hope each one of them recognizes the power of their work, though I'm sure they do. They are each quite evidently lead by their passion and it shows through in Barry. I feel privileged to be able to watch this candid interview!

[@spidrawebster]

Aw, damn, this ended too early! The actors were really warming up and relaxing into the great interview technique of Jenelle Riley. Please allot more time to these because so much of a press junket is going through bad interviewers. It's a relief to us (and probably to the actors) to have a good interviewer.

[@patrizia1029]

This was fabulous! I have been a fan of the show since day 1 and have been telling everybody about it. I love how all the actors feel like they're allowed to be authentic and have 'genuine interactions with everybody involved. That's such a gift! btw this conversation ended on such a fun note, I'm still laughing! Also, Bill, if you ever need a multilingual actress (who's also very flexible) I'm your girl.

[@scottlynchdc]

This cast is so amazing!!

[@ronaldmccloskey8850]

Wish this interview lasted 3 hours. Such a great group of people.

[@seen921]

Love their support and love for each other. It’s no wonder the show is so well executed

[@Lucalito]

This conversation is everything 🖤

[@deborahthomas3475]

Bill is so easily amused

[@badvegan]

They look like they really like each other and have a great time. That's always wonderful to see, because it's a little disappointing to find out that actors really didn't get along afterward.

[@americanpancakelive]

OH, man this was so entertaining and inspiring.

[@robgreenspan9389]

I love all those people!

[@tree3po]

Henry and Sarah shoulod get awards this season. Unbelievable.

[@denisethomas9897]

THIS IS THE ABSOLUTELY BEST SHOW EVER! My God the scene structure, the emotional range, just unbelievable. I love every episode. Y'all know Henry Winkler was FONZ!!!

[@bthomas822]

Barry is a great show with an amazing cast.

[@mikeytrahant943]

These people are just lovely.

[@troyisfilming]

Henry is the best!!!

[@PhoenixProdLLC]

Oh wow!

[@AvielMannBallo]

Jenelle is great, and this is great

[@htwa]

such an awesome cast. wish we heard more from Anthony Carrigan but still a very enjoyable interview.

[@vivekkumar-iy5ve]

I hope sarah goldberg wins her emmy

[@billlozier5551]

Henry can't remember but then goes on with a story he remembers everything. Just a fun guy.

[@MeekandHumbleOne]

Bill Hader is the most precious human

[@Siptom369]

They are like one big family

[@Coconutyorkie]

Henry charisma is on another level Hader laugh is medice Stephen root is the ducking man Anthony looks like a nice guy And Sarah , we’ll, she has future star written all over her

[@lgerback34]

Stephen Root is one of the great living actors.

[@hareebalsack2334]

How do you continue speaking while Bill Hader is dying laughing. I wouldn't be able to

[@amandao.8043]

I'd love to know which play it was at Arena - they do a lot of American plays and it's a theater in the round. That cast sounds amazing.

[@JayAyers3]

This was wayyy too short!

[@mortyoram8757]

Aww at the end it kinda seems like they're sad bc they wanna keep having the conversation lol

[@BedrockLeadership]

Who’s the guy on the pillow behind Henry?

[@frolickinglions]

Dr Anthony Fauci.

[@SCharlesDennicon]

Without the pandemic, maybe season 3's back half would have been less dramatic, and its finale would have been a little less bleak, and that would have been cool.

[@Kbwintyy]

I know bill hader is a great actor because he can do scenes with no ho Hank and not giggle

[@MrNoongar69]

Was Henry talking about the legendary, Peter Boyle, getting the lamb urine shots?

[@bobbybubby7977]

Sounds like it.

[@robertriteman3227]

no the film with Boyle was Joe . i saw it when i came out and I recall Boyle was nominated for Oscar. My hunch is that Crazy Joe was about the mafioso Joe Gallo

[@carolmonteiro4267]

:)

[@gardenlover9663]

It surprised me to hear Stephen Root say that Fuches loved Barry. I saw him simply as a user and manipulator. I missed that completely.

[@righteousrawb7225]

24:20

[@righteousrawb7225]

33:00

[@Majesticon]

I've watched 2:04 - 3:14 on loop smh

[@-Lantlant-]

My Lord, the Queen is Dead....😭

[@donniemedlin4217]

Lol it would destroy Barry if Bill hader ever used his real laugh but he is great

[@Research0digo]

Carrigan didn't get much time...

[@theviciousocean5132]

Meta press junket
