Bill Hader on the Last-Minute Jokes John Mulaney Wrote for Stefon (2013)

[@thulgrimcazicson399]

Bill Hader has to be one the best talents SNL has ever had.

[@davidmsirois]

Carvey might be his only match... Carvey and Hader are the GOATS!

[@zachansen8293]

Recency bias much?

[@treasonabledoubt7251]

Say "recency bias much" much?

[@penguinista]

The fact that it is honest and they are actually trying as hard as they can to keep from breaking makes it a wonderful way to break the fourth wall and give the audience a sense of being included in the joke. If someone tried to manufacture that energy, it would be appalling.

[@Michael-dy7zp]

Well said.

[@gillianomotoso328]

Fallon is quaking 😤

[@qvoraza6076]

Bill Hader is the reason I started watching SNL.

[@cheesenjunk4333]

Oh, really? He's the reason I stopped (when he left, I stopped because he left.)

[@billheuber5884]

I truly love Bill Hader, but I started watching SNL because of a different Bill!!

[@Airplane_Willy]

I would 100% agree with Lorne. I thought it was so fucking hilarious every time Bill would crack himself up or someone else did it to him. It really made the show just that much better. Bill is soooo fucking funny.

[@Kmichaelcook87]

Lorne’s instincts are incredible.

[@MindlessTurtle]

Bill's small little giggle when Fred asks if the play was over was perfect. Honestly, I thought that was part of the skit because it was so ridiculous that a normal person would have to laugh in that situation.

[@river3163]

I wish he didn't beat himself up so much bc his breaking is the best part of every sketch.❤

[@johnnichols3184]

Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis were my two favorite actors from this era. I miss that time of SNL

[@bettysmith4641]

I love Bill's laugh ❤️😂

[@ambivalentone]

Aside from Fallon I find when the cast breaks I makes it funnier almost always. Or when the cast gets someone to break and keeps at it

[@jasminkhangura3832]

Honestly after those sketches no other skit can compare. Miss Bill on SNL

[@hotfudgecake]

bill haders smile gives me life

[@BrianKellison]

These little deep dives into the process are very welcomed.

[@Majestia27]

We're lucky to have someone like Howard who is obsessed with all things SNL to break it down for us.

[@generalsandnapoleon]

Bill Hader is amazing. Good interview, Howard!

[@spiritualskywarrior2753]

Breaking character is what makes it so funny cause yes it is genuine and that’s funnier then actual script usually! Love it love you bill your amazing stay humble my friend break character anytime cause you make it look great! 🥰🥰🥰🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏼💯😘

[@lisaa7011]

Bill is the reason I watch any of the clips. And the crew breaking best stuff ever.💖

[@zachansen8293]

stefon laughing really helped define that character. I wouldn't have wanted it to be done all straight.

[@db9692]

When they break, it's the most hilarious part of the show, because you can see how much fun they're having. I don't think the audience minds at all.

[@philliptoole6439]

I think one of the best parts of SNL is when they crack themselves up.

[@Natasha-yb4fb]

Bill Hader cured my depression

[@JustSwivel2]

Barry is phenomenal. Bill is a real talent.

[@elchuyito355]

Bill Hader is the reason I went into comedy. Overall the best member at SNL.

[@mastersplinter7833]

Barry season 3 is finally here!

[@destinfrazier3983]

Idk wats funnier watching him break as stephan or watching try and recover lol

[@spiritualempress6691]

Love short term memory theater! They were so good!

[@Do-U-SmellThat]

I think every time Bill brakes is the greatest thing ever❤❤❤

[@laffo1980]

The stephon episode where all 3 ,New York’s hottest clubs, have an appearance by Dan Cortez had bill hader and me in hysterics

[@barrettpickett5603]

My favorite part is when they mess up. If it is over rehearsed it is not as great. I see why Stefan broke character.

[@worthigirl2946]

I wish Stefon could have met Dieter from "Shprockets."

[@Mrs_Christa]

Oh my gosh!!!!!! This would be amazing!!

[@bakenumber4]

Love you,Howard & Robin

[@eric81872]

Thank you for the video! 🤩👍❤

[@elusivelectron]

This makes a lot of sense now.

[@freedomfromreligion1701]

Greatest sketches of the time.

[@debbiezatterberg5481]

Love him❤.

[@leahsundvall5894]

That’s what makes SNL so great to watch; the anticipation of one of them breaking!

[@user82938]

His Stefon laughs always seemed intentional. It's weird that he says he would get mad at himself for it.

[@ellie-tk4jy]

I always worry when they replay old clips that the person has just died.

[@nazfrde]

You do run the risk of it being, as Howard said, "too inside." Even all these years later I have a hard time watching those Carol Burnett Show clips where they're all cracking up. Everybody thought it was funny, but even as a kid I thought it was unprofessional.

[@YoStabbaStabba]

Honestly - the only time SNL is funny IS when they break.

[@schnarfschnarf5886]

Hader wrote for South Park for a couple years too

[@christophermartin972]

I think he still contributes from time to time now

[@justinmraap]

I like to put fishsticks in my mouth

[@NitXav]

In fact, he came up with the fish sticks joke!

[@jms-wo7dm]

I did not know that

[@joeymurillo5322]

The Stephon character could've been a better zoolander movie

[@cobryan303]

Yay! A 2013 clip!!!

[@Randsurfer]

That can't be the cardinal rule of SNL. Half of all skits involving breaking character.

[@gregdahlen4375]

glad cuz I thought he'd laugh even though he had already heard the jokes many times

[@Research0digo]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX2plWqPjdOIiK8 #BillHader had #FredArmisen Melissa Villasenor and Vanessa Bayer on Barry, and in season 4 you can clearly hear Bill Burr's voice on the car radio!

[@donnywilliamson5807]

Is Sidney Applebaum an inside joke for people in NYC. This is the one I didn't get when it aired.

[@SorendeSelbyBowen]

!!! I'm from Seattle. That joke was hilarious.

[@donnywilliamson5807]

@@SorendeSelbyBowen then can you please explain it

[@driverjayne]

I guess not

[@simpleagain1]

Cue card says what??? Sinney Apple Baulm

[@samanthamaynard4447]

Sidney Applebaum

[@GIBKEL]

How was Phil Hartman made for this medium?

[@happyninja42]

Hell the ONLY time SNL is funny is when the cast/guests are breaking. There's a reason the YT compilation vidoes of "X person breaking character SNL" are the most popular.

[@celeste5508]

Howard. You couldn't be more wrong, when you say Johnny Depp isn't the victim. Johnny's career should be rightfully returned to him!

[@trolltroll4697]

Imaging ignoring the fact this woman sliced the man's finger off to complain about his accent😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 somebody's begging for attention and it ain't johhny.

[@R__K]

The Halloween bit referenced by Hader... kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXOmhq1misyXsMU

[@Shorts88898]

Hmmm

[@joeshmooo5327]

So Lame howard covering his face from the camera

[@spok9180]

I don’t get it

[@mgdubya27]

I don't get it.

[@apseudonym]

do you need clarification?

[@jms-wo7dm]

I think you’re talking about the joke? I don’t get it either lol

[@riobrasilsambashowssambist1453]

Wtf is sidney applebaum

[@bobwoods1302]

Breaking character has totally ruined SNL.

[@P5clach]

From algera i love u bill hader big respect to you man 🤍 ( i be glad to work with u or john) 💪
