KPCS: Bill Hader

[@SeventyOneGo]

I love the fact that in every of his interviews, Hader never miss to mention the writers or the people that help him. That is a sign of a very respectfull human being. And he is extremelly funny too.

[@lithan6654]

I've heard bill hader say the same things over and over but I still laugh :)

[@Conduit.1144]

I cry

[@richsackett3423]

You have to be funny to do that.

[@MKSouthernStar]

Bill Hader bought me to this podcast and I'm so glad.

[@ShMeatWad]

Where did he mention this? I’m on a Bill Hader interview binge 😂

[@beeperlove]

Bill is so positive. He talks everyone up even when it’d be easy not to. Seems like he learned from everyone around him. So cool to listen to

[@SeanAllocca]

This is two and a half hours of non stop funny. I miss the KPCS and hope it returns one day in the future.

[@jensenbell]

Hader is truly funny. Non-stop. This was amazing.

[@NondescriptMammal]

Very smart and articulate as well... funny that he got such bad grades in school, an example of how useless school can be in evaluating people.

[@bluewater3783]

@@NondescriptMammal I don't find him funny, but I think that most K-12 education is absolutely Pathetic. I Hated high school, but eventually went on to earn a PhD. Most of my K-12 education was a huge waste of time... except for being able to study French--but even that was somewhat pathetic because there was an asshole student in at least one of my years that my poor teacher had to put up with: she should have had the power to simply de-enroll him from the class as a Trouble-Maker, but instead we all had to waste our time on his disruptions...

[@moeskido]

Hader has a great laugh. Can't get enough of it.

[@seanbiller1241]

I can listen to bill talk about snl for hours

[@leob4403]

Yeah and you just did with this video!

[@jasminesaldana7796]

i fell asleep during a john mulaney video and woke up 11 minutes in to this, and let me say, i am not disappointed. bill hader is so great!!

[@Dominion-1]

The funniest guest Kevin has ever had. Spot on impersonations, great hollywood stories. Bill Hader is definitely on my radar to watch. "Show me your leadership capabilities."...Funny, Funny, Funny.

[@Sunny99926]

That whole interview was just the best thing ever. I fucking love Bill.

[@SalMiniYo]

I want to see the Casey Kasem sketch SOO bad! It sounds hysterical! Maybe if they release an SNL Best of Bill, they will include it in the extras. Bill Hader is so talented and I'm so happy that he is finally getting the success he deserves.

[@thecrackaddict4640]

They talk so much about it, they perhaps will Do it :)

[@quad5186]

Was thinking that as well ! Did you see Carvey’s CK sings the Beatles ? Try to find it - pretty funny.

[@williammurphy7278]

Sallie Neblet that’s what keeps me coming back to this video

[@emjayay]

Maybe the SNL actor/writers knew who Kasey Kasem was because they were all show biz and TV freaks from an early age, same with the crew plus some are older, and the audience is all young people with no knowledge of who he was.

[@EverydayNYC]

@@emjayay what??!! I'm only 40 and I'm very aware of who Kasy Kasem is. He's very very much a part of Gen Xs on into the first few Gen Y's/Millenials peripheral perception... Have you ever been to a taping of Saturday Night Live? I have and I can clearly tell you it isn't comprised of fans of The Hunger Games. It really is a pretty wide cross section demographically speaking but it's average age is late 30s early 40s. And that's also the primary demographic of home audiences,. Which is a big reason why it's latest reincarnation has been so successful mining political parody the past few seasons. At this point in it's history SNL is catering to the very audience that grew up with it and have never known a time when it didn't exist. That audience can appreciate the fun takes of massive well known pop stars and young Hollywood like Kayne and Bieber . But they unlike their children are far more aware and invested in their knowledge about a different kind of celebrity.. politicians. So you can see by the type of sketches they are majorly doing regarding politics that their target audience ins middle aged gen xers and maturing millennials. Younger people aren't staying home on Saturday nights just to peep SNL. Unless it happens to be in a social house party and it's on or they are having a random quiet sat night at home... I'm not sure what you have based your conclusion on but it's fairly inaccurrate

[@sethlarson9433]

I can’t believe I’m finding this for the first time and it’s been here 8yrs. Holy moly.

[@chesterkent9693]

I keep watching this over and over. Let's hear more. A great storyteller.

It’s crazy how they were like “John Mulaney, holy crap he’s good” 4 years ago. Now it’s like...holy crap he’s good

[@CLuvTV]

"save your sassy asides for your windowless bars"

[@bluewater3783]

That's supposed to be funny?!? I remember laughing at some of the stuff that the original? (Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray...) cast did, but then checking back every now and then through the years, only to ask myself: "Who the hell finds these people even vaguely funny???"

[@puremercury]

@@bluewater3783 Bill Murray joined in the middle of Season 2.

[@bluewater3783]

@@puremercury Thank you! 🙂

[@seanbiller1241]

I don’t get this joke….can someone reply and explain ?

[@puremercury]

@@seanbiller1241 It was a gay joke. He was telling him to leave his attitude for the gay bars he obviously visited. In the old days, gays would have to be discreet, if not completely secret, so their meeting places usually were nondescript and hidden from the street.

[@AdamThorton]

Have y'all noticed that when he laughs during/after an impression, the laugh is in character?

[@dddebolt]

Bill Hader is amazing. Definitely belongs in company with some of the comedy greats.

[@Research0digo]

@HeckSusD23 Check out what the great Bill Murray had to say about our Bill, to Howard Stern.

[@ericramos3416]

I'm getting a flood of memories from this interview, at this moment. I love this show....

[@Riku16994]

This is such a nice conversation between intelligent people, I've seen this 10 times already

[@WomenThrowinLeather]

Kevin Pollak is such a great interviewer. His style is so natural and conversational ya forget he's interviewing the other person

[@leob4403]

Better than Conan let's be honest

[@cbstevp]

As I am watching this I have to go find all the SNL sketches they mention and have a good laugh.

[@paintmusic123]

omg the way he is DESPARATE to leave at the end of this is so relatable

[@johnkase6285]

I got tears in my eyes from laughing so f'n hard, bless you Bill and Kevin !!

[@spicyapplejuice9099]

It's so good to see how far Bill has gotten since Snl

[@wfrazerjr]

Bill Hader is giving Kevin a run for "Celebrity I'd Most Like To Have Lunch With." This is one of my favourite interviews in the whole run.

[@WrimsAirsoft]

Whenever I fall asleep with youtube on autoplay it sooner or later redirects me here. Bill Hader's face is the first thing I see when I wake up.

[@picadillywhore]

[@MoMukh]

This was really, really great. One of my all time faves on KPCS.

[@joemalone7386]

Kevin is like Johnny carson, he makes the guests funnier... his podcasts are so smooth...❤

[@johnbazy]

"No it's not, because you just said midget" Now that's a good comeback.

[@AzraelSilent]

Everything about this interview and exchange is captivating. Flag it because I think this may be the first time the internet offered up 2 and 1/2 hours of guilt free hypnosis.

[@TheSkapaw66]

Finding this seven years after. It’s so good.

[@MrQbrik]

Such a gifted talent. You could see that Kevin genuinely enjoyed his time with Hader.

[@rio197]

Bill Hader's a great performer and his interviews I find insightful. Good show, KPCS!

[@scottbrydle8758]

Love that format. "So we'll have just like a table and uncomfortable chairs from some shitty small business break room in front of a black curtain, and 2 kids off to the side planning the Hillel freshman mixer."

[@jordanspringstroh8302]

Hey Chat Show 👋 Your show is incredible. Thank you for making such quality podcasts with such quality guests. I listen to this Bill Hadar episode and the Larry David episode AT LEAST once a month.. Hanging out with you guys is a great way to pass the time!

[@leob4403]

Wait why do you listen to the same interview over and over, whats the point of that, dont you have it remembered by now?

Same here.

[@krock90]

same here!

[@GeekFurious]

I think it is safe to say, after a few hundred interviews... that this was the most enjoyable one you've done to date.

[@lostviewer]

I absolutely loved the Fart Face sketch. I've always been surprised it's not one of the more talked-about sketches of recent history, it's so damn classic. I literally clapped alone in my apartment at the mention of it. I would have loved seeing the Kacey/Jacey Kasem sketch, maybe they'll do it on Second Chance Theater on Late Night.

[@chrispalmerdemo]

This was so enjoyable to experience! I could watch these two go back and forth all day. Love you both!

[@marikotrue3488]

Love the format of this show. Two hour+ allows for an open and interesting interview. Enjoyed the twitter game (even though I "lost") and the randomness of the Larry King Game! Bill Hader was a great guest. Thanks KPCS.

[@leob4403]

Here's the thing though, few talk show hosts can pull off a 2+ hour interview, Conan would struggle greatly for example

[@krock90]

This episode along with the Tom Hanks and John Landis ones are my all time favorite KPCS episodes!

[@josephfedor1584]

Saw the Tom hanks interview what an educational experience and the two hours flew now I’m finding about Hader’speanut allergy hilarious and scary story comic fodder and movie magic!!

EVERYTHING Hader does and says and - I'm assuming - thinks, is hilarious!:)

[@PisceanAge]

Fantastic interview, one of the funniest.

[@ziegfeldgirl]

The best thing about Bull Hader is his love of trash crime shows. Yes.

[@braeves2620]

This is the best KPCS episode hands down. Bill Hader is the funniest man alive and that is not an opinion, that is fact my friends. And don't mess with Sam.. come on, come on.

[@krock90]

There are three people you need to get back on the show: Tom Hanks, John Landis and Bill Hader! I can listen to those three endlessly!

“There’s a guy who does Bruce Dern well.” 😂😂😂

[@OthelloBoulevard]

The King Game is great when the guest goes wide like that. Also, great to see that Bill's midwest friendliness is not an act.

[@tinastebbins2385]

I could just listen to Bill Hader, doing "one man show" versions of funny moments (from his life/career) - especially when he's doing Seth Rogan - nonstop...indefinitely.

[@ogami1972]

21:12 What's truly amazing is watching this line kill, as it should, it's f'ing hilarious, but then go watch the sketch, and the line just bombs. Audiences suck, amirite? 27:15 Hader humbles himself, Pollak lifts him up. What a couple of classy guys.

[@effacalorie]

I honestly think that "sassy asides" line bombed because it sounds like he said "save your sassiest sides" and by the time you realize what the line was, it's too late.

[@introjeff]

Is it just me or is the funniest moment in this is in the beginning when Jaime is talking about Disney and Sam looks like he is just trying to maintain some feigned interest while making bewildered expressions?

[@michaelbreidenbach2834]

I watch this episode for the 14th time now and it's still funny as shit!

That's the definition of contagious laugh. Don't be a hater of Bill Hader. LOL

[@BillyBalldotcom]

I listen to the KPCS as I walk around Brookline, MA in search of something interesting (no luck so far). I may have looked crazier than usual as I was laughing out loud (is there an abbreviation for that?) listening to Kevin and Bill Hader exchange stories and spot-on imitations. My only complaint was that it was half as long as it should have been. It should be at least as long as a Cubs/Giants rain delay.

[@TV-mp3rw]

Very good.. as candid as bill burr's and funny as Larry Davids... the 4th fav is Tom Hanks so ty to all. Hope you are still doing these especially with Top tier guests

[@cannae216]

That Kasey Kasem bit sounds hilarious! 24:00

[@kevinw712]

I worked as a PA on a Japanese beer commercial shot on the WB lot that was starring Schwarzeneger back in around the year 2000. It was a 5 day shoot, and I think Arnold worked about a cumulative 8 hours on it (that's including a portion that was just a photoshoot inside a soundstage). If that camera wasn't literally close up on his face, it was his stunt double doing the work (who was, if I remember right, a German guy named Dieter, he was actually really cool and nice). But yea Arnold had 3 massive trailers all parked in a row: one was his "living quarters", one was just a kitchen, and one was just a workout/gym area, and we were explicitly told as the lowly production workers we were never supposed to walk in between them. I know this so well because I got in trouble violating it once lol.. I was in such a rush to find and say something to the production manager (HE was allowed between them), I'd forgotten and I get like 20 feet into the "no walk-zone", he sees me and starts freaking out, waving his arms telling me to go around.

[@mrhatman707]

Just watched the Fart Face sketch and I gotta say, it was pretty funny.

[@gibberconfirm166]

It's interesting Bill Hader never did impressions before SNL. He's not quite as genetically freakish as Jimmy Fallon or Eddie Murphy, he kind of brings a Phil Hartman energy to his impression work.

[@robertacevedo5601]

gibberconfirm He did do impressions before snl. The Al Pacino bit he used in his audition was some he did at open mics. His whole family did impressions according to him.

[@trulygreg7724]

​@@robertacevedo5601 I think he said he learned Al Pacino for his audition. However, I also heard him saying that when Megan Mullaly first saw him, he did the James Mason at a donut shop with an expired gift certificate bit. And yes, his family does voices and he used to do impressions of his friends and family, but he never really did any impression of famous people

[@zekelucente9702]

I remember when Club 33 was super exclusive and most people never knew it existed.

[@MarketResearchReading114]

I grew up on the comedy boom and really enjoyed that bubble while it lasted. Enjoyed SNL during a good period of that, and afterwards (personally.) it receded a bit, but Hader has always been a favorite. Nice to get to see him out of character, and kinda where he's at.
