When Hader did his Lorne Michael's impression, I thought he'd be dropping serial killer names again.

[@mattreed6501]

makes me think of Barney Rubble

Thats my all time favorite of Bills!!

In highschool I did the British accent where speech became impossible for Americans to understand. Out of the 10 or so friends that saw me do it, I had 2 that were the main audience. Lol. Good times.

his LD laugh is good but LD moves his mouth open and closed in a weird rhythmic way as he laughs...Hader is good. He's almost like a latter day Jim Carrey. He could definitely play similar goofy roles.

@@-0rbital- we don’t really struggle with American accents nearly as much as the reverse lol

[@-0rbital-]

@@kJ922-h3j Yeah, the pervasiveness of American media makes it more easily understood, but there’s a lot of regional accents you’ve never heard unless you’ve been to those places that you’d probably puzzle over. The Wire was one tv show that actually used a few characters with strong regional accents and when it aired it was a meme that non-Americans (and some Americans) needed subtitles to watch it.

The Vincent Price Specials on SNL especially the double entendres with Armisen as Liberace and Jon Hamm as JFK are hilarious.

[@VersinKettorix]

In one of them, Christen Wigg does a Katherine Hepburn impression that was hilarious. If I remember correctly, she had a problem with a raccoon in the skit.

[@abelq8008]

I don't like James Franco generally, but Franco as James Dean with Hader's Liberace was chef's kiss.

[@robertkiser8516]

[@robertocaesar]

The most amazing thing of his impressions is not only he imitates so good the characters but he's always inventing the funny context which flows seamlessly from his conversation, which would be funny even without the impression itself.

[@marydonohoe8200]

You’re the first I’ve seen to comment on this, and I’ve thought it so often. You’re right, and Bill is simply a brilliant guy.

[@ComicalRealm]

I don't know which is funnier: Bill Hader's impressions or listening to Conan crack up at them? Bill Hader's impressions are spot-on incredible.

Favorite Hader / Vincent Price: Halloween special. Where John Hamm comes in and absolutely nails drunk James Mason. The two of them were so spot on. It could have been an actual show in the 70's.

[@amyb1078]

Bill once said that sketch was written to be Dean Martin and at the last minute, Lorne said do someone else. So Bill asked Jon Hamm if he could do a James Mason impression instead. All those lines were written to be Dean Martin.

Bill Hader and Stephen Colbert both did James Mason on his show, and they were both better than John Hamm's

You can actually get a pretty good idea of Bill Hader's love for "old timey" entertainment from the movie Pineapple Express. Just go watch the beginning of the movie if anything and you'll get an idea of what I mean.
