SNL's Bill Hader is a Natural - Speakeasy

[@KrisKringlez]

Bill Hader is the funniest man in show business and he doesnt even acknowledge it

[@vanmoody]

He seems like a good dude.

[@Matty80822]

it's probably why the south park dudes love him

[@TheAgentAssassin]

so soft spoken , yet some of his characters are so booming and deep

[@delaneysays]

One of the few interviews out there that actually is a conversation! The host is really good at this!

[@irotinmyskin]

exactly. he doesn't interrupt, he doesn't ask stupid questions, he lets the conversation flow

[@averylogsdon6123]

Paul F Tompkins is a pro

[@keithw453]

Paul F Tompkins is beyond a pro. He is a fucking national treasure

[@SupermachoStan]

yeah and I imagine Bill Hader is easy to talk with

[@LUSCIOUSDUNCAN]

of course! he's been in the business for a long, long time and there's no live audience beyond the cast that they have to worry about entertaining. they get to talk in earnest about something they BOTH care about deeply and have BOTH dealt with for years and years. it makes me want to see more interviews with "[Career Professional] interviews [Career Professional]," be it comedy or otherwise. What would two [whatever profession] people talk about REGARDING said profession if given the opportunity? I NEED THIS MAKE THIS A CHANNEL

[@Aldiggy2000]

Bill doesn't even have to act or try, just talks. Natural talent

[@soumakbasak9848]

bill's face after drinking at 00:28

[@Charlie_Chicago]

You know they're drinking water with a lime right?

[@soumakbasak9848]

+Mark Winiars yeah it's just that bills face looked funny

[@Harloha]

Hahaha, I had to go back and look, totally missed it but glad you said something. That was great, it's like was he expecting alcohol and just got water and lemon or vise versa. Lol.

[@Kostadin_Arolski]

I was so happy i knew the presentor from the Tenacious D movie, i tottaly missed that 😂

[@alanhersch4617]

My god the interviewer is so good. Watched a dozen of these now and every single time, he is CLEARLY deeply engaged, he asks relevant questions, and he cuts HIMSELF off to let the other person talk every single time. Props all around.

[@anniej844]

He’s actually an actor too. (Although I can’t remember what his name is oops) but he plays Mr Peanutbutter on Bojack Horseman

[@AgentPothead]

@@anniej844 It's Paul F Tompkins. He's amazing in everything.

[@lundylow]

Right off the bat, Bill lurches with his first sip. I don't think he was expecting what was in his glass to taste like what it tasted like.

[@AlbieStarr]

Does anyone else find Bill insanely attractive?

[@marysilvergirl]

yes! makes me crazy.

[@susanal.moscoso911]

AlbieStarr his hot

[@tpbarbie]

Yessssssssss

[@rosebelle3148]

I counter... does anyone else find PFT insanely attractive?

[@spoonface9698]

AlbieStarr ✋🏽✋🏽✋🏽

[@Mia7189]

And now, he's Emmy - winning, Best Actor in Comedy Bill Hader. BARRY is so amazing.

[@dbonn]

There's nothing better than a humble man who also happens to be absurdly good at what he does. Amen, Bill. Amen. And I'll leave my scolding of Paul for another comment.... that guy. Also great. Ok byeeee.

[@CrescentNicMoon]

Bill Hader is so adorable!

[@z9elka]

Nicole Luna he's a cutie

[@jtburton4624]

One of the best SNL cast members of all time. For being a nervous wreck for the first four seasons you couldnt tell

[@TheCarameldance]

7:44 he's doing that door banging like it's nothing i mean not breaking news but he's so good

[@r.p.lowery4793]

Terrific interview. Paul F. Tompkins is a wonderful interviewer. He really allows the guest to remain the focus. Well done!

[@Lorieellesh]

I've never seen this guy - Paul F. Tompkins - before, or even heard of him; but I thought the same thing. He seems like a very nice guy, and does allow his guest to be the focus of the conversation; so unlike the Conan O'Brien or Craig Ferguson types, who push so constantly for laughs that it makes you weary . TV needs more guys like this host. It's refreshing to see an interviewer act like a gentleman, with a little class, intelligence, and good breeding for a change.

[@jchesney]

Also, Ferguson was actually a genius at getting his guests to loosen up and reveal more of themselves than they would with someone who really stuck to their scripted interview. He was high energy, but you can tell that most of the guests actually would get super relaxed on his show.

[@jchesney]

But I agree that Paul Tompkins is also a great interviewer.

[@addiforras]

Wow! What a great story about how he got into SNL and how he struggles with nerves. I've heard Kristen Wiig gets really nervous when performing as well. There's just something about Bill Hader.. I just love 'im!

[@acbennett7]

Love Bill Hader. He is just perfect.

[@ellej.winsett3701]

i'm baffled that his explanation of how he got into performing is literally the plot of Barry.

[@anitarussum4590]

Elle J. Winsett ...write what you know.

[@ellystripes]

Why baffled? His own experiences obviously inspired him as a writer.

[@JeremyReedMusic13]

Paul you are a great interviewer. You're thoughtful and smart. And Bill is genuine and hilarious.

[@jenmoran7281]

I didn't think it was possible, but I love Bill Hader even more after this.

[@harley7836]

0:30 Bill’s face as he takes a sip!?! 😂😂😂😂

[@JadeIsaBoss]

I think Paul is the most charismatic person on the face of the earth, while i'm sitting here and i get anxiety just ordering my own food.

[@ToGetToTerrapin]

+Jade Lim put down the bong son

[@HamIam1278]

+Jade Lim Really, Put down the bong. Stop smoking weed, it will change you for the better. I know from experience

[@HamIam1278]

For me, weed made me content with mediocrity. My first year of college I was getting blazed 5+ days a week, not meeting any new people, not getting laid or even talking to girls for that matter. I was also getting poor grades. I was depressed and I thought weed was making it better, but then when I stopped smoking I realized that weed was making it worse. It's different for everyone though, just do what feels right for you.

[@ToGetToTerrapin]

good herb can enhance a variety of experiences, but getting high for the sake of escape can be a slippery slope. But this world is already in big, big trouble (and few see it) so burn, just as long as you continue to learn.

[@JadeIsaBoss]

+Jade Lim I don't smoke weed

[@pharheen1]

I nearly cry every time I watch Bill Hader's last SNL episode as a cast member.

[@wallyscreenshots]

I know the experience described at 2:23 aalll too well. The more niche something is, the more it seems to define you. And at the same time the more niche something is, the less likely it is that people will enjoy it. You find niches because you want to, and you're actively seeking it out, and so it ends up meaning a lot more to you and a lot less to other people.

[@JasonWindsor88]

He's so damn grounded. As well as insanely hilarious.

[@ufotofu9]

He's the second SNL cast member to be nominated for an Emmy. Eddie Murphy was the first.

[@mcal1987]

Geoffrey Zoref He's the First to be nominated twice.

[@octiopi]

now Kate McKinnon!

[@seamesogrady8573]

Actually, Chevy Chase was the first and Gilda Radner was the first to win an Emmy.

[@iMarzie]

Yeah no there’s been numerous SNL cast members to be nominated for emmys

[@arvinbuenaagua5161]

They meant in their batch

[@damonovna]

And now he has tons of Emmy nominations and 2 wins for leading role ❤️ 10:50

[@steveyj75]

I'm so impressed with both the interviewer and the interviewee in this video. Great job Mr. Tompkins!

[@klorglork6917]

I respect Bill's honesty.

[@jamisia13]

Kinda wish he was still on SNL. He said in another interview he didn't really want to leave SNL necessarily he and his wife wanted a backyard and a sorta more suburban life for his kids or whatever. I just hope he continues to be successful!

[@nicolep.9212]

Sad that they're divorced now

[@mariannecontrino6297]

Six years later, and he's more successful than ever. If you haven't watched "Barry", do so!! One of the best shows on television.

[@iMarzie]

@@mariannecontrino6297 yeah I still miss him on SNL tho. He’s by far my favorite cast member of all time. That era of SNL was also beyond stacked with talent.

[@kabztunes]

Always good to see Phil Hartman get a mention. Underrated.

[@DJB1017]

Kabz I think about Phil several times a year. Miss that guy.

[@steveconn]

Hardly underrated. Generally viewed as the top player in SNL history.

[@cait72590]

Awww I want to give him a hug when he said he used to be scared and have panic attacks. He's an amazing underrated talent and I hope that now he has confidence in himself. =)

[@christoth5621]

I miss this little interview show so much! I just rewatched a few of them recently, and the chemistry that Paul F. Tompkins has with his guests is so good. Wish they’d bring it back!

[@redc4899]

wow i never knew he was so nervous in snl it doesn't really show he was so great in everything especially as stefon! lol

[@7estrelle]

I like Bill Hader. That's all. Just needed to be said.

[@magnusfischer3073]

Nice to see that there's another Hader-lover (lol) in P-town!

[@phrophannus]

Never going to forget him dancing to Don't Trust the Police dressed as an officer on Superbad.

[@Research0digo]

Officer Slater!

[@JanetCaterina]

I was really surprised to hear him say how terrifying he found the live improv - it really helps to know that someone feels this way, not just me

[@amorymorton]

I have to say, the photography decisions in these videos are really great. The bokeh, the gentle camera movement. Really nice!

[@unamancuspia9213]

Bill Hader is lovely

[@jtomczak100]

tompkins should be the only person permitted to do interviews in all forms of media, he's perfect

[@DJB1017]

jed Tomczat imagine if him and Sean Evans had a baby...

[@beverlyputnam272]

Bill is the cutest when he wears glasses

[@PayJ1017]

I really hope Bill goes on to do big things. I feel like some of the greatest SNL alums aren't seen much anymore, but I have faith in Bill!

[@jonnnnniej]

You were right to hope!

[@rachelw1076]

Case and point: Barry

[@arvinbuenaagua5161]

Hello from the future. You got what you wanted.

[@SaffronGrey]

wow. such an insightful interview. maybe I'll start watching this guy.

[@jdmacdad5418]

Loved this video! I am glad to see Bill's response to stage fright. I love his movies and SNL skits. He is absolutely hilarious!

[@ImJakeSrsly]

This is inspiring.

[@FrshChees91]

So true about being funniest in the lunch room. Haha.

[@MushiePuppet17]

FrshChees91 It's wonderful because I think most people can totally relate with that.

[@enviycarim1000]

Bill Hader should be in more... things!

[@rickyjoebobby1]

terrific interview. You invoked a lot of revealing ideas and it was very honest. I am now totally into Bill Hader.

[@debkahora]

Thank you for doing this interview. You did a great job being both laid back yet totally engaged with Bill Hader, and Bill Hader is a dream come true, in terms of his naturalness and humor. You should be interviewing people on prime time television.

[@john94949]

It's encouraging to hear him recount his experiences breaking into the showbiz industry. I consider myself to be a hopeful...behind the camera as a writer, though. I'm not confident as self-assured as Bill Hader is. I admire the courage it takes to show yourself on national tv and the just the big screen in general

[@Kaervek87]

I think Paul is my favourite interviewer.

[@frightenedsoul]

My favorite part about these interviews is that Paul has to tell every guest not to look into his camera.

[@secretlifeofa1926]

He is so.... loveable

[@supadorf24]

Wow, this is a fantastic show. No stupid questions, interviewer doesn't try to steal the spotlight and acts natural, classy setting. Awesome.

[@MyFlightTV1]

I became a fan after Bill and Kristen Wiig did that skit where Al Pacino checks his bank balance over the phone with Wells Fargo. He was GREAT! And even more so when he and Amy Poehler did that "I Drink Your Milkshake" skit based on the movie "There Will Be Blood." You're so awesome Bill!!!

[@johnnypaycheck7810]

I love that when Hader mentions "Hollywood" and his Emmy nominations, he does the same impersonation that he did at James Francos roast.

[@csvscs]

No one was LOLing that day in GRENADA...

His 'New Yorker' at 13:00 is great

Bill Hader and Jemaine Clement could be brothers separated at birth

[@Nonameforyoudangit]

And good gravy aren't they both adorable.

[@kevinw712]

I literally just left this same statement on another thread above that's talking about his looks lol And I've only fully realized it the last few days from randomly watching some old interviews like this.

Rainn Wilson too

Frick, Netflix... give Paul F. Tompkins a talk show. If it is THIS, I would watch it hard.

[@abcdefgold]

god, he *really* looked like Rainn Wilson at the beginning! I actually thought it was going to be an impersonation lol

[@rickalicious1116]

I just now noticed how underrated an actor Bill Hader is after seeing Barry.

[@bentolleson2585]

Bill Hader is a very humble & good soul

[@123cgull]

Please keep making these guys they are excellent. I honestly look forward to them

[@mustangsilver16]

Bill Hader reminds me of Michael Shannon. The sound almost identical. If they do a Man of Steel spoof movie, he should play General Zod.

[@roundchaos]

they sound nothing alike

[@PoopleBloop]

Bill Hader is one of my favourite comedians. Yay! So glad that this video is a thing! Woo!

Bill's first sip of anything 0:26

[@Research0digo]

#BillHader was nominated twice, as Eddie Murphy was. He also won an Emmy for writing for South Park, and he has a Peabody, he won an Emmy for South Park in 2009! :D @0:28 - that awful reaction tells me it's seltzer (soda). 10:26 It's a foreshadowing of The President of Hollywood! (roast of James Franco) @12:42 I know he never correlated Anthony Peter Colman in a puppet class with Barry - but omgosh, what a coincidence! 16:40 - Bill is the one who came up with the Fish Sticks idea - and Democracy Now!!
