comedian famous for hilarious impersonations on saturday night live he recently left the show after eight seasons he stars in the to do list in theaters now we praising his role as the voice of flint lockwood in the animated feature cloudy with a chance of meatballs two that's in theaters september twenty seventh he's bill hey there heidi bill hi this is a big honor and a timeline on a tell me first about this this the two mobile things you're everywhere and they're how did this happen for you i i got a phone call saying you know do you want to get you know you get offered commercials and stuff and you kind of go i don't know you know i first got us now i was like i don't know if i really want to do that or you know whatever and then this thing happens when the doctor hands you your first baby and you look at the child and you go i will do whatever i will do all day every what do you want me to answer you know and then a they said john d. t. mobile commercials and i said absolutely i like the mobile and then they were

actually really funny these guys these guys from canada. adam and dave they wrote them and they were really really good and you shudder more than one day it's what we basically shot and one day around the l.a. times building and silver lake it was like enters thirteenth spots and they're running everywhere apparently yes probably the most exposure you've ever got it really. yeah most people know and most people yell out the mobile to me now as i said oh how did you discover stefan. well it came from two different places one was john maloney who co-created that with me he's a great stand up and used to write it as an owl and he really deserves a lot of credit for stefan because so much of the. disc you know the word play and that is him and he got an e-mail from a guy saying hey you should come to this club this club has everything like rooms

full of broken glass balls new york's hottest club is to share whatever it was called and so he would read out this e-mail to us as a joke and then i separately. go to this coffee shop and chelsea every morning and there was a barista there who kind of talk like that you miss that guy or you and he was always telling me that his life and he he said i live on the lower lower east side . i get it i'm with you him so i'm doing him so i was doing that around the office john maloney was reading the email and then john had the smarts to say let's combine those did anyone think that gays would be offended i know i said is a sin line yeah i know one no one was really. no one was really offended that i know of the nice thing that i heard actually i've had

a couple of gay men stop me on the street and say how much they liked it and that the joke wasn't that he was gay as a sara lee a lot of times you play you know a joke is that he's gay the joke is really bad i think he's on a lot of drugs. and what do you say may not be real and that he's bad it is a job you like wouldn't you like oh yeah you know without a doubt yeah and i do kind of to get it because i'm a naturally very nervous person especially doing the live show you get very kind of amped up and and so that character's easy to kind of you were hers it. yes i am someone who walks around constantly read my lines really is constantly walking around is running it and running it and i have a crack up the other people around oh yeah yeah when i first did stefan you see the cue card guy like this and the other side was andy samberg and john just like

laughing and pointing at me especially when he changes stuff on the cards to. make me laugh why did you leave why did i leave well. it was a very pragmatic thing actually my wife and i. she is a filmmaker and she was constantly going out to l.a. and i was consciously going out to l.a. and we had two kids and so it just became kind of a thing of. maybe now's the time. to go do is do this film do it and i did that to do list that's my wife's movie and so she we were always coming out to los angeles and. i you know we had a very very short discussion about anyone sleeping in l.a. but me still trying to do saturday night live and it was just like becks and bush years have it's an impossible i don't i can't even move to brooklyn. to saturday night live like i have to basically live right by thirty rock or so lot of your and your constant getting pulled in you know and at all hours is

a very unpredictable schedule you don't have to be on every show do you can't you do appearances can step on comebacks sometimes possibly yes he will i think you possibly will isn't he possible is a character beyond. well stefan sitcom sic i don't know that would be always talked about movie stuff and sitcom would actually be pretty. like. he had do it multi-cam around it's yeah and he is like a normal neighbor and friend what kind of occupation does you know what's going to be so whatever it is he's bad at we did have an idea of for a move we were trying to get an idea we talked a little bit about an idea for a movie and then we were like i don't think it will work but we did have one funny scene it was making john i laugh which was stefan coming out to his family and his parents were like blue collar people from the bronx and he's like mom dad you're probably wondering why i haven't got married yet. you just haven't met the right

girl that's all. i was having we did a show once with the cast of saturday night live on the set and they all would talk about there were additions you know was there always was like. i had a weird thing where they came in saw they saw me in there in l.a. made them all allie recommending me megan miley so she's amazing and then here she changed my life she really did change my life i was just doing a show. her brother in law was in a show with me she came to see him and. she was like you're funny and and apropos of nothing i didn't know we're nothing she called lauren and said you should come and see this guy and it was angeles and he came and saw you and that's a good now you came and saw me and then i came to new york did a show in new york and then i did my actual audition which was terrifying then you have a crack up too if you ever watch the show yeah but laughing all the. you lose it

completely look yeah constantly fred armisen does has my number fred armisen hello yet constantly when we do the californians. he constantly why i'll never say a line with the same inflections so on an air you know he's going hey what are you julian why you wait a minute late just as a saying that he knows i have a very soft to you to do in person and people know i'm presuming that i'm lee members when you actually you know what my wife point out to my family when we talk now whenever we do all the voices of the people in the stories so the family everyone in my family my sisters my mom my mom my dad sorrow when they when they you know would be they would be like i saw george at the supermarket they're like some of those who market and i saw george you know he was there from oklahoma everyone you do and in person i just he was just with his eliot spitzer. how did

you get to do him how does he even have doing you know i remember when that scandal broke i walked into the office and everyone was like oh guess who's going to get to do is first called open. and it was jim downey was my first ever saying live from new york it was so how do you find someone like spitzer you watch him i just want it that i watch that and just try to get is the voice and i'm either i get it immediately or i don't have it at all like i kind of i can work on a little bit finesse it a little bit but usually it's like immediately i can get it. i've interviewed some of the great in person is over the years and some of them told me it's not so much the voice as the characteristics of the yeah it is and i it's good to watch them being interviewed instead of then actors big mission yeah but you know one came from him to give an exit any acceptance speech and he was just kind of being i was no jimmy. oh thank you so much for you just

very like there's a very light all right. and you know. we i think i did thing about him my first thing was the as like it was anderson cooper my first line i think ever and as an els anderson cooper was doing a thing about hurricane katrina. he said i was out but you know helping build a. house and i said anderson we are building the new new orleans. because wherever we walk. walk out my first love how's a good friend he's a shim a lot would be able couple blocks apart you do imperfect oh thank you. anderson right there is he was going to marry using cooper. and then seth came in and and swept him away or a little boy you also do someone no one does i know him pretty well who in the world does alan old why did al and all that but i tell you this guy as british

comedian peters there found a way it's i thought i did on all that and then peters they're funny once there's a really good alan alda how do you what is ground zero and i've ever crimes and misdemeanors that movie and i want it kills his girlfriend kills so funny it would initially be rhode island into a thing so. william shatner was in that show called. s s blank my dad says you know and so we were going to do a similar thing with alan alda called my my f. ing roommate is a horse and it was al and all that his roommate was a second so how does he sound like you know i'm going to tell you when we roommates a horse and. this is insanity. thank you very much this is great this is great i love you for people to have the chino ever spoken to you know i saw him once and i was too afraid why would you be afraid he's a regular guy he's out to cheat. really is what

was it like being directed by you wife. it was great as a short and through it you know i kind of knew what the tone she wanted for a movie. it was i said it was a weird thing where she to direct me in a sex scene with rachel bilson which was you know awkward will awkward but a lot of the crew are like your wife is very nice she's letting you have a sex with someone who looks like rachel bilson and she kind of is looking at me too like you're welcome you're welcome sex scenes are hard to shoot though aren't there because this is fifty people around yeah and this was even a sex scene that was just played for comedy it wasn't even like a for real sex thing i don't get asked to do that a lot. due to the guy walking in on the sex. me i'm sort. of you i funny yes she's very funny very funny writer and she does a lot of stuff that you see beefeaters she's an improv actor and tell me about

flint lockwood cloudy with a chance of meatballs two the first one was a big hit right yeah so you know but is voiceovers different yet different for me i've done a few i did shrek three and i did the course the b. movie with son bo it's at big if you move what do you find it difficult or different about it i find it it can be very difficult it's kind of exhausting that was the thing i wasn't expecting because especially slutwalk what i'm yelling all my lines that's the thing i always get like bill it's great it's a little more energy you know. and you just and you say the same line eighty times like with eighty different you wonder studio alone yeah and you never get the act of credit they don't know they were alone yeah but i was shocked at that air was very strange pixar i'm doing these two pixar movies they will be in the room with you the writers at least and it's a little bit more of

a back and forth with like i mean you say well you know people are pacing around and there was a shot of should i be quiet and then you do your line and they go. great ok now you know but most of it you're just an alert it isn't a studio like this more with a brilliant bill hader is no other way to describe right after this. look it was terrible a problem very hard to take a look at once again a little long here there's a lot that had sex with that her make their lives. a little. extra sleep with. the olympics.

going to. a political. i. think. everybody thought if you. did you know the price is the only industry specifically mention in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy schreck albus. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and our crass cynical we've been hijacked by handful of trans national corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers one school class i'm tom mark and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem truck rational

debate and a real discussion critical issues facing america to find ready to join the movement then walk a little bit take. a mission and. couldn't take three. four charges three. months three. three stooges free. download free broadcast quality video for your media projects and free media don carty dot com. we're back with bill hader he's left saturday night live he's in the he's reprising his role as flint lockwood in cloudy with a chance of meatballs well once upon the twenty seventh he's in the to do list directed by his wife he's in the t. mobile commercial scene everywhere in other words he is ubiquitous he is everywhere

bill hader is in your life whether you like it or in the not. he's also going to be the voice of directions in your car. when you'd be great but i. laughed and laughed. where you got. more on would you ever like to do serious work yeah i actually. i'm in a movie i actually did two independent dramas last last year one is called the skeleton twins which is with kristen wig i love she's to live he's amazing and sarah but it's a very dramatic movie where we play. a strange twins who end up living with each other and and then a movie called the disappearance eleanor rigby with james mcavoy and jessica chest pain based on the beatles song yeah that's has yeah she's the character's names on

everybody but it's really like doing comics usually a very good serious work because somebody is serious it is that's for you it's not that funny if you're trying to be funny after that's that's kind of like the big rule you know it's i always think of i mean i was in a movie superbad and there's a scene in movie where i walk in on the character make love and with a girl and he ran away from me or whatever and i get mad and i was doing it really funny and the director greg went tola came over to me is like bill that's your best friend and he ran out on you know like play it serious and so i came in and i played it totally serious and like everyone was on the floor everyone was laughing the boom was coming and those like what does matter with you why do you do that like why do you do that man you know it was like the kid with his girl in bed and i don't know it's a good lesson was said the night live fun no work no bull is very bad for me it was

very nerve wracking and then went after was done it was like it was a combination of feeling very relieved and really accomplish something what's it like and no one's perfect when the skit doesn't work and you know it's really not work on it's terrible i mean hopefully you get that in drafts like a dress rehearsal something bombs really bad and you're able to kind of go. ok that didn't work and you know thank god everyone want to see that but you know sometimes it does happen i learned over the years i will ferrell did a sketch that is only a dress rehearsal sketch where he played gabe kaplan and it plays to total silence and i were amy poehler show me that sketch when i first started as analogies like when things are going well watch this and it is playing to total silence and he just digs in and takes his time and just you just see a switch in his head was like i'm doing this for me you know any kid and it is just

great and it was great and that's what you do and i always think i just commit you think now you got it made no i don't think i'll ever think oh maybe now i just i don't care i hope i never feel like i haven't made you just want to keep working and you know just keep moving forward and just you know trying new things and because you're so funny like is the tendency to think good typist even though you've got these two serious films coming yeah yeah i mean that can happen that can happen definitely i mean i don't i really don't know i just like accept things like what i watch that i'll go do it you know as a drama or comedy or the team mobile commercials which i know i made a joke about baby thing but it is true when i read them i'm like these are really funny i want to do these weird one though when you love says. was there a good part of the night the day where you said goodbye. i said i was leaving the cold war and i was leaving in february so i had

a while to kind of have it but there really wasn't we did that last step on scatch runs over where it was not anderson cooper then we came back and we were married and everything and the next sketch i was in was where i was playing a cop. an old cop. and i ran and you know and they took off to stefan shirt and wig and it just looked and it was whisked away so i was it knows it and i was like. oh no go by bill maher. not here now well tina fey actually sent us a cake at her last read through and that was very sweet and for me and fred and the band the flaming lips came and played us a song and their last their last read through it was very emotional actually while i was shedding night live what it was it still is i mean it's kind of i mean no one is it's it's there's nothing really light haired and show business i mean it's pure

show business you can learn so much and just it's the best entry level job in the show business scares in a week you go through all the emotions that everyone you know you're auditioning with your sketch you read that you're creating something or writing something or you can communicate with people all that stuff and your thing bombs or you'll have a giant hit and in the next week you have a bomb and so it keeps you just humble and working and still trying to figure it out and it's the network's most successful show yeah but i think i mean i think it is it just keeps reinventing itself and it always stays relevant and lorne michaels is really smart and has a good eye for he's a genius he really is he's yes bill hader by the way you fail to mention is emmy nominated actor and comedian for the larry some person actions on saturday night live how do you feel about that it's great to go to the emmys of course yeah one of my good a favorite who do you think is just if there's competition all i mean it's last year is modern family and all the modern family guys you know they get o'neil's

they're good. he's great i love him i'm the digging you're going to win. i've been right three out of ten times. when they got me measure about your wardrobe seems to do this is mainly a pledge church we have some pictures by the way oh good that was just two days ago . feel strongly about planned like i do about suspenders yeah is it part of you is that part of you that did not were planned today i now am air marina's shirt with a stain on it but staying cost a lot of money to put as in effect is that if you did that in a liberal year and those that i am sure why didn't you were played today. i don't know i don't really think basically a short answer is i pay no attention to what i put on and i want to leave i'm from oklahoma and it's just as much your way. around oklahoma tulsa oklahoma that's big

yeah is it true. where the wind comes from and put it out of balance and that we have a new insurance settlement sweet love oklahoma. as mel brooks was a tulsa is it true that there's a tumblr blog dedicated to buying you new clothes yes it's called let's buy bill hader some new clothes yes that's true i think clothes boy you know they just they just basically just a big piece of advice to me ryan seacrest picks up buy jeans he does he didn't like the jeans i used to when he sends me jeans he says yeah that impress you know. ryan ryan jealous of bill ritter the bills on t.v. more than he. i know how to i don't know if you're having a good time but we are. all right we have some social media questions of your

medicines seven h. tweets doomsday hate is there an impression you wish you could do but find too difficult ironically i. cannot do christopher walken which everyone can do christmas one people do yeah he's a guy that everyone does and i tizzy kim tweeted what's your most embarrassing moment while one moment i felt terrible as kristen we're going to be doing a sketch but we were two people interviewing jennifer lopez and jennifer lopez says something and i was supposed to spit something in kristen's face like i was just a big spit take and her face and dress it worked perfectly it was perfect got a big laugh everything and on air i want to do it and i've fully mr and as silence . and i did you not a rebound off of it i just kind of was like that didn't work so when you watch it badly put dress on the air. as were you intimidated to work on set in that.

first night was the first thing you did bad. thing but when you walk into s n l just audition they have a on seventeen they have a giant wall of every single cast member and you walk by that on your way. won't get you once you know what's the one thing you're absolutely terrified of. i mean going by getting up in front of people performing is pretty hard for me we end the show with a game called if you only knew just quick questions what you weird is pretty sure ritual i eat a cliff bar and i drink too as it should be special shops we do after the show right of the show i go home and i sleep and then i'm really woken up by both my kids' favorite impersonation do you have a favorite i like doing alan alda and i like doing daniel plainview from there will be blood there will be blood guy oh the daniel day lewis yeah there's
