11:02 pm
actually really funny these guys these guys from canada. adam and dave they wrote him and they were really really good you shudder more than one day it's when we basically shot him and one day around the l.a. times building and silver lake it was like enters thirteen spots and they're running everywhere apparently yes probably the most exposure you've ever got it really. yeah most people in the most you know yellow t. 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 s n l and he really deserves a lot of credit for stefan because so much of the the disc you know they were playing out his hand and he got an e-mail from a guy saying hey you should come to this club this club has everything like rooms
11:03 pm
full of broken glass balls new york's hottest club is wish or whatever it was called and so he would read out this email to us as a joke and then i separately. we go to this coffee shop there and shall see every morning and there was a barista there who kind of talk like that you miss that guy how are 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 e-mail and then john had the smarts to say let's combine them did anyone think that gays would be offended i know 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
11:04 pm
the joke wasn't that he was gay necessarily a lot of times you play you know at the 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 jobs you like to do wouldn't you like oh yeah oh 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 i get very kind of amped up and and so characters easy to kind of you were her sit. 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
11:05 pm
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's a filmmaker and she was constantly going out to l.a. and i was consciously going out to l.a. and we have two kids and so it just became kind of a thing of. maybe now's the time. to go do it do this film do it and i did that to do list that's my wife's movie and so she we were just always coming out to los angeles and. i you know we had a very very short discussion about me with a slave in l.a. but me still trying to do saturday night live and it was just like that suppose you have to 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 last year and your constant getting pulled in you know and at all hours is
11:06 pm
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 stephon sitcom sic i don't know that would be always talked about movie stuff and sitcom would actually be pretty. like. tom had do it multi-cam around it's yeah and he is like a normal neighbor and we're kind of occupation what's going on 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 it's. like you just haven't met
11:07 pm
the right girl that's all. that was having it would be to show once with the cast of saturday night live on the set and they all would talk about the additions you know was there what was it was like. i had a weird thing where they came in saw they saw me in there in l.a. made them all alley recommending me maybe 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 so you know it's a good 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 and give a crack up too if you ever watch the show yeah but laughing all the more you lose
11:08 pm
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 air you know he's going hey what are you julian lee you wait a minute late just as a saying that he knows i have a very soft that you have to do in person the people who 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 story so the family everyone in my family my sisters my mom my mom my dad so 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 as early as spitzer. how did you get
11:09 pm
to do him how do you 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 like is 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 just kind of being i was you know give me. a thank you so much for here this is
11:10 pm
great like your very life all right. and you know. we have a good idea of being about to have my first thing was the as like it was anderson cooper in 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 newark. new book the doors where we walk. walk my first love how's a good friend he's a she i'm a lot we live a couple blocks apart you do imperfect thank you. every innocent right there is he was going to marry you think hooper. and seth came in and and swept him away or a little boy you also do someone no one does 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
11:11 pm
peters there found a way it's i thought i did alan alda and then peter serafin once there's a really good alan alda. what is up around old i got there from crimes and misdemeanors that movie and. he kills his girlfriend jill so funny it would initially wrote alan alda 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 it was new in my mind. thank you very much this is great this is great i love you have people told you have the chino ever spoken to you now i saw him once and i was too afraid why would you be afraid he's a regular guy he's out that she. really is and what
11:12 pm
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 and 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. to shoot the 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. of years of the guy walking in on the sex scene he's being like the oh excuse me i'm sort. of you why 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
11:13 pm
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 two course the b. movie with info its act 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 a 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 are you under studio alone yeah and you never get to act of threat they don't know they were alone yeah but i was shocked at that there 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
11:14 pm
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. they break ok now you know but most of it you're just on a low it isn't a studio like this more with the brilliant bill haters over the way to describe right after this place. look. look it was terrible a problem very hard to take out a little to get along here a lot happen that are exactly that her make their lives. a little.
11:15 pm
going to live a. little look look look look look. look look look look look. look the polls. plus how does the new alert animation scripts scare me a little. there is breaking news tonight and we are continuing to follow the breaking news. alexander's family cry tears of joy and a great things out there that there had to be added brenda arquette
11:16 pm
a court of law found online is a story made for a movie is playing out in real life. we're back with bill hader he's left saturday night live he's in the he's we're prizing his role as flint lockwood in cloudy with a chance of meatballs open september 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 not he's also going to be the voice of directions in your car yeah when i told you the great thing i laughed and laughed. where you got.
11:17 pm
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 terrific he's amazing and so it's a very dramatic movie where we play. 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 it was great 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 a movie where i walk in on the character make love and with
11:18 pm
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 like play it serious and so i came in and i played it totally serious and like everyone was on the floor everyone who's laughing the boom was coming and it was like what is the 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 in after was done it was really 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 worked 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 you know.
11:19 pm
ok that didn't work and you know thank god everyone won't see that but you know sometimes it does happen i learned over the years i will ferrel 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 our first show started as analogy like when things are going well watch this and it is plain to total silence and he just digs in and takes his time and just you just see it switching his hair was like i'm doing this for me you know and he can it is just great and it was great and that's what you do and always you know you just commit you think now you've got it made no i don't think i'll ever think oh maybe now i just i don't yeah 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
11:20 pm
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 i read i'm like these are really funny i want to do these were when the when you love so. was there a good parting night day where you said goodbye. well i said i said i was leaving a 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 going off to anderson cooper then we came back and we were married and everything and then 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 the stefan shirt and wig and i just looked and it was whisked away so i was it
11:21 pm
knows it and i was. 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 in 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. what it was it still is that me is kind of i mean no one is it's it's there's nothing really light there 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 could communicate with people all that stuff and your thing bombs or you'll have a giant hit and then the next week you have a bomb and so it keeps you just humble and working and still trying to figure it
11:22 pm
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 to 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 have me may ask you 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 . you feel strongly about plaid like i do about suspenders yeah is it part of you
11:23 pm
is that part of you that did not were planned today i now am air marina's shirt with a stain on it but the stain cost a lot of money to put as an effect is there not right you did that in a liberal year knows that i am sure why didn't you were playing today. i don't know i don't really think basically very 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 that's what your way. around a little home of tulsa oklahoma will be that's big yeah is it true. where the wind comes out of the valley and in that way haven't we sure as hell sweet i 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 knew they had clothes for you now they
11:24 pm

11:25 pm
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 as opposed to a big spit take and or a face and dress it worked perfectly it was perfect got a big laugh everything and on air i like want to do it and i've fully mr and it was just silence. and i did you not a rebound off of it i just kind of was like i have been aware so when you watch it they actually put a dress on the air. as were you intimidated to work on set in that you had thursday night what was the first thing you did that chinos thing but when you walk into as and i'll just audition they have a on seventeen they have a giant wall of every single cast member and you walk by and act on your way together where you. want gets 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
