larry king now funny man bill hader on being a minister and personate or i live on the lower lower east side i'll drink you'll be legal i'm going to tell you when we reach a horse we are building the new new one. on leaving saturday night live this became kind of a thing or. maybe now's the time to go plus i got to dress up as dreamy go and i got to walk and your dressing room and there's chevy chase and steve martin dresses the three amigos arguing how to do the absolute. that's next on larry king now.

welcome to larry king now i am looking boy this emmy nominated actor and comedian thing was 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 a 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 t. mobile things you're everywhere 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 your first baby and you get the child you go i will do whatever i will do all day every one. you know and then they said john

do 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 you shudder more than one day it's what we basically shot in one day around the l.a. times building and silverlake it was like and it was thirteen spots the running everywhere apparently yes probably the most exposure you've ever got it really. yeah most people know 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 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 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. go to this coffee shop and chelsea every morning and there was a barista there who kind of talk like that humans 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 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 the joke wasn't that he was gay as a sara lee a lot of times you play you know and to 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 but 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 a live show i get very kind of amped up and and so that character is easy to kind of you were hers. yes i am someone who walks around constantly read my lines we do 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's a filmmaker and she was consciously 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 just always coming out to los angeles and. i you know we had a very very short discussion about me like a slave in l.a. but me still trying to do saturday night live and it was just like that suppose you have it's an impossible i don't i can't even move to brooklyn. do saturday night

live like i have to basically live right by thirty rock or survived 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 stefan come back sometimes possibly yes he will i think you possibly will isn't he possible as a character beyond the night. step on sitcom sit com i don't know that we always talk about movie stuff and sitcom would actually be pretty. like the way 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 to be so whatever it is he's bad at it 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 that 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. it was. we did a show once with the cast of saturday night live on the set and they all would talk about the 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 alley recommending me maybe 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 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 to if you ever watch the show yeah but laughing all the you know that you know you lose it completely look yeah constantly fred armisen does has my number fred armisen hello hello yeah constantly when we do the californians. he constantly why i'll never say a line with the same inflection and so on it on air you know he's going hey what are you doing why you would wait a minute late just does this thing that he knows i have a very soft you have to do in person and people know i'm presuming that i'm lee members when you're 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 may have sisters my mom my mom my dad sorrow when they when they you know 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 they are from oklahoma

everyone you do and in person i just he was just with his earliest spitzer would be control how did you get to do him how do you even of 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 and stead of then actors are big on mission yeah the abbotts you

know one came from him to give an exit any acceptance speech and he was just kind of being as you know give me. oh thank you so much for here was very like it was very like all right. and you know. we i think i did thing about it my first thing was the as like it was anderson cooper in my first line i think ever and as the now as 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 order. to put the doors where we walk. walk as my first laus a good friend he's a shim a lot would be able couple blocks apart you do him perfectly oh thank you for the fun merry innocent right there is he was going to marry using cooper. and then seth came in and and swept the more world away 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 alan alda and then peter serafin what's there's a really good alan alda but what is up around all i've ever crimes and misdemeanors that movie and. kills his girlfriend still so funny i 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 rumi to horse and. this is insanity. thank you very much this is great this is great i love you for 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 was it like being directed by you wife. it was great there's 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 little awkward but a lot of the crew are like your wife is very nice and she's letting you have a sexy spot it 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 you know this is fifty people around 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. and usually the guy walking in on the sex he's be like whoa scuse me i'm sort. of you i funny yes she's very funny very funny writer and she

does a lot of stuff back there 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 yeah so it is voiceovers different yet different for me i've done a few i did shrek. and i did the course the b. movie with. it's acting if you move what do you find it difficult or different about i find it i have 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 that'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 going to studio alone yeah and you never get the act of freddie they don't know they were alone yeah and when i was shocked at that air was very strange pixar i'm doing this to 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 most of it you're just in alone it is in a studio like this more with the brilliant bill haters over the way to describe right after this. the police it was terrible take our lives very hard to take a look at once again a little longer here there's a lot happening that are exactly that hurt me there's no place. in the political. and. legal.

limit look it's. going to look. for the people. i. think. everybody thought if you. did you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy shrek albus. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the quote for the takeover of our government and across the cynical we've been hijacked lying handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers one still i'm tom market and on this show we reveal the big picture of

what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem. rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing america to find them ready to join the movement and welcome the big picture. 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 when 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 in the not he's also there to be the voice of directions in your car yeah that went to 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 a love she's two of he's amazing and so 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 testing based on the beatles' song yeah that's has the ash of the characters 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 the 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 like play it serious and so i came in and i played it totally serious and like everyone was on the floor and everyone who's live in a boom was coming and the like what does matter with you why'd you do that but why did 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 we said the night live fun no work no bull is very for me it was very nerve wracking and then when it 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 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 know. ok that didn't work you know that guy everyone want to 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 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 it switch in his head 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 recall ever think oh maybe nods that on the air 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 i read i'm like these are really funny i want to do these weird one though when you love so. 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 sketch . of what it was going off to anderson cooper and 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 pop. and i ran and you know and they took off

to stefan shirt and wig and just walked and just whisked away that was it knows it and i was like. oh you know go by bill no. not 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 at last our last read through it was very emotional actually why was the night live what it was it still is the i mean it's kind of i mean no one is it's it's there's nothing really like it 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 cares 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 that 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 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 it might make you the favorite who do you think is use to some petition oh i mean it's last year is modern family and privacy are all the modern family guys and they get o'neil's they're good 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 says mainly

a plaid shirts 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 is that part of you that did not wearing plaid today i now imam are an issue with a stain on it but the staying cost a lot of money to put as in effect is that if you did that in a liberal year knows that i am sure why didn't you wear played today. i don't know i don't really think basically my short answer is i pay no attention to what i put on and i leave i'm from oklahoma and it's just that's what your way. home also that's big yeah is it true. where the wind comes down in flames 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 mean do they buy it clothes for you know they just they just basically just a big piece of advice to me ryan seacrest picks up my jeans he does he didn't like the jeans age the when he sends me jeans he says yeah that impress you know. ryan ryan jealous of bill with 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 question ali or addison's seven h. tweets d. image data is there an impression you wish you could do but find too difficult ironically. i i cannot do christopher walken which everyone can do chris what people do and yeah he's a guy that everyone does and i came 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 or a face and dress it worked perfectly it was perfect got a big laugh everything and on air i light went 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 that's where so when you watch it actually put dress on the air. as were you intimidated to work on set in that you had tourist night what was the first thing you did that the chinos 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 in the show with a game called if you only knew just quick questions which you weird is pretty sure ritual i eat a cliff bar and i drink to. 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 those are great movies i'll drink you'll be able to yeah. do you have a favorite s.m.l. moment i had a crazy moment last year where. justin timberlake hosted and all the original people came back to this five timer club steve martin dan ackroyd chevy chase everybody well martin short couldn't be there for the dress rehearsal he can only

be there for the air and they had. the three amigos enter deuce justin timberlake second music act so lorne said bill would you like to be the third three and you go so i got to dress up as dreamy go and i got to walk into a dressing room and there's chevy chase and steve martin dressed as the three amigos arguing how to do the salute. and they had over there looking at it like no knowledge of this and it is like no no it was this and then they got out a phone and watched it on you tube well and i was pretty out of the quick thing you member the first girl you kissed back into also yes what was her name jennifer dennis and she had to stand on a rock to kiss me to those very tall awaiting to eat i was three years old. and whatever happened. i don't know whether i don't know what happened to her but i was no i was probably twelve and she was very very nice and it was very it was like

crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want.

how do you people have a martin and this is breaking the set so it's no secret that the u.s. military has over five thousand nuclear warheads and up to eliminate most life on earth but it may surprise you how much it costs just to maintain these weapons on new study from the center for nonproliferation studies just concluded that of the course of the next thirty years the u.s. will spend nearly one trillion dollars to either keep these weapons operational or modernize them because you will know the cold war never really ended and if there's one thing we need to be spending billions of dollars on it's in the mass killing machines so all this country continues to lag behind in education income equality and sustainable energy at least we can keep the people of the world up at night knowing that the cold war is alive and well and we got our nukes unlocked and you know what it looks break the set.
