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 build a plane i'm going to tell you when we will meet two horses we are building the new 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 salute. that's next on larry king now. welcome to larry king now i am looking borderless 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 there there's a big honor and i'm lying on a tell me first about this this the t. mobile things you're everywhere how did this happen for you 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 what do you want me to do you know and then they had a said john 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 silver lake it was like and it was thirteen spots 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 was that 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. 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 blah blah 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 like i were you and he was always telling me that is 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 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 like that and that

the joke wasn't that he was gay necessarily a lot of times you play it you know it 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 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 that character is easy to kind of you were hers. yes i am someone who walks around constantly read my lines would constantly walking around is running it and running it and i have a crack up the other people around. yeah yeah when i first did stefan you see the cue card guy like this and on the other side was andy samberg and john just like. him pointing at me especially when he changes stuff on the card just 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 have 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 with a slave in l.a. but me still trying to do saturday night live and it was just like that suppose you have that 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

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 the night while stephon sitcom sit com i don't know that we always talk about movie stuff when sitcom would actually be pretty. like you. had do a multicam 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 at 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. that was having it we did a show once with the cast of said in love on the set and they all would talk about the additions you know hard that 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 a girl she's amazing engineer 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 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 and give a crack up too 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 with hello yet constantly when we do the californians. he constantly why i'll never say a line with the same inflections so on and on air you know he's going hey what are you jew and why you would wait a minute late just as a saying that he knows i am a very softly you want to do in person the people who know i'm presuming the only 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 want to like i saw george at the supermarket they're like some of those who market and i saw george know he was there from oklahoma everyone you do and in person i just he was just with as early as spitzer would be control

how did you get 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 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 all a time 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 but you know one came from him to give an exit any acceptance speech and he was just kind of being i was you know give me a. thank you so much for here this is very like it was very like all

right. and you know. we i think i did thing about him 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 new order. to put the doors where we walk. walk my first love the good friend he. would be a couple blocks apart you do him perfectly oh thank you. mary innocent right there is he was going to marry you think hooper. and seth cannon and the more well that are with you also to 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 how do what is up around all that i've ever crimes and misdemeanors that movie and. he kills his girlfriend jill 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 effing 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 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 that she. really is and 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 little awkward but a lot of the crew were 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 scenes are hard to shoot though aren't they 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 scene he's being 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 tell me about

flint lockwood cloudy with a chance of meatballs two the first one was a big hit yeah so i know but is voiceovers different yet different for me i've done a few i did shrek. and i did two course the b. movie with son bo it's as big 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 the thing i wasn't expecting because especially slutwalk what i'm yelling all my lines it'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 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 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 in a low it is in a studio like this more with the brilliant bill haters over the way to describe right after this place. to. live. look it was terrible to say oh i'm very hard to take out a little to get along here there's a lot that are stacked with that earthquake there's no place. to live.

live. live live live. live live. live. live. upon. 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 has been rendered in

a court of law found online is a story made for movies 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 or 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 not he's also there to be the voice of directions in your car yeah when you be grateful. that laughter 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 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 the ash the characters names on everybody but it's it was do you 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 the movie where i walk and 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 who's going to boom was coming and it was like what is the matter with you why'd you do that like why do you do that man you know it is 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 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 and dress like a dress rehearsal something bombs really bad and you're able to kind of you know.

ok that didn't work thank you no thank i 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 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 it's not on the air i hope i never feel like i haven't made you just want to keep working and just keep moving forward and just you know trying new things and because it's 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 them 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. 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 . of what it was not 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 pop. and i ran and you know and they took off to stefan shirt and wig and he just looked and it was just the way it was it knows it and i was like. oh no go by bill. 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 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 because in a week you go through all the emotions that everyone you know you're auditioning with your sketch and 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 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 asians on saturday night live how they feel about that is great if you go to the emmys of course yeah one of my good a favorite who do you think is use to some petition oh i mean it's last year is modern family and writers here are the modern family guys they get o'neill's they're good good he's great i love him on the digging you're going to win. i've been right three out of ten times. when they got me miss you 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 in a shirt with a stain on it but the stain cost a lot of money to put it as an 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 when i leave i am from oklahoma and it's just stats which are where. there are no home tulsa oklahoma that's big yeah is it true. where the wind comes out of planes and that we have a new insurance said else we 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 clothes for you know they

just it's just basically just a big piece of advice to me ryan seacrest picks up buy jeans he does he didn't like the jeans age the when he sends me jeans he has. 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 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 we're 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 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 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 they actually put dress on the air. as were you intimidated to work on set in that. first night was the first thing you did that 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 the act 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 i mean 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 to. a special shots we do after the show right of the show i go home and i sleep in and i'm nearly 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 being louis yeah there's a great movie i'll drink you'll be rich yeah. you have a favorite as in now moment i had a crazy moment last year where. justin timberlake hosted and all the original people came back for 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 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 one of the quick thing you remember the first girl you kissed back into also yes what was her name jennifer dennis and it she had to stand on a rock to kiss me go very tall where you 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 norman rockwell issue was very sweet and she stood on a rock she stood on a rock and so yes very tall so moment. i think if you don't stand on the right yeah

. you know you'll see him on cloudy with a chance of meatballs september twenty seventh i wish him luck at the emmys i predict he wins and i've been right as i say that three out of ten thanks that i guess the very funny delay they've given find me on twitter at kings things. well. science technology innovation all the least developed from around russia we've got the future covered. i know c.n.n. the m s n b c news have taken some not slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's closer to the truth and might

think. it's because when full attention and the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on we're. going to have. at our teen years we have a different right. because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not hi. i'm that. you guys talk to the jokes well handled stuff that i'm. under the market like these policies i dislike people.
