Hell there's even a clip where a fan of the show asks if Sally was meant to be annoying and unlikable and Bill only followed up with "well she's based off of me... sooo..."

And then he goes on Conan and has ten minutes conversation on subjective camera moves and building suspense in Hitchcock movies. The joy of people having real conversatuions.

Ok, everybody thinking he hates being interviewed. It is not that, it is that he hates being asked questions by completely uninformed people who should have done a smidge of research before interviewing him. That is why he is great on late night shows. Those guys know his work old and new (and the new is what they should be focused on). You can see he is just annoyed by how out of touch some people are and instead of talking about the thing he is there to promote they bring up things he did two decades ago. And "hating" is a strong word. I think it is just more that he is totally surprised how out of touch people who are doing daily shows are from the comedy world.

The American daytime show hosts always have the most braindead lines of questioning. Rule #1 of interviewing is to put your interviewee at ease. They can't even manage that, they just wanna hear themselves talk and grab a soundbite they can print in tomorrow's gossip rags.

My mom approached him in a restaurant to tell him she was a fan (after we told her to leave him alone, lol) and he was SUPER nice and gracious, fwiw.

I didn’t think I could appreciate Bill Hader more than I already did

“…and I’m sure that’s annoying” “YES”

Bill Hader is difficulty level “difficult” for interviewers. If you’re not prepared and skilled Game over.

Adam Scott is another one. he's always super professional, but you can see him slowly dying inside over the course of the junket. By the end of the one for Krampus, he's stuck on a small YT podcast, and he tells them, "I've been doing this for two weeks... I just really wanna go home..." They keep him on for 45 minutes, and make him play a trivia game.... He looks deflated. The laughter sometimes just comes from being exhausted.

@krusher181

Жыл бұрын

Well yeah also he was on a show called party down where his character is haunted by vapid people being impressed with his fame. So it’s probably something he’s thought about in depth. Every job has parts that suck tho I guess Adam Scott is great on podcasts and any long form interview tho. Very funny, very chill, can riff with stand ups very naturally.

Here is the problem. Bill doesn't like it when people deviate from the project he is there to talk about. Or when they don't come prepared. The side effect of that is when fans come in to do an interview and then ask to experience his tallents that are not project related, it is driven off the rails. It is doubly bad because Bill is not there to do the same impressions 100 times for a promotion he is trying to do. He is trying to promote a project. When on SNL, do you think the directors are making him do impressions all day? No, he prepares and reherses for a week and then performs live once and then it is done. He isn't a DVD you can rewind. He is a human being trying to make a living.

And then there's the Seth Meyers show, where they never fail to crack each other up. The best bit is where Seth tries his impessions on Bill, and actually cracks bill up with the buddy buddy buddy' vince vhaun bit.
