I worked in the film industry in camera for 24 yrs. We (the camera crew) became so jaded over time, but when a guy like Bill came on a show it would be so refreshing. They'd always act like they shouldn't be there, like somebody made a mistake and they'd spend the whole day making the crew laugh. I love seeing people like Bill succeed.

He puts in the work to get the little nuances that really sell a good impression, like he doesn't just say "Deh's a bamb in derr," at the end his "there" sounds more like "deauUhhre," like 4-5 extra sounds to trail it, I would never think to do that

I'm a 75-year-old lady and believe it or not, I just discovered Bill Hader 2 weeks ago. Let's face it, I'm not exactly his target audience demographic, so it's not surprising that I would not know him like my daughter (who's Bill's age) does. But I was so charmed by a video including Bill that fell into my lap that I've been binge watching every YT video I can find with Bill in it. His impressions/comedy are so impressive and he's become my go-to when I'm having a tough day. Wow, what an incredibly gifted talent!

Try using a calculator, lots of us find him boring. I'm one of many people who used to watch him on SNL but now feels like 'I would swear he was funny at one time, but maybe I'm wrong about that'. Some people are in love with him but there's no need to mistake that for him being universally beloved. He's like a funny high school kid... like, ok, that's nice, you won the hometown talent show in 2005. Funny little self-conscious faces and voices, good for you. SNL is very good at making the audience confused as to whether they think somebody is actually funny or just so cute that you'll watch them brush their teeth and laugh about it.

I cannot stop smiling the instant Bill opens his mouth.

The world needs more Bill Hader, especially in sketch comedy.

As no one in particular, I was around Tom off and on for a couple years back around the time that he was forming, and then had just formed, Cruise/Wagner. I can assure you Tom is literally like this with everyone. If he runs into the janitor in the basement, he is amazed and walks away knowing the guys name, and having found out something about him. If people are light bulbs, the dude was somehow constantly a 400 watt light bulb.

Comedians are known to be some of the best talk show guests. They have gags and anecdotes for almost any topic and if not they’re usually good at ad-libbing due to their quick wittedness. Plus unlike some actors/musicians/writers they rarely take themselves too seriously so can laugh at themselves which makes the host look good.

His nervous laughter is so sincere.
