Lorne Michaels' lateness is the reason Bill Hader and Fred Armisen created a running gag that eventually became Saturday Night Live's hilarious Californians sketch.

When Hader cracked though he quickly recovered and could do the rest of the sketch in character. Jimmy would break and just laugh through the whole sketch and kind of ruin it.

Hader probably has an impression of every writer and cast member of SNL he has ever met. Too bad we probably wont see 80% of his best impressions, since they are people he knows or are important people who might get mad.

@ISBuckley8 2 жыл бұрын

One of my favorite interviews was where Hader was on Conan and explained that a lot of the SNL cast do impressions of each other (in general, I feel that the group consisting of Hader, Wiig, Fred Armisen, Andy Samberg, Jason Sudeikis, Maya Rudolph, Will Forte and Seth Meyers are all pretty close since they’re always popping up in each other’s projects, hence why they all do impressions of each other)
