or do they i prefer
for this list we'll be looking at this

and heartwarming media moments please

and be sure to leave your favorite bill
hater moments in the comments below
alright let's get to it number 10.
point pleasant police department the
tonight show starring jimmy fallon
what do you get when you combine two snl
alums known for breaking character
a fake cop drama and a buffet filled
with pepsi pudding in perrier
a spluttering good time that's what
morning
morning pete you're in pain your palm's
cold in plaster
this recurring tonight show sketch sees
host jimmy fallon and one of his guests
in this case bill hader play out a scene
from the made up tv show point pleasant
police department
looks like a week's pretty packed
put it in
basically the two detectives argue while
spitting their beverages and bits of
food on each other
by the police department if we speak
politely to our peers
not only is it obvious the two are
having a blast but also
in true hater fashion we hear the
comedian sincerely apologize as he's
dousing fallon's face in chocolate
pudding and sparkling water
very protective pete
[Applause]
now that's some contagious and
lighthearted fun
number nine actor activity impressions
the ellen degeneres show
it's no secret that bill hader has a
superb talent for mimicry
mostly cultivated from his sketch comedy
days so
it came as no surprise that he would
nail ellen's impression game without a
hitch
puff the magic dragon
i huffed and puffed and then
kept puffing picked at random hater had
to perform different celebrities doing
random activities
from jack nicholson running a lemonade
stand and if you don't order
a lemonade for me you're gonna go right
to hell
or harry styles and a personal trainer
no you could put more on than that
no go ahead you could put more on there
no do it to john oliver at a hip-hop
concert
please don't do that oh ouch please i
can't jump
that high in the air but i can hold one
hand like this i can do that if that if
you can see me
kendrick
not only did bill get to flex his
uncanny caricature abilities
but we also got a taste of his
impressive improv skills
what more could an audience ask for i
could play the guitar
and that's about it number eight
new york accent impressions dieses and
marrow
if you can make two bronx natives double
over in laughter with a couple of
hilariously accurate nyc accents
then your name must be bill hader you
got like some girl doing all your stunts
although the comedian no longer resides
in the big apple his
impressions are far from rusty as proven
during his appearance on jesus and
marrow i was just like looking at movies
because there's all these movies you
couldn't get
in tulsa and i was like oh and the guy
behind the counter went
yo stretch you got a retiny thing
not only that but the trio seemed to be
having a blast riffing off each other
goofing around with different jokes and
voices they almost abandoned the
interview questions entirely
folding in on itself the table serious
question bill
yeah what is your artistic process
it seems that no matter where bill hader
gets a case of the giggles
good times and great energy are sure to
follow
number seven his reddit ama read it
if you have any doubts that bill hader
is the sweetest and most down-to-earth
celebrity ever
then you should go and take a look at
his reddit ama from 2013.
not many famous faces would take time
out of their day to interact with their
fans
let alone dedicate an entire reddit page
to their questions and queries
but hater is a different breed some of
the highlights include hater addressing
a tumblr page dedicated to his poor
wardrobe choices or lack thereof
tips for fans on how to respectfully
approach him in public
his admiration for former snl castmates
and
the time he revealed the ending of
titanic to a theater full of sorority
girls
now that is a spoiler of blockbuster
proportions
number six his arnold schwarzenegger
impression with conan o'brien
it may come as a surprise to some but
bill hader started out as a production
assistant in hollywood before
discovering he had a knack for comedy
but one of the films he worked on
featured action hero and former governor
of california
arnold schwarzenegger and it's clear
that hader's subconscious was taking
notes
and bugs are coming around they're like
the funny man has shared his impressions
with talk show host conan o'brien
more than once and each time his
delivery of the former bodybuilder was
spot
on most of the interview clips have had
a deep fake edit makeover
pasting arnold's face onto bills but
they are shockingly effective
i'm four and a half father
gotta get out of here get out of this
with the bombing
while simultaneously creepy and
hilarious they only add to the
performance
making them one of the best impressions
around and that was the big line in that
movie was open up the door there's a
bomb in there
number five when he showed us how much
he loves his children
variety the only thing that would make
us
adore this funny man even more is
finding out he's a devoted family man to
boot
hater made the planet collectively ah
when an article 4 variety revealed he
had barely seen his three daughters
during an entire summer due to an
extremely busy work schedule
the fact of the matter was so upsetting
that the star apparently broke down
during the interview
he quickly picked up the pieces however
and joked about it moments later
telling the reporter he planned on
staying home the following year
stating quote they can see me all day if
they want they can
really get sick of me now that is a
great dad
number four star wars impressions conan
even if he wasn't a super fan of the
sci-fi series he
is we're pretty sure these imitations
would be spot on
either way
during a 2014 appearance on conan bill
and the talk show host discussed the
then
upcoming star wars trilogy series and
what bill would do for a role in jj
abram's film
it was the perfect setup for him to
start executing his well-crafted and
hysterically accurate impressions of a
dying job of the hutt
and taunton
[Applause]
although he didn't end up getting cast
as any of those characters in the force
awakens
hater was able to get the next best
thing and served as a vocal consultant
for the droid
bb-8 the eileenium system selenium
system that's the one
get us there as fast as you can i'll
drop you to nema terminal
number three the president of hollywood
comedy central roast of james franco
ladies and gentlemen please welcome the
president of hollywood
[Music]
if you were to combine multiple
stereotypes about the entertainment
industry and package it into human form
this would be the result before i start
i just want to say
to everyone up here you're welcome
which is exactly what bill must have
planned when he agreed to perform at
james franco's roast
looking forward to your new show
brooklyn nine-nine
funny cops
you're always pushing the envelope andy
decked out in a white wig red tracksuit
and 70 shades
hater performed his bit as the president
of hollywood
ripping into each person on stage with
one zinger after another
aziz i admire how you've never taken the
stereotypical indian roles
i just want to tell you that if you did
you would make
so much more money not only was his
delivery impeccable but also his
material
a perfect combination of edgy and goofy
never fell
flat and had the entire room roaring
with laughter until the very end
but i know it hasn't always been easy
for you james
you overcame a crippling childhood
affliction known
as dumbface
number two revealing what made him break
on snl
late night with seth meyers as
previously mentioned
hater was often known for breaking
character during his time on saturday
night live
210 episodes i was nervous for
every one of them and i'm nervous now
after hosting an episode in 2018 he
opened up on late night with seth meyers
about two particular instances during
the evening
and why they had him cracking up
uncontrollably you said
my girlfriend because my girlfriend
works at
yoshinoa beef bowl well the first moment
was obviously during one of his wacky
stephon skits
the second happened when he played a
geriatric old man on a motorized
wheelchair
you know what no
hater ended up not only backing into
some props during the scene
but also dragging cast member melissa
viasenor along with them
you should be ashamed of yourselves
[Music]
in bill's defense however the sheer
ridiculousness of that sketch would have
had
anyone tearing up with laughter well it
was bad because i backed up
and i knew i hit something but i didn't
know what it was
and i could hear melissa behind me going
it's me
haters breaking is definitely part of
why he's so awesome because he's having
as much fun
as we are but there was one time that he
was even more relatable than that
and we've put it at number one so let's
look through some honorable mentions
and then we'll see the top time bill
hader was awesome
lauren michaels conan a hilariously dark
imitation of snl's famed creator
i went to kansas city um
with alec and marcy uh to try to
get btk killer off death row
the underdog off camera with sam jones
reminds us that the path to success is
not always the one we planned
i moved out here to be a filmmaker to
make movies and
and write movies and right and nothing
was happening for
you know six years being open about his
mental health struggles
child mind institute hater offers a
candid account of his lifelong anxiety
along with some sage advice
instead of pushing that thing away and
trying to fight it
i would just go hey oh hey buddy you
know i was like a little
uh monkey and i would just kind of go
okay here let's sit on my shoulder sit
on my shoulder let's hang out
chatting it up with john mullaney the
92nd street y
watching these two snl greats shoot the
breeze would make anyone's day
i was lucky enough to find a guy like
john that when i would perform in one of
our sketches
it was kind of like i'm just performing
to john
like i just want to make john laugh oh

number one meeting keith morrison sunday
today with willie geist
a surprise introduction to one's idol
would be a surreal experience for anyone
including a big name like bill hader
it's a well-known fact that hader is an
avid fan of dateline
along with the show's longtime
correspondent keith morrison
having parodied the latter in multiple
snl sketches yeah
diego confessed but let's ignore that
because this is an hour's show so we've
got to stretch this
out after being invited to visit one of
the program's editing bays during an
interview on sunday today with willie
geist
hater is beyond delighted when the
journalist pops into the office for an
impromptu meeting
i don't know how you get better than
keith morrison i knew he was going to be
here
i knew he was going to be here oh my god
wow oh my gosh hater is visibly
starstruck and
overjoyed at encountering such an icon
uh
larry david there's so many of us we're
like massive fans of yours
and we'll always be like you see what
morris i mean
you're just the i'm super
we can't help but collectively share in
his infectious delight as we watch the
comedian turn into a total fanboy in
front of a true crime
legend no one tells a story like
dateline
or do they that's so rad
what is more relatable and awesome than
getting super excited
when you meet one of your idols exactly

comments which time you think bill hater
