About Bill Hader
On the late-night sketch comedy program Saturday Night Live, comedian and chameleon-like impressionist retreats into characters more often than he creates them. Hader has been a cast member since 2005, and like Phil Hartman and Darrell Hammond before him, he quickly rose to the role of a utility player while still managing to steal the spotlight with well-known characters like “Stefon,” the New York club kid who has become a staple of the “Weekend Update” segment.
Hader swiftly rose to fame on the program and later found success as a character actor in some of the biggest comedies in Hollywood. He is also an integral part of filmmaker Judd Apatow‘s repertory cast.
Bill Hader was raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he was born. When Hader was a child growing up in Tulsa, his father occasionally gave stand-up performances. In Los Angeles, he played with both Second City and ImprovOlympic. Along with Andy Samberg and Kristen Wiig, Hader was hired as a “featured performer” for Saturday Night Live in 2005. During the show’s 32nd season, he was given the opportunity to join the main cast.
In addition to Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Year One, and Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, he has acted in a number of major motion pictures.
Hader was the first cast member to be nominated in the category since Eddie Murphy in 1983 when he garnered an Emmy nod in 2012 for his performance on Saturday Night Live.
