A first
Hader's 2012 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series made him the first male SNL cast member nominated in that category since Eddie Murphy in 1986.
Early training
Hader began taking improv classes at the Second City in March 2003, then formed the sketch group Animals From The Future with Matt Offerman, Eric Filipkowski and Mel Cowan and performed at backyard shows in Van Nuys.
Getting ready for a role
Hader and Ben Schwartz supplied the voice of BB-8 in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, credited as BB-8 vocal consultants, with their voices run through a talkbox attached to an iPad.
A change of course
Hader hosted Essentials, Jr. on Turner Classic Movies from 2011 to 2014. He landed the gig after guest programming with Robert Osborne, who liked his eclectic picks, and TCM then invited him to host its summer showcase for younger viewers.
Behind the camera
Bill Hader and his SNL castmate Seth Meyers wrote a Spider-Man one-off called The Short Halloween. Kevin Maguire illustrated it, and it came out May 29, 2009.
