Bill Hader Physically Removed From Martin Scorsese SNL Dressing Room

Bill Hader is widely recognized for his comedic talent, evidenced by his eight seasons on Saturday Night Live and his ability to make fellow comedians break character with laughter. One notable moment showcasing his humor was during an SNL 'Weekend Update' sketch where his impression of James Carville caused Seth Meyers to laugh openly. Separately, Hader's passion for film and cinephilia led to an awkward but memorable encounter with director Martin Scorsese at SNL in 2012, where Hader, eager to discuss movies, was eventually pulled out of Scorsese's dressing room by a producer. Despite the embarrassment, Hader has expressed admiration for Scorsese's work and cited films like Taxi Driver as inspirations for his own projects, including the series Barry. Hader has also been candid about his struggles with anxiety during his time on SNL, with Lorne Michaels adopting a direct approach to help him cope. These anecdotes highlight both Hader's comedic brilliance and his deep love for film, alongside the challenges he has faced in his career.
