    I worked in the film industry in camera for 24 yrs. We (the camera crew) became so jaded over time, but when a guy like Bill came on a show it would be so refreshing. They'd always act like they shouldn't be there, like somebody made a mistake and they'd spend the whole day making the crew laugh. I love seeing people like Bill succeed.

    Hader's impressions are so uncanny -- he just becomes the person, and he switches them on and off so effortlessly. And his laughter is always adorably contagious.
  • @geekverve
    Bill is one of my favorite entertainers. Absolutely hilarious and seems so genuine. The guy's got range, too. If you've not seen his show, "Barry", you're missing out.
  • @elsabean6791
    I cannot stop smiling the instant Bill opens his mouth.
  • @chamaileon81
    It's mathematically impossible to not love Bill Hader.
  • @CharlieTWilbury
    Hader is a great, natural storyteller; I love how delighted Letterman is with these stories. He is genuinely loving it.
  • @DAMusic-qu2ec
    He even gets the body language right for his Tom Cruise impression

    I'm a 75-year-old lady and believe it or not, I just discovered Bill Hader 2 weeks ago. Let's face it, I'm not exactly his target audience demographic, so it's not surprising that I would not know him like my daughter (who's Bill's age) does. But I was so charmed by a video including Bill that fell into my lap that I've been binge watching every YT video I can find with Bill in it. His impressions/comedy are so impressive and he's become my go-to when I'm having a tough day. Wow, what an incredibly gifted talent!
  • I’ve been lucky enough to have looked after Bill on two different movies. I can honestly say he is hands down as nice and genuine as you would believe. He never fails to entertain with non-stop anecdotes. His SNL career has given him lots of celebrity comics fodder A real gem !!

    Hader KILLED it. And you could see David knew it from the first moment.
  • @maxpower8548
    I find myself rewatching this about every six months. Never gets old. 😂👍
  • Wow, amazing to see a host actually let a guest tell a whole story without interrupting.
  • @jq8974
    Bill is so fresh out of the gate. He laughed so hard at everything. Classic!
  • @jasonfella265
    Easily one of the funniest guys in the business. He's got such a dorky, lovable quality about him, too. He deserves every bit of success for his skills.
  • @bobbillings
    I have never heard Dave laugh so hard than here, Bill is a wonderful story teller
  • @peterddb1593
    Ha! This was a fun clip. Bill was adorable. He made Dave laugh and called Dave "buddy"! Thanks for sharing this.
  • @adctd2gtr
    Hader is the best. He had Dave cough-laughing, he's so naturally hilarious.
  • @ec-kj4yp
    I absolutely adore Bill Hader. Not only is he one of the funniest guys around, but he is also sweet AND cute. The whole package.
  • @noitallmanaz
    I love how he kept saying "thanks Buddy"... you know he was super nervous...
  • @alkaline3mc
    Hader is an absolute gem. I hope his career beyond Barry is beyond incredible.
