Bill Hader comes off as a genuinely good man. I wish him the best.
This might be one of the most inspiring interviews I've ever seen, in a weird sort of way.
"I couldnt get in any good film schools, cause my grades were bad..." Right there, this grade system is bullshit if it filters someone so talented as Bill Hader.
@@MrAsmontero Or maybe he wasn't a good filmmaker at that time, and had yet to find his calling as a comedian. Or both.
I was just thinking the same thing!!!
@@MrAsmontero I mean yes I do think there are a lot of things to improve in the system but also like @MiSTaH bOmBAsTiK said... Bill Hader as a teenager probably did not have the maturity and talent that the Bill Hader who'd spent 6 years working as PA in LA had acquired. We all have our own rhythm, not everybody needs to be ready right after high school. (which is an inspiring thought indeed)
Literally just got the likes on this comment 666 I feel special
i live in Oklahoma and its true what he says, no one believes in you. its laughed at if you dream big
There are many people that are famous from our state. Do your research and say fuck them if you want to live your dream. ONLY Cowards stay broke
It’s very true. I got out at 17 and never went back. Hate that place.
It's sad, especially for people who are as introverted as Bill. Articulation is definitely not his problem but trying to speak out in a place where your words don't matter to begin with can make it almost impossible for that person to believe in themselves so I'm glad he found some strength in him when he grew up and just went with it.
That's the whole Midwest
Same
Bill Hader is the greatest example of someone who worked his way to the top by doing what he loves and being grateful for everything he was given. He seems like a brilliant dude
So many haters but but only one hader.
Very Underrated comment. Just sayin.
Haders gonna hade
He actually has two sisters, three daughters and two parents so I'm pretty sure he's not the only Hader out there.
I mean he probably has relatives.
Coen A only one of them matters. Lol
These types of interviews fill me up with a feeling that it’s all going to workout some day for me... because lately I’ve been feeling pretty lost
^das rude
Milciades Castillo that was an awesome comment. 👍🏼
chet why don't you just shut the fuck up
Every one report "Chet Michael" we need positivity in the world not negativity..
Thank you Milciades.. I appreciate you being here. :)
This is immeasurably encouraging.
chet michael ❤️
All-Star Videos They pop up like dandelions! Don’t pick on them or they’ll spread 🤘🏻😉
chet michael it’s okay, us “losers” don’t take offense. Glad to hear you are #winning in life.
How the hell is this only 160K, these interviews are better than most of the late night talk shows
Better than pretty much all late night talk shows
That's because those late night talk shows are all pre-discussed and rehearsed. Ever notice those blue cards that the hosts have on hand? Those are their questions to ask. The outlandish stories the guests tell are often cherry-picked and edited by outside factors (publicists, managers, producers, etc), and they don't really reflect how a real interview should go. All the host is trying to do is steer the conversation towards getting that answer from the guest, and do it in a humorous way. Why do they do this? Because it's _entertaining._ It's not because it's intellectually stimulating, interesting, or valuable. It's because it will get them more views - and more viewers - as a result.
Off Camera isn't here for our entertainment. It's here for our education.
Lucas Rodriguez because he lets them talk instead of Having to worry about commercial breaks or just caring about themselves over the guest he actually Is interested
Money.
What?! You mean to tell me its easier to have a discussion between two people, instead of an entertainment show taped in front of an active audience?
This is the most vulnerable Hader I have ever seen!
I love him
I was thinking the same. Really got to him to think back. When he talked about the disappointment of his mother bc he was rejected from the university - aaw, man! I really felt for him.
This interviewer creates a great environment to give a Dick Cavett style interview where you're not performing. Just relating.
Some how I get this. There's nothing wrong with you but your shyness. There's no drugs, no abuse just kinda quiet and unassuming, testing paths, looking for and/or finding your voice. Everyone thinks you're on something but you don't have the stones to tell them No that's not it...
Then one day the sun comes out.
Shyness is not wrong in itself, by the way. It has its pros as much as extrovertion.
I always enjoyed Bill's comedy, but what really caught my attention was seeing how versatile he is after playing a more serious role in Skeleton Twins. He'll always be a favorite of mine, and I'm so excited to see Barry.
Skeleton Twins is probably my favorite performance of his! It's so good.
See Barry too
#SkeletonTwins
“Wait Hader, you don’t smoke the doobage?” 😂
One of the greats. He needs more recognition.
Proof again that the road to success can be a winding road.
Don’t worry Bill, I got rejected from OU as well lol
I do like how Sam Jones actually lets the person talk without interrupting....rare nowadays.
This interviewer is great. He actually seems interested in learning more about the guest. Which for some reason is rare?
Ryan K. Creates i imagine some talk show hosts treating their show as work, even some of them who like to avoid that can't help themselves because they're on every single day.
Bill Hader went to some other community’s community college.
I kind of want to know what happened to Ryan Fischer.
I love Bill Hader so much it hurts. He seems like such an amazing person and his laugh is the cutest.
I’m from Oklahoma too. There’s a saying that’s an unspoken law here, “Let the lips of another praise you and not your own.” OU has more merit scholars per capita than any other public university. It’s very difficult to get into OU. Bill went to Edison Preparatory School in Tulsa, It’s very rigorous academically. Getting a D there would be B in another mediocre school. So he’s down playing himself to a certain extent. When he was on “Finding Your Roots,” and told he was the great grandson of King Edward I of England and Charlemagne he responded, “Charlemagne? I couldn’t even get the coffee maker to work this morning!” His self depreciation is charming.
This is the most relaxed and comfortable host i've ever seen. Loved him
Hader is really underrated. He is just so talented. He did a great job in "barry" and "documentary now". I wish he made more shows and movies because he is just great in writing and directing. Hollywood just has to let Bill do things he can and want to
I am pretty sure he'll make his way up to Hollywood. He's showing incredible talent as an actor, I'm baffled when I see him really.
That interviewer Sam Jones is so kind and genuinely appears interested in Bill Hader to such a degree that I feel like he's interesting in MY own well-being.
I came here from John Mulaney talking about doing drugs at high school but keeping up appearances, so it's weird to hear Hader talk about not doing drugs but everyone thinking that he did.
I want Bill Hader as a mentor.
"Wait, you don't smoke the doobage?" I feel that.
Oklahoma really messed with Bill Hader's head.
This place will fuck you up.
It honestly can get to you.
It makes me feel so much better knowing Bill Hader was a bad student.
So he went to LA to make films, “failed,” got into comedy by accident, and now writes/directs/stars in the most cinematic show on TV! Everything he did, including the crappy PA jobs, led him to this point. “Barry” is a masterpiece, and I can’t wait to see what he does next.
I really feel that last part.
Hearing him talk about how growing up in the midwest affected how he presented himself connected with me like crazy. As a Missouri boy I feel it big time.
@wonderfalls I think it's more about levelling everybody and not letting them dream, as far as I can see from the comments.
Great interview. These are the best interviews ever. It's real and not forced
IF YOU'RE FROM OKLAHOMA YOU KNOW WHAT HE MEANS ABOUT SAYING WHAT YOU WANT OUT LOUD.
Alex Scovill Wow, I never knew Oklahoma is like that. smh
Australia was like that too.
@@Plethorality Yup.
Oklahoma is totally like that. I feel like this whole place just wants to crush erbody's hopes and dreams. Or that you're not even supposed to have hopes and dreams to begin with. 😔
Kelly Adams At first I thought he meant like it was superstitious thing - don’t say what you want or it won’t happen. But that is much darker.
This was so inspiring. I’ve been losing my mind about the thought of not being anywhere or anyone later in life. I’m heading off to college this fall and Im incredibly nervous. But thanks to Bill, a part of life is to get lost on the path and I’ll be ok!
If I can hazard a suggestion : read Cal Newport's blogs and books about finding one's way. Especially "Be so good they can't ignore you". It can be life-changing
@kimberlycornetta +kimberlycornetta
Don't waste 4-6 years of your young life and hundreds of thousands of dollars - at interest - going to a damned college.
Go to a Jr College for a year or two, and take a S#!T ton of aptitude tests there. Keep your ears open and ask every counselor you can see lots of questions - women are normally great at 'networking' - then once you have an idea of what you think you'd be good at, and like doing, find a Union and go join.
4 years of school - usually two nights a week after busting your ass all day, all while earning a damned good wage working at different job sites.
Electricians now only have to work 5 years and they're vested, we carpenters - always lagging behind every other trade - have to work ten.
You will never hear or read about this, but the US has a dearth of skilled/technical workers.
Think non-traditional jobs (jobs guys normally do). Sheet metal worker, pipe or steam fitter - welder - heavy equipment operator - want to be an electrician? Know algebra and take a test or two and sign up at your local Electrician's Union.
Bill Hader is great he is super funny
After watching the first season and a half of Barry I would like to see what Hader can do behind the camera because he’s already one of the greatest on camera talents of all time
Bill Hader is actually a co-creator of the show! he writes and directs some of the episodes as well.
I think he's the best director of the show as well. He directed the surrealist episode and the season finale of season 2, the two best episodes of the show for me
@@LucasFerreira-kq3ye what is the surrealist episode?
@@floatingsara Season 2, Episode 5, "ronny/lily"
Soi thats why he is SO incredible with Barry, Never knew he originally was a film maker.
I'm not sure what "You were in danger of getting lost on some path," is supposed to mean except that he would have become one of the many talented people who never "make it," but still have valuable lives. Otherwise, great interview.
I think it's like, you were in danger of getting sidetracked spending your entire life in a job you never wanted to do. From the way Bill talks about it, a life as a PA or editor wasn't one that would feel valuable to him.
smoke the doobage
SeanOverseas the devils cabbage😤😤😤👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤤🤤💯🔥❌❌❌
Bill inspires me every day to do what I love and not worry so much about it working out. I have so much passion for all art and creative endeavors so I’m just going for it and doing whatever I feel drawn to and so much of that is because he melts away my anxiety about not being good enough.
Man, I'm the other way around. I studied film in NYC and now I'm in Oklahoma wishing I knew funny people. Knowing he came from here is inspiring in a way I don't think other people are feeling. Kinda love this dude.
These interviews made me feel like it will always work in the long run no matter what my dreams can come true
Of course your dreams will come true. Don't listen to any other voice. If you love it, you will do it.
@@debbeborders5762 awwww thank you soo much and you too btw💕💕
The interviewer is really good. Asks the questions then sits back and listen
He’s just so cute and wholesome and this whole interview was so interesting and helpful
Fuck me. THAT's his movie right there: his early life. He should honestly do that. I think people would really relate to that kind of story. I completely envisioned the movie as he told the anecdotes. I'd watch the shit outta that.
These interviews are so encouraging. Awesome channel.
Best interviewer ever. He gets these people to open up and let loose so easily. Fantastic.
Love him
I love the interviews on this channel (and Bill)
I can just hear him laugh for the rest of my life... so genuine
as someone who has lived in tulsa their whole life, it’s very accurate that people don’t ever really believe in you.
it’s very closed in and small town life, they never really want you to leave the place you grew up in and creativity never thrives.
I feel so relatable 'cause i know i dont have any opportunities to become what i want here in colombia, but still want to do something big. Anyway, this interview and most specifficaly Bill Hader gives me hope that being myself someday i will be doing what i love even if i cant do it yet, that's why bill hader is my idol. I dont care about being the best of my class, i just love movies and want to be an actor, maybe a writter idk yet but i dont want to be what people around me want me to be.
Congrats on finally hooked up that Vans sponsorship. Good to see you both rocking the jazz stripe.
watching this from my work office in sand springs ok......a small town about 10 minutes from tulsa
After seeing Hader talk elsewhere about how he might have done better in school if he knew how to manage his anxiety back then, I'm so curious to know what his work would have looked like if he'd been able to get into a good film school. We wouldn't know him from SNL, but surely his genius would have shone through in the screenplays he would have written in his 20s and 30s. Hopefully, he'll create a few films after Barry wraps up on HBO.
How do you get these people to be on your show?
This guy makes me laugh out loud, I enjoy his actual personality so much
I aspire to be like Bill some day. I'd like to work with him someday in the future too. I've always wanted to be a villain in a movie, a straight up monster in a horror film, and be as good as Hader or Sandler in a comedy.
I went to college with his high school girlfriend and had the pleasure of meeting him when he had that long hair. Truly one of the funniest people on earth!
Eu me identifiquei muito com a fala dele. Te amo Bill Hader
I’m from Oklahoma. He’s so right about that. It sounds ridiculous to say out loud something you want to do ESPECIALLY if it’s at all artistic.
My brother went to the same community college as Bill Hader (20 years after).
Didn't even realize Bill Hader went to that school until a year after my brother graduated. Apparently the school doesn't boast about their alumni. I don't know. I would think they would, especially an Emmy winning actor. 🤷🏼♀️
The best and most relatable interview yet.
@0:33 there was a long-running gag in the industry where a busboy or cocktail waitress would say something like: 'I'm an actor, or I want to act, but what I really want to do is direct.' You'll see that often in older tv shows & sometimes movies.
@0:15 Watch #Barry on HBO everyone!
@1:04 I don't think working 18 hour days - even traveling to Central America sometimes - qualifies as "just sitting around." :)
#BillHader is so self-effacing, so utterly humble. Besides being a walking Wikimedia,* he also enjoys music (he plays guitar and bass guitar) and he blows through I-pods.
It takes perseverance to keep fresh on the guitar. Two weeks of not fretting and you begin to lose your callouses.
He may not have his wife to attend to, but he has his 'Hader sisters' to raise & pick up from school & outings, doing non-stop press for Barry & soon Empress of Serenity, then getting some hoops and baseball time in.
Running on his treadmill takes time, meetings with agents, managers, studio people for different projects ... all this and season 4 he is directing all 8 episodes himself!
The thread that runs through everything? His dealing with anxiety. One of the things he does, besides TM and working out, to stay calm, is he self-medicates with sugar. Sugar not only keeps the spare tire from ever going away, but like alcohol (same thing once it's in your bloodstream), it severely messes with your mood.
Anyway ... I pray for Bill, I really really hope he doesn't burn out. An 11 year marriage was one victim, I don't want Bill, himself to be the next.
Those interviews are neat! keep it going guys!

Ze new
He’s so baby omg I wish I could go back in time and tell him it’s gonna be okay and he’s gonna do great ;-; I bet everyone that didn’t want anything to do with him now is regretting it so bad
"If you're boisterous at all, or confident its an ugly quality".
Wow, sounds exactly like where I grew up
I relate too much to the whole not doing well at school thing
the way I love this man, is unbelievable
Yessssss. Thank you or getting Bill Hader.
such a favorite on snl. i enjoyed everything he did. it's interesting to know he is such a reluctant comedian.
I love him. So humble.
You are a wonderful comedian I love stephon.
I'm from Tulsa just like he is what's funny I lived with his aunt 😂😂never met the dude though
Can you link the clips to the website's full episode relevant to that clip? It's hard to find and I lose interest trying to find the person I want to see amid the vast catalog of other celebs.
That’s how Quentin Tarratino got started, by sitting around and watching movies, from a movie rental store where he worked.
Lol! "The doobage" 🤣
I really love Sam Jones. He lets the guests speak and doesn't try to take the spotlight from them. I also love Bill Hader.
I can relate to this more than anything
somehow this interview was very inspiring and cute at the same time haha
“tiny school” my class has 10 kids 😂
Juicy b!!! Bobby Monaghan lol . Best skit he’s ever done
Sounds like me in high school
god I felt this.. maybe something big will happen for me too someday
This is mind-blowing.
Every time I see a Bill Nader interview..I love him more!
Sam: Off Camera!
Also Sam: *films it and puts it on RUclips*
I absolutely adore Bill Hader. 🥺
And to think he became one of the top 5 most talented SNL cast members of all time… this isn’t up for debate he is
Bill Hader always looks hungover to me
Living here in OK I see hit point. I wouldn’t change my main residence even though I have to keep it toned down so I don’t draw negative attention. It really depends on who you’re surrounded by. As eccentric and artsy as I am. The support is here. It’s more not being able to reach your goals because you kinda have to know someone that knows someone.
How did it turn out for Ryan Fisher?
I relate to him so so fuckin much
I wonder if the Dust Bowl experience has lasting collective effects in Oklahoma. An entire state's hopes and aspirations brushed aside in a torrent of failure and crippling debt. The fruited plain turned into a moonscape.
Man, he could not have been more accurate on the perception that Oklahoma's have towards genuinely confident Men. I can't speak for women on this one. I was born in OKC, raised in Dallas, Tx until 19.... Life has brought me back to the Oklahoma side. Many people over 45 years of age in Oklahoma do not like "extroverts". They cnstantly accuse people with great personalities of being arrogant when they are simply being themselves and are genuinely kind to others. I guess confidence mirrors the traits of arrogant douches that bullied people. It is a tough part of the culture to rationalize
i dont feel as bad
Bill's so sweet
how can one be so fucking humble
Man that gives me hope for my sad lil life
