  • Bill Hader and his dark comedy “Barry” have again raked in a slew of Emmy nominations. In this episode of “The Envelope” podcast, Hader dishes on what it’s like to simultaneously star in, write for, direct and executive produce a high-profile TV series of his own creation. (While doing some high-emotion acting, he recalls, “I kind of induced a panic attack - which I do not recommend if you’re also directing.”)
    In this episode of "The Envelope" interview podcast, Hader also delves into how he transitioned from performing on “Saturday Night Live” to what he calls “real acting,” how it feels to shut down a freeway and why he laughs at the darkest moments.
    This episode was originally published July 26, 2022.

    This is like the PERFECT interview. I hope he does this for S4 as well. I’m glad RUclips is pushing BARRY into the algorithm. It needs WAY more recognition and I can’t wait to see S4.

    I can’t imagine anything as frightening as riding a motorcycle on an LA freeway. That really freaked me out.

    I honestly didn’t enjoy how the interviewer asked Bill question after question. It feels very dry, like a quiz, rather than a curious conversation. It would have been much more pleasant to listen to, if Bill would be asked to expand on some of his points. It’s distant and very impersonal. Either way, it was great hearing him speak about his show and regardless of the structure of the podcast, you can tell he is passionate.

      Damn you have high standards.. at least bill enjoyed the interview

      @@Salamander676 yeah I know it’s sort of pretentious… but it’s just an opinion after all.
      Of course bill seemed to enjoy it, I bet he’s proud of his work and finally, after so many years, getting to direct and write. Was still enjoyable to listen to.

    The interviewer reminds me of a 15yr.old boy writing for the High School paper. Very nervous & disengaged because he is reading directly from questions he prepared prior. Also, if he used the phrase "Like" one more time!!!

    Remember "acting is truth," "use it," "you don't have to know what child molestation is like, you just have to know what it's like to hurt someone."
    Bill Hader really hurt someone and he's using it...duh? I mean I wouldn't have even wondered if it wasn't brought up 15 times as what acting is, and then it kinda went nowhere, for Barry, if not Bill Hader? What's "murder"? It's the worst thing Bill Hader ever did to someone. Here's what it might be:
    "Can you give me ANYTHING?"--Sally to Barry, in that scene that won the Emmy, after he murders his old marine buddy, with the agent in the audience.
    The biggest literary agent in the world had requested my novel--the real "Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs" from "South Park." The book that makes you puke, that's inexplicably REALLY good. Bill Hader was there, in the "South Park" writer's room.
    That was a parody of a real book--that's why that episode made no sense, and people still ask Google if it's real, somehow. I had mailed it to the voice of Towelie. I thought I had enough evidence (there's even more, now.) But nobody believed it? Or understood? Or cared?
    "Guys, this is MY LIFE. I don't want to sue you. It's the coolest thing in the world. Salman Rushdie's agent requested it because this literary genius Stanford neuroscientist basically said 'I think it's like the best thing I've ever read?' like an idiot, like the episode. He's talented, you guys are actually talented, this book is weird and nobody ever thought it would sell, it means EVERYTHING TO ME. I love you. 'They did a 'South Park' about it' already makes it more relevant to pop culture than 1,000 pieces of shit no one cares about that won literary awards. Can you give me ANYTHING?"
    Cold. Under orders, like the Macbeth scene from Season 1--"South Park" guys didn't want to get sued or then, have it be known they were dicks like that. Unfortunately for their personal brands, they just can't help themselves: they put everything in the show. From my book, to Bill Hader screaming at Trey Parker about his personal brand in 2012--fucking me over really upset him (which might be hilarious over at "South Park" since Bill Hader is now terrified about his personal "Barry" brand as "he's really the world's biggest dirtbag, that's what that show was about"--really not my intention, though.) To you feeble-minded dolts who just think the TV is talking to me / can barely even read (my name is "Rick"--the season finale of "South Park" was just saying my name as much as possible--48 times, tied with "a"--the TV is literally talking to me!)
    Bill Hader felt like he murdered the guy who wrote the real "Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs," which is actually called "Bebe's Tale" (like the "South Park" character,) which is why the character Bebe beat the shit out of Butters' "personal brand" last season. Butters sometimes stood for Bill Hader! They were worried this story would make them look like dicks! But between "Barry" and "South Park," I don't know which series of confessions is more obvious?
