    • @overlydramaticpanda
      @overlydramaticpanda 4 года назад +54

      ​@@minioop2 I mean, realistically it's probably a mixture of both, but at least part of it is definitely down to anxiety. Bill's said in a few interviews how anxious he got on a regular basis while doing SNL. In the second Stefon appearance especially there's several signs that point to him being at least on the verge of an anxiety attack - he rushes through a lot of his lines, he fidgets quite a lot (not just the normal 'Stefon' tic of fixing his hair and covering his face but he seems to constantly be wanting to occupy his hands with something), his voice is at a slightly higher pitch and a little strained right from the start, his hands and arms are shaking (quite badly at one point), he doesn't laugh as much as normal, his body language is very defensive (again, more than normal), and he throws in a "please" in response to Seth saying he'll wrap things up.
      Still, as a fellow performer who suffers from anxiety attacks, I hugely admire him for powering through it and disguising it well enough for this to even be a debate. Apparently there were several instances of him having panic attacks either just before or even during sketches while he was on SNL and I swear you'd never know anything about it if he hadn't admitted it. The man's a powerhouse...

    Love Bill Hader for Stefon, but we should give props to Seth Meyers for not breaking during any of Hader's shenanigans. You'd have to have a pretty good grip on yourself not to break. Also, when Seth says, "Relax, buddy you're gonna do great." I feel as though he's speaking to Hader, not Stefon. Bill, as we know, has a history of crippling stage fright.

      he was shaking during the skit before that one too :-; however, the stefon skits are probably best case scenario for having an attack on tv and having to perform through it - sitting there, reading hilarious descriptions (that he genuinely seems to laugh at) and the only other person performing with him is a friend. it also helps that stefon’s normally odd behavior masks most of it. it would’ve been much worse if he was doing another skit while walking around and with more people.

    I never realized that Bill Hader had such bad anxiety. When I watched these clips I just thought it was part of Stefon’s character that he was so jittery and shy

      but bill hader has done loads of skits in which hes cracked up but hes never been anxious. im like 99% sure it's part of the character since the role is literally someone who is anxious to be on the show

    After learning about Hader's anxiety plus panic attacks it got a little hard watching those first few stefon skits. You can tell how anxious he Is - especially at 4:48 when he looks as if he's panicking a little. I have anxiety and horrible panic attacks so i know how he feels :(

      He started by getting panic attacks and Anxiety from being a correspondent on Weekend Update, to writing, directing and Starring in his own Critically Acclaimed show on HBO (Barry, which I may add, he does an AMAZING job acting in. You really see his range in that show and his ability to control a scene🤌🏽. He is tha 🐐of his SNL CLASS.

    Pretty sure I recall reading somewhere awhile back where one time on SNL Bill’s anxiety was so bad during one skit he was actually suffering a blinding migraine, and had to be helped around the set by the others...I can’t imagine bein’ in that situation, especially as I’ve had migraines in the past, and have ended up in the ER every time due to how sick I got.
