Watch Bill Hader Meet His Idol, Dateline's Keith Morrison, For The 1st Time | Sunday TODAY

[TREYCEMONE]

Bill was struck, he couldn't even look at Keith, he was in pure heaven.

[Stabsnipers]

Girl: I didn't do this.
Bill: She was _fully_ involved with this.

May all of us experience happiness on the level of Bill Hader meeting Keith Morrison

[iansmith]

“So your dad shot you in the face... that must have been pretty wild...” 😂

[lindsays]

My all-time favorite joke Hader has done as Keith Morrison is:

“You found your brother in the trunk, eh? Was he alright?”

[richardskinner]

It is SO cool watching Hader act like a little kid meeting his idol. So genuine. Really enjoyed this clip.

[leeza]

oh when he said "it was pretty rad" in that tiny voice I fully cried

[livh]

bill: "I cant give him pointers, he's the perfect- most- he's the dont know how you get better than kEITH MORRISON!!!"

I love how anyone who meets an idol instantly becomes the 10 year old version of themselves. Bills explanation of the history of the impression had that rambling excited energy of a child showing off their latest trick/accomplishment for their favorite aunt/uncle that they never get the chance to see because they live on the other side of the country. Super heartwarming.

Seeing Bill’s pure joy throughout this video cleansed my skin.

[annafranklin]

Please someone make a whole show of making Bill Hader's dreams coming true. It's wondrous to watch!

[vvebvvaster]

As a fellow Dateline fan, it's just comforting to know there's someone else out there who knows and loves the quirky, beautiful oddities of delivery brought by Keith and Lester.

[scatzercoman]

Bill is going to have a "Keanu Reeves" moment two or three years from now...

And he deserves it

[isla]

when he said “that was pretty rad” in tiny letters. ok baby.

[BlueHooloovoo]

I'm so glad that Keith Morrison is the exception to the saying, "Never meet your heroes". Bill was so happy to meet his idol, and his idol appreciated him back. So cool.

[JGMorris]

"That pesky DNA" that's definitely a Keith Morrison line

[sandwedge]

So you met Keith Morrison... that must have been wild!

[Naptastic_voyage]

I think Bill's impressions of Keith are so good because they come from a place of genuine admiration. Super fun to see them together!

[maelee]

he can’t even look at him because he’s so star struck omg

[jenni]

Bill Hader is such a Keith Morrison fan girl. I love how hard he is geeking out. He's met so many famous people and this is him star struck... by Keith Morrison.
