He knew _"lay it on me my man what went down?"_ was going to break him. He was breaking in advance of the coming hilariousness.

"I'm not gonna take reporter lessons from a can of hairspray"

[LRS]

Lol, that "pull it together Herb" was actually "put it together Bill Hader", lol...

[cunegonde]

Who knew the soft thud of a live mic to a person’s face could be so hilariously satisfying?

[ciaartin]

This portrayal is so complete that I can smell the cigars on Herb.

2:42 Bill is just now seeing what's on the card, and Keenan's like "Yup, Mulaney's about to make you sound racist."

[mistersydster]

Bill and Kenan always crack up around each other.

[josaloni]

"Hold together Herb!!" hahaha Bill is awesome

[driver]

2:47 'hold it together' meant for Bill Hader himself of course!
