Bill Hader Lost It During Kate McKinnon's 'SNL' Audition

[rodnelson]

Kate is one of the very best ever on SNL. And Bill Hader and Fred Armisen are also top shelf.

All these years later and Kate McKinnon is still the most relied upon cast member to make the show work. She's been the star of the majority of sketches ever since her first SNL season.

God I want to see a tape of that Kate McKinnon audition

[remyratatata]

they really asked bill hader 'try not to laugh' and expected it to work smh

[CoachingHigher]

What a treat it must have been to watch Kate's very first steps at SNL. A star was born!

[FrenkTheJoy]

It actually kind of makes sense that they aren't supposed to laugh during auditions - I think seeing how well a comedian can cope with nobody responding at all is a really good idea. Because some people get thrown off when nobody is laughing at all for so long, so seeing how well someone can keep going with NO audience response seems like it'd be a good way to see how well someone could cope with live tv.

Kate Mckinnon is the best. I don’t know how anyone can not laugh when she performs. She a comedy genius. Best thing to happen to SNL in a long time.

I love Bill Hader, he always makes me laugh & seems like he's a good guy & a good friend. He & John Mulaney are brilliant together.

Hard flex Bill: "Tina Fey laughed at my audition"

[louisjamin]

"This is the best job in the world...
- Yeah (with the face of a serial killer...)"

Kate McKinnon and Bill Hader are absolute stars of comedy, currently. I can’t wait to see when Kate branches out from SNL, more than she already has and is a mainstay with her own show or movies.

Kate was one of the best SNL decisions EVER made. And to have Bill and Jason supporting her. Oh, my heart is full. ❤️

How can you not love Bill Hader? Pure genius.

[rubberduckyofsteel]

my heart-rate doubled when i saw this. i love these two so much

[HisWordisLifeU]

Whenever I watch Hader there is always a palpable tension; I am worried he's gonna suddenly turn into the frilled lizard again.

[davesandhu]

He has an uncanny resemblance to the President of Hollywood.

I've rarely seen anyone as talented as Kate on SNL since the 1st days of the program. Most recently her Rudy Giuliani (how did she do those eyes), then, her Jeff Sessions, and Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
