@@DemonicMailman Granted, only enough to form a hasty opinion it seems. So, I'll give his work another chance then. If you can write Stefon, you certainly have an edge:). Thanks for letting me know.
@@arshgoyal6323 Sorry, I don't buy the argument about how looks define what comedy you can do. Sarah Silverman is as rowdy as they get, Bob Saget looks defies how savage his comedy can be.

Anyways, I think we have to just put this down to personal preference. I spent some more time looking at Mulaney on the tube and while I will always love what he did with Stefon, what I have seen of him so far in his own acts is still a too soft for my own personal taste. It's cool that you and many others find him great, though. There's someone for all of us out there;)
And Bill wants it that way, because not knowing, makes the reactions and laughs more genuine. So he doesn't read the script/lines on purpose beforehand. Breaking character, became part of the Stefon character.
So much of this is wrong! lol, it's just a prank John would pull. He doesn't write the cue cards, Bill DOES read the scrips, and John DOES tell Bill what he changed, specifically so that he doesn't mess up reading them blind. It's still hilarious, but you're blowing it way out of proportion.
At first I thought it was like a nervous tic for Stefan, then as the breaking got worse and worse I realized it was a way to cover. But it's such a Stefan way to do it.
@@the6ig6adwolf He and Mulaney wrote it together. But the parts where he messed up, Mulaney had changed prior to without telling him. He'd tell him as he was walking out to the desk, "Yo, Bill, I changed a couple things." He did an interview on it.
when bill tries to make that surprised face on the californians and realized how ridiculous he looks and breaks i lose my shit... ive watched it like 20 times and it always makes me cry

This is such a dumb comment! This year is NOT A DISASTER CALM DOWN, MANY ACTUAL DISASTERS WILL COME. This is nothing yet, stop all whining and crying wtf? Just say this is funny so and so, or just laugh. Always these "opinions" that think they are stating facts...
Bill Hader really took advantage of the fact that this show was LIVE. You felt like he was really feeding off the energy of the crowd. I know he was anxious a lot but he seemed to use it to energize his acting because he always found a way to make something spontaneous about his performance. This, in my opinion, is way he deserves to be known as one of the best SNL cast members of all time.
I'm not American and I've never been to California, so I don't really "get" the humour. That said, I laugh anyway because no one can keep a straight face :)
Honestly Bill Hader breaking is the vibe SNL needs to strive for. He broke pretty easily but it rarely felt distracting or unprofessional like when Fallon did. It was usually because something actually very funny was happening and it almost always made me laugh even harder.
That's exactly how I feel, but with Leslie & Pete. They break so unprofessionally it's not enjoyable to watch. But bill, bill is a treasure who cracks at the peak of the skits.
Every time he says the word "midget" I am reminded of the John Mulaney skit where John said he wasn't supposed to say midget in the scripts and I think that's the funniest part of it
@@bellalind6410 they did! They told him he wasn’t allowed to put it in. And he did last minute without telling Bill (watch the very first time Bill as Stefon says the word! You can see him thinking “oh s**t, we’re going to get into so much trouble!” When he sees the line.) because nothing happened, no complaints despite them both getting told off afterwards he kept adding the jokes/word every so often. They know that they wouldn’t get away with it nowadays which is why they wrote his lawyer Shy into the script when Bill and John brought the character back when Bill first hosted, and changed it to “little people!”
I love that so many of the jokes are clearly written to make Bill specifically laugh. A lot of viewers probably don't even recognize fairly arcane 90s references like Dan Cortese and Spud Webb, but if you're Bill Hader's age (as I am), that level of specificity in pop culture knowledge is hilarious.

Bill Hader is one of the most naturally giggly humans to ever exist. Check out his interviews with Conan, for example. I have no idea how he ever made it through any sketches without breaking.
90% of the time, when bill is playing stefan, the producers don’t let him see what the script is so he reads it for the first time while doing the scene.
Props have to be given to John Mulaney's writing. The joke structure alone is hilarious, but the completely random set ups are just so good. "A CVS, that became a Chase Bank, and then became a CVS again" shouldn't be so damn funny but it is. "Opened at gun point" and "built on a dare" are also some favorites.
@@abed_gambino0946 Haha I can see that, the jokes tend to be slanted to American pop culture. For some reason in America big cities have a habit of converting CVS drug stores (which are on like every corner in the states) to a bank, but then they'll just go around and randomly convert them back to a CVS a year later. We're weird.
All the times Bill Hader broke as Stefon, he managed to keep the voice. It took John Mulaney himself to actually go out on stage and make Bill break the voice 😂
Fallon: "HAHA... This is so funny! Isn't this setting up to be funny, you guys?! OMG, this is gonna be so funny! Wait till you hear what's so funny!!" Hader: "Ha... ha... (goddammit, lemme get through this sentence, PLEASE! Great, now I'm crying.)"
She doesn't think it's funny at. all. that he's ruining the storied institution that is SNL for all time with his inability to stay in character. The whole time she's thinking, 'Wait til I tell Lorne about this latest incident.'
@@rusmiller816 actually you're totally wrong. When she is about to break character by laughing she will purse her lips and press her teeth against her bottom lip to prevent her from busting out laughing. You could see she does it twice in here and in several other skits and she even talks about it. To the point where it looks like an overbite
Vanessa Bayer is a total pro. She maintained her composure while everyone else was cracking up and even dared Bill Hader to try to act as professionally as her.
I cannot tell you how many times I've watched this video. It always brings me out of a bad mood. Bill Hader has always been my favorite SNL cast member.
Imagine the feeling you'd get if you were the writer who wrote the Stephan-skits and Bill Hader thinks the writing is so fucking funny that just seeing the words on a teleprompter makes him crack upå and break character. Pretty good praise for a comedic writer.
It’s Stefon not Stephen. And it was actually Bill and John not just John who created and wrote Stefon’s lines. Bill knew them off by heart until John decided to start fxxking with Bill and would deliberately add or change lines between live recorded dress rehearsal and actual live show! Don’t mean to sound or come across as rude and I apologize if I do but I wish people would give credit where it’s due. Everyone talking like John came up with and wrote all Stefon’s lines when that’s not true Bill and John created the character and wrote his lines. You just know from Bill’s face which lines are new because you see him look like “what the fxxk?” And looks mortified most of the time like the Vernon Troyer wedding line or a lot of the Midget jokes! The Michael Jackson joke is one of the funniest because you can see he really doesn’t want to say what’s written and actually looks like he wants to run off. The audience reaction to his and Seth’s faces gave away something was coming but didn’t know what because they both pull the same face at the same time. That still has me rolling when I think about it or come across the video! You can see they’re both thinking “too far John, too far!” Bill even try’s stalling to get himself prepared because they didn’t know how people was going to take that joke. It’s hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣 Edit: also a fun fact. Stefon was actually meant too be dressed the way Shy/John was dressed. They didn’t have a clue what Ed Hardy was, they thought it was some sex clothing line until the wardrobe department got the actual tops. So in homage to what he was meant to look like John went to a sex store with the wardrobe department and got an outfit that Bill was actually meant too wear as the character!) th-cam.com/video/eLZBFb8ic0Y/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/V_uMssfSvho/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/_C14eXiZQWo/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/aWv7x5mJMA4/w-d-xo.html

3:34 is my favorite because I'm fairly certain that Bill just echoed Fred without thinking as a sort of improvisation, and then immediately realized how ridiculous it sounded and it cracked him up out of nowhere.
@@swapnilmankame Strangely, while I acknowledge that Bayer held the best straight face, I give her no credit for the accomplishment. For whatever reason, it seems to me that she just looks like she never laughs.
Healthy and Loving Life part of the reason he breaks so easily is because the other writers (especially John Mulaney) changes/adds jokes last second from what they practice to catch him off guard when he reads from the teleprompter because they know he will break lmao
By now most people know that John Mulaney would add things to the cards to make Hader break, but I like that at 9:49 Bill was expecting John to speak in a soft effeminate voice like Stefan but instead just spoke in his regular classic-Mulaney voice which made him break as well.
The entire Human Suitcase bit is just pure gold: - 7:56 Seth had to compose himself and not laugh out loud because he knew what came next, I guess he had a bit of a laugh during the table read when this part came up. - 8:00 Bill progressively losing it as he explained what a Human Suitcase is. - 8:06 Seth yelling "Stefon!" after the bit. And all in the space of just 10 seconds.
i am so happy to be alive, as a functioning adult, to see and get all these jokes live at the time. and to re-watch it now, floods me with great memories
Bill Hader's character breaks are the best. They seem genuine, and are funny as hell! Other cast members sometimes seem forced or faked to get a laugh.
I think it's more charming with Bill because he's clearly trying his absolute best not to break, but the harder he tries the stronger the break ends up becoming. Phil Hartman has to be the gold standard for not breaking no matter what kind of craziness was going on.
"And someone from the network came down to our offices and said 'Hey, you can't put the word midget on TV.' And I said 'I sure would like to.' And he said 'No, midget is as bad as the N word!' 'First off, no. No, it's not. Do you know how I know it's not?' I said to him, 'Is because we're both saying the word midget, and we 're not even saying what the N word is. If you're comparing the badness of two words, and you won't even say one of them, that's the worse word.'" "So we get into this argument. We're going back and forth. 'You can't put that word on TV.' I said 'I want to!' He said 'If you put that word on TV, there could be a protest of midgets on this building.' And I said 'Promise?'"
@@Nat_the_Chicken The quote is of the bit that he said in one of his shows; what I meant to say is this skit was probably what John was talking about when he made that bit and that I'm glad I wasn't the only one who remembered that
Vanessa Bayer is fantastic, but I love how Martin Short pauses and stares at Bill when he sees he's going to break. Like, "I know what is happening and I'm absolutely going to make it worse for you" 😂
The crazy thing is that when he breaks a Stefon he still stays so much as Stefon. Maybe Bill Hader is just a character Stefon likes to play in daily life...
Did Bill Hader ever make it through a Stefon skit *without* breaking? I don't think so, but please correct me if I'm wrong. IMO, the breaking was part of why it worked.
@@dandanb411 John Mulaney was a Stefon writer. He talks about making him break character when he was interviewed on the tonight show. I think it was the tonight show. Not 100% sure. Hilarious character.
Stefan is supposed to play the funniest role, with funniest dialogues and a whole room of people are looking at him and laughing. How is he not supposed to break his character 😂
"A doorman who always high-fives children of divorce" is still one of my favorite sentences of all-time.

It’s so without context but full of genuine imagery I adore it.
For peeps who didnt know. John Mulaney would change Bill Haders lines moments before he went on as Stefon, the character was meant for him to break.

LMAOO
Seriously I only know of this Dan Cortez guy because of him
The way he puts his hands over his mouth when he breaks just SENDS me
He breaks so much with Stefan because he doesn't know what the script is yet. So it's the writers springing funny shit on him.
Where though?
Keeping character while breaking character.
At first I thought it was like a nervous tic for Stefan, then as the breaking got worse and worse I realized it was a way to cover. But it's such a Stefan way to do it.
I actually love it lol. Bill has such a feminine way about him and I adore it lol 😂😍
for those who can't make it out, when John Mulaney whispers into Bill's ear at 9:58, he says "my girlfriend works at Yoshinoya Beef Bowl" lmao

spazmonkey1974 he didn’t..
Or the Barry 92Y thing, he was literally cry laughing
I will love him until the day I am dust in the wind
Honestly part of why I think Barry is so great. He does an amazing job of making the show feel really serious and powerful, while silly AF between.
90% of the time, when bill is playing stefan, the producers don’t let him see what the script is so he reads it for the first time while doing the scene.
This comment section has everything. Funny comments, skunks and Dan Cortez.
It’s SPICY
Where’s the skunk?😳
@@Mergatroid_Skittle I thought they were being redundant and mentioned Dan Cortez twice
Roman J Israel, Esq.
A CHILD...
Props have to be given to John Mulaney's writing. The joke structure alone is hilarious, but the completely random set ups are just so good. "A CVS, that became a Chase Bank, and then became a CVS again" shouldn't be so damn funny but it is. "Opened at gun point" and "built on a dare" are also some favorites.
This video has everything!
Flubs, giggles, breaks, awkward moments, Dan Cortese......
& it's the fact Stephan's character says it 😂🤣
Mine too!! 🎄🎁🎄🤣🤣
as a non-american, i have no idea whats going on lol
@@abed_gambino0946 Haha I can see that, the jokes tend to be slanted to American pop culture. For some reason in America big cities have a habit of converting CVS drug stores (which are on like every corner in the states) to a bank, but then they'll just go around and randomly convert them back to a CVS a year later. We're weird.
All the times Bill Hader broke as Stefon, he managed to keep the voice. It took John Mulaney himself to actually go out on stage and make Bill break the voice 😂
Jimmy Fallon makes it look like he's laughing in skits for attention.
With Hader you can tell it's genuine.
I guess when Jimmy Fallon is on somebody should laugh!
Just what I was thinking; thanks!
Agree
Fallon: "HAHA... This is so funny! Isn't this setting up to be funny, you guys?! OMG, this is gonna be so funny! Wait till you hear what's so funny!!"
Hader: "Ha... ha... (goddammit, lemme get through this sentence, PLEASE! Great, now I'm crying.)"
fallon really doesn't, if anything looks like it's being done for attention, it's the amount of hate towards him.
Every time Bill Hader laughs an angel gets it wings
They gotta be running out of angels at this point
That's a lot of angels lol
Why can't he fly yet? He's a treasure😇
"It's that thing where a midget wears roller-skates and wears all your clothes and you pull him around the airport....." dead.
The fact that Vanessa Bayer was able to keep her composure so well when staring right at Bill is amazing!
it's kind of my favourite thing, her looking at him so inquisitively while he absolutely loses his shit. lololol.
She doesn't think it's funny at. all. that he's ruining the storied institution that is SNL for all time with his inability to stay in character. The whole time she's thinking, 'Wait til I tell Lorne about this latest incident.'
@@rusmiller816 actually you're totally wrong. When she is about to break character by laughing she will purse her lips and press her teeth against her bottom lip to prevent her from busting out laughing. You could see she does it twice in here and in several other skits and she even talks about it. To the point where it looks like an overbite
Vanessa Bayer is a total pro. She maintained her composure while everyone else was cracking up and even dared Bill Hader to try to act as professionally as her.
Mikey Day, too. Almost seen him crack in the aunt Jemima sketch, but he hasn’t yet.
He got her to break, just a little, in the puppet sketch. But yeah, her discipline is amazing.
She's got the cutest smile
totally agree
Maybe she just doesn't have the giggles. Hader has the worst case of the giggles i've ever seen.
I cannot tell you how many times I've watched this video. It always brings me out of a bad mood. Bill Hader has always been my favorite SNL cast member.
There's nothing so pure as the sound of Bill Hader's laughter.
My favorite thing
I’m in love with the fact that simply saying “Dan Cortese” is the entire joke in itself. Sorry Dan.
I genuinely would love to just have a beer with Bill Hader. He seems like a down to earth, funny guy. These videos are great.
"This woman raised me and changed my diapers"
"LuCkY LaDy"
"You can't say midget on TV"
"Well I sure would like to"
Which leads to game of thrones
Yes! Haha
“If you say midget on air their will be a big protest by midgets at this building” and I said “Promise?”
Imagine the feeling you'd get if you were the writer who wrote the Stephan-skits and Bill Hader thinks the writing is so fucking funny that just seeing the words on a teleprompter makes him crack upå and break character.
Pretty good praise for a comedic writer.
Apparently John Mulaney
Roxaswright John mulaney likes to change his lines before he goes on so they surprise him
JOHN MULANEY
It’s Stefon not Stephen. And it was actually Bill and John not just John who created and wrote Stefon’s lines. Bill knew them off by heart until John decided to start fxxking with Bill and would deliberately add or change lines between live recorded dress rehearsal and actual live show! Don’t mean to sound or come across as rude and I apologize if I do but I wish people would give credit where it’s due. Everyone talking like John came up with and wrote all Stefon’s lines when that’s not true Bill and John created the character and wrote his lines. You just know from Bill’s face which lines are new because you see him look like “what the fxxk?” And looks mortified most of the time like the Vernon Troyer wedding line or a lot of the Midget jokes! The Michael Jackson joke is one of the funniest because you can see he really doesn’t want to say what’s written and actually looks like he wants to run off. The audience reaction to his and Seth’s faces gave away something was coming but didn’t know what because they both pull the same face at the same time. That still has me rolling when I think about it or come across the video! You can see they’re both thinking “too far John, too far!” Bill even try’s stalling to get himself prepared because they didn’t know how people was going to take that joke. It’s hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣
Edit: also a fun fact. Stefon was actually meant too be dressed the way Shy/John was dressed. They didn’t have a clue what Ed Hardy was, they thought it was some sex clothing line until the wardrobe department got the actual tops. So in homage to what he was meant to look like John went to a sex store with the wardrobe department and got an outfit that Bill was actually meant too wear as the character!)

3:34 is my favorite because I'm fairly certain that Bill just echoed Fred without thinking as a sort of improvisation, and then immediately realized how ridiculous it sounded and it cracked him up out of nowhere.
Kristen being the only one to hold a moderately straight face while everyone else dissolved around her is the best thing
You mean Vanessa Bayer?
@@swapnilmankame Strangely, while I acknowledge that Bayer held the best straight face, I give her no credit for the accomplishment. For whatever reason, it seems to me that she just looks like she never laughs.
The king of straight face is Will Forte.
He breaks so easily! He's one of my fave SNL people.
Healthy and Loving Life I ❤️ when they break up! Except Jimmy Fallon.
He's one of my favorites as well, there are a lot of good people on SNL though, A lot of older sketches are really good too.
Healthy and Loving Life part of the reason he breaks so easily is because the other writers (especially John Mulaney) changes/adds jokes last second from what they practice to catch him off guard when he reads from the teleprompter because they know he will break lmao
“They just want you to meet someone nice and settle down....”
Always cracks me up
Bill Hader breaking character: EVERY SKIT HE"S EVER BEEN IN
No that's Jimmy Fallon
Kal Sium Pete Davidson?
Bill Hader has the most infectious laugh and I love these skits
By now most people know that John Mulaney would add things to the cards to make Hader break, but I like that at 9:49 Bill was expecting John to speak in a soft effeminate voice like Stefan but instead just spoke in his regular classic-Mulaney voice which made him break as well.
2:33 A doorman who always high fives children of divorce ... lol His expression on his face is priceless
"Have you heard of Blackula, the Black Dracula? Well there's a Jewish one. Sydney Applebaum" is still my favorite
Yessssss
I'm sad they didn't include that one. Bill broke so hard during that XD
Yes I actually clicked on the video to see that one but nope 😔
i'm a simple girl, i see bill hader breaking, i click.
Same
Same
No, I'm a simple girl, dammit.
Oh I see this is the non humor crowd.
Ray Rines damn who hurt you😬
I just love Bill Hader. He makes me laugh when I’m sad.
He breaks character so much it becomes a part of his character
Did Mulaney whisper to Bill “My girlfriend works at Yoshinoya Beef Bowl?”
YES HE STATED THAT ON AN OUTSIDE INTERVIEW AHHH
Oh my GOODNESS- I had Yoshinoya in Japan, and also in San Diego. So, so good!
Time stamp
Time stamp of this is 9:57 btw
¡casdean! Lol Bill is like wtf..?
It’s so great that even when he laughs as Stefan, he stays in character
I throw that SPICY line out randomly and no one gets it at all... really makes me seem crazy but it killed me the first time I saw it
Random Dude 😂
Me too buddy
I have it set as my notification sound 🤣
It’s my ringtone. 😂
Nice.
He simply cant do it. His attempts at composer are contagious. Its nearly impossible to watch him without smiling or laughing.
Not everyone can be a musician, my lord. :)
Composure *
and i have watched this more than 8-10 times,, and im an hooked,,, i laugh everytime,,,way 2 funny
The entire Human Suitcase bit is just pure gold:
- 7:56 Seth had to compose himself and not laugh out loud because he knew what came next, I guess he had a bit of a laugh during the table read when this part came up.
- 8:00 Bill progressively losing it as he explained what a Human Suitcase is.
- 8:06 Seth yelling "Stefon!" after the bit.
And all in the space of just 10 seconds.
It's funny when bill hader does it but not when jimmy fallon does it.
Edit: never expected this comment to skyrocket but I'm glad we all agree
Because he does it on purpose, not genuine. Fake ass
Agreed!
Well Jimmy Fallon's comes off as insincere or forced, I think thats why people dislike it so much.
Fallon does it non stop.
i disagree the hot tub luvahs skit with will going “dave. dave. david.” and jimmy laughing is one of my favorite breaks of all time.
A doorman who always high fives children of divorce 😂😂😂😂
i am so happy to be alive, as a functioning adult, to see and get all these jokes live at the time. and to re-watch it now, floods me with great memories
Bill Hader's character breaks are the best. They seem genuine, and are funny as hell! Other cast members sometimes seem forced or faked to get a laugh.
I think it's more charming with Bill because he's clearly trying his absolute best not to break, but the harder he tries the stronger the break ends up becoming. Phil Hartman has to be the gold standard for not breaking no matter what kind of craziness was going on.
"And someone from the network came down to our offices and said 'Hey, you can't put the word midget on TV.' And I said 'I sure would like to.' And he said 'No, midget is as bad as the N word!' 'First off, no. No, it's not. Do you know how I know it's not?' I said to him, 'Is because we're both saying the word midget, and we 're not even saying what the N word is. If you're comparing the badness of two words, and you won't even say one of them, that's the worse word.'"
"So we get into this argument. We're going back and forth. 'You can't put that word on TV.' I said 'I want to!' He said 'If you put that word on TV, there could be a protest of midgets on this building.' And I said 'Promise?'"
That's what I thought so, too! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought this
@@Chabeinator I think it's a quote of another sketch, I don't think it's a serious comment. "Midget" is still kinda non-PC...
@@Nat_the_Chicken The quote is of the bit that he said in one of his shows; what I meant to say is this skit was probably what John was talking about when he made that bit and that I'm glad I wasn't the only one who remembered that
@@Chabeinator Oh wow sorry, I totally misinterpreted that
@@Nat_the_Chicken all good!
Vanessa Bayer is fantastic, but I love how Martin Short pauses and stares at Bill when he sees he's going to break. Like, "I know what is happening and I'm absolutely going to make it worse for you" 😂
"My girlfriend works at yoshinoya beef bowl" -John Mulaney
Is that what he whispered into Bill's ear?
Yes
Thanks. I couldn't catch the last part
I don’t think I’ve smiled and laughed this much in a long time. My face hurts from it. Thank you for posting this!
"A doorman who always high-fives children of divorce..."
It takes a lot to make me laugh so hard I fall off the toilet. Well done!!
"The newest, most trendy place in town is called........Kevin......... ...?"
I can confirm
@@bodaciousskies hi Kevin
Everytime I see Bill Hader I can’t believe his transformation into playing Barry. Crazy talented.
It’s so funny that you can tell which jokes are Mulaneys
This guy’s funny, he should on SNL or something.
You, too.
Did they reboot SNL? I watched the entire series, 1975-1982.
@@Galahad54 Thanks, granddad.
damn right he should be
This compilation made me laugh harder than any modern SNL skit
And to think this guy scares the hell out of me in Barry. Talent.
3:39 I am constantly so impressed at how vanessa bayer can keep her composure in these sketches truly a superhuman
very subpar
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Bill! So Grateful for his humor! He's brilliant! Never laughed this hard since the 70 days on SNL !
“Human suitcase” is probably my favorite one! No other one ever made me laugh as hard as that one did!
Lmmfao mine too
It's hilarious picturing it!
I thought the “Jewish Dracula” was the best joke I’ve ever heard on SNL, and he lost it when he said it..... How was that not in this compilation??
WAS LITERALLY ABOUT TO POST THIS
"Sidney Applebaum" (Bill collapses)
A definite favourite :-D
The reason why he broke so hard on Jewish Dracula is that he absolutely butchered Sidney Applebaum's name.
I beg your pardon, but the Jewish Cupids is the best one :-P😁
His pronunciation of “SPICY” has lived in my head rent-free since it aired.
The crazy thing is that when he breaks a Stefon he still stays so much as Stefon. Maybe Bill Hader is just a character Stefon likes to play in daily life...
I love when he reads the line then questions to himself “wtf did I just say?”
Whenever I have a bad day I watch this and it always cheers me up - especially the way Kirsten wiig says “ jammed “ 😂
3:20 It's so adorable the way that Hader wipes the slushy out of Wiig's eyes. That's a solid friend.
Imagine trying to stay in character during all this then having to stop laughing when a room full of people are also laughing
Thank you SO much for this compilation. Totally made my day!!
Did Bill Hader ever make it through a Stefon skit *without* breaking? I don't think so, but please correct me if I'm wrong. IMO, the breaking was part of why it worked.
the character was meant for him to break, they changed his lines right before he went on
@@dandanb411 John Mulaney was a Stefon writer. He talks about making him break character when he was interviewed on the tonight show. I think it was the tonight show. Not 100% sure. Hilarious character.
new cue cards are put up when he goes on. it is what makes the skits so funny. it wouldn't be nearly as funny if he didnt' break
I think the first ever sketch with Ben Affleck he didn't break
Yea, you can tell it's last minute bc:
*"Dan Cortez?"* 😆😂😂
kristens “it’s gonna be jammed” gets me every damn time.
Stefan is supposed to play the funniest role, with funniest dialogues and a whole room of people are looking at him and laughing. How is he not supposed to break his character 😂
I swear, I always laugh harder at the breaking character compilation than I do at the actual sketches.
2:03 “barrack, mitt...” 🤣😂 shit is just so stupid but has me so dead
i only understand like 30% of the jokes but they just become funny because bill is telling them lmao
