Bill Hader's Failed 'SNL' Impression Is Still Amazing

Bill Hader was the king of impressions at “SNL,” but on Monday’s “Late Night” he talked to Seth Meyers about one particular impression that totally bombed.

During the interview, Hader revealed that the “SNL” dress rehearsal audience absolutely hated a sketch he wrote with John Mulaney about Bob Simon, a “60 Minutes” correspondent who the actor thinks gets stuck with a lot of terrible assignments.

In the end, the sketch never made it on the show, but after hearing Hader talk about going to cover Jaguar poaching in “hell-hole Africa,” it might be hard to figure out why.

“Late Night with Seth Meyers” airs weeknights at 12:35 a.m. ET on NBC.
