Watch Bill Hader try not to slap someone for 40 minutes
I'm afraid to try to comment. I keep thinking that guy is going to interrupt me before I'm finished.
wow, the difference in Bill's response and demeanor when the question is actually interesting and the person is not obnoxious is insane. It was criminal to impose that male interviewer on such talented comedians
Seth is so polite and kind and NORMAL, and Bill is a temperamental artist!
This is hilarious but for mostly the wrong reasons. I have never seen Bill Hader so annoyed/over an interview. The male moderator was horrible. Seth & Fred also seemed to be so over that guy and his questions. I wish it would have just been the female moderator as it would have seemed more respectful over all. I laughed at how much it made me cringe. I think my favorite part was how quickly Bill got up out of his chair at the end.
and he short of came back for the female one to say goodbye and sorry but he really can't wait to leave tf out of that stage lol
one thing I have learned from watching panel interviews is that you never, EVER put bill hader in the middle because he will derail that sh-t so fast
Seth is so polite and kind and NORMAL, and Bill is a temperamental artist!

Bill is a Gemini, so......
Yeah, compare this to the panels these guys did for the Emmys and at the 92nd St. Y and the atmosphere is completely different, much more loose and fun. This was hard to watch. I also really dislike the way they tightened in the shot to cut out Rhys and Alex. That is terribly disrespectful.
I just love Bills body language. He is so annoyed by the male moderators interrupting that he clenching his jaw while looking at the female one and just goes "..you're great!" to her at 9:09 :D
Lmao i just noticed that
You can see the moment Seth looses any respect for the male moderator at 11:13 the fact that he cut him off during an answer is unbelievable honestly
(loudly and staring directly at Atlantic): "we were surprised"
Rhys Thomas dissociating for 42 minutes
You could clearly see that Bill is a dad just by the fact that he picked up the water bottle out of reflex. That was lovely to watch.
Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine.
Bill bullying Steve was the best part of this interview
God, look at everyone giving each other looks around 9:08 when the dude asks the question. Bill looks at the woman moderating and says "YOU'RE great" as they all give each other looks.
This is wildly entertaining
I watched the whole thing. This is one of my fav documentary now panels I've ever seen. I've never seen any interviewer lack self awareness this hard
@@effacalorie isn't it gorgeous?
@@effacalorie I've only just discovered this and it's as fascinating as it is entertaining! He's _profoundly_ terrible, it's incredible. I'm absolutely delighted by it
I think my favourite part of the entire panel is when he bellows YEAH WHERE'S THE HOUSE and Fred just looks at him like he's completely insane
22:50 Bill doing an impression of a ferret directing is one of the funniest things I've ever seen oml 😂
Yeah, that killed me. He's brilliant.
"We killed all the animals!!...That's the last time you see all these animals!...That's a wrap on the Racoon!" 22:39 (all 3 in unison; 🏏"THUMP!!" 🏏😵☠️🤣🤣🤣)
I had to rewind it four times I couldn’t believe it lol
@@janehollander1934 and then Bill yes/And’ing as the raccoon being hit as well , so funny
This guy Steve is completely delusional. Nobody for a second believes this "tug back and fourth" format was figured out beforehand. You should be embarrassed putting this content out. It was apparent very early that none of these guys could even attempt to take this serious. Hader just didn't have the patience to deal with you and I don't blame him. Especially the shit with the microphones. Give it up man holy shit. You're like an over involved dad at his sons 19th birthday party.
‘no should we answer them seriously it’s just people in costume’ i lost it😂😂😂😂
Painful to watch. Clearly the condescending "I'm The Atlantic!" guy pissed them off from the get go, so they just took the 'fuck it, let's have fun' approach. These guys are awesome in a panel, there are others out there that I would recommend over this.
He seemed like a nice enough guy at first, but then it became obvious he was just name dropping the most obscure list of people and having them come to the mic.
Bill is literally so done with all the interviewer guys "questions".
Seth is so polite and kind and NORMAL, and Bill is a temperamental artist!
@@roonil3931 Bill is a Gemini, so......
@@beverlyputnam272 that explains EVERYTHING
Been watching the video for like 5 minutes, the first question has been asked by the interviewer guy, Seth Meyers is trying to answer, but the interviewer guy keeps interrupting him, at least 7 times in a row. And he is highly offended about the critics. Interesting.
I can watch bill and seth sitting next to each other talking FOREVER xD funny interview
the female moderators response, “pay me back in deference” to that jerk after he half assed an apology for interpreting her was golden. 11:40
Alex Wagner is an awesome journalist... no problem stuffing that "I'm from the Atlantic" tool into the bin.
Just found this interview. Alex is an incredible moderator... and Steve is there
Bill Hader is my new addiction..so thank you for that.
I always appreciate how Bill will make sure people who did the work get credit
I love Bill and he is the funniest guy ever - but he could also give people credit while just let them answering a single question on their own without interrupting them after two sentences:)
10:58
-She asks a good question. "Tell us HOW you figured out what topics you wanted to choose"
-Seth starts to answer.
-Guy interrupts with something unrelated, then ends in a question.
-Then he says, "Oh, back to her question that I interrupted", but it was so long ago we never get a real answer.
Is this his first panel interview? I've seen these guys interviewed before, and it's always are extremely insightful and you learn a lot while laughing. The only reason this interview was not as successful is because this guy loves to hear himself talk.
Of course it wasn't his first panel, he's the *ATLANTIC* guy with *serious* ideas. Let me ask you this, what is it that you're *lacking* that you can't be as serious and good as him?
Dear lord Seth was about to pop. You can almost see him swallow his anger.
Man… Bill and Seth just walk off at the end… really feeling the energy.
Fred politely wiping his hand on his pants at 25:00 😂
they all clearly hated the guy interviewer and for good reason he kept making shtty jokes and making it about him. Fred was so sweet in shaking his hand at the end and he basically ignored him. I really hope they fired that guy.
So hilarious but also so terrible. Every time that Clemons guy opens his mouth, Bill dies inside (look at his face through the entire thing). Even though the moderator sucked, Fred thanks him at the end, a very nice gesture because I'm sure he felt bad for the guy :/
even seth is very polite. bill needs some patience!
@@roonil3931 patience ? you're doing a panel promoting a show you've worked on and the guy that asks you questions just cuts you off every time you try to answer the questions that HE JUST ASKED. I mean, Bill was as patient as anyone would have been there. And I'm not even talking about the content of the questions sometimes...
@@clemencec3790 omg i agree. And when he asked what does bill and fred have that seth doesnt... that made me so mad that is so disrespectful. I totally understand bill's reaction i felt the same way. Also they're so talented, the way they made this interview entertaining, espechially bill. Genious🌠
@@clemencec3790 to be fair bill disrespectful Alex at the at the beginning,she done with him and he knew it so he trying to
apologise her many time but i feel bad for Alex anyway, imagine how herd to deal with co host and interviewer who disrespectful+annoying
to her all the time.thank for Seth he so sweet when he cheer up her by holding her hand
I don't want to be harsh, but the host needs to learn how to moderate a little better, or stick to editing. If you're sharing the stage with people, especially comedians of this caliber, don't try and compete with them. It didn't work when Johnny Carson tried to do it, and it didn't work this time. A couple of times it was positively cringe worthy. It also felt like the host wasn't really listening to what the guests were saying, when they were talking he would frequently be looking at the crowd, or his papers.
Was it really necessary to call out and introduce everyone in the crowd? Stick to the content that people are interested in.
That whole part about bringing up the energy exec's pizza history and his gay son was just unnecessary and made everyone clearly uncomfortable.
+countz3r0 Oh my god, I so totally agree with you. Both of the interviewers were atrocious, really, but the man was the WORST! They were completely clueless and off base about the whole concept of the Documentary Now series, and when the panel (especially Bill Hader) refused to give them a pass about their wrongheadedness, they actually got huffy and dug themselves in deeper. I'll give 'em this much: It was one of the most compelling train wrecks of an interview I've ever seen. And someone should give Bill Hader an award for brilliant fearlessness!
@Steve Clemons People can tell when someone is "in on the joke". You, sir, are miles away.
@@macattack423 I watched this video just now and I think it's hilarious that you just responded to this 4 year old comment. Also: I agree
@@oiskypoisky2674 Haha! I was just so annoyed by his interviewing technique and then blown away that he delved into youtube comments to defend himself, that I felt it was a safe space to post a wildly out of date comment.
@@macattack423 what did he say? Think he deleted it
What I like about this is that these three guys made the interview so entertaining and funny even with those dumb questions.
Steve, my man. Would you please stop interrupting everyone?
This is awesome!! I would never cut these three guys off mid-answer. I could listen to them talk for hours! Especially bill. I'd just be like " so tell me everything" and then just listen intently!!
11:11 died when Fred goes in for the high-five. He really is such a funny person 😂 Everyone, especially Seth because he’s just been interrupted, is growing more and more annoyed by Mr. Atlantic. There’s no doubt to Fred’s awareness of the ongoing chaos, but he uses his comedic powers to lighten the mood when opportunity presents itself.
13:23 that was the first time I ever saw Bill truly angry, and for good reason. How can you be that disrespectful for someone who wrote a fucking Emmy nominated show? Come on... Thank God for Alex, you could clearly see Bill and the others replying to her seriously because she was pleasant and smart and she wasn't fake. People are sponges, they react to what they receive so, don't expact them to respect you if you don't respect them.
they react to what they receive so, don't expact them to respect you if you don't respect them. ... said 1,000,000 Palestinian and Jordanians.
I loved how that shirt-reveal bombed and Bill called him out on it. The interviewers should've just stuck to being the straight man, it was really painful to see them trying to be funny and fall flat on their face. Like, we're interested in the comedians not in the interviewers' interaction with the comedians.
They're probably nice people who were trying their best though.
i am not sure why everyone is being so mean to this guy here hahah, he was perfectly fine. did his best. i adore bill very much, but he even got on my nerves.
Seth is so polite and kind and NORMAL, and Bill is a temperamental artist!
@@roonil3931 Are you just going to copy paste this to every comment ? LMAO
@@clemencec3790 and what about it?
Alex was fine. Steve ruined this
Steve clemons needs to stop cutting Alex down, he's too overbearing to co-host.
Alex saying "I think this is the hardest thing I've ever done" hahaha yessssss
Guy interviewer didn't understand his role in the entire thing. He looked like he wanted to be liked and kept mentioning Lorne for some reason.
Hader went off in this one 😂
I loved how Seth & Hader are just having the time of their lives in here 😂
can we appreciate the fact that he calls fred
freddie ❣️
the first time i watched this i died
the second time i watched this i mourned myself
the third time i watched fred's patient sense of comedic timing from heaven
the fourth time i noticed seth's lightning wit and ability to focus in on the funniest aspect of a scenario in real time
the fifth time i admired the way bill listened to others to find a the beginnings of a premise and then elevate it
the sixth time i read the comment section and in one of them, someone pointed out that someone else was copy and pasting in the replies of multiple comments and the copy paste bandit said "so what if i am", which is like a masterclass in how to get away with any awkward thing - you don't fight criticism, just be like "yea", then what are they gonna say? no one can fight you, you are clearly self-possessed and unhinged
the seventh time i was like alright i should get a job
This comment right here feels like home
They obv had a lot more respect for the woman moderator, and seemed to kinda hate the guy lol
Bill Hader is so fucking funny. I died.
Fred and Bill are great together.
+The Crack Addict I want him to shut up so they can answer the questions.
Lynn Turman Nobody fucking cares about the questions.
The Crack Addict Then why even pretend it's a panel discusssion? I wanted to hear the real reasons for why they did this or did that, not some funny answer that doesn't answer the question.
This interview really showcases how Bill and Seth are basically the same person. Lol. Same humor, same mannerisms.. and reactions to this guy's ludicrous interviewing style. I love it.
If anyone ever denies how straight up Bill is I direct them to this. Dude is literally incapable of hiding how he feels lmao - which is something I massively respect tbh. The reason obnoxious people like the male interviewer get such good gigs is because so many people in the industry are just phony.
Who hired this guy interviewer? Terrible decision
Bill and Seth were hilarious trying to deal with him.
Fred was too adorable like always.
Thank you to the last three seconds of this video for blowing my speakers out
I didn't know if I wanted to watch this until I read the comments
i'm still deciding whether i should watch it or not 😂
"LOOK AT US; WE'RE HAVING SO MUCH FUN!"
Hilarious, wholesome, AND unhinged. 👌🏽
41:10 onwards Bill was just totally done with the male moderator. He was trying to answer the question and the guy wasn't even paying attention - started stripping off to show his shirt in the middle of Bill talking. He wanted attention and Bill was just soo done.
IFC does a great job interviewing these three funny guys. Their questions were relevant and respectful.
got five minutes into this before my anxiety said "no, not worth it." that moderator dude sucks bro.
Did they hire Steve Clemons to ruin the panel? Did they think it would be TOO good so they got him on? Dear lord. Some of the funniest people on the planet and he's acting like he can keep up.
Bill was so done he literally just got up and left
Only watching this for Bill. Steve is unbearable. I'm glad Bill called him out several times.
Oh that was pretty bad albeit hilarious panel. The racoon and ferret bit they did was hilarious. I feel bad for everyone asking unsubstantial questions. You can see Bill Hader flipped a switch and gave a serious answer when asked about repeating performances.
I love how much Bill is losing it throughout the panel.
3:25 awww seth is so sweet
he really is the sweetest
this is horrible, the male moderators that's so rude and stupid + the guests so annoyed, feel sorry to Alex who trying her best for all 41 minute and thank Seth cuz he being nice to her. how sweet when he cheer up her by holding her hand
The male moderator talking about comedians being depressed when Hader is infamous for talking about his struggles with anxiety and panic attacks and so on is just so distasteful.
I'm immediately re-watching this. I originally had it on his background to doing some work, but now I feel the need to study it for all its cringey Glory
even the other host was over him lmfao
the questions were pretty bad, but it made for hilarious content
This is so hard to watch. Of all the panels and interviews I've seen on CZcams, this Steven Clemons guy is one of THE WORST interviewer I've ever seen.
Clémence C You made a typo. Just leave out interviewer. 🤗😉🤣
Lmao. That first four minutes. That was funnier than anything any of them could have actually said. I hope she wasn't actually hurt by it and she gets a chance soon.
When Bill starts laughing at 28:42 I just imagine him thinking “Steve is such a fucking idiot”
which Steve clearly doesn't understand....he laughs along with him as if he's part of the joke rather than the cause of it
@@analogdaniel he's probably not even listening to them answer
It's the moment Bill imagines them all in a cringe compilation lol
I've been trying to figure out what Bill says through his laughter when the interview guy said comedians are all depressed.. No look at us! We're...?? And Seth thought it was hysterical whatever it was. Btw I could watch Hader and Seth talk/laugh about anything. They have such a great rapport and are so alike. When one starts a bit, the other immediately gets it and continues on with it. Clearly great buddies.
We're having so much fun!
Camera person in the balcony FINALLY gets back from the toilet and does their first zoom, just as things are winding down. And the world's slowest zoom, mind you. @29:06
0:43 I CANT STOP LAUGHING AT BILLS WALK LMFAO IMAGINE HIM ON A RUNWAY
Imagine having four creatives on a panel as guests and then talking over them _the entire time._
the atlantic interviewer is horrible.. cringe
Joe Kohle thanks Joe but in the friendliest possible way I disagree. We all knew that it would bounce between funny and cerebral and be a tug of war. If you wanted seamless seriousness best to not watch these kinds of comedians, or me. Be well. Take care, Steve
+Steven Clemons bill hader was visually pissed off with like every second think you said
Mate...you need to stop replying to comments, it makes you look insecure. Clearly the interview did not go well, but the more you challenge everyone that observes this the more worried you look. Serious journalists don't argue on youtube.
Steve Clemons no one believes you that it was planned to go like this. You were steam rolling the other interviewer and interrupted so many of her questions, or the answers the guys were trying to give. Bill Hader was obviously very annoyed during most of this. I’ve seen him in so many interviews and he can play annoyed very well for comedic reasons, but this was clearly genuine annoyance at you.
@@SCClemons
So just to be clear, a good interview is:
- interrupting them 10+ times and an audience member.
- Asked, "What do these 2 guys have that you don't?"
- "Have you guys had any real documentarians to hang out with you or talk to you or do they hate you?"
- Asked that stupid "atlantic" styled question (a bad one)
- "Come on get serious" to an audience member.
- Told everyone that your friend (I fell so sorry for him) has a gay son and other private information that shouldn't be talked about unless they bring that up.
- Touched Fred in a very odd and uncomfortable way at 30:13
- Said Lorne Michaels didn't know people who worked there 10+ years and they immediately said that wasn't true.
- Randomly started to unbutton your shirt to show a t-shirt and interrupted Bill Hader while he was answering your question.
- Pissed off everyone in that room and everyone who watched this video.
wait... bill hader in a suit? WE'RE BLESSED
I keep coming back to watch this panel from time to time when I feel like having a laugh.
nail in this dunes coffin at 41:46 when he straight up forgets Alex Wagner's last name after disrespecting her for the better part of an hour.
the interview is about the guests not about your carrier steve! it looks like there was no prep made what so ever for this, he didn't knew how to handle or speak to 3 *comedians* (who are known for this behavior while together) and he tried so hard to *keep it sEriOuS* ???????? AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD *READ THE ROOM* , GIVE ALEX THE LEADE THEY ARE CLEARLY MORE PREDISPOSED AND HAVE SOME TYPE OF FAMILIARITY TALKING TO HER
The walkout at the end. Perfect
"We killed all the animals!!...That's the last time you see all these animals!...That's a wrap on the Racoon!" 22:39 (all 3 in unison; 🏏"THUMP!!" 🏏😵☠️🤣🤣🤣)
I was going to stop watching this until I read the comments and now I need to see what happens. First impressions: this male moderator should never be allowed to moderate for comedians, especially these guys. Any panel Bill Hader is ever on derails immediately and that’s part of his charm. Comedians riff, that’s their entire thing. Watch Bill’s 92Y interview with John Mulaney, or the Documentary Now one done there, for a better example of how to moderate for guests like these. I know this is years old now, but I keep seeing interviews even recently with people who don’t know how to adapt and interview/moderate in the best style for each guest, and it demonstrates a lack of respect for the guests and a lack of concern for the quality of the audience experience. So yeah I hope this guy isn’t still doing this today.
I amend my statement after seeing 30 minutes of this incredibly poorly run panel to say that the female moderator needed to work on timing her questions but the male moderator should never be allowed to conduct an interview good lord that must have been so embarrassing for the Atlantic.
Madison Chazo I just googled this guy, Clemons, and he’s exactly who you think he is, times ten. Good Gawd. Imagine working with him. Oof.
Totally. The woman was fine, could have run the show better, but good questions and respectful and had good rapport. The man just gave me anxiety about what awful awful thing he would do or say next. He made it nearly unwatchable. Perhaps he has never seen an interview before? He doesn’t seem to have a grasp of the basic question and answer format yet.
Lol what was bill doing with the lady lol
@wonderfalls i don't think he help her much, you can see on her face she feel a little angry when bill interrupting her but she keep continue like a professional. Bill know that so he's try to hug her and she don't hug him back. She is so done, poor lady imagine how bad that she has to work with unprofessional co-host and a comedians who annoyed over an interview. i feel bad for her although i am bill fan
These interviewers and questions are so bad and Bill derailed it right from the beginning, I love it, those 3 together just go into their own little world and it's fantastic. And an annoyed Bill is still just so sweet and funny, I just love him. (What was he trying to do to that lady though XD)
I think he was going in for a hug, and she was worried about her mic--and then he realized she didn't want a hug. But I could be wrong.
Nope, on replay, it wasn't her mic--she didn't want to step on the manhole.
I really hope that the male interviewer didn't tell everyone that he's gay just in case the interview went poorly, and then go "well, they didn't like me because I'm gay."
34:35 Bill nailing this dude was hilarious though. Gotta get him a mike. RELAX!! Fred looks so embarrassed too and I don't blame him.
They needed a giant hook to pull Clemons off the stage.
9:06 Bill is nonplussed😄
This was so cringy to watch....I really wish we could of heard more of their answers instead of the one guy interupting all the time
Bill not being able to sit still is adorable
This is so chaotic lmao
23:15 i love how both bill and seth literally fall out of their chair laughing
Fred is surely one of a kind
You know the Bill and them had to endure even more of that guy during the drinks portion
This shouldve been a panel discussion for Trainwreck.. Because Jesus Christ 😳
19:29 that’s the Atlantic question?!
steve guy is a terrible interviewer should def be fired
no water bottles have been harmed during this interview
AHAHA this is crazy. The interviewer guy is absolutely insane. What a train wreck 😂
16:02 Bill almost falls out of chair
‘Would you guys ever consider doing something along the lines of Star Wars?’ This is a MOCK-umentry. Who are these people and where did they get their audience? It’s overflow from a Bob Lazer interview, isn’t it? 🤦🏻♀️
4:48 lololol
Great comments, but there must have been no sound guy involved; her mic is set so low and Bill's is set so high that there's no way to balance the dynamics. And then everybody talks at once and it's a mess. The two end people were a waste of microphones anyway.
I know I'm late, but what the actual f*ck?
I hate when the interviewer begs for attention. No one came here to listen to you. Let the panel speak!
i hope this was the last panel this male moderator ever did
Ugh so over bearing! Cringe worthy! And rude! The host was the reason I had to thumbs down this video! Geesh!
I wonder how many people in the audience were like “finally Steve got what’s what”
Is the “Atlantic Guy” kidding? What a jerk
I just realised what's so weird about this Atlantic presenter. He genuinely doesn't seem to realise how much the panel, and Alex Wagner, dislike him. Totally oblivious.
