The newly-released promo video shows Hader goofing around with Kenan Thompson, who proudly introduces the actor as “Bill Hader, the movie star.” Hader asks Thompson if anything has changed since he left, to which Thompson replies, “They renovated the bathroom, there’s spaghetti and meatballs in the cafeteria and we got a ton of black people now.” We can only hope that Hader will thrive as host, since he did spend eight years on the _SNL_ stage. Fingers crossed we’ll see [Stefon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8osfRW-KTgc "undefined") back in action. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3482342/bill-hader-hosts-snl/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3482342/bill-hader-hosts-snl/"},"headline":"Watch Bill Hader Do a Terrible Kenan Thompson Impression in New SNL Promo","datePublished":"2014-10-08T19:05:18.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:13:40.884Z","description":"The former cast members returns to host the show this weekend","url":"https://time.com/3482342/bill-hader-hosts-snl/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","NBC","SNL","Saturday Night Live","Bill Hader"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf43aac9097e614e3/69875f4dcd6848f0ce096ecb/screen-shot-2014-10-08-at-2-32-53-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf43aac9097e614e3/69875f4dcd6848f0ce096ecb/screen-shot-2014-10-08-at-2-32-53-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2014-10-08 at 2.32.53 PM","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3482342/bill-hader-hosts-snl/","name":"Watch Bill Hader Do a Terrible Kenan Thompson Impression in New SNL Promo"}}]}] ```
