Moose - A postmodern object system for Perl 5
version 2.2207
package Point;
use Moose; # automatically turns on strict and warnings
has 'x' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Int');
has 'y' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Int');
sub clear {
my $self = shift;
package Point3D;
use Moose;
extends 'Point';
has 'z' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Int');
after 'clear' => sub {
my $self = shift;
Moose is an extension of the Perl 5 object system.
The main goal of Moose is to make Perl 5 Object Oriented programming easier, more consistent, and less tedious. With Moose you can think more about what you want to do and less about the mechanics of OOP.
Additionally, Moose is built on top of Class::MOP, which is a metaclass system for Perl 5. This means that Moose not only makes building normal Perl 5 objects better, but it provides the power of metaclass programming as well.
New to Moose?
If you're new to Moose, the best place to start is the Moose::Manual docs, followed by the Moose::Cookbook. The intro will show you what Moose is, and how it makes Perl 5 OO better.
The cookbook recipes on Moose basics will get you up to speed with many of Moose's features quickly. Once you have an idea of what Moose can do, you can use the API documentation to get more detail on features which interest you.
Moose Extensions
The MooseX::
namespace is the official place to find Moose extensions. These extensions can be found on the CPAN. The easiest way to find them is to search for them (https://metacpan.org/search?q=MooseX::), or to examine Task::Moose which aims to keep an up-to-date, easily installable list of Moose extensions.
Much of the Moose documentation has been translated into other languages.
- Japanese
Japanese docs can be found at http://perldoc.perlassociation.org/pod/Moose-Doc-JA/index.html. The source POD files can be found in GitHub: http://github.com/jpa/Moose-Doc-JA
Moose makes every attempt to provide as much convenience as possible during class construction/definition, but still stay out of your way if you want it to. Here are a few items to note when building classes with Moose.
When you use Moose
, Moose will set the class's parent class to Moose::Object, unless the class using Moose already has a parent class. In addition, specifying a parent with extends
will change the parent class.
Moose will also manage all attributes (including inherited ones) that are defined with has
. And (assuming you call new
, which is inherited from Moose::Object) this includes properly initializing all instance slots, setting defaults where appropriate, and performing any type constraint checking or coercion.
Moose provides a number of methods to all your classes, mostly through the inheritance of Moose::Object. There is however, one exception. By default, Moose will install a method named meta
in any class which uses Moose
. This method returns the current class's metaclass.
If you'd like to rename this method, you can do so by passing the -meta_name
option when using Moose:
use Moose -meta_name => 'my_meta';
However, the Moose::Object class also provides a method named meta
which does the same thing. If your class inherits from Moose::Object (which is the default), then you will still have a meta
method. However, if your class inherits from a parent which provides a meta
method of its own, your class will inherit that instead.
If you'd like for Moose to not install a meta method at all, you can pass undef
as the -meta_name
use Moose -meta_name => undef;
Again, you will still inherit meta
from Moose::Object in this case.
Moose will export a number of functions into the class's namespace which may then be used to set up the class. These functions all work directly on the current class.
extends (@superclasses)
This function will set the superclass(es) for the current class. If the parent classes are not yet loaded, then extends
tries to load them.
This approach is recommended instead of use base
/use parent
, because use base
actually push
es onto the class's @ISA
, whereas extends
will replace it. This is important to ensure that classes which do not have superclasses still properly inherit from Moose::Object.
Each superclass can be followed by a hash reference with options. Currently, only -version is recognized:
extends 'My::Parent' => { -version => 0.01 },
'My::OtherParent' => { -version => 0.03 };
An exception will be thrown if the version requirements are not satisfied.
with (@roles)
This will apply a given set of @roles
to the local class.
Like with extends
, each specified role can be followed by a hash reference with a -version option:
with 'My::Role' => { -version => 0.32 },
'My::Otherrole' => { -version => 0.23 };
The specified version requirements must be satisfied, otherwise an exception will be thrown.
If your role takes options or arguments, they can be passed along in the hash reference as well.
You should only use one with
, even if you are consuming multiple roles. If you consume roles using multiple with
statements Moose cannot detect method conflicts between those roles.
has $name|@$names => %options
This will install an attribute of a given $name
into the current class. If the first parameter is an array reference, it will create an attribute for every $name
in the list. The %options
will be passed to the constructor for Moose::Meta::Attribute (which inherits from Class::MOP::Attribute), so the full documentation for the valid options can be found there. These are the most commonly used options:
- is => 'rw'|'ro'
The is option accepts either rw (for read/write) or ro (for read only). These will create either a read/write accessor or a read-only accessor respectively, using the same name as the
of the attribute.If you need more control over how your accessors are named, you can use the reader, writer and accessor options inherited from Class::MOP::Attribute, however if you use those, you won't need the is option.
- isa => $type_name
The isa option uses Moose's type constraint facilities to set up runtime type checking for this attribute. Moose will perform the checks during class construction, and within any accessors. The
argument must be a string. The string may be either a class name or a type defined using Moose's type definition features. (Refer to Moose::Util::TypeConstraints for information on how to define a new type, and how to retrieve type meta-data). - coerce => (1|0)
This will attempt to use coercion with the supplied type constraint to change the value passed into any accessors or constructors. You must supply a type constraint, and that type constraint must define a coercion. See Moose::Cookbook::Basics::HTTP_SubtypesAndCoercion for an example.
- does => $role_name
This will accept the name of a role which the value stored in this attribute is expected to have consumed.
- required => (1|0)
This marks the attribute as being required. This means a value must be supplied during class construction, or the attribute must be lazy and have either a default or a builder. Note that
does not say anything about the attribute's value, which can beundef
. - weak_ref => (1|0)
This will tell the class to store the value of this attribute as a weakened reference. If an attribute is a weakened reference, it cannot also be coerced. Note that when a weak ref expires, the attribute's value becomes undefined, and is still considered to be set for purposes of predicate, default, etc.
- lazy => (1|0)
This will tell the class to not create this slot until absolutely necessary. If an attribute is marked as lazy it must have a default or builder supplied.
- trigger => $code
The trigger option is a CODE reference which will be called after the value of the attribute is set. The CODE ref is passed the instance itself, the updated value, and the original value if the attribute was already set.
You can have a trigger on a read-only attribute.
NOTE: Triggers will only fire when you assign to the attribute, either in the constructor, or using the writer. Default and built values will not cause the trigger to be fired.
- handles => ARRAY | HASH | REGEXP | ROLE | ROLETYPE | DUCKTYPE | CODE
The handles option provides Moose classes with automated delegation features. This is a pretty complex and powerful option. It accepts many different option formats, each with its own benefits and drawbacks.
NOTE: The class being delegated to does not need to be a Moose based class, which is why this feature is especially useful when wrapping non-Moose classes.
All handles option formats share the following traits:
You cannot override a locally defined method with a delegated method; an exception will be thrown if you try. That is to say, if you define
in your class, you cannot override it with a delegatedfoo
. This is almost never something you would want to do, and if it is, you should do it by hand and not use Moose.You cannot override any of the methods found in Moose::Object, or the
methods. These will not throw an exception, but will silently move on to the next method in the list. My reasoning for this is that you would almost never want to do this, since it usually breaks your class. As with overriding locally defined methods, if you do want to do this, you should do it manually, not with Moose.You do not need to have a reader (or accessor) for the attribute in order to delegate to it. Moose will create a means of accessing the value for you, however this will be several times less efficient then if you had given the attribute a reader (or accessor) to use.
Below is the documentation for each option format:
This is the most common usage for handles. You basically pass a list of method names to be delegated, and Moose will install a delegation method for each one.
This is the second most common usage for handles. Instead of a list of method names, you pass a HASH ref where each key is the method name you want installed locally, and its value is the name of the original method in the class being delegated to.
This can be very useful for recursive classes like trees. Here is a quick example (soon to be expanded into a Moose::Cookbook recipe):
package Tree; use Moose; has 'node' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Any'); has 'children' => ( is => 'ro', isa => 'ArrayRef', default => sub { [] } ); has 'parent' => ( is => 'rw', isa => 'Tree', weak_ref => 1, handles => { parent_node => 'node', siblings => 'children', } );
In this example, the Tree package gets
methods, which delegate to thenode
methods (respectively) of the Tree instance stored in theparent
slot.You may also use an array reference to curry arguments to the original method.
has 'thing' => ( ... handles => { set_foo => [ set => 'foo' ] }, ); # $self->set_foo(...) calls $self->thing->set('foo', ...)
The first element of the array reference is the original method name, and the rest is a list of curried arguments.
The regexp option works very similar to the ARRAY option, except that it builds the list of methods for you. It starts by collecting all possible methods of the class being delegated to, then filters that list using the regexp supplied here.
NOTE: An isa option is required when using the regexp option format. This is so that we can determine (at compile time) the method list from the class. Without an isa this is just not possible.
With the role option, you specify the name of a role or a role type whose "interface" then becomes the list of methods to handle. The "interface" can be defined as; the methods of the role and any required methods of the role. It should be noted that this does not include any method modifiers or generated attribute methods (which is consistent with role composition).
With the duck type option, you pass a duck type object whose "interface" then becomes the list of methods to handle. The "interface" can be defined as the list of methods passed to
to create a duck type object. For more information onduck_type
please check Moose::Util::TypeConstraints. CODE
This is the option to use when you really want to do something funky. You should only use it if you really know what you are doing, as it involves manual metaclass twiddling.
This takes a code reference, which should expect two arguments. The first is the attribute meta-object this handles is attached to. The second is the metaclass of the class being delegated to. It expects you to return a hash (not a HASH ref) of the methods you want mapped.
- traits => [ @role_names ]
This tells Moose to take the list of
and apply them to the attribute meta-object. Custom attribute metaclass traits are useful for extending the capabilities of the has keyword: they are the simplest way to extend the MOP, but they are still a fairly advanced topic and too much to cover here.See "Metaclass and Trait Name Resolution" for details on how a trait name is resolved to a role name.
Also see Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Labeled_AttributeTrait for a metaclass trait example.
- builder => Str
The value of this key is the name of the method that will be called to obtain the value used to initialize the attribute. See the builder option docs in Class::MOP::Attribute and/or Moose::Cookbook::Basics::BinaryTree_BuilderAndLazyBuild for more information.
- default => SCALAR | CODE
The value of this key is the default value which will initialize the attribute.
NOTE: If the value is a simple scalar (string or number), then it can be just passed as is. However, if you wish to initialize it with a HASH or ARRAY ref, then you need to wrap that inside a CODE reference. See the default option docs in Class::MOP::Attribute for more information.
- clearer => Str
Creates a method allowing you to clear the value. See the clearer option docs in Class::MOP::Attribute for more information.
- predicate => Str
Creates a method to perform a basic test to see if a value has been set in the attribute. See the predicate option docs in Class::MOP::Attribute for more information.
Note that the predicate will return true even for a
attribute whose value has expired. - documentation => $string
An arbitrary string that can be retrieved later by calling
has +$name => %options
This is variation on the normal attribute creator has
which allows you to clone and extend an attribute from a superclass or from a role. Here is an example of the superclass usage:
package Foo;
use Moose;
has 'message' => (
is => 'rw',
isa => 'Str',
default => 'Hello, I am a Foo'
package My::Foo;
use Moose;
extends 'Foo';
has '+message' => (default => 'Hello I am My::Foo');
What is happening here is that My::Foo is cloning the message
attribute from its parent class Foo, retaining the is => 'rw'
and isa => 'Str'
characteristics, but changing the value in default
Here is another example, but within the context of a role:
package Foo::Role;
use Moose::Role;
has 'message' => (
is => 'rw',
isa => 'Str',
default => 'Hello, I am a Foo'
package My::Foo;
use Moose;
with 'Foo::Role';
has '+message' => (default => 'Hello I am My::Foo');
In this case, we are basically taking the attribute which the role supplied and altering it within the bounds of this feature.
Note that you can only extend an attribute from either a superclass or a role, you cannot extend an attribute in a role that composes over an attribute from another role.
Aside from where the attributes come from (one from superclass, the other from a role), this feature works exactly the same. This feature is restricted somewhat, so as to try and force at least some sanity into it. Most options work the same, but there are some exceptions:
- reader
- writer
- accessor
- clearer
- predicate
These options can be added, but cannot override a superclass definition.
- traits
You are allowed to add additional traits to the
definition. These traits will be composed into the attribute, but preexisting traits are not overridden, or removed.
before $name|@names|\@names|qr/.../ => sub { ... }
after $name|@names|\@names|qr/.../ => sub { ... }
around $name|@names|\@names|qr/.../ => sub { ... }
These three items are syntactic sugar for the before, after, and around method modifier features that Class::MOP provides. More information on these may be found in Moose::Manual::MethodModifiers and the Class::MOP::Class documentation.
override ($name, &sub)
An override
method is a way of explicitly saying "I am overriding this method from my superclass". You can call super
within this method, and it will work as expected. The same thing can be accomplished with a normal method call and the SUPER::
pseudo-package; it is really your choice.
The keyword super
is a no-op when called outside of an override
method. In the context of an override
method, it will call the next most appropriate superclass method with the same arguments as the original method.
augment ($name, &sub)
An augment
method, is a way of explicitly saying "I am augmenting this method from my superclass". Once again, the details of how inner
and augment
work is best described in the Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Document_AugmentAndInner.
The keyword inner
, much like super
, is a no-op outside of the context of an augment
method. You can think of inner
as being the inverse of super
; the details of how inner
and augment
work is best described in the Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Document_AugmentAndInner.
This is the Scalar::Util::blessed
function. It is highly recommended that this is used instead of ref
anywhere you need to test for an object's class name.
This is the Carp::confess
function, and exported here for historical reasons.
When you use Moose, you can specify traits which will be applied to your metaclass:
use Moose -traits => 'My::Trait';
This is very similar to the attribute traits feature. When you do this, your class's meta
object will have the specified traits applied to it.
Metaclass and Trait Name Resolution
By default, when given a trait name, Moose simply tries to load a class of the same name. If such a class does not exist, it then looks for a class matching Moose::Meta::$type::Custom::Trait::$trait_name. The $type
variable here will be one of Attribute or Class, depending on what the trait is being applied to.
If a class with this long name exists, Moose checks to see if it has the method register_implementation
. This method is expected to return the real class name of the trait. If there is no register_implementation
method, it will fall back to using Moose::Meta::$type::Custom::Trait::$trait as the trait name.
The lookup method for metaclasses is the same, except that it looks for a class matching Moose::Meta::$type::Custom::$metaclass_name.
If all this is confusing, take a look at Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Labeled_AttributeTrait, which demonstrates how to create an attribute trait.
Moose offers a way to remove the keywords it exports, through the unimport
method. You simply have to say no Moose
at the bottom of your code for this to work. Here is an example:
package Person;
use Moose;
has 'first_name' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Str');
has 'last_name' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Str');
sub full_name {
my $self = shift;
$self->first_name . ' ' . $self->last_name
no Moose; # keywords are removed from the Person package
To learn more about extending Moose, we recommend checking out the "Extending" recipes in the Moose::Cookbook, starting with Moose::Cookbook::Extending::ExtensionOverview, which provides an overview of all the different ways you might extend Moose. Moose::Exporter and Moose::Util::MetaRole are the modules which provide the majority of the extension functionality, so reading their documentation should also be helpful.
The MooseX:: namespace
Generally if you're writing an extension for Moose itself you'll want to put your extension in the MooseX::
namespace. This namespace is specifically for extensions that make Moose better or different in some fundamental way. It is traditionally not for a package that just happens to use Moose. This namespace follows from the examples of the LWPx::
and DBIx::
namespaces that perform the same function for LWP
and DBI
Metaclass compatibility is a thorny subject. You should start by reading the "About Metaclass compatibility" section in the Class::MOP docs.
Moose will attempt to resolve a few cases of metaclass incompatibility when you set the superclasses for a class, in addition to the cases that Class::MOP handles.
Moose tries to determine if the metaclasses only "differ by roles". This means that the parent and child's metaclass share a common ancestor in their respective hierarchies, and that the subclasses under the common ancestor are only different because of role applications. This case is actually fairly common when you mix and match various MooseX::*
modules, many of which apply roles to the metaclass.
If the parent and child do differ by roles, Moose replaces the metaclass in the child with a newly created metaclass. This metaclass is a subclass of the parent's metaclass which does all of the roles that the child's metaclass did before being replaced. Effectively, this means the new metaclass does all of the roles done by both the parent's and child's original metaclasses.
Ultimately, this is all transparent to you except in the case of an unresolvable conflict.
It should be noted that super
and inner
cannot be used in the same method. However, they may be combined within the same class hierarchy; see t/basics/override_augment_inner_super.t for an example.
The reason for this is that super
is only valid within a method with the override
modifier, and inner
will never be valid within an override
method. In fact, augment
will skip over any override
methods when searching for its appropriate inner
This might seem like a restriction, but I am of the opinion that keeping these two features separate (yet interoperable) actually makes them easy to use, since their behavior is then easier to predict. Time will tell whether I am right or not (UPDATE: so far so good).

This paper (suggested by lbr on #moose) was what lead to the implementation of the
features. If you really want to understand them, I suggest you read this.
All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no exception.
Please report any bugs to email@example.com

test as a pull request at https://github.com/moose/Moose.
You can also discuss feature requests or possible bugs on the Moose mailing list (firstname.lastname@example.com) or on IRC at irc://irc.perl.org/#moose.
We are very strict about what features we add to the Moose core, especially the user-visible features. Instead we have made sure that the underlying meta-system of Moose is as extensible as possible so that you can add your own features easily.
That said, occasionally there is a feature needed in the meta-system to support your planned extension, in which case you should either email the mailing list (email@example.com) or join us on IRC at irc://irc.perl.org/#moose to discuss. The Moose::Manual::Contributing has more detail about how and when you can contribute.
There are only a few people with the rights to release a new version of Moose. The Moose Cabal are the people to go to with questions regarding the wider purview of Moose. They help maintain not just the code but the community as well. See the list below under "AUTHORS".

Some cases of acute periodontal (gum) disease that do not respond to more conventional treatment and self-care such as flossing may require a special kind of cleaning called scaling and root planing.
The procedure begins with administration of a local anesthetic to reduce any discomfort. Then, a small instrument called a "scaler," or an ultrasonic cleaner, is used to clean beneath your gum line to remove plaque and tartar.
The root surfaces on the tooth are then planed and smoothed. If effective, scaling and root planing helps the gums reattach themselves to the tooth structure. Additional measures may be needed if the periodontal pockets persist after scaling and root planing.

Bill Hader On Sketch Comedy, Classic Hollywood.
This weekend will be Hader's final romp on Saturday Night Live. He joined the cast in 2005 and has been nominated for an Emmy for his character Stefon, an obsessive clubgoer. Hader talks about not understanding how people do standup and about watching old films, which sparked his interest in Hollywood.

Guest: Bill Hader
TERRY GROSS, HOST: This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross. My guest, Bill Hader, is nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his work on "Saturday Night Live." He's the first male SNL cast member nominated in that category since Eddie Murphy back in 1983.
After joining the cast in 2005, Hader became best known for his characters Stefon, the New York City correspondent; and Vinny Vedecci, the Italian talk show host. Hader has done impressions of actors including Clint Eastwood, Charlie Sheen, Alan Alda, Vincent Price and Al Pacino; and political figures, including Rick Perry, James Carville and Eliot Spitzer.
Most of the announcers and game show hosts on SNL are played by Hader. He's also had supporting roles in several films, including "Superbad," "Adventureland" and "Men in Black 3"; and has been a creative consultant and writer on "South Park." This summer was his second season hosting the Turner Classics Movie Network show "Essentials Jr.," on which he picks and introduces classic films the whole family can watch together. The season ends this weekend with the 1941 film "Ball of Fire."
Let's start with a clip from this past season of "Saturday Night Live," featuring Hader as Stefon, an awkward club kid who somehow got the job as city correspondent on "Weekend Update." He's supposed to recommend fun weekend events in New York City, but his recommendations always focus on the most bizarre, underground clubs. Here's "Weekend Update" host Seth Meyers.
SETH MEYERS: It's Christmastime in New York, which means millions of tourists will be coming to see what holiday magic the Big Apple has to offer. Here with some tips on where you and your children should go is our city correspondent Stefon.
BILL HADER: (As Stefon) Hi.
MEYERS: Hi, hi Stefon. It's an exciting time, isn't it?
HADER: (As Stefon) I know, right? So many Republican candidates. Who do you pick?
MEYERS: OK, so Stefon, a lot of families are making their way to Manhattan to have some holiday fun. Are there any places you can recommend?
HADER: (As Stefon) Yes, yes, yes, yes. If you're looking to get festive with your family, I've got the perfect place for you. New York's hottest club is Hey. Built from the bucket list of a dying pervert, this Battery Park bitch parade is now managed by overweight game show host Fat Sajak.
HADER: (As Stefon) And this place has everything: tweakers, skeevies, Spud Webb, a child.
HADER: (As Stefon) And a Russian guy who runs on the treadmill in a Cosby sweater.
HADER: (As Stefon) So come on down this weekend. The bouncer is a bulldog who looks like Wilford Brimley, and the password is "diabetes."
GROSS: Bill Hader, welcome to FRESH AIR, and congratulations on the Emmy nomination and on the birth of your baby daughter, your second child.
HADER: Oh, thank you very much. Yeah.
GROSS: Yeah, yeah, so quite a time for you.
HADER: Yeah.
GROSS: So we just heard one of your most popular characters on "Saturday Night Live," Stefon. I'm going to ask you to describe him in your words.
HADER: We describe - a gay nightmare was one.
HADER: A way to describe Stefon. The character came from John Mulaney, who's a writer on the show, and it was two things. John got an email from a guy describing a club in New York, and it had that format of the Stefon "Update" features. It was almost like a Mad Libs version of that, which was New York's hottest club is blank, it has everything, blank, blank, blank, blank, you know.
So he was showing me this email, and we were kind of laughing about it, and then I had this guy who worked at a coffee shop in Chelsea who I would go to every morning on my way to work, and his mother had just moved in with him. She was staying with him, and he was just kind of lamenting about it. And I would kind of draw him out because he looked - he had that kind of hair, and that's how he talked.
He was really, like, oh my God, my mom's staying with me, and I live, like, on the lower Lower East Side.
HADER: That's what he said. "I live like low East Side." And I would walk around the office going "lower Lower East Side" and like this, and John Mulaney was the smart one and said hey, we should write that up.
GROSS: And another thing, you're always putting your hands over your mouth in that character.
HADER: Yeah, yeah, that is part of the character, and it's become a thing where people think I'm trying not to laugh, but I understand why they would think that because sometimes I actually am trying not to laugh. But that is just part of the character of, yeah, he's just nervous. He's fidgety, and he's afraid he's going to say the wrong thing, I think.
GROSS: Because he is.
HADER: Yeah, yeah, he's always - that's what kind of is funny to me is that he kind of - he's very conscious that he's making a mistake.
HADER: And so he's kind of covering up his mouth.
GROSS: So I've read that John Mulaney, who writes the character with you, sometimes puts in a line in the teleprompter or cue cards or whatever it is that you use that you don't know is going to be in it, and it throws you, and it makes you laugh.
HADER: Yeah.
GROSS: And you're not supposed to laugh when you're in character on "Saturday Night Live," but it's become such a thing for Stefon that it's like, it's part of the character now.
HADER: Yeah, now it's this weird thing if you don't laugh, is it still a Stefon? I got through one of the dress rehearsals without laughing and felt very good about myself, and then John took it upon himself to change that.
HADER: He was like, don't get too excited. And the other thing I should also say is that the guys miking me are laughing, the cue card guys are looking at me. They're kind of laughing. I mean, from the point when I show up that day, you know, and I walk into work on that Saturday, the cue card guys are like: Hey, we just read the Stefon, oh boy. You know...
HADER: You're dead.
HADER: Pretty funny.
GROSS: Well, give us a sense of, like, if there's a line clean enough for you to say on our show, which is broadcast earlier than "Saturday Night Live," so give us a sense of the kind of thing he writes that breaks you up.
HADER: I give two quick ones. The first one that started is I feel like was the first one we did. We had a club promoter whose name was Amnesia Bernstein, which we thought was very funny, and we did it at the - at dress, and it didn't really get anything; we were like, oh, that didn't work. And it was 10 minutes before we go onto air, and I was in the cold open or something, and John was like, oh, we need to change that club promoter's name.
And I go, ahh, I don't know, um - and he goes I'll think of something, I'll think of something because, you know, I'm dressed up as John Boehner or something. I'm, like, ah, I gotta go.
HADER: And so I run away, and he put it in, and as I was walking out, he goes, oh, I changed the club promoter's name. I was like oh, great. And I went out and did it, and he changed it to Gay Liotta.
HADER: And I completely lost it.
HADER: And I just went: What? And so what I'm seeing is the camera guys are laughing, the cue cards are shaking because the cue card guys are laughing. Beyond the cue cards, I can see some of the writers, I can see Andy Samberg, people against the wall in 8H, they're all laughing. And then that kind of started it. I think in John's mind, he went, oh, wow, OK.
HADER: Because I'm a soft touch. I - at the table reads, I break constantly. If something is up there that I'm not expecting, I tend to - I can't help myself, I'll start laughing. But especially as Stefon, to get myself in that character, I do kind of like work myself up a little bit because he's so kind of nervous and jittery that I think I'm more prone to laugh, and John knows that.
So it's kind of - it's now like, oh, let's go out and watch Bill eat it.
GROSS: So that first time when you laughed, and you didn't expect to laugh, did Lorne Michaels call you in and criticize you for it?
HADER: No, no. I think Lorne kind of likes it. When I did it the third or fourth time, and I laughed, I went to the after-party, and I sat at Lorne's table, and I said, hey, I'm really sorry. I keep laughing at Stefon. It's not very professional. And he went: Bill, when what you're saying isn't funny, then it's a problem. But what you're saying is really funny.
HADER: And so that was him being like don't worry about it. Now, if it's not funny, and you're trying to save it by laughing, then that's not good.
GROSS: So you describe Stefon as a gay nightmare. Do you get reactions from gay men about this character?
HADER: Yeah, a lot of - and it's great. The majority of people come up to me and go: People will say that I'm a Stefon, like people in my office now call me Stefon, or I used to date someone like Stefon. Men come up and tell me that. One guy, which I thought was nice, which was something - was actually kind of conscious on John and I's part, was he said I like that he's gay, but that that's not really the joke is that he's gay, that it wasn't like everything he had to say was about being gay.
John and I really appreciate it because it's very easy to do that in comedy, in sketch comedy. It was like, oh, well, he's a gay character. But it's more about that he's kind of doing a bad job and on a lot of drugs.
GROSS: Let me take a moment to reintroduce you here. My guest is Bill Hader, and he's nominated for an Emmy for his work on "Saturday Night Live." Let's take a short break here, then we'll talk some more. This is FRESH AIR.
GROSS: If you're just joining us, my guest is Bill Hader from "Saturday Night Live" and from many films, and he's nominated for an Emmy for his performances on "Saturday Night Live." Let's hear another clip from the Emmy-nominated episode, and this is a movie trailer, and you're both the narrator for the trailer, but you're also one of the many, many, many actors in the movie, and you are Alan Alda in this trailer. So here's my guest Bill Hader.
HADER: (As announcer) This Friday, from the makers of "Valentine's Day" and "New Year's Eve" comes the story of the whole world coming together on one night to celebrate the apocalypse.
(As Alan Alda) You know, I love this whole Armageddon thing, you know, brimstone and hellfire, you know. Just the other day, I strangled a guy for some flashlight batteries.
(As announcer) Starring literally thousands of your favorite celebrities...
GROSS: That's Bill Hader as the announcer and as Alan Alda in that trailer from "Saturday Night Live." So how did you start doing Alan Alda?
HADER: I started - that is such a good question. I think Lorne would love it if I came in, and I was like I got a really good Robert Pattinson or something, you know, somebody...
HADER: But instead, I'm like, you know, I was watching "Trouble in Paradise," I think I could get Herbert Marshall really well. And I don't - Lorne's - someone who's alive and working now. So Alan Alda was like the closest because I'm like he's in "Tower Heist," he's in "Wonderlust," he's still working. He's Alan Alda. I mean, he's a national treasure, you know.
And that came from watching "Crimes and Misdemeanors" with my wife, and I just started doing it watching the movie - 'cause he's so funny in that movie, and I was just doing it while we were watching the movie. And again, like John Mulaney, she was like, oh, you should do that on the show. And I was, like, oh, really?
And so we did it in, again, another sketch that Colin Jost wrote. It was audition tapes for "Back to the Future," and it was Alan Alda auditioning for the role of Biff, the bully. And he was like: Hey, why don't you make like a tree and get out of here. You know...
HADER: "I, I really love this. This is such a great, great script." And so we thought that was just really funny in that he's very nice, in that he's such a nice, gregarious guy and very complimentary. So, yeah, that - and then one time, John Mulaney and I tried to write a thing with Alan Alda. I will - this was what it was called in the sketch because there was that show out with William Shatner called, you know, "S - Expletive My Dad Says," you know what I mean?
So we had "My Roommate's a Blank Horse," an F-ing horse, and with Alan Alda. And it was him with this - you know, I've got this horse for a roommate. And it was him, like, trying to have a date, and he would come home and go, what, well, this horse is in the house. You know, it was like - and no one laughed.
HADER: We did it at the Wednesday table read, and it played to silence.
HADER: It was one of those things where we were doing it, and I'm doing it, and you can hear people, like, you know, folding their legs, you know, crossing their legs and like digging in their pockets to check their cell phone. You know, you can actually hear it. Like it was really bad.
GROSS: How old were you when you figured out you could do voices?
HADER: I remember I could do - I did Bart Simpson once on the bus. I did like a really good Bart Simpson voice on the bus, obviously before I hit puberty. And everybody went, whoa, that sounds just like Bart Simpson. And my wife said something interesting, she said my family, when we're all together, and we're telling a story, she said you guys all do voices. When you're telling a story, you do the voices of everyone in the story.
You don't just say oh, I ran into Mike at the grocery store, and he said blah, blah. I'd like I ran into Mike, and he was like: Well, hey guys, I was wondering, maybe - you know, it's like you do the impersonation of - Mike's a dummy, in case you were - for the purposes of this story, he's a dumb guy. No. But she just - you know, she's like you guys all do the voices of the people.
And so I think it just kind of was ingrained, I guess.
GROSS: So when you were growing up, who was the cast on "Saturday Night Live" that made the biggest impression on you? I know you've mentioned Phil Hartman.
HADER: Yeah, Phil Hartman, Dana Carvey, Jon Lovitz, Jan Hooks, Nora Dunn, Kevin Nealon, like, you know, that crew, Dennis Miller at "Update." That's when I first started watching the show. And yeah, it just had a huge effect on me. You know, that's actually the question - that's the first question Lorne Michaels asked me when I had my first meeting with him.
And I think our cast now has something similar in that way. I feel like with that cast, which was it felt - we're a really good ensemble, I think, right now. And I felt the same way about that cast. It was kind of like this really tight ensemble with really good actors. I mean, when you saw Jon Lovitz or Dana Carvey or Phil Hartman doing something, they were acting. It was real acting. Like, they were acting like that person. They weren't like - it wasn't even like they were really trying to go for a laugh, especially in Phil Hartman's case.
It wasn't like he was trying to be funny, you know. He was just being that person. And that's always been my favorite kind of comedic performing, like, you know, John Cleese and, you know, people like Gene Wilder in "Young Frankenstein," and things like that.
GROSS: So as we heard in the trailer for "Apocalypse," you know, you were the announcer. You do so many announcer voices. Why did that become one of your things?
HADER: You know what? I'll be honest. It was - that was a bit of a conscious thing on my part because when I showed up, it was like Darrell Hammond and Chris Parnell would get that, and I just remember thinking, oh, if I can kind of be the go-to guy for something, you know what I mean, maybe I could stick around here longer.
HADER: You know, maybe I could - like, oh, we need an announcer, we should get Bill. And I actually enjoy doing it. And I was never that great of a cold reader. So I would actually, I would actually practice at home. I would actually read a book out loud or read something out loud to just practice doing that for the table reads because you read most of it cold. You know, you just get a giant stack of sketches, like 40 sketches, you know, and we read - you know, and you're reading them all cold, and you're reading them really fast.
So I wanted to be able to do that, you know, at a moment's notice. And so I lucked out really because Chris Parnell left. You know, he left the show, and then it was, like, well, let's see if Bill can do these things, you know.
GROSS: Were there announcers that you used to do impressions of as a kid or that you especially enjoyed or thought were great or ridiculous on TV?
HADER: Oh, that's a really good question. I don't - I always grew up with people that I didn't know their names. Actually, you know what? Interestingly enough, Maya Rudolph, her husband is Paul Thomas Anderson, the filmmaker, and his dad was Ernie Anderson, and Ernie Anderson was the voice of ABC growing up, like "The Love Boat." You know what I mean?
GROSS: Yup.
HADER: And like "America's Funniest Home Videos." And so he was a guy I remember growing up with, and I didn't realize that until Paul was talking about him. He was, like, oh, my dad was this guy "Ghoulardi," you know. I was like wow, and I went on YouTube and went oh, that's your dad, you know. Like I love him.
GROSS: He was a horror TV movie host.
HADER: Yeah, yeah, and, you know, just being kind of an overall geek for stuff, just started devouring all that, you know, just going in and, you know, finding all the Ernie Anderson stuff and really funny and interesting. So yeah, he was a guy that without consciously doing it, I would do that, like, at school. You know, I would try to be doing those kind of voices.
Another guy, to be honest, fullheartedly ripping off is Phil Hartman. You know, he was a guy that I really liked on the show because he could do that. You know, he could be the announcer. He could be the lead in the sketch, like "Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer," that was one of my favorite SNL sketches of all time.
That was one I would do at school. I would walk around and do that in science class, like this photosynthesis. You know, I would, like, try to do that voice, but like at 9, you know. It didn't really sound right. He could be the lead in the sketch, but he also could be the dad in, you know, those Matt Foley sketches, where Chris Farley was the motivational speaker. He would be the dad and completely committed and engaged.
And I remember my dad saying that to me, like, yeah, everybody's laughing at Chris Farley, but look at Phil Hartman. I like watching Phil Hartman. And so, yeah, that - I feel like I took that approach when I got to the show.
GROSS: So in addition to all the announcers you do, you do a lot of game shows. Do you watch the Game Show Network just to get inspiration?
HADER: I don't know. No, I don't.
HADER: I don't. You know what the funny thing is? I will say Vince Blake, the one game show host - Simon Rich, Marika Sawyer and John Mulaney have written these game shows like "What's That Name?" I don't know if you remember that, where we did that, where someone would come out, and you would say, you know, he's the - he's a star of "Ocean's Eleven," and they'd be like George Clooney. I'm like that's right, you know, $15 for you.
And it's like all right, then - she starred in "Pretty Woman." Julia Roberts. That's right, $20 for you. And then I'd go: All right now, for $10 million, who is this? And it's like: Hey, I'm your doorman. I say hello to you every day. What's my name?
HADER: And it was so funny, and we did it with Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga, where Lady Gaga knew everybody's name, and Justin Timberlake didn't even remember one of his former band mates from N'Sync's name. Like he couldn't remember anybody's name.
And that character, Vince Blake, we have a back story for that he is independently wealthy guy, and he does this just because he hates people. He hates - he just - he hates all these people.
HADER: And he had this game show to just embarrass them and make them feel terrible.
GROSS: Bill Hader will be back in the second half of the show. He's nominated for an Emmy for his work on "Saturday Night Live." I'm Terry Gross, and this is FRESH AIR.
GROSS: OK. Let's talk Rick Perry.
GROSS: And I'm sure you wish you could do either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney right now, but those, those parts are taken. But you did a very funny Rick Perry during the primaries and you have a great parody of his oops moment during one of the debates, and I want to play an excerpt of that now. And Nasim Pedrad plays one of the journalists doing the questions. And so she's playing CNBC's Maria Bartiromo.
NASIM PEDRAD: (as Maria Bartiromo) Moving on to Governor Perry...
HADER: (as Rick Perry) Hey, Maria, before I - before I start - I want to say I know I've had some trouble in past debates. But tonight, I'm feeling good, I think I'm really gonna nail it. Texas high-five!
PEDRAD: All right. With emerging crises in Greece and Italy, what would you do to protect and grow the American economy?
HADER: (as Rick Perry) Well, the first thing I would do as president is cut government spending. So when I get to Washington, there are three - three - agencies, I'd cut immediately: Commerce, Education, and...
What's the third one there?
It's got away from me. Oops.
FRED ARMISEN: (as John Harwood): But, seriously, governor, what is the third department you'd cut?
HADER: Come on, man, I said oops.
OK, I got it - the three, the three departments I'd cut: Education, Commerce - eeeugh, why is this so hard? It's, it's up there somewhere, I can feel it dancing around. Come on.
Oh, and I-I-I know if I heard it...
ANDY SAMBERG: (as Ron Paul) EPA?
HADER: Yup. There It is. EPA. That's it. Thanks, Ron. Hey, hey how cool is little Ronnie Paul here, huh?
Huh, with his little birdie arms, huh?
It's the EPA - thank you.
ARMISEN: Is it really the EPA?
HADER: No, sir. No, sir. Well, I..
GROSS: OK. So that's my guest Bill Hader as Rick Perry and we also heard Fred Armisen in there as the journalist John Harwood asking some of the questions.
So it's always great to get a part as one of the, you know, politicians on "Saturday Night Live," especially during an election. How did you end up doing Perry?
HADER: Well, that was actually the second time I played Rick Perry. The first time was in an "Update" feature that Sarah Schneider and Zack Cannon, who are two of our new writers, wrote, making fun of his - where he was drunk and that video was kind of going all around the Internet. So Friday night, before the show, they came to me and said hey, do you want to play Rick Perry? Now, Alec Baldwin had played him already on the show, so he wasn't really - it was kind of like oh, Alec played him and no one has, we haven't had him on the show yet again. So, so they asked if I would do it and I kind of went like oh, yeah, sure. So I had to figure it out that night, you know...
GROSS: So, so since you had, since you had to get Perry overnight, basically you didn't have much time to prepare. What did you do to prepare? What did you try to pick up on that you've noticed he did?
HADER: He's from...
GROSS: Yeah.
HADER: Well, he's from Texas and I'm from Oklahoma, so that helped.
HADER: Because I just know people like, he kind of just sounds like, you know, gym teachers I used to have.
HADER: But, yeah, I don't know. It's just watching him kind of talk and I don't know, you just kind of - I've - I've figured out that I kind of, it's either, I can kind of get someone immediately or I don't. You know, like it immediately happens or it's never going to happen. You know, it's, it's like it, it rarely like - well, sometimes it improves. I did the guy from, I did Daniel Day-Lewis' character from "There Will Be Blood," and it got better as the week went along. But, yeah, I don't, I don't know, it's hard to describe. I remember asking Darrell Hammond that once. I go how do you prepare and do your impressions? And he just kind of was like, I don't know.
HADER: You just, I don't know, you just can do it. And, and I was like that's a good lesson, like don't overthink this. Just like, just go do it.
GROSS: What did you do for your "Saturday Night Live" audition?
HADER: I played Vinny Vedecci, the, the Italian talk show host doing impressions. So I did Vinny Vedecci doing Al Pacino, James Mason, Peter Falk - I can't remember. Oh...
GROSS: Gregory Peck?
HADER: Gregory Peck, thank you. And you know who else? That morning they called me. My audition was at two. My manager called me at nine in the morning and said they want a political impression from you and it can't be George Bush. And I, I was like oh, OK. And I just went on C-SPAN and I just, I saw this thing and it was like a live meeting of parliament and, and Tony Blair was up, went up and spoke and I listened to Tony Blair and then I called my friend who is from the U.K. and I, I was like, who's this? And I did it and he was like "is that supposed to be Tony Blair?" And I was like, let me, I'll call you right back.
HADER: And I watched it some more. And I call him, I go, all right, now who is this? And he was like "Tony Blair." And I was like yeah. And he's like, all right. And I hung up.
HADER: And, so yeah, I did, you know, Tony Blair and I had to come up with some bit for him like really fast, like in, in my dressing room before I went out to audition. And I remember getting in the elevator for my audition and there was a guy next to me who had a backpack full of props and wigs and things. And I went oh my god, that guy is so prepared. I have nothing. I have no props. And that was Andy Samberg.
HADER: And Andy Samberg said he was looking at me going, oh, that guy has no props, he doesn't need props.
HADER: And that, that was the first time we met, it was in that elevator.
GROSS: Oh, that's great. So you did Vinny Vedecci for your addition. And, you know, he's a character you've done on "Saturday Night Live" and he, he hosted a talk show and, you know, has on celebrities. But you once did him and this is on YouTube, for anybody who wants to see it. You once did him at Garage Comedy, which is a comedy club, I assume. And you were introduced by the MC as the replacement for a comic who had to cancel and she said, the comic we're going to hear is actually our busboy, but he used to be Italy's top comic impressionist back in 1985.
HADER: Right.
GROSS: And then, and then you come on stage and start like speaking in Italian or faux Italian.
HADER: Yeah, it's Italian gibberish. Yeah.
GROSS: Italian gibberish. Yeah. And, and then, so you start doing your impression. So I'm going to play just like an excerpt of that.
HADER: (as Vinny Vedecci) Impressioni, impressioni.
This is Mr. Gregory Peck in "To Kill The Mockingbird."
Very famous racecar driving actor.
(Italian gibberish) Scout, you are not a lady.
You're a tomboy. And you know what they call tomboys when they grow up, Scout? Bull dykes.
(Italian gibberish)
GROSS: So do the people in the audience know that you were Bill Hader, or did they really think that you were a busboy?
HADER: I think a lot of them knew I was, was, I think they knew it was a bit that I was doing.
GROSS: And why were you doing it? I mean were you testing something out?
HADER: That actually was before I was on "SNL," I think.
GROSS: Oh.
HADER: That was before I was even on "SNL." That was my first, that was me probably working out my audition is that clip.
GROSS: Oh.
HADER: I, when before I got "SNL," I would try stuff out at live audiences. And I was in a sketch group at the time and what happened was - quick version of a long story, Megan Mullally saw me in a show, recommended me to Lorne Michaels. Lorne Michaels came to LA and said I want to see you in your sketch show, the show that Megan Mullally saw. So we put on a sketch show and in it I did Vinny Vedecci doing impressions, kind of like what you heard, but as a sketch. So it was like I snuck an audition into a bigger sketch show. And Lorne - it went great, but Lorne, I think, kind of went, like oh, this, these are all his friends in the audience because the place is going crazy, they all know I'm here. So Lorne said you got to come to New York and do it...
HADER: ...at UCB theater, an audience where no one knows you. So we came and did the show in New York with the sketch group and we looked out, you know, in the audience and there's Tina Fey and Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler, and I was like oh, my gosh. I was like, plus with a bunch of New York people like who are these guys from LA, because they all knew well, look at all the "SNL" brass is here. Who are all these people? Oddly enough, just - Bobby Moynihan was in the audience, who later got on the show. And I did that when you kind of heard, that Vinny Vedecci. And I will always be thankful for this, Amy Poehler laughed really loud and it kind of made the whole audience relax - because they went oh, Amy Poehler finds this funny, we can kind of relax, this is funny. Like, this is great.
GROSS: So...
HADER: You know what I mean?
GROSS: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So...
HADER: It was this interesting thing.
GROSS: In the middle of what we heard, there's like a heckler or a plant - I'm not sure which, in the audience - that says, can't you do anybody current, you know? And then so you do Ted Nugent. So was he somebody who you planted there to heckle you or is he a genuine heckler?
HADER: Well, that's a good question. You know what? I don't know. I don't, it could be, it could have been a plant. I don't remember. But it really is, I didn't think about it until someone pointed out. It really just I think Andy Kaufman did a similar thing. I think it really is kind of just ripping off Andy Kaufman.
HADER: 'Cause I wasn't - I was too shy or - shy is not the word. I was flat-out scared to do real standup, you know, where people go out there and tell jokes and you're yourself. I don't know how people do that. I'll go to see John Mulaney or go see Louis CK or, you know, Hannibal Buress and these guys and you're like, I don't know how you do that, you know?
GROSS: You can't do that? You can't just do straight standup?
HADER: No. I - I, no. I don't know how they - I need, for me...
GROSS: You need a character?
HADER: I need a character.
HADER: I need people out there with me. So that was something I learned. I remember seeing "Bring The Pain," Chris Rock's special in '96 and after I watched that I remember being like, I can never do that. It was like, I don't know how you do that.
GROSS: My guest is Bill Hader. He's nominated for an Emmy for his work on "Saturday Night Live."
We'll talk more after a break. This is FRESH AIR.
GROSS: If you're just joining us, my guest is Bill Hader. And he's nominated for an Emmy for his performances on "Saturday Night Live."
One of the things that you're doing over this summer is "The Essentials Jr." on TCM - Turner Classic Movies. And Robert Osborne, who is one of the main hosts for the, for the network, does something called "The Essentials," in which he has on a guest host with him, often like Alec Baldwin or Drew Barrymore, and they talk about, like, a favorite film and introduce it. So you're doing this on your own, introducing films that are good for the whole family. So it's a range of, you know, like westerns like "Rio Bravo" and, you know, the Buster Keaton film "The General" and "The Invisible Man" you showed. So what were the movies you watched with your family? Did you watch old movies on TV or did your parents like rent videos and screen movies for you that they thought that you'd love?
HADER: Yeah. We, my family, we were a big movie family - even more so than television or books. Like my grandparents, I grew - my grandparents lived next door to us when we were growing up - my mom's parents - and they were, they were like the reading house.
HADER: And then like my mom's, mom and dad's house was the movie house. And pretty much every night we would watch a movie, especially during the summer. It was like our way of relaxing and it was all different types of films, everything from whatever was currently - like my dad would come home from the video store and go yeah, whatever. I got "Overboard," you know, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, let's watch this, to my mom going oh, my gosh, on Channel 13 is "To Kill A Mockingbird" or "The Enchanted Forest" or "Gone with the Wind." I remember watching all of "Gone with the Wind" on a Sunday with my parents. And it was a very communal thing. It was something that I still, my favorite kind of thing to do, like, with my wife is to watch a movie and get caught up in it. My wife and I recently watched the film "Take Shelter." I don't know if you saw that.
GROSS: Mm-hmm. Sure did.
HADER: It was fantastic. And that movie was - just getting caught up in it. And, one, a very clear memory I have is, is watching "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" with Charles Laughton."
GROSS: I love that film.
HADER: Watching that movie and the scene where he swings down and saves...
GROSS: Esmeralda.
HADER: Yeah, Esmeralda. But who's the actor? Is it Maureen O' Sullivan?
GROSS: Yeah. Mm-hmm. [POST-BROADCAST CORRECTION: Maureen O'Hara]
HADER: Yeah, Maureen O'Sullivan. Where he swings down and grabs her and I just remember the way it's shot, you see him way in the background, and then he kind of comes right into frame and picks her up. And it's just - it's an amazing shot, and the music kicks in, and I just remember when that happened, my mom going like - like gasping, you know, behind me and looking - and just her watching, going, oh, I just love this. I love that moment. You know?
GROSS: And then he climbs with her to the top of the Notre Dame cathedral and holds her out to the like thousands of peasants who are like storming the cathedral below. And he holds her up and he says: Sanctuary. Sanctuary.
HADER: Yeah. That moment is one of my favorite moments because it's a great film moment, but I just think of my mom when I - my mom getting like choked up. Like you describing it is very much how my mom talks about it. She goes, oh, I just, you know, and he does it and you're just like, oh, it's so amazing.
You know. So that feeling - you just want - you just become kind of like a junkie for it. And you just go, I just want to watch, I just want that feeling over and over again.
GROSS: When I was growing up in New York, "Million Dollar Movie," which was on channel nine in New York, used to show the same movie over and over all week. And the next week it would be a different movie shown over and over and over. And one of the movies that they frequently showed for a whole week was "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." And so the first time I saw it, I thought it was, like, about a quarterback.
GROSS: I was expecting it to be like a football movie.
HADER: Yeah, the hunchback...
GROSS: I was like too young to know the difference.
HADER: Just let me play.
GROSS: I want to be in this game.
HADER: He's the hunchback. We'll never let him play. We're Notre Dame. We're a big university. We're the Fighting Irish. We can't have a hunchback. It's like, just let him play, everybody. Sorry. Go ahead.
GROSS: So I was just - so I realized, OK, so it's not like about the quarterback of Notre Dame. It's like the hunchback of Notre Dame, but you know, but I'll watch it.
HADER: I'll play hunchback.
GROSS: Yeah, I'll watch.
GROSS: And then suddenly it's like they're crowning the king of fools and there's all these, like, you know, people trying to look like clowns, and suddenly you see the hunchback's face and he's so deformed and it was - I wasn't prepared for it. I was so frightened.
HADER: Yeah.
GROSS: And I made my family, like, turn off the television and put on "Texas Rangers," "Tales of Texas Rangers" instead. And then I used to, like, sneak a peek at it because it was so scary but thrilling. And then I'd watch the - and then just like - I realized what a beautiful, beautiful film it is.
HADER: Oh, yeah.
GROSS: Were you afraid the first time you saw it? Did it...
HADER: You know what? My parents were such movie nerds that they kind of told me everything. OK, it's got Charles Laughton and, you know, the first one, you know, had Lon Chaney, and you know, he did all these things with his face, but Charles Laughton - and I remember my mom saying Charles Laughton is the greatest actor who will ever live. And that's how I was introduced to the movie.
So that you're seeing - acting doesn't get better than this.
GROSS: My guest is Bill Hader. He's nominated for an Emmy for his work on "Saturday Night Live." More after a break. This is FRESH AIR.
GROSS: My guest is Bill Hader. He soon starts his eighth season on "Saturday Night Live." This summer he's been hosting the Turner Classic Movie series "Essentials Jr." So I know you wanted to direct before you became a cast member of "Saturday Night Live."
HADER: Yeah.
GROSS: Why did you want to direct?
HADER: I - growing up, that - I was more interested in the people behind the camera, to be totally - I would see a movie over and over and go like, oh, Steven Spielberg. OK. He did "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and he did "Close Encounters." Those are my two favorite movies right now. I'm six years old. You know, like he's a genius. Who is that guy?
I would go see movies more for the filmmaker than usually the actors in it. So Spielberg movies and George Lucas movies, but then as I got older, Martin Scorsese. And my parents, they would let us watch anything. I saw "A Clockwork Orange" when I was, like, 11, I think.
GROSS: Hmm. Wow.
HADER: My dad said, you know, there's some pretty tough stuff in this, but it's a great movie. But he just kind of trusted like, oh, you can handle it. You know, you'll be fine. I remember watching "The Wild Bunch" when I was really young and...
GROSS: Wow.
HADER: "Straw Dogs," all those Sam Peckinpah movies.
GROSS: So before you became a cast member on "Saturday Night Live" you wanted a career in directing. How close did you get to directing a movie?
HADER: I moved to L.A. and - with hopes of, like, getting a job making things and what happened is, like a lot of things, you get caught up. I got a job as a PA and you're like, hey, great, I have a job. I'll learn a lot on a film set. And they're 18-hour days, sometimes six days a week, if you're on, like, a low-budget movie.
And I did that for, like, three and a half, almost four years on films, like low-budget movies to big-budget movies like "Collateral Damage," Sam Raimi's "Spiderman" movie, you know, things like that.
And I didn't do anything creative that entire time because I just was like, I need to pay the bills. So I stopped doing that and I go, I need a job where I can get out at 6 p.m. So I started a job as a post-production assistant on a Lifetime television show, and that led to me being assistant editor at a place called Triage Entertainment.
We did shows like "Iron Chef America" and shows for the Food Network and things like that. And you know what? I still wasn't doing anything creative.
HADER: I was, like, enjoying L.A. and being in my 20s. And so my friend, Eric Filokowski (ph) said, hey, man, you want to come see my Level Five show at Second City? And I said sure. I have no idea what that means, but yeah. And I went there, and that's when I realized, oh, there's people my age performing sketch comedy and performing improv theater.
And I just was like, oh, I should - I need to be doing something creative. I've been here for almost, you know, five years at that point and I've done nothing creative. I'm going to do that. And so, yeah, filmmaking got kind of lost in there.
GROSS: So the new season of "Saturday Night Live" starts in September and, you know, a lot of people are buzzing, gee, what's it going to be like now without Andy Samberg and without Kristen Wiig, who both left at the end of last season. Are you glad that you're staying on the show? Was it a hard decision whether to renew your contract or leave the show and try to have more of a movie career?
HADER: No. It was pretty easy. I mean I have been contracted for another season for a couple of years and, you know, I love it there. I mean, the thing with Andy and Kristen that was hard for me personally, they were part of the group along with Jason Sudeikis that I came in with.
So when you come in with a group of people, you all kind of become - your careers get a giant boost at the same time. You know what I mean? And you all hit the same learning curve at the same time. You know what I mean? And so I feel very close to them. You know? They're almost like siblings to me.
So when they left, it was kind of like, you know, your sibling's going off to college. You know what I mean? It's like, oh, we're not going to share a house anymore. It was that kind of feeling, where - it was very emotional. Yeah. I will be honest. I was surprised at how emotional it was.
I was like, oh, I'm going to see you guys. Like, we're friends - you know. But after the show, yeah, in the hallway and stuff with Andy and Kristen, I mean we were all - Andy and I were a mess.
GROSS: So let's squeeze in just one more clip before we have to end. When Clint Eastwood had the commercial at the halftime of the Super Bowl, the ad for Chrysler in which it was like it's halftime in America and everybody was like, what does he mean politically?
And Republicans were saying this was an unfair ad because he's, you know, it's really a commercial for the Democrats and for President Obama, and Clint Eastwood denied that. And as it turns out, he's endorsing Mitt Romney now.
HADER: Romney. Yeah, I know. You know what? That's so funny. I thought about that commercial when I saw that he endorsed Romney. I was like, I wonder how they're all feeling right now. He's like - I told you.
HADER: No one listens to me.
GROSS: Yeah. So what's the secret of doing Clint Eastwood? First of all, you hike up your pants, which is really funny.
HADER: Which is from "Gran Torino." He has really high pants.
GROSS: "Gran Torino." Yeah, yeah. So is, like, one of the lines about get off my lawn, is also from that film.
HADER: Yeah. I love Clint Eastwood. I'm a big fan. Again, going back to the movie watching thing, watching "High Plains Drifter" and "Dirty Harry" when I was a kid, and "Where Eagles Dare" and things like that. But it's actually interesting because you try to do his voice - you know, kind of the way he would talk back then, and then you just make it gravelly. You know?
Yeah. That and Al Pacino are the two voices that I do that actually blow out my voice. That I, that - like when we did that commercial, I was hoarse for, like, 24 hours.
GROSS: Well, I want to thank you so much for joining with us. It's really been fun. Thanks for being with us, and I want to say...
HADER: It was a huge pleasure. No. Are you kidding? This is huge.
GROSS: Oh, it was so much fun. So here's Bill Hader as Clint Eastwood in a parody of the Super Bowl halftime commercial, and he's nominated for an Emmy for his work on "Saturday Night Live." Thanks again.
HADER: Thank you. Thank you so much.
HADER: During the Super Bowl I said it was halftime for America. I said Motor City's getting back on its feet. I tried to make an inspiring ad that would rally our country. But you dummies in the media thought it was about politics. Well, guess what? Halftime's over. We're in the third quarter now, America, and we're way behind.
So I don't care if Obama runs the ball or Romney throws a touchdown or Ron Paul kicks a field goal with his tiny little chicken legs. I'll tell you right now, though. I ain't putting Santorum in the game. He can stand on the sideline doing cheers in his little sweater vests. (Bleep)
Who's this commercial for again? All right. Chrysler. Get a Chrysler. And get off my damn lawn.
GROSS: Bill Hader soon begins his eighth season on "Saturday Night Live." This summer he's been hosting the Turner Classic Movie series "Essentials Jr." The season concludes Sunday with the 1941 film "Ball of Fire."

Reducing energy bills without sacrificing comfort involves improving the efficiency of your HVAC system and making smart choices:
– Invest in a programmable or smart thermostat to optimize temperature settings.
– Seal windows, doors, and any gaps to prevent air leaks.
– Upgrade insulation in your home.
– Ensure your HVAC system is regularly serviced for peak performance.
– Consider replacing older, inefficient systems with Energy Star-rated models.
It's recommended to have your HVAC system serviced at least once a year. For optimal performance:
– Air conditioning units should be serviced in the spring before the hot months.
– Heating systems, whether furnaces or heat pumps, should be serviced in the fall before the cold season.
Regular servicing helps in early detection of potential issues, ensures energy efficiency, and prolongs the system's lifespan.
While repairs can often fix issues, there are signs that indicate a system might need replacement:
– The system is over 15 years old and frequently breaks down.
– Energy bills are consistently rising without a change in usage patterns.
– The system struggles to maintain desired temperatures or runs continuously.
– You're facing expensive repairs, especially if the cost approaches or exceeds half the price of a new system.
– The system uses outdated refrigerants, like R-22.
Consult with an HVAC professional to evaluate whether a repair or replacement is more cost-effective.
The average lifespan of a residential HVAC system is typically between 15 to 20 years. However, this can vary based on the type of system, usage, and maintenance practices. To extend the lifespan of your HVAC system:
– Schedule regular maintenance and tune-ups with a professional.
– Replace air filters every 2-3 months or as recommended by the manufacturer.
– Ensure the outdoor unit is clear of debris and has proper airflow.
– Use a programmable thermostat to reduce unnecessary strain on the system.
There are several reasons why an air conditioner might freeze up:
– Restricted airflow due to dirty filters or blocked return air ducts.
– Low refrigerant levels, often caused by leaks.
– Malfunctioning fan motors.
– Dirty or blocked evaporator coils.
If you notice ice on your unit, turn off the AC to prevent further damage and call a professional HVAC technician. Regular maintenance can help prevent such issues.
