And then they auditioned him for a piece, and Lorne called me to say Pete got the show.
I was like, Oh my God, thats wonderful!'
Michaels went on to drop even more news on Hader.
And then he said, Uh, also, do you want to host?
It was a total afterthought, Hader says with a laugh.
The phone call was about Pete, thats what we were talking about.
And then he goes, By the way, do you want to host October 11th?
I was just in my car!
Speaking of the Chris Pratt-hostedSNLpremiere, Hader said he was very impressed by what he sawespecially a certain sketch.
That video that Kyle Mooney had made with Beck [Bennett]?
Oh my God, that video made me laugh so hard!
Goddamnit, that was funny.
Hader will get his wish October 11th, when he returns to his old stomping grounds.
Moral of the story?
Always pick up the phone when Lorne Michaels is calling.
