Saturday Night Live brought back one of its strongest recent alums, Bill Hader, this weekend, and while the show got a great Stefon update out of the deal, it didn't take full advantage of Hader's hosting gig. This quite solid Gossipy Coal Miner sketch was reportedly cut for time, but it might have been because Hader was about to crack up through the whole thing.

Bill Hader returned to Saturday Night Live as host last night, which, of course, means Stefon returned to the Weekend Update desk. Check out his New New York advice for tourists, people wanting something upscale, and dumb folks looking to just get murdered.

Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader are making the promo rounds for their new film The Skeleton Twins, which recently brought them in front of Denver entertainment reporter Chris Parente. Though he gave it his best shot, poor old Parente just could not pull off pretending he'd actually seen the movie.

Bill Hader stopped by to chat with his old pal Seth Meyers on Late Night last night, where the two reminisced on their weepy SNL parting and the faux Stefon-Seth wedding. Known as a character primarily comprised of Hader breaking into laughter, he explained that the reason Stefon always put his hands up to his face was because the way Meyers would respond to the character made him laugh, too. "A person being patient with an insane person is my favorite thing in the world," he said.

This post contains some information about the movie The Skeleton Twins that could be considered spoilers. It's a great movie, and you should see it without knowing too much about it, so enter at your own risk.

As part of his pitch to J.J. Abrams for a role in the new Star Wars films, Bill Hader showed Conan O'Brien his best imitations of two lesser known characters. You've never seen a better impression of dying tauntaun. And Hader's Jabba the Hutt isn't bad either.

Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2, an animated film starring Bill Hader’s voice and Tacodile Supremes, topped the weekend box office with $35 million. Don Jon, Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s masturbatory masturbation flick, opened in fifth place with $9 million.

At 3:47 this afternoon, Gawker received an email from a publicist inquiring whether we "might be able to fit" a photo of a MYSTERY CELEB on the website today.

On a recent episode of Bill Simmons' B.S. Report, guest Bill Hader talked at length about his hugely popular recurring SNL character Stefon — particularly how he and co-writer John Mulaney come up with all those crazy New York hot spots.

On last night's Saturday Night Live, Paula Deen stopped by the Weekend Update desk to explain all the allegations against her, including hiding her diabetes, mismanagement of her restaurant and her use of the N word: nutrition.

Saturday Night Live opened its 37th season tonight with a parody of Thursday's Fox News/Google Republican presidential debate. Despite being too long and wrought with cliche—Newt Gingrich has a huge head! Michele Bachmann's eyes are crazy!—the sketch managed to work thanks to Bill Hader as debate moderator Shep Smith and Alec Baldwin as the same confused, babbling version of Rick Perry that showed up to the real thing. A video of highlights is above; the full sketch is viewable here.

So, Tina Fey hosted Saturday Night Live this week! She was OK, but nothing from the episode really stood out... that is, until Bill Hader reprised his role as Stefon—Weekend Update's club-hopping "City Correspondent"—who came armed with the most ridiculous suggestions imaginable for a Mother's Day out. The bit succeeded in its own right, but the fact that Hader broke character about 20 times to regain his composure made everything funnier.

On tonight's Elton John-hosted SNL, Tom Hanks made a cameo—a Laser Cats (The Musical!) Digital Short cameo! Faced with the kidnapping of his Castaway companion, Wilson, Hanks was forced to pitch the horribly low-budget film to Lorne Michaels.

When Bill Hader sat down with Carson Daly, we learned how he first got into comedy, where his sketch group first practiced (in Nick Offerman's workshop, of all places) and how he made it onto Saturday Night Live.

SNL's resident alien Bill "Greg" Hader plays an ET-hunting G-man in Paul, but in reality he's comfortingly nerdy, bonding with the film's cast over comics and re-enacting all of the other iconic movies filmed in Las Vegas, New Mexico.

The Late Show might not have had that appearance from Lindsay Lohan last night, but it did have the hilarious Bill Hader on as a guest. He explains exactly how he and SNL writer John Mulaney came up with Stefon.

After Chris Brown fist-pumped his way around the Studio 8H stage on tonight's Saturday Night Live, an otherwise lagging Weekend Update segment was brought to life by Stefon, Bill Hader's hilariously lovable, perpetually partied out club kid and "City Correspondent."

In this new VW spot we attempt to find out who is more sophisticated, the new Touareg or Bill Hader? The Toureg might have great power steering but Bill Hader apparently owns Shakespeare's bones. Prepare for a battle of wits.

Bill Hader's impression of the founder of WikiLeaks appeared again on SNL with a list of sites he'll mess with until he's out of jail. The list will affect us all: Amazon, Orbitz, Facebook, Farmville, and the beloved Netflix queue.

Last night Conan returned. Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert joined him on stage for a dance-off! SNL's Bill Hader showed up as his Stefon character to pull Conan's lever. As CoCo returns triumphantly, pop culture hell basically breaks loose.
