Saturday Night Live is losing another show staple as Bill Hader announced on Tuesday that he will depart at the end of the season.
Hader joined 'SNL' eight years ago, quickly making a name for himself with characters like Stefon, James Carville and the oddball game show host. His exaggerated expressions were priceless, and his dance moves were incomparable.
Before Hader leaves us with a Bill-shaped hole in our Saturday evenings, let's look back at all the reasons he stole our hearts from the get-go.
He makes political-types like James Carville look cool
