Saturday Night Live alum Bill Hader let his inner super fan get the best of him when Martin Scorsese made an appearance in a 2012 sketch, ending with him being escorted out of the director’s dressing room by the shirt. Hader told the story to Ari Aster on the latest episode of the A24 Podcast. “‘Oh my god, Scorsese is doing a bit,’” Hader recalled thinking when Scorsese made an appearance in a sketch during his SNL tenure, on the show’s 37th season. “And he was so nice, but I just went into his dressing room and just immediately, just was like, ‘I’m going to go see a Shirley Clarke movie tomorrow, blah blah blah blah blah,’” Hader said. “I just wanted to rap with him so badly about movies,” he continued, adding that he “could tell” he was wearing out his welcome. “He was like ‘Good.’ He’s like, ‘Oh yeah, you’re great. Yeah, you’re great.’ And then the producer just pulled my shirt like, ‘Bill, get out of his dressing room, please.’” Hader has earned recognition for his own directing skills, securing several directing Emmy nominations and DGA Awards. “I’ve seen him since then and it was great,” he added, “but that’s one of those things, like for two weeks, “I’m like, ‘What the was wrong with me? Why did I do that?’”
