‘SNL’ Alum Bill Hader Tells Bizarre Story of How He Got Fired

The comedian revealed how he once got canned from a movie theater.

Saturday Night Live star Bill Hader opened up about the bizarre reason he was once fired—with many fans claiming he did nothing wrong. Joining John Mulaney’s show, Everybody’s Live, the 46-year-old comedian revealed the boisterous story of the time he was fired for spoiling the 1997 movie Titanic when he worked at a movie theater. “Titanic hadn’t come out yet, and a sorority had bought out the movie theater, and they were in the doorway,” the actor explained. After asking them to move out of the way, Hader claimed that the girls had begun to make fun of his looks. “They said I looked like Charles Manson—which I kinda did,“ he continued. Bowtie on and cummerbund fastened, Hader tore up the movie tickets, telling them: “Enjoy the movie. The boat sinks at the end. Leo dies.” Many fans posted on X their support for the star, saying that the girls had what was coming. “I would have done the same thing,” wrote one X user. “Legend,” commented another.
