#BillHader was among the handful of
#SNL alumni who did not attend the show’s 50th anniversary special
#SNL50 earlier this year, and is now sharing that anxiety was responsible for his absence.
Looking back at his time on SNL, he explains, “I could just in the middle of a thing go, like, ‘This sucks! I’m gonna go home!’ I’m like, ‘Oh, man, I wish I could [be less anxious]. That’d be great.’”
Hader talked openly about having anxiety that led to panic attacks during his time on the sketch comedy series, and he spoke out about it further in a 2022 THR cover story. More details at link in bio.
