“When
I
was
on
SNL,
I
was
a
bit
of
a
basket
case,”
he
told
Variety
in
2019.
“It
could
not
have
been
easy
on
my
wife
at
the
time.
I
was
so
consumed
with
work
and
anxiety.
Sometimes
I
felt
like
people
thought,
‘Oh,
he’s
just
wanting
attention
or
something.’
It
was
like,
‘No,
man,
I’m
legit.
I’m
freaking
out
right
now.’”
Even
after
leaving
the
show,
the
stressful
memories
kept
Hader—who
shares
daughters
Hannah,
15,
Harper,
12,
and
Hayley,
10,
with
Carey—from
revisiting
his
past
sketches.
“I
never
saw
any
of
the
stuff
I
did,”
he
continued.
“I
think
a
nanny
showed
my
kids
Stefon,
or ‘The
Californians’
or
something.
They
came
in
and
were
like,
‘Dad,
look
at
this.’
I
was
like,
‘Oh,
yeah.
There
I
am.’”
But
while
Hader
was
certainly
missed,
he
wasn’t
the
only
former
cast
member
absent
from
SNL’s
birthday
celebration.
Inaugural
cast
member
Dan
Aykroyd
was
also
missing
from
the
night’s
crowd,
though
he
gave
a
shout
out
two
days
prior.
