Hader grew up with writer Duffy Boudreau, with whom he later collaborated. He says he "had a hard time focusing in class" and "was always joking around". Feeling he did not fit in, Hader filled his time watching movies and reading. He appreciatedMonty Python,British comedy,and the films ofWoody AllenandMel Brooks,much of which his father showed him.[11]He made short films with friends and starred in a school production ofThe Glass Menagerie.[12]He was unable to gain admission to top film schools because of his "abysmal" grades, so he enrolled atThe Art Institute of Phoenix,[13]and laterScottsdale Community College.[11]Hader's first job was as a Christmas tree salesman. He was also an usher at aTempecinema, where he could see films for free, but was fired for spoiling the ending ofTitanic(1997) for unruly viewers.[14][15]At Scottsdale Community College, he met Nicholas Jasenovec, who later directedPaper Heart(2009).[16]In May 2024, Hader gave the commencement speech forChapman University's graduating class and received anhonorary P.h.D.[17]

Career

1999–2004: Early career

edit

Hader's aspirations of becoming a filmmaker eventually led him to drop out of college and move to Los Angeles in 1999.[7][11]His parents supported his decision, and let him use the money they had saved for his education for his living expenses.[12]He found work as a production assistant (PA) while scouring the back pages ofThe Hollywood Reporter,[18]and hoped to become anassistant director.[18]He spent much of his life as a young man "lonely and underemployed" and large amounts of his time watching movies.[18]He regularly worked 18-hour days as a PA, leaving little time to pursue his creative ambitions.[12]He was a PA on the documentaryEmpire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy(2004) and the feature filmsJames Dean(2001),Spider-Man(2002) andCollateral Damage(2002).[7][19]He was also a post-production assistant on theVH1reality showThe Surreal Life(2003–2006).[20]He was briefly a PA and stage manager onPlayboy TV's sexual fantasy showNight Calls,[21][22][23]but soon quit as he feared it would disappoint his parents.[15]He eventually quit being a PA altogether after a bad experience while shootingThe Scorpion King(2002).[18]

Hader subsequently got a job as a night-time assistant editor at the post-production facility Triage Entertainment.[12][18]He invested money in his own short film, but was too embarrassed to release it. Shortly thereafter, he and his then-longtime girlfriend broke up.[24]Desperate for a change, he began attending comedy classes with friends atimprovisational comedyenterprisethe Second Cityin March 2003.[13]He quickly realized that comedy was the creative outlet he had been looking for,[12]and soon he, his new comedy compatriot Matt Offerman, and their two friends and fellow humor enthusiasts Eric Filipkowski and Mel Cowan formed a sketch comedy group,[25]which they called Animals from the Future, and performed frequently for small audiences at backyard shows in Van Nuys.[18]Matt's brother, actorNick Offerman,told his wife,Megan Mullally,about them.[26][27]After attending one of their backyard shows, Mullally told Hader she wanted to discuss him withLorne MichaelsofSaturday Night Live(SNL). After Mullally's recommendation, Hader was invited to fly to New York to audition forSNLproducers. He had no material prepared when he was invited to audition, and was nervous and struggled to display his strengths during the audition. This resulted in his spontaneous imitation of an Italian man he had once overheard; the impression later become Vinny Vedecci, the first of his many recurring characters on the show.[18]As a result of the audition, Hader got an agent and manager.[11]Just before he was invited to work onSNL,he worked as an assistant editor onIron Chef America.[28]
