Life after "SNL": what Bill Hader will miss most

Bill Hader on leaving "SNL": "I'm now just a fan" 07:02

(CBS News)This season of "Saturday Night Live" is the first in eight years that will not include veteran cast member Bill Hader.

But Hader says he'll definitely be watching this weekend's premiere. Hader said on "CBS This Morning," "It's funny, because at ('SNL' writer) Seth Meyer's wedding I went to a couple of weeks ago, I'm just like a fan. I'm going, 'So what are you guys going to be doing this year?' You know what I mean. Now I'm just back to the way it was before I got the show. ... I will miss it. Eight years is a long time. But I loved being on the show. The new people they have -- I've been watching all their stuff online. The new people are just fantastic. So I think it's going to be good."

But Hader said he'll miss what he and fellow cast member Kristen Wiig called the show's "Friday night crazies." He explained, "You'd be up Monday, basically you don't sleep all week, and Friday night during rehearsal we would get really loopy and a lot of great stuff would come out of those."

These days, Hader is appearing in films as a voice actor. His latest project is the voice of "Flint Lockwood" in the new film: "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2." For more on that movie -- and to watch Hader's Charlie Rose impression, as performed in front of Charlie Rose on the set of "CTM", watch his full interview above.
