'SNL' Star Bill Hader Talks the New Season, Jon Hamm's Return and His 'Surreal Life' Experience with Corey Feldman

'Saturday Night Live' begins its 36th season this week (Sept. 25, 11:30PM ET, NBC), and one of the highlights of the venerable sketch comedy series for the last five seasons has been the hilarious Bill Hader, whose dead-on impressions of Vincent Price and Al Pacino, plus original characters like chain-smoking Italian talk show host Vinny Vedicci and excited 'Weekend Update' City Correspondent Stefon, have made him a fan favorite.

The Oklahoma native's big break came when 'Will & Grace' star Megan Mullally saw him perform in Los Angeles and recommended that 'SNL' producer Lorne Michaels fly him to New York for an audition. He's also a frequent big-screen presence in movies like 'Superbad,' 'Tropic Thunder,' 'Hot Rod,' 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs' and 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.'

As he enjoyed his last week of summer vacay last week, he talked to AOL TV about the new season, the potential of a Stefon movie, his favorite 'SNL' guest hosts, the inspiration behind 'SNL's kissing family, the comedic skills of Tom Cruise and his reality TV past.
