, on June 7, 1978,
[2]
the son of dance teacher Sherri Renee (nee Patton; b. 1956)
[5]
and
air cargo
company owner, restaurant manager, truck driver, and occasional stand-up comedian William Thomas Hader (b. 1953).
[6]
[7]
He has two younger sisters, Katie and Kara.
[6]
His ancestry includes
Danish
, English, German and Irish.
[1]
[8]
He attended Patrick Henry Elementary School,
Edison Junior High
and
Cascia Hall Preparatory School
.
[9]
[10]
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 appreciated
Monty Python
,
British comedy
, and the films of
Woody Allen
and
Mel Brooks
, much of which his father showed him.
[11]
He made short films with friends and starred in a school production of
The Glass Menagerie
.
[12]
He was unable to gain admission to top film schools because of his "abysmal" grades, so he enrolled at
The Art Institute of Phoenix
,
[13]
and later
Scottsdale Community College
.
[11]
Hader's first job was as a Christmas tree salesman. He was also an usher at a
Tempe
cinema, where he could see films for free, but was fired for spoiling the ending of
Titanic
(1997) for unruly viewers.
[14]
[15]
At Scottsdale Community College, he met Nicholas Jasenovec, who later directed
Paper Heart
(2009).
[16]
In May 2024, Hader gave the commencement speech for
Chapman College
's graduating class and received an
honorary 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 of
The Hollywood Reporter
,
[18]
and hoped to become an
assistant 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 documentary
Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy
(2004) and the feature films
James Dean
(2001),
Spider-Man
(2002) and
Collateral Damage
(2002).
[7]
[19]
He was also a post-production assistant on the
VH1
reality show
The Surreal Life
(2003?2006).
[20]
He was briefly a PA and stage manager on
Playboy TV
's sexual fantasy show
Night 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 shooting
The 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 at
improvisational comedy
enterprise
the Second City
in 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, actor
Nick 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 with
Lorne Michaels
of
Saturday Night Live
(
SNL
). After Mullally's recommendation, Hader was invited to fly to New York to audition for
SNL
producers. 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 on
SNL
, he worked as an assistant editor on
Iron Chef America
.
