Fans React to Bill Hader’s Absence From Anniversary Special

Feb 18, 2025

This SNL 50 show has nearly everything—except Bill Hader’s long-awaited return.

For Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary special Feb. 16, dozens of SNL cast members from across all seasons—including Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Pete Davidson—returned to the Studio 8H stage to reprise some of their most iconic roles. However, there were a few notable omissions. In addition to OG cast member Dan Aykroyd, one beloved cast member missing was Bill, a regular on the sketch comedy show from 2005 to 2013.

But while he didn’t walk the red carpet, it was him missing from Weekend Update as renowned New York City correspondent Stefon that cemented to fans that he wouldn’t make a surprise appearance.

“Watching the snl special,” one fan shared on X, formerly Twitter, “just thought i was gonna see bill hader as Stefon but no it’s just another Sunday.”

Another fan echoed on social media, “Wow, I guess Bill Hader really isn’t going to be on the show.”
