Watch Bill Hader Meet His Idol, Dateline's Keith Morrison, For The 1st Time | Sunday TODAY
Girl: I didn't do this. Bill: She was _fully_ involved with this.
😂😂😂😂
i feel like hader and morrison are genetically related ... "that pesky DNA..."
Bill was struck, he couldn't even look at Keith, he was in pure heaven.
He was nervous
He started to freak out when Keith was doing the reading! This was the best! Love Bill!
Love Bill AND Keith!!
I’d be star struck too!! Keith is the man!!!
I think they are relatives! Same shape of face, i think they should do a Genealogy. See if they belong to the same family 🌲 tree!
It is SO cool watching Hader act like a little kid meeting his idol. So genuine. Really enjoyed this clip.
funny how much they resemble each other. physically.
Bill Hader's laughter is pure joy ❤
May all of us experience happiness on the level of Bill Hader meeting Keith Morrison
My all-time favorite joke Hader has done as Keith Morrison is: “You found your brother in the trunk, eh? ..... Was he alright?”
I just spit all over my phone laughing hahaha
Yesssss LOL
😅 It's kind of morbidly funny bc there was a case where a woman was found in a trunk still alive. She went brain dead and was eventually taken off life support. 😔
"He shot me." "Shot you a dirty look?"
The drowning clown part was the best. He just..... floated.
bill: "I cant give him pointers, he's the perfect- most- he's the master.....I dont know how you get better than kEITH MORRISON!!!"
liv H I loved that moment 😂
I loved that
As a fellow Dateline fan, it's just comforting to know there's someone else out there who knows and loves the quirky, beautiful oddities of delivery brought by Keith and Lester.
There are alot of us that love dateline
@@californiausa7622Exactly. Dude makes it seem like he’s unique for being a dateline fan.
I have never seen anything with Bill Hader where he comes off as disingenuous or fake. He's so utterly, powerfully sincere.
Super talented, seemingly super sincere. He has a reputation as extremely easy to work with and professional. Bill Hader’s a top 5 all time talent on SNL.
“So your dad shot you in the face... that must have been pretty wild...” 😂
Ian Smith “what’d you do after?”
So, you got to meet your idol Keith Morrison... That must've been wild.
I can hear this comment
It's 2AM, I'm watching on headphones, trying to be quiet... and that made me laugh out loud.
@@ellaseibz9365 Omg YES!! I was thinking the same thing! 👂 Lmao
oh when he said "it was pretty rad" in that tiny voice I fully cried
ⁱᵗ ʷᵃˢ ᵖʳᵉᵗᵗʸ ʳᵃᵈ
@@jodie8453 kinda late there, timmy
"Fully Involved"
It really was rad - the vocal lead in Morrison did was awesome.
I think Bill's impressions of Keith are so good because they come from a place of genuine admiration. Super fun to see them together!
So true! I’m pretty sure Norm MacDonald said something about how the best impressions come from a place of admiration.
@@LovePixels- Norm MacDonald! I was going to reply the same thing!
I love how anyone who meets an idol instantly becomes the 10 year old version of themselves. Bills explanation of the history of the impression had that rambling excited energy of a child showing off their latest trick/accomplishment for their favorite aunt/uncle that they never get the chance to see because they live on the other side of the country. Super heartwarming.
Bill is going to have a "Keanu Reeves" moment two or three years from now... And he deserves it
Save this comment bro! Great prediction
hopefully longer, he can only go up from here
I think it's called a "Liam Neeson"
He really does
well said
Seeing Bill’s pure joy throughout this video cleansed my skin.
*soul
*underwear
Ew.
Yeah my pimples just disappeared
*car
one of the best pieces of advice i've ever heard about anxiety came from Bill, and it's to just acknowledge the nerves and the stress and to take the narrative out, saying "i'm anxious, this is me anxious." (rather than "i'm anxious because of..."). and he actually does this here 4:43 and i feel like that just adds to how much closer this makes us feel to him, that he's just like the rest of us.
Thank you for this gem sis💖
Awesome! Gonna use it!! ❤
another advice he gave on anxiety that really stuck with me was that we would do something on air that he hadn't prepared so that he can feel like he already screwed up then he can relax. I don't know why but it's the only advice on anxiety that I've heard and actually really helped me.
My psychologist tells me the exact same thing, she just calls it a labelling technique
yes, i realized that!! its awesome. makes me feel so much better. hes such a sweethart.
My absolute favorite “Geek” moment! Bill is genuinely nervous and “geeked out” meeting Keith. Then the promo. Perfect.
They should have done an episode together - the ratings would have been through the roof!
It's this and Adam Scott reacting to Mark Hamill..
Bill Hader is such a Keith Morrison fan girl. I love how hard he is geeking out. He's met so many famous people and this is him star struck... by Keith Morrison.
I love how niche his fandom is
That's exactly what I thought: he's totally fan-girling over Keith! And I love it so much. Lol
“One of these is keith Morrison’s locker”
Conan O'brien and...maybe it was Hader, spoke about meeting people. And a lot of where one gets star struck is those people you saw on TV as a child. For Conan it was Done Knotts.
@@mikequinlivan8842 I looooove Conan
I swear Bill Hader's voice got two octaves higher the moment Keith Morrison popped in. 😂
It did 😂😂
I just saw this now! (2023!) I totally agree!!
how could you not ya know? lol
Keith Morrison is the Vin Scully of True Crime. He has the voice of a Radio personality from the 30s or 40s. No screen, they did it all with their voices. Bill Hader is very bright, scorchingly observant and clearly able to appreciate this.
I really like Stacy Keach narrating stuff as well.
I'm so glad that Keith Morrison is the exception to the saying, "Never meet your heroes". Bill was so happy to meet his idol, and his idol appreciated him back. So cool.
Please someone make a whole show of making Bill Hader's dreams coming true. It's wondrous to watch!
I never knew how much I wanted to see Bill Hader happy before this.
This
Watch Adam Scott meet mark hamil
@@jlogger420 Ah yes! Another great moment of pure joy. :-)
Great idea!
when he said “that was pretty rad” in tiny letters. ..... ok baby. .....
Madison Luyao he babey billy tehe
Bill Hader fan girls are a WEIRD lot.
Ben Skywalker agreed. But yet. Here we are
1:26
That's the PERFECT description for it 🤣❤️
Seeing Bill Hader this genuinely happy to meet his idol is amazing.
I produced this for Sunday Today and don’t think I’ll ever top it. Could have aired it live. Was thinking Bill would do Keith’s impression back to him during the audio booth moment but he was just in a state of shock 😂❤.
So you met Keith Morrison... that must have been wild!
I was psyched.
"or wasn't it"? *(you know .... in that voice!)
😂😂😂
"That pesky DNA" that's definitely a Keith Morrison line
Thats right up there with "and I would have gotten away with it too!" 🤣
it is for sure! lol
Oh that pesky DNA @@fanmad-hg4nf
100%
I got to meet Keith Morrison at a dateline premier event that was open to the public in 2018. While I was waiting to get in he took a picture with me and took the time to have a conversation with. Really nice guy. I felt as starstruck as Bill.
Keith Morrison a Canadian legend
Bill, "Your Dad shot you in the face? That must've been wild." LMFAO
Hope Springs I’m drying 😂😂😂😂
Yes!!
FATLACES THEDON LMAO!!! 😄👍🏼
I died
Hader's humility despite his own status shows his character.
He's great
The most humble people are natures finest gift to us. Hader is so good, watching his reactions just showed more of his genius.
He's like a young Bill Murray. He's only going to get more awesome as he gets older I think.
Couldn’t have said it better! Nice!👍👍
He’s a total dream! Haha
Bill nervously rocking back in forth is such a mood
Bill seems like the most genuinely nice guy in all of Hollywood. Seeing him starstruck like this was really wholesome.
he can’t even look at him because he’s so star struck omg
Bill Hader. Giant child. This was fun to watch😂
Holly A Bill Hader is a grownup Pete Davidson. Love them both.
Agreed. He's just so pure of heart.
One of my crime podcasts “true crime obsessed” talked about this moment and had to come watch...I am not disappointed. This is adorable!
I LOVEEEEEE TCO!!!
@@nataliepowell465 best podcast out there!!
I literally rewatch this video when I’m sad. Bill Hader’s love for Dateline is such a mood, and I’m here for it.
How Bill Hader reacted to meeting Keith Morrison is how I would react to meeting Bill Hader. Coolest guy on Earth!
Me too!
“Oh, that pesky DNA” Hilarious!
This is my favorite example of Bill's "Pesky DNA" impersonation! Love it! kzhead.info/sun/lcyNftGpm32tfqs/bejne.html
The best thing about Bill is the unselfish joy he brings to his work. What a gift
Heard he has a huge pp as well
His laugh is one of the most infectious of all time. I love Bill Hader and I love seeing him happy even more
“I’m so nervous right now...” How adorable is star-struck Hader? “No one tells a story like ‘Dateline’...” “Or do they...?” *That’s so rad...!*
The way Bill reacts to Keith is how I would react to Bill.
SpaceRanger413 absolutely!
same!!
samee lmao
I wouldn't be able to speak if I ever met bill! Remember those Michael Jackson concerts from the 80s where kids would pass out......thats me!!!
For me: vice versa
This is just awesome. You can see the admiration for Keith is genuine. We need a skit with BOTH of them in it!!!
Hader just geeking out all over Keith is the best!
Bill Hader's 40, but acts like he's a teenager.
40 isnt that old man
40. Not dead yet.
Anybody would when meeting their idols
40 is young, but many ordinary people get a bit grumpy and boring at this age.
👾✨🕺🏽it’s awesome yeeayea is great💃🥳
It's so endearing and relatable that Bill can't quite look at Keith. Bill keeps talking to him, but he just looks kind of downward and not at anything in particular, but definitely cannot look at Keith. I love this. The cutest thing ever.
he is all of us if we ever breathe the same air as Bill
"It's hard to look right at you baby, but here's my number so call me, maybe"
I dont know...i think you might just be the cutest thing ever.... Okay.. Ill leave.
@@dnisaguirre true
Maybe he can take over in the future like 25 years from now?
Keith Morrison is a legendary Canadian broadcast journalist. Hader is the best.
Bill can't even LOOK at Keith he's fangirling so hard. So adorable
I love watching celebrities get star struck. 💜🤗
Sha Liz I know right? It’s great!
Yeah Bill seems like one of the few celebrities who still maintain a semblance of normality. He seems like a genuinely good dude and super real.
@@DeathMetalViking Yeah, Bill is a Super Star that doesn't know he's a Super Star. Seems like a genuinely Great person!
Look up Adam Scott getting surprised by mark hamill if you haven't seen it yet
@@jay2thaudy yeah I saw that as well. Another fine example of a celebrity who is still humble enough to not get wrapped in his own BS.
Just love how his innergeek comes out when he meets his idol :-) awesome
I've been waiting for the full segment. It did not disappoint. 😍😍😍
AMBUSH FANBOY at 30 ROCK.priceless~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel you but his geek isn’t so “inner” 😂😂😂it’s why I love him.
@@loes3000 Billy giving Chevy Chase a run for the oney better than AMY and Tina on WUPDATE
ger traba huh ? Lol💀
My late sister and I used to do impressions of Keith Morrison just a few years before the comic genius, Bill Hader did it. We were so THRILLED when Bill did this impression! It was like, "FINALLY!!!! SOMEONE BESIDES US UNDERSTANDS!!!!"
That caramelly smooth voice of Keith Morrison is so satisfying to the ears (heard in his voice). 👏👏👏👏
"I was gonna see if you wanted to take a picture with me" 😭😭💖💕💞💓
That was so adorable, he's like a 5 year old who just met Santa
That sentence was the litteral embodiment of “👉🏻👈🏻”
nah
Keith SHOULD be on BARRY as himself investigating a murder tied to Barry or Noho Hank 😃😃😃😃😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I fully support this idea 😂
@@astucieusefille4150 let's make it happen
Amazing idea...😂🤣
Ahoyhoy! We shall Rally the Internet to our cause! Dateline & Barry series 3 Crossover!! 😃👍💥 #Barry #billhader #alecberg #keithmorrison #bringkeithmorrisontobarry @teamcoco #helpmakethishappen
Genius idea.
“That’s the most fun of all” Straight up SNL line right there by the man himself
I realized I was smiling through this entire video. Bill Hader was genuinely nervous and excited to meet Keith Morrison - it was contagious!
Most people would call the police... ...but you didn’t do that did ya?
I came here for this comment, although the backstory about killing your own wife is crucial here
Man, you're the man! - Bill Hader 2019
Just a reminder: Gregg is NOT an alien.
"You're the Man, Rick. Haha" 🤨
OMG - seeing Bill so star struck is absolutely precious.
Nothing like a great Canadian newsman and his voice to bring gravitas to a show.
Seeing Bill Hader starstruck is so neat.... It shows that he's a genuinely humble, good guy. I love Bill _and_ Keith so much. Love um
So rad!!
Really speaks to "imitation is the highest form of flattery" lol
"Never meet your idol" - some guy who had the wrong idol.
True Crime Obsessed brought me here and I regret nothing! This was so sweet! He was genuinely stanning over him.
Me too! I’ve always loved Keith Morrison and Bill Hader’s impression but I didn’t know they met until I heard about it on TCO!
That's why I'm here! Now back to the podcast. 🙂
Brilliant how excited Bill is 😂
Hader: "have you ever interviewed somebody you thought was guilty?" KM: "well, yeess. That's the MOST fun of aaalll." BH: 😍😲😍
Bill: Have you had it when you have to interview someone and you know they're guilty? Keith: That's the most fun of all
Iconic line
Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaah
There is nothing better than a watching someone meet a famous person they admire.. and the person is awesome to them.
I honestly come back to this video every so often, just to see what genuine happiness looks like.
I’m back for like my 5th watch. Hope this notification brings you back too. You’re probably overdue 😂
@@LillerThatIsMe 3rd x
Adam Scott meeting Mark Hamill on Jimmy Kimmel has similar energy. Worth a watch
I know I’m on at least my 4th watching 😄
Ive def seen this like 4 times before. And I watch the whole thing every time
Is there anyone more likeable than Bill Hader?
Bill Hader, Keanu Reeves, and Tom Hanks. Dream team...ASSEMBLE.
What about Henry Winkler? He's up there too with them lmao
No, he's the best.
@@padmemercury50 I'm with ya. I was going for a top 3 and he was a close 4th!
Keith Morrison...
The sheer joy that Hader expresses almost brings a tear to my eye. Nothing is more cool than watching someone experience something they love. Glad this happened for him.
Keith Morrison's voice is amazing! He kind of gives you that Vicent Price feel, when he tells the story. It's quite amazing. He is my favorite one out of the bunch!
Only the real ones know how iconic this is for the culture
Truth!!!!!!!!
Bill really doesn't know what to do with his hands. He wasn't joking 😂 Doing that nervous self hugging.
It's a combination of awe/giddyness/respect/appreciation...he was just just a fan...probably called/texted all his friends right after lol
I don't know how many times i have watched this. Makes me smile everytime. This is a dude who rubs elbows with Ben Affleck. Adam sandler, Tom cruise and many more and yet he is awestruck with Keith. This is awesome. He couldn't even talk straight. He was even too nervous to ask about a promo
Nothing makes me happier than seeing Bill Hader happy.
I love Bill Hader so much, completely willing to overlook flagrant overuse of 'rad'.
elvis316 same!!
True 😂😂😂
is it a midwestern thing, perhaps?
He even used it in Barry and i was like 👀
oh god I'm from the midwest and now just realizing we abuse this word
Bill Hader is fan grrrrlllin' hard! That is so cute!
😆
Keith Morrison is BEYOND a legend in our home. We absolutely adore him. There is no one who can tell a story like he does. He is incomparable!! To meet him would be a dream.
His new Podcast Morrison Mysteries is great. Keith reading Sleepy Hollow is fantastic
Watching this made my day! I love Keith Morrison's voice and to see Bill Hader genuinely starstruck was the best!
Oh my god. Bill hader. I love how vulnerable and authentic you are about how you get nervous. Way to be.
yeah it take balls to do the impression and make fun of him to his face.
It's not really making fun, it's an honoring of his idol. Like that old quote "Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery."
Stefan in the flesh. If he didn't have that bottle in his hand both would've cupped his mouth🤣🤣🤣
I just wanted Keith Morrison to say, "This crime scene had everything - bloody footprints, missing limbs, gunshot residue, those little table-looking things that they use to keep cheese from sticking to the top of pizza boxes.".
Dan Cortez
THAYS WHAT THEYRE FOR???!!! OMFGGGGGGGG FKMDJRMDISMEIDMBGFNJDNRRJ
".. and a human pizza nipple" "What's a human pizza nipple?" "It's that thing where a midget paints himself white and stands in the center of a pizza box to stop the cheese from sticking to the top" "STEFON!!!!"
@@MistbornGlados I have never heard it called that before. That is hysterical.
@@jasonc.parker4644 I think I saw it on urban dictionary and that is definitely the most trusted source for vocab 😂
I come back and watch this every so often and it never gets old. Bill’s giggles and “rad” gets me every time.😊
This was a joy to watch. Bill Hader is giddy. This makes me happy.
"For Dateline, I'm Keith Morrison. And when I was four years old, I saw a birthday clown drown in a pool. He just floated."
Lolol classic
That was his audition for It: Chapter 2
that must of been wild.
Or did he?🤔🤨
Harly Shindler it was the DNA, that pesky DNA
Fun fact. Keith Morrison is Matthew Perry's stepfather
OMG that is a fun fact haha
@@sageisrage ikr
I am going to tell AT LEAST one person this fun fact tomorrow
Whoooooooooooooooooa.
Beth Putnam Woah
Okay this is my comfort video and also my safe place.
Love Keith & Bill. Can't believe I'm just seeing this for the first time today...Or am I?
"let's do a promo" *breaks character in promo* Oh, Bill.
IamScythed that was peak Bill 😂
Keith’s voice makes those murder mysteries even spookier 😬
Yes, imagine him reading a creepy bedtime story 😊
Keith Morrison and Bill Kurtis are the best true crime narrators ever
I love Keith, but Peter is the master of voice over acting!
This is one of the happiest moments on earth, ever.
You know it's not scripted when Bill says he knew he'd be around the corner. Love it.
Ever time bill laugh an Angel in heaven is Born. Bill your rad
Someone dies whenever he laughs?
*Bill, you’re rad!
So that's how Gabriel came to be.
How adorable is fanboy Bill? "Soooo, what are you doing after this?"
you don't really get the relationship between a comic and the person they make fun of and imitate, do you? it's one of Bill's favorite imitations, but he's not "fanning out" over him. It's akward because Keith isn't in on the joke, not because Bill is "finally meeting his idol." Bill's imitation makes fun of him - Get it?
@@ohmusicsweetmusic If you listen to interviews with Bill Hader he talks about what a fan he is. It's also super freaking obvious that he's a huge fan from this video.
@@ohmusicsweetmusic How many times are you going to copy and paste the same comment? Just because you keep repeating it doesn't make it true.
@@emilyownsarat They keep copy and pasting the same comment. For some reason, this really bothers them. 😂
@@JayNic85 or they're a bad troll? Hard to tell sometimes.
Everyone should find someone who makes them as happy as Bill was when he finally met Keith Morrison.
Keith really is top notch. I could listen to him talk about murders all day everyday! I’m so with you Bill, I would have been a total fan girl
Just when I thought I couldn't love Bill Hader more.
IKR!!!!
I love Bill Hader's fascination with Keith Morrison.
Dateline is the best show on TV.Forensic files is excellent as well.
Even celebrities get star struck. Loved seeing the joy on Bill’s face. So much fun to watch.
1:42 "i don't know how you get better than kiETH MORRISON!!!!!"
