One of the funnier bits they did on Saturday Night Live over the last ten years was Bill Hader's version of Dateline NBC's Keith Morrison. This impersonation is very good, a bit over the top but every time I've watched Dateline, there's at least one segment where Morrison sounds just like Hader's impersonation of him.
To do a good impersonation of someone, you generally have to be a fan. Hader apparently loves Keith Morrison, and for that matter, Dateline NBC.
With that set up, the Friday Link this week is first Bill Hader doing an impersonation of Morrison on Saturday Night from a few years back (2011). Warning, it gets a little adult:
Then a real treat. The Sunday Today show convinced Hader to go visit the Dateline NBC studio and meet Morrison. You can't fake the geekiness Hader puts forward. He clearly is excited to meet the host. For his part, Morrison seems to understand how the bread gets buttered and points out how Hader's impression of him actually extended his career. The end of this clip is just so perfect!
Have a great weekend everyone!
