Short version:

This is an unofficial, fan-created amateur fansite.  I'm NOT Bill, I don’t know Bill, and I don’t know any code or web design.  I’m just a fan who wants to celebrate Bill's awesomeness.

The longer story:

This fansite was launched in September 2014, but the inspiration for it was sparked almost ten years earlier.

A second-generation Saturday Night Live fan, born during the 12th season (1986-87), I grew up on a mix of current episodes and old reruns –– having a most sentimental feeling for the era of my childhood, the Phil Hartman years.  SNL has always been a part of my life.

New SNL cast members come and go with the seasons, but in 2005, new featured player Bill Hader caught my attention immediately.  With his chillingly spot-on impersonations and unique characters, he could have me rolling on the floor laughing and crying almost every time he was on screen.  It quickly became clear to me that he was one of the best cast members in SNL history.

In the early years of Bill's time on SNL, I was a frequent visitor to a fan-created fansite, twisted-laughter –- later haderwithad and still later, billhader.org.  If that website was still active, there would be no need for this one.  It was a beautifully designed site created by a webmistress 100 times more talented and skilled than I.  

That website boasted a Q&A section called the Bill Chat, wherein users could post a question or comment and be answered by Mr. Hader himself.  As an 18-year-old girl in Nebraska with no means to travel, it was absolutely incredible to have the opportunity to communicate with Bill in this way.  Thank you so much, Kelly.  

With that website no longer in operation as its creator pursues her career, I have stepped in to fill the void.  Now 27, I still live in Nebraska, where I work as a librarian to pay the bills while I try to put myself through college and attempt not to spend too much money on my website, my Stefon merchandise, and DVDs of Bill Hader's movies.
