Part 4/6:
Another significant name absent from the celebration was Bill Hader, a fan-favorite who captivated audiences during his tenure from 2005 to 2013. Hader is best remembered for his eccentric character, Stefon, who provided comic commentary as a city correspondent on "Weekend Update." Despite not attending the live special, Hader did participate in a digital sketch that aired prior to the anniversary.
In this skit, he collaborated with fellow former cast members Kristen Wiig and Fred Armisen, reviving their soap opera-inspired alter egos from their earlier work. This engagement allowed Hader to maintain a connection to the anniversary celebrations, even if he was not present in person.
