😂 “I Couldn’t See Anything!”: Bill Hader Opens Up About Getting High with the Trainwreck Cast and His Wildest SNL Meltdown Ever 👀🔥

During a recent podcast appearance on SmartLess, Bill Hader — known for his brilliant impressions, sharp writing, and ability to collapse into laughter mid-sketch — shared a story that even diehard fans hadn’t heard before.

It started innocently enough.

Bill Hader says he lost his vision right before an “SNL ”sketch on one of  its biggest episodes: 'Freaking out'

“We were filming Trainwreck,” he said with a laugh.

“And Amy [Schumer] and some of the cast had some edibles.

I was like, ‘Sure, I’ll have a little bit.

Famous last words.

Hader quickly admitted he hadn’t touched anything THC-related in years.

But that night, surrounded by comedians and a laid-back vibe, he joined the party.

What followed was a classic Hollywood spiral:

“I don’t know what was in that thing.

I swear to God, I went home, and I was in a vortex.

I was sitting in my living room staring at the rug like it was trying to tell me something.

But things took a bizarre twist days later — during a live taping of Saturday Night Live.

It was a Weekend Update segment.

Hader was doing Stefon, the legendary NYC club kid who delivers wild monologues about nightclubs featuring everything from “human Roombas” to “Jewish Dracula.

But this time? Something went very wrong.

“I got behind the desk and suddenly… I couldn’t see.

Wait — what?!

“I don’t mean metaphorically.

I mean I actually lost my vision.

Everything went white.

I was looking at Seth Meyers and I couldn’t see his face.

The audience, of course, had no idea.

In fact, Hader nailed the sketch — laughing, improvising, delivering classic Stefon gold.

But inside?

“I was freaking the hell out.

I was like, ‘This is it.

This is how I die.

On live television, dressed like an emaciated goth with frosted tips.

He managed to finish the sketch, collapsing into laughter — a signature Stefon move — and was helped backstage.

Doctors later confirmed what might’ve triggered the episode: a migraine with aura, possibly exacerbated by stress, bright lights… and yes, the afterglow of those now-legendary edibles.

“I’m not blaming Amy or anything,” Hader laughed.

“But let’s just say… that weekend was a blur.

He added:

“I’ve been on live TV.

I’ve done drama.

I’ve directed.

But there’s nothing — nothing — more terrifying than pretending to be a club-loving chaos goblin while literally blind.

This story — part comedy, part cautionary tale — has sent fans into a frenzy online.

They’re all trending, with fans reposting old Weekend Update clips in a whole new light.

💬 “He was blind during THAT sketch?! Stefon really is the GOAT.


💬 “Bill Hader being too high and losing vision during SNL is the most Bill Hader thing ever.


💬 “This is why you don’t mix sketch comedy and edibles, kids.

Others praised Hader’s honesty — and his legendary ability to never break character, even in absolute panic.

(Well, almost never.)

It’s the latest in a string of Hader revelations that have only deepened the cult around his comedic genius.

Whether he’s talking about awkward celebrity encounters, breaking during SNL sketches, or directing some of the darkest television on HBO, Bill Hader remains one of the few actors who can make a health scare sound hilarious — and make his own embarrassment feel like a communal experience.

But one thing is certain:

“That was the last time I did edibles,” Hader admitted.

“I’ll stick to coffee.

And maybe crying silently in my trailer.
