Bill Hader Tells Jimmy Kimmel Why Their Group Chat With John Mulaney and Fred Armisen Makes Him ‘Paranoid’
"I get really anxious," the "Cat in the Hat" star says of waiting for his friends' reactions to his texts The post Bill Hader Tells Jimmy Kimmel Why Their Group Chat With John Mulaney and Fred Armisen Makes Him ‘Paranoid’ appeared first on TheWrap .
On Monday night, Bill Hader revealed to Jimmy Kimmel that he feels "paranoid" and "neurotic" when participating in a group text chain with John Mulaney and Fred Armisen. "We’ve been on this text chain for about three years, maybe longer. We text every day," Hader told the audience of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" The chain has become so long-lasting that it has "become a problem" in both Kimmel's and Hader's homes.
Hader's kids often ask if he's on the "old man chain" and quip about the proper use of periods. When Hader sends a text, he often goes overboard in his attempt to gauge a positive reaction from his friends. He will send a video to the group and wonder if Kimmel finds it funny. If he only receives a single "Ha-Ha," he feels "genuinely brutal."
Kimmel agreed with Hader's anxiety saying that he feels the same way about the "ha-has." The duo concluded that Fred Armisen is the "most giving" when it comes to positive reactions to their friends' texts. Armisen is the one who "Ha-Ha'd" Hader's text when he said he had the flu. Meanwhile, Mulaney is a tougher one to impress, as a "Ha-Ha" from him feels like a "statement."
Kimmel then revealed that Hader and he have a separate text chain where they discuss sports, as neither Armisen nor Mulaney know anything about the subject. This led to Hader admitting that he used to play tight end when he was growing up in Oklahoma.
