Bill Hader was a no-show for Saturday Night Live's 50th Anniversary special back in February, with his publicist initially stating his absence was simply due to a scheduling conflict. But there was much more behind the 47-year-old actor's reasoning for missing the event.

Bill Hader has a valid reason for missing SNL50. Despite appearing on Saturday Night Live between 2005 and 2013, when the long-running NBC sketch comedy series celebrated its 50th anniversary in February, the 47-year-old actor was one of several cast members who weren’t in attendance.
