SNL… Need We Say More?

Bill Hader's popular Saturday Night Live character, Stefon, is known for his quirky and amusing tips on different clubs and attractions in New York City. However, it's not just his jokes that make him an unforgettable character, but also his signature move of putting his hands over his face, which seems to add to his already eccentric personality.

As it turns out, this gesture wasn't originally a part of the character's routine. Instead, it was something Hader started doing to prevent himself from laughing while delivering Stefon's lines. Each time he looked at the cue cards on the camera, he would see a new joke and would start laughing uncontrollably. So, he began putting his hands over his mouth as a way to hide his laughter, and it became a part of the character's mannerisms that fans came to love.
