Stefon!

I am sure if you ask anyone who regularly watches Saturday Night Live, they will have an opinion about the Bill Hader character, "Stefon". Love him or hate him, he is probably the best character who turns up occasionally on Weekend Update with Seth Meyers.

I admit that he has grown on me over time. From day one, it was his eyes that got to me. It didn't matter what he was saying, those eyes were absolutely adorable. How Bill Hader manages that, I have no idea. ;-)

His clothes are also adorable...or maybe I should say adorkable. As a matter of fact, I find myself thinking of Stefon, whenever I wear shirts with outrageously long sleeves. I have caught myself acting like Stefon, as I sit in meetings. Bad girl...seriously!

The absolute best part of the routine is the fact that Bill Hader usually loses it and starts laughing, somewhere along the way.
You may ask why.
Well, my son checked it out on Wikipedia and found out that they change the cue cards just before air. So Bill is literally saying some of those things, live on the air. Of course they usually give him the most outrageous lines toward the end of the skit, where he has the hardest time keeping in character.

Brief though his stints are, they have consistently been the my personal highlight, in a majorly bad season.

Go STEFON!
