While Bill Hader was a cast member on "Saturday Night Live," he and his now ex-wife, Maggie Carey, lived a bicoastal lifestyle. However, the constant traveling wreaked havoc on his home life, as he had two young children at the time.
"My wife, Maggie, and I were constantly going to California for work," he said in a 2015 interview for Playboy. "If she had to go to LA and I had an 'SNL' week, we needed two babysitters to help with the kids. We realized we needed to move to LA. This was in February, and I immediately told Lorne Michaels I was going to leave. When I said the words 'I'm moving to LA and I'm going to leave the show,' the room started spinning. I thought I was going to faint. I didn't cry – other people have told me they cried – but I got light headed."
During a 2015 interview for LeBron James' HBO show "The Shop: Uninterrupted," Hader recalled Michaels' response to his announcement. "I remember I told Lorne, uh, Michaels ... 'I'm gonna leave the show.' And he never agrees with it, and he goes, 'Wear it for a while. See if it fits you.' And I'm like, 'It f**king fits! I'm wearin' it right now! It fits, I want to go."
