The Californians: Stuart Has Cancer - SNL 

"Devin? Uwaaderyuudoinere?" No wonder Hader cracked up.

Watching Bill trying to keep it together gives me life

Rare footage of Bill Hader kissing someone that’s not a dude on SNL

I need a t-shirt that says “Devon?.......OOOOOWAADDERYUUDOINGHEER”

As a Californian I can confirm the dialogue is 100% realistic because all we ever talk about is driving lol

I love how Hader can never stop smiling or laughing and breaking character. With other people that can be annoying but it totally works for him.

Watching Bill Hader try not to laugh is the best part of this sketch haha

"At this time of day, it's gonna be jammed" made me laugh so hard because she's right.

This is my favourite episode. Bill Hader has said that Fred caught him off guard with the wudareyuudoinghere as it was different than in rehearsal. They barely hold it together. 😂 Brolin does an awesome job in this too

I just LOVE Bill Hader but it’s Fred Armisen that makes this skit so hilarious. When he tells someone to get back on the 405 and NEVER GET OFF ugh...die laughing

Man, the dress rehearsal is even *_better_* because of how much Bill Hader was losing his shit in that first scene, hahahaha

I love how at 3:31 when she says “you can do this” she’s not talking about him beating cancer, but she’s talking about the route to Marina del Ray.

I want to go to California just so I can get back on San Vicente take it to the 10 then switch over to the 405N and let it dump me out into Mulholland where I belong

I love how the character gets told he has cancer and the only thing he's worried about is the location of the hospital

All of them trying to say his name like XD "Chreh?!" "Truagh?!" "Tryyyy!" "...Treh." "Trrrey?" "Mister Trey?!"

"Stuwart, at this time of dah its gonna be jammed are you crazay?" "Stuwart look at muh you can do thus!"

The main reason I love these so much is that no-one can keep character :')

I love it when they break character and laugh. And I don't remember almost any skit with Bill where he doesn't giggle.

Each time it cuts back to Bill Hader, his face just gets redder and redder. 😂😂😂

2:38 Brolin's accent goes from Californian to Irish to Minnesotan in about 15 seconds

It's funny because in California we actually tell directions like that 😂

The stereotype where they talk about the highways and roads are hilarious and also extremely true... as a person who has lived in Northern California their whole life I can confirm it.

I love how Fred says "oowwwwhat are you doin here?" Bill, Kristen and Fred are my favourite SNLs actors ♥

My brother started working in LA a couple months ago and he kept laughing because everyday felt like an episode of The Californians when people started discussing which route they took to their work site that day. He said people would look at him funny when he was chuckling to himself, but then he started playing the sketches for people at lunch, and now they’re doing the exaggerated accents when they tell each other how they got to work and he says it’s a much more entertaining place to work! 😂🙌

Kristen Wiig absolutely kills that accent, what a queen

I can confirm every Californian talks about getting places using roads this exact way

Funny thing is Kristen looks super hot with blonde hair.

Bill Hader is trying so hard not to laugh. xD

The way they all squeeze into the mirror!

As a third generation Californian woman one of the first pieces of advice my grandmother gave me about making conversation with boys was to ask what route they took between their house and the party. It worked every time - I always had an ice breaker for any conversation.

As a Californian (LA born and raised) I can say full-heartedly that this is 100% accurate.

"it'll be jahmmed!" is a favorite in our household.

WhatrYOUdoinghere?!

Hearing her say “Stuart” gets me every single time 😂

“On the other side of the 10? Thats almost long beach man!” Im DED

I'm a Californian. I've been on all those roads and freeways and they nail it... lol stay off the 405!

As someone from CA, I can confirm, we're all like this. This is completely and undeniably accurate.

Come live here for a few years, and rewatch this. You’ll have actual tears in your eyes from laughing so hard. This is rich with deep truth and sheer comedy.

God I loved this scene when first saw it live, but it's even better knowing the backstory. This was a running bit between Bill and Fred, they'd talk about their vacation week trips to LA and do stupid voices and talk about streets. Eventually several actors and writers were in on it and it became this soap opera skit. Anyway, the whole week Fred does the "what are you doing here?" line in a regular voice, but during the show he does the now legendary "wha-whaaaaateerrr you doing here??" which caused both Bill and Kirsten to break instantly. 😂😂 That's exactly the type of thing I would do to mess with cast members.

This was so sad - he's got cancer and there's no parking. 😩

Dude, Kenan Thompson's accent is frickin perfect, bro.

THAT'S Josh Brolin?! THAT'S Thanos and Cable?! Josh Brolin is always a win.

Never gets old. I pray they bring this skit back.

I've noticed that the guest hosts who aren't used to doing the Californians accent tend to sound Scandinavian at times. That just makes it funnier! XD

"ooouuwwwwuutrryoudooinghere?"

At this time of day- it’s gonna be JAHHMED! Are you crazahhhh??

I'm sorry but I just love how dramatic Vanessa Bayer is as the housekeeper! The way she glides backwards and then ballerina runs at 1:57 is wonderful!

I love that honestly us Californians are the ones most into this skit. Can confirm we still quote it amongst ourselves.

Even after watching this a billion times, it still cracks me up. Best snl skit in a long time.

Ssstuwert, way yu hum suh arleh?

I like how Bill Hader progressively gets tense trying not to laugh. The music fits well too. 😂

Oh man, the auto-generated captions just do NOT know what to do with their accents. 🤣

"At this time of day? It's gonna be JAHHMED, are you Kray-zeh?!?" haha

Keenan was doing his best Kel impression! Hilarious!

Omg Bill Hader was literally crying 😭 😂

SNL Has always had its peaks and valleys with their cast but this is definitely a peak!lmao!🤣🤣😆

As a former Californian, the non-stop descriptions of the freeways and directions is accurate 🤣

Every time I have a bad day, I just watch one of the old The Californians skits. Cheers me up every time.

The black dude with the blonde surfer hair and soul patch. I fucking lost it lol

bill hader's cracking up!!! always makes my day

Kristen Wiig is totally barely holding it together lol

Kenan is 100% just doing a Kel impression

Kristen Wiig is such a good looking woman.

SNL nailed the part where SoCal folks always describe roads with intricate detail in their greeting with one another. "...and I took Wilshire to Vermont to get here..."

I DONT CARE WHAT OTHERS SAY the Californians skits were my favorite

Bill always loses at "I think you should go home now Devin?"

Josh Brolin is just mesmerizing. His acting choices are almost incomprehensible, but genius

One of the funniest skits on SNL!..Never tire of it. Such a great cast!

The way Kristen says _Stuart_ at 2:57 cracks me up every time

I'm an L.A. native and when I moved to the east coast for a few years I thought it was weird that people didn't use 'the' when they would reference freeways and highways. Didn't realize that's just a Cali thing. HAHA.

I'm a Californian and this is so accurate that I'm in tears from laughter.

Somehow these get funnier each time I watch them.

I lived in San Diego in 2019 and had my first apartment in Poway. I could definitely say this is accurate.

"Just get on the 10 and get out of here!" I will use this for the rest of my life...

Fred really carries this. Love Kristen's accents too. Most addictive soap ever.

you can really see how it physically hurts Hader trying NOT to burst out laughing... his teary eyes are something of the funniest i've ever seen :-))))

Fred Armisen is so awesome in this skit.

everyone's too preoccupied with "uhhhhhhhwadarrrrYUUUUUUUUUdoinEEEEEEERE" and not preoccupied enough with "this Caaaaliiifrrrnnnnya weeein" 3:55

I watch this whenever I am having a bad day, because it is just hilarious watching everyone laugh

eeewwwhhh whurt errr yeeww dweeeying irr?

That laughter afer the "I said go home" 1:05 sooo funny

As a Californian, I find this............insanity accurate.

One of the better skits from that era.

I thought this was Jeff Bridges for like a good minute until I realized it was Josh Brolin.

Anybody else notice Kenan's Californian voice sounds like Kel doing Ed from Good Burger, just a little more educated

I would watch the hell out of this show......if only :(

Those transitions from the hypnotic music and the mirror, to the wine pour, to the title over the ocean with the rich homes is the best.

There’s nothing funnier than Bill Haider breaking character

Bill was trying so hard to stay in character!! 😂😂😂👌

Kristen Wiig looks so good here

i have srsly watched this 9394039430949394 times. cant stop laughing. im getting myself a 6pac from watching this!!!

The repeating suspense theme with the close up shot of faces always gets me. lmao

Fred Armisen totally commits to this. He made Hader lose it. Wiig mostly keeps going but even she was out

2:43 there actually is a coffee bean right there and I used to go there all the time on the way to school hahahaha

The way Kristen says "Marina del Raahhh" kills me!!

Bill Hader trying not to break out into total laughter is priceless! Comedy sketch awesomeness!

As a Southern Californian, all of our dads constantly complain about the 405

Funniest skit in a long time. It’s so true how people in LA are always giving directions. 😆

Holy shit this one of the all time classics, yet to be fully discovered lol, its way up there even with more cowbell!!! If for nothing else than Bill not being able to hold it together haha

the dress version is even more hilarious!
