This is from a December 1, 2009 Wall Street Journal blog piece on Bill Hader.

I can vouch that Swift, who I can’t say enough good things about, does a really good Kristin Stewart impression,” Hader said) and another sketch he’s enjoying this season, Keenan Thompson’s “What Up With That?” musical interludes. In the skits, Thompson plays D’Andre Cole, a talk show host who “takes on the issues of today with soul” while Hader plays perpetually bumped guest Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac fame. The series has also scored a number of special guest stars, including Al Gore, whom they nabbed while he was shooting a “30 Rock” guest spot, and “friend of the show” James Franco. “With James, he was originally in another sketch that got cut, so we just decided to stick him in ‘What Up With That,’ which started the whole visiting guest star thing,” he said. “Mindy Kaling we just grabbed on the way to the stage. She was just hanging out watching the show, and then she was sitting next to me asking me what to do.” Watch two “What Up With That” sketches after the jump:
