Sebastian Maniscalco is launching We Got Company, a new monthly SiriusXM series.
Today on SiriusXM’s “Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend,” Conan O’Brien sits down with Bill Hader, who opens up about his experience with the LA wildfires.
During his return to the show (again), Bill recounts filming the VW Californians commercial when the fires broke out and having to go with a news crew to access his home.
“So the fires are on Tuesday,” Bill recalls. “I wasn’t there because I was shooting the VW commercial as the Californians… in Malibu. Kristen [Wiig], that morning, said there’s a really bad windstorm coming, I’m really concerned about fires. First thing she said to me. And then we’re shooting and I look up, I see smoke and the guys go, oh, don’t worry, that’s in the Palisades. I go, I live in the Palisades, and it was just dead silence. Then I was like, I got to go.”
“So that was the only way I could get up there was if I went up with the news crew,” he adds. “And so I went up, went into my house and I was like, oh wow, it’s not too bad. And then I just stepped and it was like dust, you know, toxic stuff everywhere. And then the back when it’s, yeah, it was no good. And I was just in total shock.”
The “Barry” star and creator also shared how his girlfriend Ali Wong took him to buy new clothes after the fires:
“Ali and I went today to just literally I had to shop for clothes. It was very sweet. It meant a lot to me. It’s because I’m just wearing Uniqlo sweats, you know, and my kids are like, you’re living in your pyjamas, I feel like they’re very worried. And I told her about that and she was like, let me take you to get some clothes. So that was, so those are the moments.”
