SNLĀ is basically an American Institution at this point. Think of a famous comic actor of the past years and it's hugely likely they will have got their start on the late-night variety show. Since it's premiere in 1975, it's given us way too many iconic moments to count.
But one character who's stood out above the rest has to be Bill Hader's incredible Stefon. The New York City expert gave us some of the most incredibly creative descriptions of counter-cultural nightlife ever. But the best part? How often Hader broke character and started laughing at the absurdity of what he was saying.
Since 2013, Stefon has unfortunately left the show along with Hader. But nowĀ SNLĀ has released a 5-video series of every single Stefon appearance. Prepare to lose over an hour of your life.
SNL is one of the most popular shows on TV.

There was none more iconic than Stefon. The self-proclaimed "New York City correspondent" was an absolute joy to watch since his first appearance in 2008.His trademark?
The amazingly out-there descriptions of NYC nightlife. "Visions a dying gay man would have if he was under too many blankets," anyone?But there was one thing fans loved even more.
Bill Hader often couldn't quite hold it together during his Stefon monologues and ended up bursting out laughing midway through a sketch.But in 2013, sad news struck.
Hader was leavingĀ SNL -Ā and with him, Stefon.And all we were left with?
