One of my favorite stories about characters breaking on SNL was told by writer John Mulaney, who came up with the character Stephan with Bill Hader. He often changed the cue cards between dress rehearsal and going live, so Bill was usually reading the punchlines for the first time live on the air. After a while it became a game to see how badly they could get him to break.

  Thanks, Matty J! It was so funny to watch him lose it when he came back this season.
