7. Bill Hader

The awesome comedian Bill Hader made a lot of fans during his time on Saturday Night Live from 2005 to 2013. His work on the show gained him three Emmy nominations, as Hader quickly became one of the all-time greatest performers on the sketch comedy series. He has continued his comedy on television by helping creatively with South Park and hosting a new program called Documentary Now!

You can also see Hader throughout his dozens of roles in feature films. Hader has primarily worked on comedy movies like Trainwreck, 22 Jump Street, and Pineapple Express, among countless others. He has also done voice work for animated features like Inside Out, Sausage Party, and Finding Dory. Needless to say, he enjoys staying busy and has no problem landing in big name releases. And it still almost seems like he’s just getting started.

So talented as both a performer and comedy writer, it would be seamless for Hader to become the new Jimmy Fallon. He would be able to work in some very entertaining comedy bits into the program, and we already know that the NBC audiences love him. If he were to replace Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, that would be totally fine with me.
