Bill Hader Reveals How He Got Fired From Movie Theater Job For Getting Back At Girls Who Mocked Him

The SNL alum hilariously opened up to John Mulaney about how he got fired from a movie theater job after he ruined the ending of Titanic to get back at a bunch of sorority girls who mocked his looks.

Getting fired for doing something stupid at a job is almost a rite of passage.

At least Bill Hader's bought him some petty revenge. In a segment of Netflix's Everybody's Live with John Mulaney, Hader recounted the tale of how he once lost his job as ticket-taker at a movie theater in Arizona.


It was 1997 and Titanic was in theaters. A local sorority had booked out an entire showing, and Hader had the misfortune of working the front of house that evening.

While waiting, the girls mocked him as he asked them to move over so he could get in place to take their tickets. Hader admitted that he was pretty mockable at that moment, but still, it was rude.

He explained:

“They were making fun of me. They said I looked like Charles Manson. Which I kinda did. I had a little bowtie on and cummerbund, and I was like, ‘Hey guys, please move.’ And they were like, ‘No.’"

Hader had his short-lived revenge, spoiling the movie for them right before they entered the theater.

"So when they went in, as I tore the tickets, I was like, ‘Enjoy the movie. The boat sinks at the end. Leo dies.’ And they were like, ‘No, he doesn’t.’ I go, ‘Yeah, you think he’s asleep. But he’s frozen.’ And that showed them.”

Hader was almost immediately fired by his manager, who was, according to Hader's impression, pretty stoned at the time.

People pointed out that since the movie Titanic was based on the true—and very famous—historical event, this wasn't much of a spoiler.

Okay, the boat sinking was literally old news, but the part about Leo dying was a spoiler.

Others were thankful for Hader's commitment to humor.



Who wouldn't have?


Many people really vibed with Hader's pettiness.

And, as always, Titanic truthers spoke up.

Titanic is available for streaming on Disney+.

Jesse Watters Blasted For Hypocrisy After Using Term He Was Previously Outraged By

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was called out for hypocrisy after he described the oustings of ABC News correspondent Terry Moran and Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair David Hogg as them having been "86'd"—just weeks after complaining about the term "86 47," which he sees as a clear call to assassinate President Donald Trump.

The term "86" means to eject, discard, or disprove of, and though it's said to have military origins, it's commonly used in restaurants when getting rid of unruly customers or when a patron has specific dietary restrictions. For example, saying "86 the mushrooms on the burger" means to prepare a burger sans mushrooms. Similarly, saying "86 the burger with mushrooms" means to not make the burger at all.
