Saturday Night Live is losing another show staple as Bill Hader announced on Tuesday that he will depart at the end of the season. 
 
 Hader joined 'SNL' eight years ago, quickly making a name for himself with characters like Stefon, James Carville and the oddball game show host. His exaggerated expressions were priceless, and his dance moves were incomparable.

 Before Hader leaves us with a Bill-shaped hole in our Saturday evenings, let's look back at all the reasons he stole our hearts from the get-go. 
 
 He makes political-types like James Carville look cool

 Saturday Night Live star Bill Hader is in talks to star in Lawless, an indie comedy being produced by Mike White and David Bernad via their RipCord Productions. 
 
 Scott Pictures is financing with Scott Steindorff and Scott LaStaiti producing as well. 
 
 Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel, who wrote the Jim Carrey comedy Yes Man, are making their directorial debut on the comedy. 
 
 Paul and Mogel also wrote the script, which was at one point titled 20-Year Itch. (Lawless is a tentative title.) The story centers on a high school reunion committee chairman in Middle America, still searching for acceptance, who has to do whatever it takes to get the most popular guy from high school to show up to their 20th reunion. Unfortunately, that guy is now an actor in commercials, so the committee chairman flies to L.A. and finds himself in the arcane world of celebrities. 
 
 A summer shoot in Atlanta is being eyed. 
 
 RipCord, repped by UTA and law firm Roberg Offer, is behind Magic Magic, which stars Juno Temple, Michael Cera and Emily Browning and will premiere at Cannes. 
 
 Hader, when not working on SNL, does make the occasional film appearance. He had a supporting role in the Simon Pegg-Jason Bateman comedy Paul and a cameo in Men in Black 3, for example. Itch, however, will be a rare opportunity for him to topline a project. Hader can next be heard as a voice in DWA's Turbo. 
 
 He is repped by UTA, Odenkirk Provissiero Entertainment and Felker Toczek.

– Saturday Night Live is losing one of its marquee names when its season wraps up this week. Bill Hader tells the New York Times that he's leaving after eight years. It was a "hard decision," says the 34-year-old, but "it got to a point where I said, ‘Maybe it’s just time to go.'" (Mashable rounds up some gifs of Hader as Stefon, James Carville, etc.) Hader is expected to shift more into movies, and the Hollywood Reporter notes that he's in talks to star in an indie flick called Lawless. Now the big question: Will other big SNL names such as Fred Armisen and Jason Sudeikis be leaving with him? Seth Meyers is also headed for the exit door.
