Imagining farmer Karl Hader's encounter with his great+grandson's success through characters like Stefon and Vinny Vedecci is a bit like that SNL skit where Justin Timberlake plays his own ancestor explaining to other immigrants how his descendant will "bring sexy back."
It's incredibly moving to watch Bill being so exposed and openly sensitive because he's very introverted and doesn't show that much emotion. The one thing that strikes me the most is that one of the soldiers in his family was named Jack, and for the entire first season of Barry, Bill wore a metal bracelet in memory of JACK. We haven't learned about who Jack was yet but he was clearly his friend from the army and was very important for him, and the fact that he wrote an entire series about a soldier without knowing anything about his roots is incredible enough, but the fact that he choose the name Jack out of all the English names out there to follow his every step during the first season (and Barry taking the bracelet off in season 2 means something as well) not knowing that Jack was truly a part of him is just pure magic. It kind of makes you a believer again, don't you think?
I remember when this aired. Thank you so much for posting this. The history Dr. Gates uncovers is such a gift. It's something Bill can share with his children.
on the paper documenting carl hader coming over from germany, it kind of looks like it said "harder" instead of "hader"😳 i can totally imagine a german called harder (which in german just really sounds like a normal last name to have) coming over to america and when appliying to citizenship in america, subtly changing the name to "hader" so its not just a normal english word anymore....maybe? just a fun thought :D
I remember Cindy Crawford being related to Charlamagne - King Edward the 1st. I wonder if they tested had permission to compare Bill’s DNA with Cindy? 🤔
Back at that point in history most of us with white ancestors are related, the only question is whether we can trace our genealogy far enough back to confirm it from a paper trail. Basically, if you can trace your family back to reach a certain time period, the well known records take you the rest of the way. The basic formula that shows how many ancestors you have n generations ago will knock your socks off with the sheer number (which helps to explain how so many people are related to Charlemagne)
@@bartwilson2513 Interesting. I haven’t been able to trace back my English, Irish or Scottish ancestors at all. I just knew from my family my great grandfather was Spanish and English because of our name and that he served in the US navy. I’m predominantly Filipina and a lot of thee records were either poorly kept or destroyed during Japanese occupation. My ancestry DNA test shows my UK heritage and I’ve found his naval records , ship manifests and US census and death record but nothing at all to indicate his parents names for me to trace back. Is there someone or a reputable agency I can pay to try to locate more info? I live in Australia and bought access to UK & US & world records and just couldn’t find anything before my great grandfather. How did you trace back your ancestry records? I am genuinely curious. By the way that Cindy Crawford show with connection to King Edward I was in TLC not PBS. Thanks
@@CruzR1111 I am not a biologist and would be sincerely curious to know how much information can be carried by mitochondrial DNA. My husband is white and has asian-looking eyes, but nobody in his family recalls any relation to Asian people. We are left with the idea that Mongolian invasions may have reached some of his ancestors , but I honestly wonder how far can DNA reconstruction go
The Charlemagne thing isn't that shocking. If you can get records that go back far enough for your family chances are you can link to Charlemagne and/or Genghis Khan
An Uncle was there,. He told me about it. That young man must have just wanted to get the war over with and go back to Wisconsin. It was cold and muddy. There was a terrible virus just like now.
the only is a little unnecessary, but I'm glad that they said it like that. Too many stories of folks getting ahead "with nothing," but actually had a financial support system
The host gives of a really bad vibe. "A dead cat?! Hilarious!" *Bill looks upset, host keeps chuckling* "By the way, Bill-- your ancestor was willing to kill for the state. You should be proud!"

"I couldn't even get the coffeemaker to work this morning"...Bill Hader
“I’m descended from all these tough guys, that’s hilarious.”

I have watched Barry like a 1000 times but I never noticed this.
I absolutely love Bill Hader, he always brings such joy whenever I hear him, his laugh is infectious!!🤗🤗
I just adore Bill. He's the kind of guy that I would marry in a minute. He's a beautiful spirit.
These stories always knock my socks off..........so hard to imagine.

I've been binging Bill Hader videos for a week now and I'm just loving him more and more. Awesome video!
8:39 Looks so much like Bill
Interesting that Bill knew nothing of all these soldiers and yet he wrote Barry...about a tough marine.
Bless you for uploading this 💖
I am so in love w him help
We have a famous comedian in Austria called Hader. I bet they are related.
He's such an adorable person.

To be an ancestor of Charlemagne is such a big thing i was shocked
Now this is what I enjoy

So.... Can he say the word?
Nein
I'm surprised the Turks haven't claimed Hader yet.
Atleast the turks have a country
What?
‘Supported only by his parents’...ok...
Who else?
the only is a little unnecessary, but I'm glad that they said it like that. Too many stories of folks getting ahead "with nothing," but actually had a financial support system
it does makes sense tho unless he’s a nepotism kid with showbiz connections
Not just England, British empire you should know better...

Nah he's the only one who finds his dead cat hilarious
