While recently Googling my favorite SNL cast member, Bill Hader—starring in the upcoming Adventureland, wearing a mustache from Pleasuretown—I came across a guest appearance he did on an MTV comedy sketch show, misleadingly titled Human Giant—at first glance, seemingly from the Sci Fi channel's Friday night lineup. Or from the headlines of the Weekly World News, next to Bat Boy.
Human Giant, now discontinued, aired for two seasons on MTV, premiering in April, 2007 as part of the network's Thursday night "10 Spot" lineup (which, for some reason I'm too old-slash-uncool to understand, began at 9 PM EST).
It was during 2008's second season that Bill Hader showed up—along with fellow SNL cast members Andy Samberg and Fred Armisen—portraying Lil Kevin, a former child actor who, after failing to be cute enough during a cereal commercial shoot as a kid in the 80s, was disfigured due to a shot in the face of Adoraplex 5000—"an experimental drug to make the cutest kid that ever lived." But, instead, made the ugliest real-life, man-sized Howdy Doody.
Hader's first appearance as Lil Kevin from Season 2, Episode 4, in the sketch "Shutterbugs: Kiditentiary (Episode 2)"
