Laugh Track....The King And I

Actor Bill Hader appeared on NBC’s “The Tonight Show” last night to promote his upcoming film, “Trainwreck,” which also stars Cavaliers F LeBron James. Host Jimmy Fallon said to Hader, “You act great against LeBron James. It’s almost like you guys have been buddies for like 25 years. Did you even think you had chemistry with LeBron James?” Hader replied laughing, “No.” Hader said in one scene he plays one-on-one against James and “it was awful and Judd Apatow would be like, ‘Just go up for a layup,’ and then I would get denied, just swatting everything.” Hader: “Then on one take I scored a layup on him and I ruined the take because I scored and I started celebrating." 

Fallon said, “I'm proud to announce that for the second year in a row, I took home the ESPY Award for ‘Most Crying While on the Treadmill,’ second year in a row. That's right, hundreds of athletes traveled to Los Angeles last night to attend this year's ESPY Awards and to say hi to their old flame Kim Kardashian” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 7/16).
