Bill Hader promotes his upcoming return to "Saturday Night Live" in a newly released video. The "SNL" alum reunites with his former cast mate Kenan Thompson and asks him, "What's new since I left?" Thompson replies, "We renovated the bathroom. There's spaghetti and meatballs in the cafeteria. And we got a ton of black people now!" the latest of which poking fun at the show's diversity issue.

Hader does an impression of Thompson in another skit and also reveals that he stole a jacket from the props. Thompson later recalls that Hader never got a chance to talk when they appeared together and it happens again in the promo, but the two appear to be best buddies and Hader forgives Thompson for stealing the spotlight.

Hader returns to "SNL" as host for this week's edition that will air October 11 at 11:30/10:30c on NBC. Hozier serves as the musical guest.
