Varietyexplained that theSaturday Night Livealum, 40, spent the summer months in part writing forBarry‘s second season and filming his role asadult Richie Tozier inIt: Chapter 2.
“I’m going, ‘Next summer I’m taking off. And I’m going to spend every day with them,’ ” Hader said of his girls. “It’s this weird thing where when you’re in this industry, you don’t have time to be with them, and it’s really, really difficult. I’m getting emotional right now talking about it.”
“Congrats, it’s the firstinterview I’ve ever cried in,” he added with a laugh later in the chat.

Hader recalled having to quit SNL after his second daughter was born (“I was never around”), but looks forward to the time he can have with his kids now — in fact, he’s over the moon about the idea of them getting tired of having him around the house.
“They can see me all day if they want,” he said of his upcoming plans for the summer, when he will be writing at home. “They can really get sick of me.”
