Shows withBill Haders name attached to them scored a combined21 Emmy nominationson Tuesday.
And yet, he seemed to be equally excited about two nominations that he had nothing to do with.
I just absolutely love them, not only as performers but people.

They are just two of the best.
We were shocked, admits Hader.
I did not expect that.
They kind of trickle in, you dont get them all at once.
Im just getting texts and then my publicist goes, Wow, you got 17 nominations in total.
[Laughs] Im like, Wait, what?!
And I call [co-creator] Alec Berg and told him and he just couldnt believe it.
I texted Anthony congrats and he goes, For what?'
I was like, You just got nominated for an Emmy!
And he wrote back, HOLY SHIT.
Anthony and Sarah and especially Stephen Root made us very, very happy.
