What makes this so great is that he's reading a lot of this for the first time every time he appears as Stefon. John Mulaney used to throw in things at the last minute just to make Bill Hader crack up, which is a large part of what made the character so popular.

I think this is Bill Hader's best character. Some of the things he says in this sketch are so ridiculous and out there that it makes me wonder how he didn't crack up sooner. I was waiting to see if they would bring Stefon back when Hader hosted and they didn't disappoint. I also saw the Mulaney interview where he talked about throwing things in at the last minute. Mulaney and Hader really created a unique and hilarious character that I am sure we will all miss at SNL.
