Emmys 2019: Bill Hader hilariously pokes fun at Barry co creator Alec Berg during winning speech

Bill Hader's show Barry was amongst the hot picks by many to dominate at Emmys 2019. While Game of Thrones made history this year with a record-breaking 32 nominations for its final season, Barry was not far behind as it secured 17 nominations including the big honours such as Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Bill Hader, Oustanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Henry Winkler, Stephen Root and Anthony Carrigan, Oustanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Sarah Goldberg, Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series and Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series.

Fleabag took home most of the Comedy wins but Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series was booked for Mr. Hader, who won the coveted trophy second time in a row, for Barry! During his winning speech, the 41-year-old actor dedicated his win to Barry co-creator Alec Berg but not without poking fun at him. "I get asked a lot for the show, 'How do you direct yourself?' and I said, 'There’s a lot of great directors on the show, but the person I usually go to is my friend and co-creator Alec Berg,'" the Saturday Night Alum started his speech.

"And usually after every take, I’ll go over to Alec and say, 'What do you think?' and I usually get one of two responses. It’s either, 'Yeah, we should move on' or 'Eh, we should go again,'" Bill quipped.

"So I want to thank you for molding my performance and I don’t know where I would be without you. Love you, man," Hader concluded in a sweet note.
