Saturday Night Live featured numerous well established and popular celebrities, but did you ever wonder who were the ones that behave poorly behind the scenes? Well, one viewer of Watch What Happens Live decided to ask SNL veterans Bill Hader and Jay Pharaoh just this. They almost instantly gave the answer, agreeing that Justin Bieber was, in fact, the worst behaved guest on the show.

“Bieber, he was just in a bad place,” said Hader. “Maybe he’s in a better place, but then … it was rough.”

“Everybody’s usually on great behavior,” he explained. “Bieber is the only one in my experience…he just seemed like exhausted or just at the end of a rope.”

Bill Hader also spoke about Bieber’s SNL appearance on several occasions before, including the interview with Howard Stern.

“Justin Bieber showed up with like 20 guys,” Hader said at the time. “He had a guy holding a slice of pizza. A guy holding a Diet Coke…You’re trying to fight through all these people to get dressed.”

Bieber was featured on Saturday Night Live three times so far. In 2010 he was a musical guest, then made a cameo in 2012, and finally hosted and performed in 2013 becoming the youngest male to ever do so.
