Ali Wong will never forget the lengths Bill Hader went to in order to finally date her.
The comedian and award-winning “Beef” star delivered a candid standup set Sunday in Los Angeles and, after opening up about her divorce from Justin Hakuta following eight years of marriage, shared just how determined Hader was to finally make her his girlfriend.
“I get a phone call from this guy who I met at a dinner party in the past, and he got my number from a mutual friend,” Wong told the Wiltern Theatre crowd after selling out 12 nights at the historic venue for the “Netflix Is a Joke Fest,” per Rolling Stone.
“He was like, ‘Hey, I just happened to hear the news about your divorce, and I’ve had a crush on you forever. I actually told my best friend years ago that you were my dream girl, and I know it sounds crazy, but I want you to be my girlfriend,’” she recalled him saying.
Wong added she merely wanted “to get dicked down” at the time to put her “just got out of prison energy” to use and had just downloaded a dating app. “I just paid $25. You seem really nice, but I gotta get my money’s worth,” she told Hader.
