He continued, “And I go, ‘I don’t know, I’ll find them.’ And he goes, ‘Find them, show me your leadership capabilities.’” With an accurate delivery of Schwarzenegger’s cadence, it was as if the ‘Terminator’ star was sitting right there.
Of course, demanding a display of leadership skills is exactly what we expect of the former governor of California. Hader also mimics his famous one-liner from Collateral Damage, “Open up the door. There’s a bomb in there.” He left the audience in stitches.

Where a lot of times, tales of Schwarzenegger involve the athlete-turned-actor being unintentionally funny, Schwarzenegger has an impeccable sense of humor. He also pivoted from his classic action movie career to dabble a bit in the comedy genre before.
While he’s known for his intimidating and masculine roles, Schwarzenegger has also shown off his funnier side. In fact, his very first film, Hercules In New York, credited as Arnold Strong, was a comedy too.
His most famous roles in the genre came from two movies. The first was the 1988 film Twins, where Schwarzenegger stars alongside Danny DeVito. The second was Kindergarten Cop showcasing Schwarzenegger as a hardened police officer that goes undercover as a kindergarten teacher.
