@@Grawlix_Jungle i know its a last chance, but we all know, this is just a massive cope. For whatever, surely money-related reason, they never aknowledged BCS as Emmy-worthy, so why should that now, when all the hype has gone cold, will go any different.
Thats actually insane how they invented mikes character, we got one of the best actors and characters in the whole breaking bad/bcs universe thanks to Bob.
For sure. It’s crazy because Banks was a total day player before that, dropping in for an episode or two on various shows but never getting a solid role. His appearance as the “cleaner” in Season 2 of BB was going to follow that trend but they called him back to return for season 3 since he crushed it. Wonderful actor, awesome dude. I love it when under utilized actors get to shine.
True story. My husband are huge BB/BCS fans. He was diagnosed with early stage cancer last year and had to have chemo. He now has to have scans every 3 months and so far his scans look good and he always texts me the message “Saul Goodman.”
8:40- “Did Bob Odenkirk audition for Michael Scott? Yes. But I didn’t get the part.” Instead he played possibly the greatest fictional Lawyer of all time.
This dude better win the Emmy this year, my man literally had a heart attack and came back to life to finish Better Call Saul! Dude is such a phenomenal actor, I wish him the very best in life.
This was so great. He seems to be really enjoying himself answering these questions. And a very humble guy. Been following his career for decades. What a gem.
This is a crazy coincidence today because I randomly watched Wayne's World 2 yesterday and my brain melted when I recognized a young Bob Odenkirk playing a dork in the concert backstage scene.
I love his honesty about past failures and missed opportunities. Most "celebrities" you get the impression they literally never had a bad day in their lives. Its also really telling that he talks about how he was a minor part of something big at SNL without trying to spin it in to some kind of LinkedIn massacre of modesty. Huge respect. He deserves his success. Him and Jonathan Banks killed it in BTL. They both deserved Emmy's. Jonathan in "Five-O" deserved an Emmy for that episode alone.
What? They made Mike up? This is... crazy. Mike is like the shining star of the entire BB/BCS universe. I cannot think of any replacement to either the actor nor the character itself. Mike is pure gold! Especially in BCS and especially with him nearly tearing up while speaking to Stacy with the "THIS IS BETWEEN ME AND MY SON". Without Mike this show wouldn't be at the same level as it is.
He was fantastic as Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad, but his performance as Jimmy McGill slowly transforming into Saul Goodman in Better Call Saul was so amazing that I will watch any movie or show he’s in. Generational performance, it’s the Television Academy’s loss to never honor him with an Emmy.
My first introduction to Bob Odenkirk was The Ben Stiller Show in 1992 and I've been a fan ever since. It's great to see him get recognition and well-earned success. He seems to be an endearingly humble guy and genuinely great person.
Bob is about as genuine as it gets. It is sort ironic his main role was Saul a sleezy lawyer or Jimmy who was as often not genuine or put on a fake face. I love Bob. He is great.
He just seems like a really nice guy. I can’t imagine anyone else portraying Saul Goodman to the level Bob did. Also his movie ‘Nobody’ is an awesome flick.
Such an amazing actor, to say he’s amazing is an understatement. Still fresh out of the series, hands down attached to his character. Would love to meet him in person and hear him “Saul Goodman, speedy justice for you”✌️
This may or may not be an uncommon opinion, but I don't think Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul would be as amazing as it was without Mike. To think such an important character in both shows was "invented" is an amazing thing to think about.
I don't know why, but knowing that he's the mastermind behind my absolutely favorite SNL skit of all time by my absolutely favorite comedian of all time just makes me love him even more. What a treasure you are, Mr. Odenkirk.
No one in comments is talking about the memory this guy has. Mans remembers every tiny detail about everything on the fly. Nice mental discipline there
4:41 Oh man, Nobody was F-ING fantastic. It was one of those films that needed to be made. Bob was an unlikely person to cast, not because he's not tough, but because it was a character you'd think would be given to a guy like Gary Sinise or some other comparable analog. That was a fun ride.
I'm a cinephile and my love of films started when I was 12. I remember it clearly, in my small town you did what everyone did, ate what everyone ate, listened to the music everyone listened to, and watched only the movies being hyped at any given moment. But, one day when I was 12, I spotted a DVD on the shelf of our local movie rental place. It had box-art similar to a New Yorker cartoon and this interesting font that was like the neurotic offspring of papyrus and comic sans, as well as a stupidly simple title: Melvin Goes to Dinner. It was mesmorizing, I knew I needed to rent it. The film followed a bunch of friends having a fancy dinner together and the dissolution of a relationship. That was the first independent film I ever saw and started my life of independent films. Fast forward almost 2 decades. My favourite TV show, Better Call Saul is just about to stick the landing with it's third-to-last episode and something makes me think of Melvin goes to Dinner. I look up the film on iMDB and it turns out it was directed by Bob Odenkirk.
Bob Odenkirk fans should check out his new book. He talks about his past as a comedy writer. Did you know he also was the supervisor for Tim and Eric Awesome Show?
Fun fact: Bob Odenkirk suffered the same heart attack as the director Kevin Smith both suffered widow makers and both had good doctors because the widow maker has a 80% fatality rate
The fact that he never won an Emmy for his portrayal of Saul Goodman is the biggest snub in the history of an award. Such a talented actor.
Same with rhea seahorn she killed it as kim👏
Agreed, although I will say he had fierce competition every time. Rami Malek in Mr. Robot being one example
He still could this year. Last year’s awards were for the first half of season six

Thats so sweet. Hopefully everything will be alright.
You might want to keep a lookout for his secret activities...
Jokes aside, I wish him a good recovery!
Is he an exceptionally good chemist too per chance?
maybe your husband and i could partner up
kidding aside praying for speed recovery💗
You are both troopers, stay strong!
I was so moved by how Bob answered the "How is Bob Odenkirk" question. He seems like such a genuine, down to earth guy.🥺 I only wish the best for him❤
Yeah I fuckin love this guy I could listen to him talking forever...
Other person would just say “wonderful thank you”
or he keeps playing that part very well, maybe he enjoys it
this guy is deep underneath that well built surface of comforting familiarity
He's nobody...

Lol I live like 20 miles Naperville I’m gonna call Saul 🤣
It's about time WIRED called saul

@Ramires Jiménez wrong comment section
They better.
8:40- “Did Bob Odenkirk audition for Michael Scott? Yes. But I didn’t get the part.” Instead he played possibly the greatest fictional Lawyer of all time.
there was also an office episode with him where he is basically Michael Scott too
Not possibly, DID play the greatest fictional lawyer of all time
Jackie Chiles might have something to say about this
I like Phoenix Wright more, but Saul still takes the top spot.
Fate had other plans for him, so it all worked out in the end for both him and Steve Carrel
Really refreshing, inspiring even, to see a guy of his caliber be so honest about his own failures.
on his Hot Ones he talked about embracing failures, and for a show about even hotter wings, it was so moving !
This dude better win the Emmy this year, my man literally had a heart attack and came back to life to finish Better Call Saul! Dude is such a phenomenal actor, I wish him the very best in life.

That's perfect because of the Ronnie Dobbs skit on Mr. Show where Ronnie Dobbs is telling Bob's character about how he keeps missing the quarter note.

Imagine a world where Odenkirk plays Michael Scott and Carell plays Saul Goodman
Bruh Carell as Saul Goodman is so interesting, I bet he would kill it honestly.
Honestly? They both could’ve pulled off the others role.
@@jonnil1997 Carell is the only other person i think that could pull off Saul
"Every five nominations equals a win" man o man, I love his way of seeing things. Absolute legend. 🤩🤩🤩🤩
The wildest fact I never heard here was Mike only getting on BB because Bob had to do another show. That is one insane butterfly effect
Better Call Saul would be so different without Mike that's crazy
What a sweet guy, he's so proud when he mentions that his brother has a degree in chemistry.
Truly humble.
I just love him so much. He's so underrated and it's unfair cause he's so talented. Great actor and a great personality, fondly appreciate the man.
Idt he's underrated. Is he?

Bobby, we need to cook.

What a wonderful and heartfelt guy! Really happy you guys had him on!
I love this man. He takes small questions and turns them into fantastic, humble stories. What a legend
This was so great. He seems to be really enjoying himself answering these questions. And a very humble guy. Been following his career for decades. What a gem.
In every interview he gives, he seems like such a genuinely nice guy and so down to earth. I love him.
You can see he loves what he does, and he's such a humble and honest person too, Bob Odenkirk is a national treasure
WE OWE MIKE TO HIMYM? Finally that show has a good reason to exist
I’ve never watched that show and probably never will be god bless it for indirectly giving us such a legendary character
@@theWn123it’s still a good show. Bryan Cranston is in it too. And the guy who plays Badger is in a few episodes.

Everything Bob Odenkirk does is such high quality.
When it's Saul Goodman, it's all good man.

Bro just did hot ones and now he’s on Wired. Interview game on top
Literally couldn't imagine anyone else playing Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman. Iconic role ✨
He survived a near death situation
Thank goodness he is alive
He’s so nice, humble, and down to earth but he still has that comedian edge. ❤️
So nice to see Saul portraying Bob Odenkirk
The fact that this guy didn't won an Emmy for playing Saul is a lifetime shame for Emmy.

Love that he doesn’t particularly try to be funny in interviews. Some comedians can’t turn it off. Refreshing and honest
Bob seems so wholesome, his presence would make a room smile

i love how he still avoids spoiling breaking bad for the people who didnt watch it yet
Bob is such an amazing actor. I really hope ''NOBODY'' movie gets a sequel!! it was fireee

Wow, did not know the story about Jonathan Banks being brought in last minute. Can't imagine BB and BCS without Mike.
Mike was definitely one of the best characters on both shows. Jonathan Banks made Mike a legend
Maybe because I find him so funny, I'm not sure, but I secretly (or not so much now) find Bob Odenkirk so attractive. He's so charismatic 🥰
Take a number...😂
No need to keep it secret. He IS attractive. Lots and lots of us think he’s attractive 😉
Definitely he’s handsome
Bro think he u/vulpes_mortuis 💀💀💀

Bob Odenkirk is one of the best actors of all time. He’s fantastic on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul
One of the most wholesome human beings to ever grace this Earth.
Such an absolute treasure and fantastic actor
He just seems like a really nice guy. I can’t imagine anyone else portraying Saul Goodman to the level Bob did. Also his movie ‘Nobody’ is an awesome flick.
Bob Odenkirk, one of my favourite actors. Just love the film 'Nobody' ... All the very best Bob.
Honestly loved his role in “nobody” the most of all. That was such a good movie
he's performance as Saul was awesome.
Correction: It’s perfect
3:13- “Vince Gilligan is the smartest guy in the room. But he pretends not to be.” Therefore truly making him the smartest man in the room.
Are you telling me that bob just happens to be on this video like that? No, he orchestrated!!! Jimmy!!!
Such an amazing actor, to say he’s amazing is an understatement. Still fresh out of the series, hands down attached to his character.
Would love to meet him in person and hear him “Saul Goodman, speedy justice for you”✌️
Bob Odenkirk is the BEST.
" I'm doing great , thank you "
He's such a down to earth guy
As someone who only started (and finished) Breaking Bad late last year, it’s really strange to see him with grey hair.
in better call saul I believe he’s playing a character 13 years younger than he is
It really kills me that Odenkirk's performance as Saul didn't get an Academy Award or an Emmy!!
It would be impossible for him to get an academy award for playing Saul.
Would have been pretty crazy to see him get an Oscar for a TV show
This may or may not be an uncommon opinion, but I don't think Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul would be as amazing as it was without Mike. To think such an important character in both shows was "invented" is an amazing thing to think about.
Bob is absolutely a good singer. Haven't you heard him as the milk machine?
It's insane how this guy looks literally just like Saul Goodman. They made a great choice of hiring him!
What a funny guy u r
Loved him in Nobody & Breaking Bad, as soon as i’m done with Breaking bad i’m gonna watch Better Caul Saul
Bob Odenkirk is so genuine
I’m so glad Bob is doing well. The world needs more nice people like him
My favourite scene of all time was when that one guy told him "Hey, you're Better Call Saul!” and then they all started Better Call Saulin on the bus.
The funny thing is that's not even a joke, it literally happens lol
I don't know why, but knowing that he's the mastermind behind my absolutely favorite SNL skit of all time by my absolutely favorite comedian of all time just makes me love him even more. What a treasure you are, Mr. Odenkirk.

Because better call saul is not AAAALL of that.
