Bob Odenkirk on Better Call Saul Watch Party & Working with Al Franken on SNL

[@alexlazzerly3677]

After last night’s finale, the character of Saul Goodman is officially one of the greatest tv characters of all time.

[@lobaggins3328]

Talked them down to 7 1/2 years .. his monologue was effing beautiful 🤩 loved it .. I even believed him lol

[@toms5996]

I would add Kim Wexler to the list. They - as a couple - were just great.

[@madgreek253]

It's one of the only finale's Ive liked and actually believed could happen to the character besides breaking bad.

[@VinsmokeBT98]

I think its one of the best season finales ive ever had a chance to witness, what a ride ! and ofc : can't wait for better fuel huel

[@MarkHogan994]

@@toms5996 Yeah, Kim is a phenomenal character. And the love story between her and Jimmy is just so powerful. Not usually a fan of romance in fiction but when it's done with such subtlety and intelligence, it's wonderful to watch. Their relationship was the heart of the show, and that only made the ending more devastating.

[@YamaanArif]

It's really sad when you realize that we will never see anymore of Better Call Saul. I will surely rewatch it

[@madgreek253]

They could do a series where he runs the prison crime syndicate where they all answer to him.

That series finale was absolute perfection. BCS is probably the greatest show I've ever watched, it's just immaculate.

[@LeaveChrisAlone18]

It's a constant theme with the people who watched from start to finish, I think. I say the same it's probably my favorite show and Saul is one of my favorite characters of all time.

[@StueyTheWiz]

It's crazy that they took a comic relief character and made him into the epicenter of the entire breaking bad universe

[@SwiftEC360]

“The fans knew I looked older and didn’t care!” This is because the show respects the audience so much throughout, that it’s easy to let things like this slide.

[@jlnasseri4390]

The best show! No one but Bob Odenkirk could have played Saul as he did with that voice and demeanor. He ran with the character and made it what it wonderfully is. Such talent and he should be recognized for it with an Emmy.

[@lestranged]

When I watched Bob on Breaking Bad, he was always a scene stealer but he was like the comic relief. Better Call Saul let him show so much more range. I never imagined he would move me in the tragic ways he did with that character. Just an absolutely amazing actor. He can do it all. Dunno if he can sing & dance but I would not be surprised.

[@theredheadsaidNYC]

When i heard that BCS was happening, I was lIke "ugh i don't know if i can watch 100% Saul" but i'm SOOO glad I gave it a chance. It's such stunning television.

[@DIVISIONINCISION]

Based on the karaoke scenes in the show singing might be the one thing he can’t do 😅

@@deliathemchale I just finished watching it today so I remember he did some decent vibrato twice, once in one of the last episodes singing along to a song in his car as Gene, another time he sang a little "Ta-Da" in an episode that sounded oddly pretty lol.

It hasn’t been done before: a brilliant finale to a brilliant series. From makeup to actors, writers and producers, BB and BCS are the GOATS

[@lildeadgirl1443]

I find it so endearing that Bob always seems genuinely shocked when people know who he is and like him

[@Moshington]

He probably still feels like a behind the scenes type of guy.

[@allensinho4]

That's why I will forever enjoy Bob and Conan podcasts talking about how they made it and who they worked with.

[@danielfowler7986]

@Diego Van down by the River, with Chris Farley. F***ing hilarious.

[@lestranged]

@@mayaram2411 OMG he wrote that?! Brilliant! That is STILL a catchphrase I use.

[@BCThunderthud]

It was before SNL for Farley--he did it at Second City first--but Odenkirk started at SNL in '87 at the same time as Conan. I'm not sure how he managed to also write for Get a Life, Conan, and be part of The Ben Stiller Show at the same time but it's pretty amazing.

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

Over the years Bob has consistently displayed what a great guy he is. He always displays his humility and humanity and his sense of humor is wicked. I hope Bob and Better Call Saul win all the awards. Everyone on that show just knocked it out of the park.

[@BE-rn4px]

Knowing they all watched the finale together makes me so happy. Now I wanna watch it again

[@brogren802]

After watching the finale I got these overwhelming feelings about all the regrets I have in life and it really hit home. I wasn't expecting it to end like this. It is a great show one of the best ever.

Better call Saul is one of my all time favorite shows, brilliant. It wouldn't have been anywhere near as successful without Bob Odenkirk , a perfect Saul.

Kudus to Bob for taking control over this interview once he realized Al couldn’t name the BCS Crew and was kinda awkward with his questions

[@邵幼雲]

It shows what a good friend he truly is of Al.

[@JoshuaStDenis]

Yeah it's clear that he's not good at interviewing people he already knows, because the one with rhea flows better. Either way though he's incredibly awkward during the back and forth, the audience could feel it.

[@HENJAM48]

How fkn generous is Bob??? What a great human being.

[@Cletus_the_Elder]

There is a special warm-and-fuzzy sentiment when someone who makes it big acknowledges a person who helped him in the past. It is rare, unfortunately. People who become successful often minimize the help they received and credit themselves for their achievements.

[@AyeCarumba221]

Bob Odenkirk was just hilarious in Breaking Bad. I’d say he was as important a character as Bryan Cranston really.

[@MichaelLasotaMusic]

I'm happy Al Franken got uncancelled from the past things. People make bad decisions. I do too. We ALL do. I love you Al! Keep it rocking.

[@jamesnoelward9116]

Refresh my memory…..didn’t he try to cancel a lot of people? Yes. Yes he did. It was hypocrisy and hubris that cancelled him. Plus those pictures of him pretending to go on a sleeping woman’s bazoooooms. I guess it just looked to date rapey and all. And the fact there were pictures. And the fact he was smiling. And the fact that he directed and staged the photo op. And the fact that even after taking it he did not get the sleeping woman’s consent. No. Nothing to see here because he is a democrat. No millions of women marching with home knitted “booby” hats for him.

That's great these two SNL alumni get to meet and reminesce having come so far in their careers.

[@DanHarkless_Halloween_YTPs_etc]

3:04 - Took me a minute to realize that with "[Bob] wrote the motivational speaker…", Al was I guess referring to the Stuart Smalley character he did on SNL? Those sketches always cracked me up; I even had the _I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!_ book. Never caught the terribly reviewed _Stuart Saves His Family_ film that Harold Ramis directed, but given that I'm even a fan of _It's Pat: The Movie_ (a contemporary that grossed only $60K!), I'll have to check it out one of these days.
