BOB ODENKIRK ON CHRIS FARLEY TRAGEDY insideofyou

[@russellst.martin4255]

I got to meet Bob twice. Seemed like a real good guy. Glad he's starting to get the recognition he deserves.

[@jasoncinema]

Exactly! I’ve been a fan since his days doing “Mr. Show” on HBO with David Cross. He put his work in, and then some, and to see him have such massive success now, with “Better Call Saul” and the upcoming action film “Nobody” where he’s kicking ass and shooting guns, I’m so happy for him.

The interview is painful but hearing Bob talk about this is nice. Gotta love when the interviewer doesn’t listen to his guest and just tries to make the subject come back to him in some way.

Good lord yes. Why are 9/10 podcast hosts/KZbin interviewers etc. grating, self-possessed jackholes who are either completely ignorant of their guest, or insist on fucking talking over the guest every two seconds to try to relate everything to them. Newsflash - you invited these people to your show to listen to THEM, your audience has tuned in to hear THEM, not your stale jokes/side-stories.

[@bradsully6620]

Exactly, he has a weird vibe to him. He interrupts Bob constantly and wants everything to be about him somehow. I've never heard of this dude but I guarantee Bob will never come back on here.

[@dlxmarks]

Bob and Chris were an amazing team. Both legends. Thanks for the video

[@nsasupporter7557]

@skylar petty Chris Farley was Not a legend, not even close. He had his moments of when he was funny on SNL, that was it. Then when he got on the big screen, he only had 1 successful movie, Tommy Boy. No one liked Black Sheep as much and the rest of the movies he did were flops up until his death. And since he died he has been forgotten about. So he’s not a legend

[@skylarpetty7717]

[@nsasupporter7557]

@Devin Mac not every skit with him was funny though. Yes I agree, both Tommy Boy and Black Sheep were better than his last films... Beverly Hills Ninja and Almost Heroes, those were total garbage. The thing about that guy though Devin Mac is he was just A very pitiful person. I felt very sorry for him because he was just an overweight buffoon who everybody laughed at, that’s a TERRIBLE LIFE.
