Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down Podcast.

My thanks as always for clicking and listening along.

I'm excited to bring you my interview this week with one Bob Odin Kirk.

You may know him as the breakout star of Breaking Bad where he played sketchy attorney

Saul Goodman, which led to the spin-off another hit series called Better Call Saul.

Now about to come out with its final season.

Bob has a fascinating story.

Grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, one of seven children.

It was mostly his mom raising them and he frankly says he had to entertain her and keep

people happy.

He had an eye and a nose and a love for comedy.

Went off to college and became a performer and a writer and at 25 years old was hired

as a writer at Saturday Night Live.

Now you should know we're doing this interview in a new bar that's inside 30 Rockefeller

Plaza in the same building where he worked for three and a half seasons on SNL.

Went on and did Mr. Show which was a cult hit of favorite among comedy freaks and

efficient autos.

And then this turn comes where he's sort of in a down period in his career and frankly

you'll hear him talk about it.

Say he needed the money when Breaking Bad called.

Didn't know anything about the show.

He hadn't seen it.
