Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down podcast. My thanks as always for clicking and listening along with me today. I've got a good one dialed up for you with Emmy and Tony winner and all-around great guy, Brian Cranston. Brian, of course, who you know. And for his iconic role as Walter White on Breaking Bad,

is now starring in the new Showtime series called Your Honor, and it's got a little

Breaking Bad to it. It's a guy who is a respected judge in New Orleans, whose son, his teenage

son, is involved in a hit-and-run accident, a fatal a fatal hit and run accident. And then we go down

this path of the cover up. He is a judge trying to protect his own son. Amazing show. You guys are

going to really love it. He's home in L.A., Brian Cranston. This is another one of these Zoom

interviews that we've been doing. I'm sitting in my house. He's sitting in

his house. You turn on your computer, you flip open your MacBook, and bang, there's Cranston filling

up the screen. We talk about Your Honor. We talk about Breaking Bad. And we talk about his COVID diagnosis

back in March. I don't think we knew about it publicly, maybe until July when he announced it on

Instagram, but he had it pretty bad while they were shooting Your Honor, actually, down in New

Orleans. He was diagnosed, he and his wife, Robin. They shut down immediately production on the show

for seven months. And then they had to come back and finish the show in October and wrapped

just around Thanksgiving time and time to get this series off and launched. So he talks about that.

He talks about competing in a darkly funny way with Tom Hanks, his good friend for who had the

stronger antibodies. He'll explain that one for you. Just such a good guy with such an

interesting career,

such perspective and so much to say. I hope you enjoy right now on the Sunday Sit Down podcast,

my conversation with Brian Cranston. Brian, it's good to see you, man. How are you?

I'm doing really well. Thank you, Willie. Good to see you. It's good to see you, too. There's been a lot going on since I've talked to you last.

You won a Tony for Network. Maybe most importantly, your Dodgers won the World Series.

And now you're a big tequila guy. So there's a lot happening for you.
