I am Bob Odenkirk. Let's Do Me!

Hey reddit, it's...Bob. Bob Odenkirk here.

Adult Swim recently posted a pilot I made for them last year called "Let's Do This!" and I want everyone to see it. http://bit.ly/zqhB0l EDIT: fixed link - http://bit.ly/VCo6MS

While I find it hard to believe I am in showbiz, I guess my imdb page kind of tells me I am. Sort of. So, anyhow...want to ask me a question mark? Go nuts.

EDIT: It's really me! See my picture? http://i.imgur.com/ZBE8B.jpg

Okay guys, it's 2:30 and I started this at 11...I gotta go. I thank you for your kind compliments and thoughtful questions. I took half of them seriously. I hope you like my answers. All the best to all of you and always remember Winston Churchill's awesome words and my favorite quote of all time, "If you're going through hell...keep going!"

I don't have a question, I just wanted to say I think you're awesome on Breaking Bad. Every scene you're in is hilarious. Thank you for helping make the show what it is.

I am ridiculously lucky to be included in Breaking Bad, a truly amazing show. I'm just glad I'm not fucking it up for everyone. When people think my presence actually helps the show, well, that's just "honey on a walnut" to me...is that the phrase?...no, wait, now I got it, that's just "an altoid on a pretzel" to me. It's a good thing.

Breaking Bad is the best show on TV. Mind-blowingly good in every aspect. When I recommend it to friends I cite your role as Saul Goodman as one of the reasons it's excellent! Can't wait to see more of Walt, Jesse, and Saul in the final season!

PS. I don't normally fawn over celebrities, but you're one of my exceptions - When I first saw Mr. Show all those years ago I was like "These guys are comic geniuses!" and have made a point to find other work you, David, and the rest of the cast have done. Have a great day, thanks for the AMA!

I agree. I almost stopped watching after the hydrochloric acid bathtub scene in the first season. So glad I didn't. The rest of the show has been amazing.
