Bob Odenkirk | The Art of Anger in Comedy | Mike Birbiglia’s Working It Out Podcast
Bob Odenkirk was already a comedy legend (SNL, The Ben Stiller Show, Mr. Show with Bob and David) before he took a left turn into dramatic acting with Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Now he’s entered yet another new phase as an unlikely action star in films like the Nobody series. Bob sits down with Mike to discuss how anger works in comedy and action films, the stress of making Better Call Saul, and the time Bob played Mike’s brother on a TV pilot.

Great episode – Odenkirk is one of my favorites. I'd love to hear more about writing structure in comedy. The writing is fascinating to me (and I'm sure others as well).

How many times can Mike say “yeah” in one episode? This one might be a record breaker 😂

Bob was also so good in his bit in Fargo as the police chief. Just so good. Wish he would talk about it more. He was so real and believable

Sorry, but would you mind not interrupting so much, Mike B? The "yeah yeah, I get that"'s are an art form in and of themselves. I think you gotta learn to hold them back while you wait for them to finish talking. This interview has some really great moments though. Love both of y'all!
