Bob Odenkirk Has a Fire in His Belly While Eating Spicy Wings | Hot Ones

What's the best TV series of all time? Thumbs up if Better Call Saul is one of you top picks.

The fact that he never won an Emmy for his portrayal of Saul Goodman is the biggest snub in the history of any award. Such a talented actor.

Sean's last question monologue and seeing Bob's face light really shows the power of Sean as an interviewer

Nothing annoys me more than how underappreciated this man is as an actor. Jimmy McGill is my favourite fictious character of all time and Bob is the reason why he is so great.

I noticed that most of the comedians Sean brings to the show are actually serious, mostly cynical and really observant and intelligent people, who put up some kind of a defensive facade in the beginning and slowly open up towards the end.

Bob Odenkirk at the beginning really was giving vibes that he didn't want to be there doing a gimmicky interview and had really low expectations. But, Sean's ability to ask thought-provoking questions and keep guests entertained is AMAZING! By the end you could tell Bob was genuinely enjoying himself. Keep it up Hot Ones!!!

I love how engaged Sean is when Bob is retelling a joke or story, it’s like your cool uncle you never see all the time

It’s crazy how well Saul is able to portray this Bob Odenkirk character

"It's gonna hurt you more than anyone you resent" is such good advice. You gotta love Bob

I can listen to Odenkirk's voice forever. It is so soothing and familiar to me. I'm not a Fandom sort, but when it comes to Bob, I'm obsessed.

Bob definitely warmed up in this interview. He went from being a bit frosty to being very relatable and enjoyable.

An amazing portrayal of how spicy the wings are. Through Bob's brilliant acting, we can fully sympathize with how much the wings were on the Scoville scale. Bravo Vince!

Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are 2 of the GREATEST shows ever created! Thank You Bob, amazing interview Sean.

It's incredible to see Bob talk. Decades of show biz wisdom seeps out of him. I don't care for childrens books but I will 100% pick that up just to support such an incredible journey with his kids.

I love how every guest is surprised at their own good time brought on by this amazing and underrated host with the most unpredictable and surprising interviews.
My favorite thing I often hear them say is, "I'm surprised you know about that." lol Of course, it's always great when they admit that they were surprised at their own good time.
Another great episode. Thanks so much!
Also, shout out to the editors. You really know how to bring out the best in what this show has to offer.

Sean is always professional and tries to be a gracious host with pissy guests, but I feel he was a gleeful fan boy with Bob. Like he met his comedy hero. And I’m happy for him.

We have Bob odenkirk to thank for a lot of comedy! It’s crazy how far he goes back on the improv scene too. I honestly think he’s underrated and far from the public eye when it comes to his writing talent. He’s really a genius and I’m glad he’s getting so so so much love.

Everyone else: tries to withstand the heat to look tough by nibbling small bites of the wings and not drinking any water.
Bob Odenkirk: eats dinner.

Bob: yeah I'm not really a hot sauce guy
Also Bob: proceeds to crush every single wing and give clear, coherent answers

It’s actually insane that the writing in BB and BCS is so good that Bob has learned life lessons from playing a character in those shows. “Let go of resentments” is a major theme in both shows and although they’re fictional, they’re so well written and believable that the actors involved feel those themes on a personal level. As does the audience.

Amazing guest - Bob is a legend and seems so down to earth.

Bob's brain is lightyears ahead of us to the point where the spiciest wing can't stop him from being a comedic genius and just a genius in general.

Has anyone else started buying wings to eat while watching? For years, I watched and it really made me want wings everytime. I then realized it's within my power to make that happen lol

The most underrated actor/comedian of our lifetime.

Bob is honestly a very humble person that truely is just here for the ride and for the fun. I can respect that.

Amazing how Sean completely reversed Bob's expectations of this interview. I could tell from the beginning he wasn't feeling the vibe and was probably expecting some cookie cutter interview with only questions relating to the Breaking Bad universe. What an absolutely brilliant and joyful interaction here.

Sean’s guest lineup lately has been crazyyy, if there was ever a golden age of hot ones this would be it

This man deserves so much more recognition in his industry, he is one of the real greats

One of the most underrated actors of our time. The range of that guy. Wow!

Bobby is more relaxed of a dude than I assumed. Just very calm with bits of humor and theatrics sprinkled into the mix to go along with his natural charm. What a guy.

Bob Odenkirk is proof your peak can happen at any age, keep on pushing and bettering yourself and the rest will follow!

It’s crazy to see a character from a tv show then actually see the actor true self really gives you a perspective how good they are at acting.

Aside from the fact that he just BOSSED all those hot sauce like a champ, anything this guy is in I’m watching it. He’s an amazing actor. It’s literally because of him that I finally caved and watched Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

Woah, I haven't watched this show in a long time now. Sean is an extremely talented interviewer.

Man, I feel like comedians are the most sad but most joyful people on the planet and we are so lucky to have them and bring us all together and laugh no matter our differences at the end of the day!

What an interview! Top 10 ever, for me. Him saying that acting on stage at Second City with Chris Farley was the best time he ever had in showbiz brought tears to my eyes. Legends!

I love the fact that Bob heard about how good Sean as an interviewer and the show is also a good talk show. These words of mouths from the celebrities are the best promo

This dude has some great interview questions and Bobs charisma is awesome. So happy this interview happened.

God I love this man. First saw him in breaking bad, and I've watched all of his work since. This dude is a fantastic actor

Bob writing poetry with his little kids and publishing them with his grown kids is just the sweetest thing. Gold medal for this dad.

I can't begin to put into words how thankful I am for this interview/episode. Odenkirk is a genius and always has been!

From Mr. Show to writing children's books...what a legend.

I had no idea Bob Odenkirk wrote the script for Chris Farley as the motivational speaker! That’s so cool! I’m a huge Bob Odenkirk fan! Super glad you were able to get him on an episode of hot ones!! Thanks for this video!! Was definitely a great one!!!!

Bob is one of those people that is truly good, wish him all the best

This guy is literally walking people through a semi-psychedelic experience.
He is The HotSauce Shaman. :)

HOW DOES EACH EPISODE KEEP GETTING BETTER?? OH MY GOODNESS

Bob cracked me up the entire time like he always does, but I have to hand it to Sean for that response to Bob's call back line about being responsible: "Whoa! But that Last Dab thing, There's nothing responsible about that!

I remember seeing the first episodes of Hot Ones and thought it was an interesting take on interviews, but I never thought that Sean would turn out to be such gifted interviewer. He seems to me that he is to interviewing what Anthony Bourdain was to storytelling. And that to me is the greatest compliment.

i recently became a fan of bob because his acting blew me away on BCS. listened to a few of his interviews out of curiosity and he’s so intelligent, it’s refreshing

Bob is as brave as he says everyone should be. He's a great actor hiding and fighting the spices.

Incredibly deep, smart and serious guy. Enjoyed every second of that

Bob is just such a likeable guy

Wow. I didn’t know Bob wrote the “van down by the river” sketch. What a legend.

One of my favorite actors, great episode.

Every episode, I'm blown away with how good interviewer Sean is! Always well prepared, asking relevant and interesting questions that often take them off guard but never offend or shame them in any way. One of the best interviewers there is!

I love when actors do hot ones. It’s nice to see their real emotion and know it’s truly authentic. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Jimmy McGill as stressed as he was after eating da bomb 😂

I am utterly in love with Bob Odenkirk.
Also, can you imagine Robin Williams doing an episode of Hot Ones? If only...

Bob is such an underrated actor, he should have won more awards with Better Call Saul. I'm glad he got a hot ones ep, now get Brendan Fraser! 🙏

I feel like bob is one of the people you can talk to forever

Man, Lucky Hank is such a good show, and Bob's performance is the icing on the cake.

I love Bob, always have as an Actor and a writer, he is the best. But I have to add Sean and his team do such a wonderful job of coming up with really great questions. This is become my favorite weeknight show and I have only seen maybe 6 of them!

Bob is such a legend in the industry and took those wings on like a champion. But can we please also give props to the camera guy Bill and the top tier editing.

Everyone thinks of him as an actor now, but this is one of the greatest comedy writers of our generation

I appreciated all the musical transitions and vibe shifts in this.
The sound effects are always top class.
Superb production and hosting. This is a masterclass of refinement, but still having fun with it.
What mics are you using on the guests??
Never gonna get an answer but thought I’d try anyway.

Sean is so genuine as a fan & host. So thoughtful in these like complex multi layered questions to the guests. Very cool. I loved some of Odenkirks insights to the characters he’s played and directed also. I think sauls story was masterful in the way he kind of back engineered the breaking bad storyline in BCS as one of the most important parts of the saga & possibly the best sense of closure we get out of it all! Great episode guys.

This was another amazing show, He was taking big bites he wasn’t playing around someone that’s not a real spice guy man he handled it like a pro serious nice job great show

Bob’s love for Chris Farley is so genuine. As soon as Sean mentions his name he starts smiling.

I have a hard time not seeing Saul, but Bob's irl personality is so different it's off-putting. Such an incredibly talented actor.

To be honest, Bob Odenkirk should’ve won lots of awards for Better Call Saul, this man is a gem.

His love for Chris Farley hits me right in the feels❤

Perfect timing this interview came out the same day I finally finished Better call saul, probably one of my favourite shows now and 100% my fav tv show character

I have just finished binging Better Call Saul and I can say that this could not come at a better time.

Felt like you could see Bob's love for comedy so clearly when he ended with the word "joy" on the last question 🥲And another great set of questions from Sean!

Bob is such a humble dude. There's a lot of actors who have too much ego/pride to be an actual human being. S/O to Mr. Odenkirk

i like how bob started off a bit reserved, maybe a bit of his guard up. Then after a few wings, he's chopping it up with Sean

What I love about hot ones is the interviews are filled with a lot of respect. It isn't filled with lowball questions but questions that really gives you insight into the people we as a society put on pedestals.
I'd definitely love to see the three hosts from the grand tour on here though.

Words will never describe how much I love Bob Odenkirk

I don't really get vicarious affection for celebrities as a general rule, even ones that have written pieces of music that are close to my heart. But I dare say, I adore Bob Odenkirk. Everything that features him, I swear. I'm planning to buy that book when it comes out. What gold, honestly.

Sean does an incredible job of (pleasantly) surprising his A-list guests. He catches them off guard and gets them to open up and share parts of themselves we don't often get to see. His skills as an interviewer are why we keep coming back, but he keeps it all cleverly hidden behind the spicy-wing-eating challenge and the heavyweight guest list. Hats off to you, First We Feast!

I loved how passionate he was about the poems book written & illustrated with his children at the end. I can't wait for ZILOT! It sounds like an amazing work from the heart, and soooo fun for kids!!!

This was such a great episode. Love Bob, cool learning so many new things about his life.

I love Bob Odenkirk. Can't wait to be on this show someday. :) fingers crossed.

On the last one I loved how he said why are you opening it. 😂 I know he was being funny but he did it with such a straight and serious face made me laugh so hard. He did a really good job. He actually looked pretty composed. I love his work.

I am very upset that the Mr. Show sketch "Change for a Dollar" is no longer on Clip-Share, at least it wasn't the last dozen times I tried looking for it. Bob's dance as the golfing CEO with the "Woo!" at the end never fails to make me belly laugh.

He's my favorite actor of all time and he took those wings like a champ. It's beautiful he wrote a book with his daughter

This is one of the few good shows these days. Respectful, kind in the edits, consistent and warm. Or hot. Love your work. Great crew and great host. A delicate balance to achieve this. Well done ❤

It's about time we bring in a "guest" that prepares an interview for Sean so we get to see him in the guest seat

One of the most wholesome interviews of all time, love it, love bob.

I like Breaking Bad better than Better Call Saul overall, but I cared WAY more about Saul than I ever did about Walt, and a large part of that is because of Bob and what he brought to the character. The writers knocked every character out of the park, but Bob has such a charisma that is so unique to him and is super earnest about both writing and acting that he elevates every role he touches. Looking forward to episode two of Lucky Hank and really enjoyed this interview!

Dude took it so well I’ve never seen anything like it

Can we appreciate Sean not talking about Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul and only talking about Bob's underrated works.

His acting for "Better Call Saul" is just as good as Brian Cranston in "Breaking Bad"

Bob deserves more awards lol. He's been great for a long time.

Bob is so awesome and Sean brought the interview as always. There were 3 times I stopped the video to "like" it to find out I already have.

This one is deffo my favourite, Bob is a cracking guy, funny, honest and just himself, happy to shoot from the hip. A nice tip of the hat towards Chris Farley too made it even more classy. 😊

Such a great guy and an incredible talent!

The fact that Bob literally came back from the dead and endured an episode of Hot Ones is the reason why he’s the GOAT.

This was an excellent interview! He seems very thoughtful.

Bob is the man, a truly multi-talented and hilarious person

Bob is a Gem 💎
