Bob Odenkirk Talks Potential ‘Nobody’ Quadrilogy, ‘Pluribus’ Hype and Not Missing Saul Goodman

After 14 years in the 'Breaking Bad' world, Odenkirk hasn't looked back, but says he'd be up for one (or two) more 'Nobody' films.

It was one thing to go from a comedy writer and performer on SNL in the late ‘80s to his own beloved HBO sketch comedy series, Mr. Show with Bob and David, in the mid-’90s. But to reinvent himself as an equally effective comedic and dramatic actor in his late 40s and 50s — largely due to his roles as Saul Goodman and Jimmy McGill on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul — is something nobody saw coming. The later career twists and turns for the 7-time-Emmy-nominated actor weren’t over yet, as Odenkirk took on yet another challenge that nobody anticipated: action franchise star.

‘Nobody’ star Bob Odenkirk reveals he made the movie just to impress his ‘SNL’ buddies

The “Better Call Saul” star has revealed that he only made the 2021 action movie “Nobody” because he wanted to impress his former “Saturday Night Live” colleagues.

“I thought of you guys often when I was exercising and thinking that’s just a reason to be doing this is if I could pull it off,” Odenkirk, 62, told Conan O’Brien during the “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” podcast this week.

While Odenkirk name-dropped O’Brien, Robert Smigel and Adam Sandler as some of the buddies he wanted to impress, the “Breaking Bad” actor also included comedian David Spade specifically.

“I kept thinking about Spade, I don’t know why,” Odenkirk, who was a writer on “SNL” from 1987 to 1991, laughed. “He would go see it and go like, ‘What the f–k?'”

Bob Odenkirk Discusses How Hard It Is to ‘Turn a Comedy Writer’s Body Into an Action Hero’s Body’

According to comedy and, now, action great Bob Odenkirk, Nobody can turn a Saturday Night Live writer into a stone-cold killer.

Throughout the history of comedy and drama, accomplished performers in both genres have always wanted to know what life was like on the other side of the fence. That urge for greener grass has long helped SNL to attract A-list movie stars who will slap on a silly costume and try out their best impression in hopes of getting a few laughs to go with their Oscars, but efforts to move in the opposite direction have yielded mixed results. For every Robin Williams who blows us away in Good Will Hunting, there’s a dozen Dane Cooks starring in awful child abduction dramas like the 2011 disaster Answers to Nothing.
