With the show about to reach a gripping climax, Jimmy Fallon picked the perfect time for a Breaking Bad skit on his chat show last night and he had some help from some pretty big stars too.
Fallon, Late Night announcer Steve Higgins and writer A.D. Miles all reprised roles similar to the lead characters in Breaking Bad for a 12-minute skit called Joking Bad in which Fallon (or Falsenberg) takes to the streets to sell Grade A jokes on the black market.
With a bald cap, glasses, goatee and near-identical clothes to what Walt wears in Breaking Bad, Fallon actually does a convincing job as a parody of Walter White, while Bob Odenkirk (Saul) makes an appearance as Fallon’s agent and Aaron Paul (Jesse) and Bryan Cranston (Walt) appear in the crowd to heckle a particularly bad stand-up appearance by the late-night host.
There are a few parts of the skit that relate back to specific incidents in the show and even though it would be a stretch to call them spoilers, we know how sensitive people are about that sort of thing right now so don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Nice work, yo.
