The star of Mr. Show, Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, and Nobody shares in this humorous and touching book about the highs and lows of show business, his famous cult reputation as a comedy writer, and what it's like to remake himself at fifty as a no-holds-barred action picture ass-kicker.
The career of Bob Odenkirk defies explanation. However, he will do all in his power to explain it here, since memoirs are meant for that purpose. Charting a "Homeric" decades-long "Odyssey" from his origins in the seedy comedy clubs of Chicago all the way to a dramatic career that is baffling to his friends, it's almost like there are two or three Bob Odenkirks...but there is just one and one is enough, frankly.
After a fortuitous encounter with the renowned Del Close of Second City, Bob decided to pursue a career in comedy, which ultimately resulted in an employment as an SNL writer. He learned the craft of sketch writing as he battled the harsh realities of live comedy. He used these skills in the enduring "Motivational Speaker" sketch for his friend Chris Farley, refined them on The Ben Stiller Show, and refined them on Mr. Show With Bob and David, which served as an inspiration to a whole generation of comedy writers and stars. Then Hollywood growth, that hope-dashing machine, met his career. But more than anybody, Bob was shocked to find himself on Breaking Bad when all hope was gone for the umpteenth time. He worked with Greta Gerwig, Alexander Payne, and Steven Spielberg after embracing this odd new realm of dramatic acting. Ultimately, he reinvented himself as a legitimate global action star for reasons he himself does not entirely understand! Analyze this on your own; it's entertaining!
Bob's book maintains the voice he developed over years of creating comedies despite his travels. Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama, with its hilarious digressions, heartfelt interludes, never-before-seen photos, eccentric characters from his meandering career, and his signature optimistic yet unwavering drive, is a timeless showbiz tale that also poignantly explores what it's like to risk everything you know in order to make a change.
