Jimmy Fallon's Breaking Bad Parody Is Loaded with Inside Jokes
There is a lot to like in Jimmy Fallon's highly anticipated parody of AMC's Breaking Bad, whether you're a fan of Breaking Bad, a fan of Late Night, or just a fan of jokes.
Joking Bad, the third in Fallon's trilogy of TV show parodies (see also: Downton Sixbey and Game of Desks) is his most elaborate yet, spanning nearly 13 minutes, and sending-up nearly every memorable moment of the show's five seasons.
It also features surprise cameos by Breaking Bad stars Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, and Bob Odenkirk, and a punchline appearance by [redacted], who draws his first real laugh in decades.
It's been a great week so far for Breaking Bad-heads, between this parody and the recently announced spinoff series Better Call Saul — a prequel show starring everyone's favorite ambulance chaser Saul Goodman.
