You're 100% right, but sadly Comedy will never been seen as "high art". One of the core tenants of comedy is lampooning and satire of "High Art", so by its very nature people want to seperate it. It's like a "Lock and Key". One is pointless without the other, but you wouldn't call the Key PART of a Lock.

There’s one Hal moment that always stood out for me. The one where he’s in the boy’s room. He’s sitting there having a real fatherly moment while he’s caressing supposedly Malcom’s head which was a monster mask. And Reese’s head which was a balloon with a smiley face drawn over it. (I’m smirking like an idiot as I type this) Anyway he leans in to kiss Reese goodnight but the balloon explodes in his face causing him to freak out. All the while this wakes up Dewey, as he looks over to see the monster mask looking dead back at him. Dewey starts screaming which causes this domino effect of comedic writing. Which in turn causes Hal to scream even louder and more frantic 😂😂😂

Breaking Bad is a timeless series, no doubt. And it's always top 3 all time with TV-critics. But I believe the main reason it's still being talked about is because Better Call Saul is a favorite with the TV critics these days. But for the rest of the world, instead of BCS actually hooking people on it's own, it just makes people go back to Breaking Bad.

The elevator synopsis I heard of BB was “the dad from Malcolm in the middle plays a chemistry teacher that discovers he has cancer and starts cooking meth to leave money behind.” One aspect of WW I found on rewatching is he was always difficult to work with and a very insecure narcissist. It’s why he taught a high school chemistry. He can’t deal with equals.

I was pretty young, about Malcolm's age maybe younger, when the show was out and I watched it religiously, all my friends at school had a favorite kid and whenever anyone asked me my favorite character it was hal all the way lol. Now I'm watching the show with my kids and still I maintain he's the best, all thanks to Cranston. Legend.

Since we know they have cameras set up in the studio, it would be so cool for Conan and team to upload the full video podcast on UKposts! I love listening to the podcast on Apple podcast, however seeing the guests and hosts is always a fun treat!

This man is one of the greats. Hal was such as amazing character but to then do breaking bad, it’s just on another level! I’ve seen breaking bad 3 times now and like Conan said, you watch is again and still surprised what happens, even though you know what happens.

8:58 I've been rewatching Breaking Bad and I feel the same way. It's like it seems impossible that a certain twist could ever happen, but then events suddenly lead things that way in a very organic way that never seems forced.

The character of Hal was a key part of the DNA of Walter's early character I think, because WW was driven above all by humiliation and shame, and Hal was self-humiliation personified. If viewers had that in mind when they saw him, it'd make that turn, where WW starts flipping his shame into anger and power-lust, cut that much harder. I think that was why Vince thought of him.

"How long has it been?" / "I dunno" - right after Bryan goes on about the importance of writers, and he just drops that off the cuff. I don't disagree with him, writers don't get nearly the credit they deserve, but being able to drop a joke like that with perfect timing is utterly amazing and talent you cannot dismiss.

Malcolm in the Middle needs to come back to Netflix. They always take off the shows worth watching and we get stuck with Netflix originals that I will never, ever watch.

I remember Bryan Cranston receiving a compliment from Sir Anthony Hopkins for his performance in BB and it stuck with me because it describes the series wonderfully. I can’t quote it perfectly, but it was along the lines of “I loved the role so much because it’s the best modern interpretation of a Greek tragedy,” SAH.

Fantastic and super insightful, laidback interview. It’s what Conan does best when it comes to his job, though he is multi talented and great all around, interviewing is definitely his forte. And it helps tremendously too, of course, that Bryan Cranston is an excellent speaker and quite knowledgeable person who is dedicated 100% to his craft and just has a great way of conveying his thoughts and emotions, especially in these types of public scenarios in front of a camera… 👌🏼

I am pleasantly surprised how deep and appreciative Conan talks here. I'm German and therefore don't necessarily watch a lot of Late Night With Conan O'Brien, but in the show, Conan seems to have a tighter script and a lot less time, leading to often superficial and "sensational" conversations. I adore how slow and unpretentious this dialogue is.

These full of life performances in Malcolm in the middle have been brilliant to see. So much energy, just inspiring. And quite a brave approach for an actor, considering the risk of getting reduced to that special character. Making typical human flaws lovable is a quality thats far beyond laughing at someone. When you see something that exaggerated and still come to the point where you think, "yeah, there´s a little Hal in each of us", cause you gotta like this character, its not only superfunny, its delivering on many layers and provides an unspoken friendly comment on human nature and the ways you might look at it. Giving that complexity to it, combined with a very unique kind of acting and sweating out he had fun to do it in every minute, makes it outstanding for me and a joy to watch.

Something I always loved about Breaking Bad, but I've never been completely sure was intentional, was that Walter always seemed like he was putting on a facade, because he knew that was the only way he could survive in this business. I always felt like there were flecks of "I don't belong in this lifestyle" peeking through the cracks of every performance he gave in that show as Heisenberg. I dunno if I'm imagining it, or if Bryan is just that damn good.

7:38 I think, the reason why the first episode of BB got me instantly hooked was exactly because it foreshadowed this extreme character arc. It was obvious from the start and made me super curious and excited about how Bryan Cranston would pull that transformation off. Going basicly from Hal to Scarface withtin a few seasons. Best thing ever!

Hal was always my favorite in Malcolm in the Middle, and its what made me watch Breaking Bad, because I hadn't seen him in anything since Malcolm, and I just was blown away with just how well he did as Walter White, he has the range to rival even Robin Williams, which is saying a lot, I cannot think of greater examples of individuals with such a range
