Wonderful! Is Bob Odenkirk the nicest guy in Hollywood? He just might be. This memoir is exactly what it says it's about: a lot of comedy and some drama. If he hadn't narrated it himself, I'm not sure I would have listened to it. He talks about growing up in Illinois, his initial interest in comedy, the years he spent writing for all kinds of live comedy shows (SNL, The Ben Stiller Show and more) and the scripted shows in which be also acted. It becomes very obvious very quickly that his pride and joy is "Mr. Show" which I just started watching; it's really funny. He spends a lot of time talking about many of these skits. If you're reading/ listening to this just to hear about "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul", he does talk about his experience with these shows close to the end, but not in great detail. The man is so humble and credits everyone else for his success. It was a fun journey to take with him.
