Bob Odenkirk Is Back On The Set Of “Better Call Saul”
Today in totally happy/non-cynical news, Bob Odenkirk is back on the set of Better Call Saul! 58-year-old Bob’s return to work comes six weeks after he suffered a mild heart attack while shooting the show’s sixth season in New Mexico. This morning he tweeted a photo of himself getting his makeup done, and wrote,“Back to work on Better Call Saul! So happy to be here and living this specific life surrounded by such good people.” D’awwww. I don’t even watch that show and his tweet gave me heart feelings. Such is the power of a non-asshole man in Hollywood.

Store shelves everywhere were empty of prayer candles yesterday from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul fans (SAULivators?) buying them up after hearing the news that Saul himself Bob Odenkirk collapsed on set and was laid up in a hospital bed in New Mexico. Bob’s situation slid into “Shit Is Serious” territory when his Breaking Bad co-star Bryan Cranston told everyone to please put their praying hands together for Bob or send some healing thoughts his way. Well, after Bob’s fans pulled some “Better Call God” moves and furiously refreshed Twitter for an update, his son, Nate Odenkirk, delivered some good news. Bob’s going to be okay! Aaaand, exhale.
