Given that the name of his recently released memoir is Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama, Bob Odenkirk has spent his most recent years becoming an iconic dramatic actor (and a bit of a badass in Nobody) in stark contrast in his days making his mark with Mr. Show. That said, Odenkirk still makes time for bits including some pretty great cameos in I Think You Should Leave.
Still, Odenkirk hasn’t had top billing for a comedy series since 2015’s With Bob and David, a long-awaited follow-up to Mr. Show. This AMC adaptation of a Richard Russo novel, Lucky Hank, will be a return to leading comedy role, but one that’s also informed by Bob’s critically acclaimed years on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. It’ll be hysterical as you can see in the first official trailer for Lucky Hank here, but in a much more grounded way than Odenkirk’s sketch comedy days.
Looks like we’ll all have to find a way to get AMC+ access starting Sun. Mar. 19th.
