Monday Water Cooler Conversation: Bryan Cranston Tears Up SNL

By Chuck Sudo in Miscellaneous on Oct 4, 2010 7:00PM

Saturday night saw a solid episode of "Saturday Night Live" with its opening skit skewering Rahm Emanuel, musical guest Kanye West and a spirited turn as host from "Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston, who seemed to be channeling at times the desperation of his Walter White character from that show and his idiot dad character from "Malcolm in the Middle."

This was our personal favorite sketch of the night: a kids game show with Cranston playing the host, a cross between Bert Convy and a very inappropriate Richard Dawson.
