Jimmy Fallon 'Breaking Bad' Parody Features Hilarious Cameos From Stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul [VIDEO]
If you enjoyed Jimmy Fallon's "Downton Abbey" and "Game of Thrones" parodies, then you'll have to check out the comedian's latest parody of AMC's hugely popular "Breaking Bad." (Warning: may contain spoilers if you don't watch "Breaking Bad." And if you don't, shame on you).
"Joking Bad" aired on Wednesday, getting non-stop laughs from the audience. The parody that spoofs the meth-selling drama, which is in its final season, shows that jokes are not a laughing matter. In other words, the "Late Night" host gets into the illegal joke-selling business, making a lot of money and a lot of enemies along the way. Fallon plays "Falsonberg," who is based off of Walter White's "Heisenberg" (Bryan Cranston), while announcer Steve Higgins portrays a role similar to Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul).
"Late Night" band The Roots show up in the infamous "Breaking Bad" RV to help Fallon out, while head writer A.D. Miles takes on the role of Hank (Dean Norris), who is catching on to Fallon's "illegal" activities.
The parody features multiple cameos, including appearances from "Breaking Bad" stars Aaron Paul, Bryan Cranston and Bob Odenkirk as Saul, as well as comedian Colin Quinn and "Tonight Show" host Jay Leno. AMC recently announced that a "Breaking Bad" spin-off about Odenkirk's Saul (tentatively titled "Better Call Saul") is in the works, serving as a prequel to the events of the current show. There are only three episodes left of "Breaking Bad," with the series finale airing Sept. 29.
Fallon is set to replace Jay Leno as "The Tonight Show" host in six months, while SNL cast member Seth Meyers is set to take over Fallon's role as the new "Late Night" host.
Check out "Joking Bad" below and tell us what you think. Personally, I still enjoy Fallon's Downton Abbey parodies "Downton Sixbey" the best. You can view "Downton Sixbey" as well as "Game of Desks" on the "Late Night" YouTube channel.
