Bob Odenkirk gives quick Twitter update: “I am doing great”
It’s been a bit more than a week since Bob Odenkirk collapsed on the set of Better Call Saul, suffering what he would later describe on social media as “a small heart attack.” Odenkirk’s health issues triggered a mass outpouring of support for the Mr. Show legend, as fans, friends, and co-workers all effused to the effect that the world is, in fact, better with Bob Odenkirk in it.
Odenkirk has now once again responded to said explosion of support, posting a small update on Twitter last night in which he informed his many well wishers that he’s “doing great.” He also gently mocked the sheer amount of praise he’s been getting since his collapse, calling it “my very own ‘It’s a wonderful life’ week of people insisting I make the world slightly better” and asking all involved to “keep expectations reasonable.” (This seems unlikely, though, given how strongly, and sadly, so many people have reacted to the concept of an Odenkirk-less existence.)
Odenkirk was filming on the sixth and final season of Better Call Saul when he collapsed; the season is expected to air some time in 2022, although it’s not clear if Odenkirk’s recent health issues might potentially impact exactly when it arrives. (The hope, obviously, being that he and the production will wait until he’s fully healthy and recovered to re-commence; he previously noted that AMC has been extremely supportive in the wake of the emergency.) He’s been having a banner year in any case, having starred in the well-received action-thriller Nobody—i.e., “What if Bob Odenkirk was John Wick?”—as well as in a standout I Think You Should Leave sketch that’s only gotten more strangely poignant in the wake of his heart attack. (Fingers crossed for many more triples, of whatever classic cars Odenkirk wants, for many years ahead.)
Bob Odenkirk receives well wishes from ‘Breaking Bad’ co-stars
“Breaking Bad” ran for five seasons between 2008 and 2013 and saw Cranston’s Walter White and Paul’s Jesse Pinkman initially acquire the services of criminal defense attorney Saul Goodman, played by Odenkirk, to help them launder their money.
Odenkirk’s “Better Call Saul,” currently in production for its sixth and final season, serves as a prequel to the show and sees him in the titular role.
In a statement, the Odenkirks thanked medical staff for looking after the actor and fans for their well wishes.
News of Odenkirk’s condition also prompted messages of support from his “Better Call Saul” co-stars.
Michael McKean, who plays his brother, Chuck, in the series, was one of many wishing the actor well on social media. “Sending huge love to our @mrbobodenkirk. You got this, brother,” McKean tweeted.
For his role as Saul Goodman, Odenkirk has been nominated for four Golden Globe Awards and four Primetime Emmy Awards.
Bryan Cranston says Bob Odenkirk is ‘receiving the medical attention he needs’ after collapsing on set

“My friend, Bob Odenkirk collapsed last night on the set of Better Call Saul. He is in the hospital in Albuquerque and receiving the medical attention he needs but his condition is not known to the public as yet. Please take a moment in your day today to think about him and send positive thoughts and prayers his way, thank you,” the “Breaking Bad” star concluded.
Odenkirk collapsed on the show’s New Mexico set and had to be hospitalized.
