Last year, Bryan Cranston appeared on a talk show hosted by Steven Michael Quezeda. On it, he brought out the Breaking Bad make-up crew and physically changed from the Bryan Cranston we recognize from Malcolm in the Middle to freaking Heisenberg from Breaking Bad. It’s a more striking transformation than you’d think for a guy who just shaves his head and grows a goatee (which is prosthetic in this instance, and apparently, occasionally has been on the show, as well).
Unfortunately, very few people actually saw the transformation (there’s only 4,000 views on YouTube at last count) because who the hell would watch a talk show hosted by Gomie? Who even knew that Gomie had a talk show? Nobody apparently, except Bryan Cranston, who appeared on two of the 12 episodes before the show was pulled. The show was pitched as the “The Tonight Show of Albuquerque, New Mexico,” which is probably all you need to know to understand why it lasted only 12 episodes. I’m sure the Albuquerque cable access channel put up huge ratings, though.
It’s a cool trick, although it seems wasted on Gomie’s show. Still, it’s another reminder of just how great Bryan Cranston is that, in under eight minutes, he can morph from an average looking amiable guy with a sparkling sense of humor into a bald-headed menacing motherf—er. I mean, CLEARLY, Cranston is a nice guy if he made the time to appear on Gomie’s low-rent operation. Twice. Make sure and stick around until the five-and-a-half minute mark to see Cranston make the spiritual transformation into Heisenberg and Gomie demonstrate what an awkward interviewer he is.
Breaking Bad returns on Sunday. If you can’t wait that long, you can watch the first 90 seconds of the premiere episode here. Will Walt Jr. be let in on the secret, as well?

I’m so excited one of my balls just popped.
You forgot to tell everyone to stick around for the 7:10 mark, when the show channels Gale’s shining moment.
Fuck, its only Tuesday.
what shoes does bryan cranston wear in breaking bad?
Walter White wears big boy pants.
Now that Gus is dead where will I go to get chicken slow cooked to perfection? Is there anywhere else that the old ways are still best?
Jack Pirtle’s.
For my money the craziest part of that whole video is the terrible band at the end. Why does what appears to be a public access show have its own 16 piece band. Why does it appear to be led by an account on bass and dude wearing the honey comb cereal mascot as a toupee?
*Accountant on bass.
Be fair. Everybody knows accountants play the best bass.
Its so weir, Cranston does all the talking like if Gomie was the guest
So with Breaking Bad premiering on Sunday and Dark Knight Rises on Friday I may be able to maintain an erection for an entire week.
That talk show reminds me of DeNiro’s talk show from Casino. I half expected Frankie Avalon to come out and talk about his 7 kids.
“I got this great idea, I’ll do a transformation to Walter on live TV… But which show do I take this to? Leno? Nah…. Letterman? No…. Fallon? Maybe, but I could do better…. Oh I know, GOMIE ! YES!”
I want to punch that Gomie douchebag for ruining what should have been an epic moment in television history.
Well that’s the spin-off sorted, “in the kitchen with Walter White” Light chat show with cookery tips/ diabolical schemes. Ron Howard’s attached to direct!
This show is called the After After Party with Steven Michael Quezada. It actually airs on a legit station (one that I work at.) It’s like a paid program, so it’s not cancelled (I think they make their money back on the ads in the show), and compared to the variety of local stuff we aired over the years, they’ve managed to actually put new content forth week to week. That being said, it is a little low-end. But I view it as Bryan Cranston being a nice guy to a co-worker, which should just raise his esteem in everyone’s eyes.
Gomez Tonight.
Oh man Breaking Bad is easily the best show on television. Can’t wait for the season continuation, I’ve mostly just been keeping up with [breakingbadcomics.blogspot.com] to pass the time for my Breaking Bad fix.
