Breaking Bad‘s Bryan Cranston hosts tonight’s Saturday Night Live, along with musical guest Kanye West. That’s the three-time Emmy winner to your right, looking shady in this week’s promos because Bill Hader won’t stop asking him for meth.
What do you want to see from Cranston tonight? I’m holding out hope for an evil dentist sketch featuring Tim Whatley…who converted to Judaism just for the jokes! Or at the very least, a callback to his most memorable TV role: Witch Lawyer in an episode of Sabrina, The Teenage Witch called “Troll Bride.” IMDB don’t lie!
Discuss tonight’s SNL here, then come back tomorrow for EW.com’s react! (UPDATE: Click over now to see Adam Markovitz’s recap of Bryan Cranston on Saturday Night Live.)

I’m very excited! I remember when I first started watching Breaking Bad, I thought, “Really? I’m supposed to buy the dad from Malcolm in the Middle in this role??” but now I can’t imagine him any other way. I know he can hold his own in comedy and is VERY funny. I love the Funny or Die sketch with Bryan as a man who can’t smell, but who can… taste smells.
I loved that sketch too! How has he not hosted SNL before now?
I’m not a Kanye fan, but folks like you, who got KKK blood poisoning their veins, have to diminish the fun some of us have laughing at Kanye. Thanks for ruining my fun with your classless, and ignorant bs.
When Kanye was on I took a big dump and it was the same color, but didn’t stink as much!!!
Racist much?
I TOTALLY remember him as “Witch Lawyer”!
Also, for a really long time I couldn’t look at him without getting George’s version of “Everybody’s Talkin” (“Just sitting in Jon Voight’s car”) stuck in my head.
Love BC but not enough to suffer through SNL!
So excited for this.
I’m not a Breaking Bad fan, but I will be watching this episode because good old, crazy Kanye West will be the musical guest!
“Kanye West the musical guest”- that rhymes!!
Kayne is a d-bag, doesn’t rhyme, but still true
Taylor, don’t you have a song about being a fairy tale princess to write?
More excited for Emma Stone she is my new obsession she is sooo cute and funny!
What does she have to do with Bryan Cranston on SNL?
I think she’s referring to Emma Stone’s upcoming hosting stint on SNL on October 23rd.
Annie, I don’t think you’ve been watching much SNL lately, they don’t really do those kinds of sketches.
Is George W. Bush hosting this season? He’s a clown.
Maybe a Obama could host. He doesn’t seem to care if he makes a fool of himself or not. Bush maybe a clown but Obama is dangerous!!!!
Yeah because Obama just starts wars all over for oil or his father’s reputation.
No because Obama lack of leadership and ego is make the US a weak country that will bankrupt its own people and if any one calls him out on it they are called a racist. I hope in November the liberals finally learn what unemployment is all about.
Well I sure hope the LaKeesha’s of the world get good jobs in Republican’s office’s or doing whatever else it is they do.
@eddiehaskell that was lol but Condoleezza got a job so you never know about LaKeesha (I’m lmao even as I type the name).
La Keesha, the economy was screwed long before Obama took over. That was Bush and his republican buddies. Let’s not forget that. At least Obama tries to do something for the people. Oh yeah, and Kanye was amazing!
I couldn’t care less.
Look, George, I realized he crushed your dream of owning Jon Voight (the actor)’s car, but you’ve got to let it go.
I will take a big dump during Kanye’s first song, and then pee during his second. I hate, hate, hate, hate Kayne West. I hope he meets up with his mother in hell real soon!!!!!!
Stay classy La Keesha.
keep trollin’, trollin’, trollin’
Kanye West is real ghetto. He is such a loser!!!
Definitely looking forward to this.
When it was announced he was hosting I slapped myself in the forehead with my palm for not thinking about him whenever this site does one of those “Who should host SNL?” items. He’s a great actor, and he’s funny…makes all the sense in the world.
On the flip side, it might be interesting to come up with a list of people who probably won’t be hosting SNL anytime soon. My #1 pick: Elisabeth Moss (AWWWKKK-WAAARRRD.)
(whoops, sorry for he double post.)
*the. (FAIL)
In “Power”, Kanye says “F%*k SNL and the whole cast”. Awkward…
No and no…and no
Wow Paul Brittain looks like James Franco playing Johnny Depp.
I kept looking at him wondering if it was Paul or if it was someone like James Franco doing a guest spot. I kept staring intently, that sketch was great.
That was a good sketch- watch Tim Burton actually make a film of “Goodnight Moon” (with Helena as the moon!)
