After tonight's episode of The Walking Dead, many viewers left their television sets tuned to AMC so that they could watch Talking Dead host Chris Hardwick and his guests — Karl Mackinen, Scott Gimple, Lennie James, and Michael Rooker — discuss everything that happened and preview what's to come.
It was a pretty standard episode for the most part, but all that changed when Hardwick went to take a question from a fan that had called in. Hardwick asked for the caller's name before getting to their question and was shocked to learn that the mysterious Bob from Chattanooga was the one on the phone.
As a quick reminder, Bob from Chattanooga called the show years ago and delivered a very strange prophecy that perplexed the host and viewers at home. "The hour is coming; the hour is coming," Bob said in March 2013. "All that are in the graves shall hear his voice. There seems to be no room..." The call ended before Bob could finish, appearing as though he was cut off; however, Hardwick insisted Bob hung up.
So on tonight's episode, after Bob identified himself, Hardwick instantly asked: "Wait. What?! Are you like Season 2 Talking Dead Bob from Chattanooga who called and like said the apocalypse was coming?"
"Yeah," the caller confirmed, "and you jerks better not hang up on me this time."
"Oh my god, I've missed you so much!" Hardwick excitedly shouted. "Bob! Everyone wants to know, what's your deal man?"
After a light chuckle, Bob replied, "I don't know, man. I kind of froze up the last time."
Hardwick told Bob that he was glad that he called back and is doing fine and well. Once that was all out of the way, Bob finally got to his question. He asked Gimple, "So what stops Morgan from taking his life there at the end?"
