“I asked Bryan on his birthday if he would be our baby’s godfather. He said no. He’s very busy,” Paul smirked. “No, he was very excited, very honored. I love the man to death. He’s one of my best friends in the world, and so it was just a no-brainer.”
He also told Fallon it was a thrill to go back in time with the characters for Better Call Saul. “It was nice to zip on the skin of Pinkman again, you know?” Paul mused. “It was strange. It was a lot of the same crew from ‘Breaking Bad’ is working on ‘Better Call Saul’ so it was just nice to be reunited with this beautiful group of people out in New Mexico.”
Not too long ago, Better Call Saul co-creator Peter Gould told fans that there might be a crossover with Walter White and Jesse in that series. “I don’t want to spoil things for the audience, but I will say the first question we had when we started the show was, ‘Are we gonna see Walt and Jesse on the show?’ Instead of evading, I’ll just say yeah,” Gould explained during the PaleyFest panel. “How or the circumstances or anything, you’ll just have to discover that for yourself, but I have to say that’s one of many things that I think you’ll discover this season.”
Here’s the synopsis for Better Call Saul Season 6: “Better Call Saul‘s final season concludes the complicated journey and transformation of its compromised hero, Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk), into criminal lawyer Saul Goodman,” reads the synopsis via AMC. “From the cartel to the courthouse, from Albuquerque to Omaha, season six tracks Jimmy, Saul and Gene as well as Jimmy’s complex relationship with Kim (Rhea Seehorn), who is in the midst of her own existential crisis. Meanwhile, Mike (Jonathan Banks), Gus (Giancarlo Esposito), Nacho (Michael Mando) and Lalo (Tony Dalton) are locked into a game of cat and mouse with mortal stakes.”
