At the Hollywood Critics Association TV Awards on Saturday, Odenkirk shared his plans for the last day of the airing of the series to People. The actor revealed that the ensemble has decided to make it an event and gather around to send off the series, “We’re going to get together as a cast at somebody’s house and watch the episode. And then we’re going to cry.”
Meanwhile, the 59-year-old actor shared that the chemistry and bond between the cast members have what made the series so successful, “Rhea Seehorn, Michael McKean, Patrick Fabian, Michael Mando: This core group of actors are the best friends.” He went on to add on an emotional note, “We’re going to miss each other awfully.” He also noted the “unbelievable joy” he felt while working with the legend Carol Burnett on the last season of the show as Burnett joined the series as a guest character in the final season, “She’s got chops in every direction, obviously.” He continued gushing over the actress, “And she’s gotten to show them yet again on Better Call Saul with her drama. And she’s so heartbreaking. She’s beautiful and heartbreaking and true and deep and fun and fun to be around. It was one of the heights of my career to be with her.”
