New Bob Odenkirk online series launches on Adult Swim
Bob Odenkirk, the "Mr. Show" co-creator most recently known for his role as Saul on "Breaking Bad," is the centerpiece of a new Web short that premiered on AdultSwim.com today, "Let's Do This."
Odenkirk plays Cal Mackenzie-Goldberg, a has-been/never-was movie mogul trying to rebuild his pseudo-empire.
“In 'Mr. Show,' 'Larry Sanders' and other cult hit shows I've played many a funny sleazeball, I've impersonated the great Robert Evans, and it's all been building to this," Odenkirk said. "Cal MacKenzie-Goldberg and his come-from-behind underdog gang of sweet losers somehow find a way to succeed, even if they end up getting paid in yams.”
One possible film idea mentioned in the episode: "'Ex-Terminator' - it's about a terminator, he retires about his job as a terminator and then becomes an exterminator."
Odenkirk, Jim Freeman and Brian Jarvis created "Let's Do This," which co-stars Lauren Lapkus, Jerry Minor and Brian Posehn, with guests including Natasha Legerro, Paul Rust, John Ennis, Jill Bartlett, Jim Freeman, Brian Jarvis, Andre Hyland, Bruce Green, and Fortune Feimster.







Variety's Team TV -- Cynthia Littleton, Stu Levine, Jon Weisman, Andrew Wallenstein and A.J. Marechal -- provides a roundup of stories big and small, as well as opinions and analysis from across the TV dial.
