Bob Odenkirk Collapses on Set -- Rushed to Hospital

Garthgou81 · July 2021

I read about this last night, so I am surprised I didn't see it on here. No real details as of yet:

"Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk collapsed on the show’s New Mexico set on Tuesday, Deadline has confirmed. The 58-year-old Odenkirk fell to the ground and was rushed to the hospital, where he remains. His condition is unknown.

Production on the sixth and final season of Better Call Saul was underway in New Mexico, after its scheduled start in March. What Odenkirk’s condition means for the show is an open question. Reps for Sony Pictures Television, which produces the series, had no comment.

AMC Networks chief operating officer Ed Carroll said early this year that the popular series likely would return in the first quarter of 2022 after Covid-related delays.

Show creator Vince Gilligan just re-upped his overall deal with Sony Pictures Television this month.

Better Call Saul has received 40 Primetime Emmy nominations to date, winning two awards for the “Employee Training” shortform video. The series is not eligible for the Emmys this year but is expected to come back in a big way next year for its final installment. The prequel also has earned four PGA Award Nominations so far, a DGA Award nomination, 15 WGA Award nominations and two wins and a Peabody Award"

Totally sucks, hope to hear good news soon. I had posted it on Discord, thought that might be a good place for breaking news. But stuff seems to get buried quickly with new posts, so who knows.

His son Nate updated Twitter today. I think the world all breathed a collective sigh of relief.

I audibly gasped earlier when I came to the message board and saw that the RIP in 2021 thread was on the front page.

I will also say, that Odenkirk was not the one I was concerned about with this filming schedule. Jonathan Banks looks older than dirt, and I was really worried about his health in filming in a Covid world. After Nobody (the movie), I didn't think anything could impact Mr. Odenkirk.

Get well soon, Bob. When you love Bob so much that 3 wives have to tell 3 dudes to chill the hell out on Mr. Show almost every hang out.

TURN OFF THE TV, DICKWEED!

Glad to hear the update that he's going to be okay. Definitely had a big stomach drop when I read that news yesterday.
