Here's where else you can catch Odenkirk while he's in the Chicago area: March 2 at 7 p.m.: Bob Odenkirk with Tim Meadows for Chicago Humanities Festival at Music Box Theatre, 3733 N. Southport Ave. March 3 at 12 p.m.: Luncheon conversation with Bob Odenkirk and Mark Caro at University Club of Chicago, 76 E. Monroe St. Email [email protected] for more information. Odenkirk, 59, graduated from Naperville North High School and moved to Chicago in the early 1980s to pursue a career in comedy, according to Chicago Magazine. He honed his craft at Second City before getting hired to write for Saturday Night Live. The comedian gained popularity performing sketch comedy with David Cross on "Mr. Show." Just over a decade after filming his last Mr. Show episode, Odenkirk was cast as attorney Saul Goodman in the AMC series "Breaking Bad." The somewhat dramatic turn gained Odenkirk newfound recognition, and he was cast in the spinoff series "Better Call Saul." In 2021, Odenkirk played the lead role in the action film "Nobody." "Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama" is the third book from Odenkirk, who previously co-wrote "Hollywood Said No!" and penned "A Load of Hooey!" Odenkirk's upcoming memoir is likely to have nods to Naperville and Chicago therein. According to "Publisher's Weekly," Odenkirk writes that Chicago's wind is "cold enough to hurt your face and your feelings." We're not going to argue with that.
