Allow Bryan Cranston to show you his hats in this mildly unhinged Jimmy Fallon song

Guess which is his favorite. (It's not the Heisenberg.)

Allow Bryan Cranston to show you his hats in this mildly unhinged Jimmy Fallon song
Watch Next

Bryan Cranston. Is a man. Of many hats.

Sure, we all know the Heisenberg pork pie chapeau (and it makes an appearance here). But before this mildly unhinged Fallon segment who knew Cranston could rock a sailor's cap, a little red bonnet, or a sweeping fuchsia fascinator while on the toilet with such dead-eyed, menacing panache? Truly, he has the range, and I am just crazed enough after months in my house that it feels like the funniest thing I've seen all week.

I desperately want to have been in the Zoom pitch meeting where some exhausted writer went "He wore that hat in Breaking Bad, right? Can we write a weird banger and just stick him and Jimmy in a bunch of random crap from the hat closet then cut it together like a TikTok ripoff?"

Honestly, I think I'll be a little sad when the late night shows go back to wrangling their guests into slickly produced studio stunt segments. Yes, it'll be a sign of life returning to a kind of normal — but disheveled celebrities giving off this specific kind of chaotic broke community-access sketch show energy is one thing I'll miss.
