00:00 I grew up in Albuquerque. Was there any cool places, anything that you liked being there?

00:06 Like how was it? Because it's my hometown. So I want to know, how'd you like it?

00:12 Well did you have fun there? Yeah, go and visit your mother once in a while.

00:16 Whether on screen in his Emmy-winning role in Breaking Bad or meeting a fan off screen,

00:26 this man knows how to create a mic drop moment. And thanks to him, we're enjoying a little Dos

00:31 Hombres Mezcal. Bryan Cranston, cheers to you and the end of the strike. Yes, yes, thank you. We have

00:40 an executive producer named John Pasquarello who never lets us drink, but he let us do it because

00:45 you brought it. Well that's lovely of him. And we are grateful. Yes, we have a lot to celebrate.

00:50 We do. A conclusion of a wonderful run and reuniting with your family. Yes. I'm very happy for you.

00:57 You're making the right decision. That makes my heart so happy, especially hearing it from you.

01:00 I'm like, oh hello, the one and only. Thank you. Well let's talk about something that we

01:06 need to celebrate. That clip, eight years ago, and it's still going viral. I gotta know,

01:12 is there anything you want to say to that kid now that he's old enough to enjoy your mezcal?

01:19 I think I owe him a drink at least, don't I? And then I'm looking at the color of my hair

01:24 and how quickly it's gone gray. Look at that. That's when you're rich. Is that why? That's

01:31 rich hair. Oh, that rich. Oh, I see. Nice. Well, speaking of your mezcal, you and Aaron Paul

01:38 actually served up Dos Hombres at Drake's 37th birthday party. Me and Drake actually had the

01:43 same birthday, October 24th. Wow. And I just feel, you know, I'm just like, how did this come about?

01:48 How did you make this happen? Did he call you? Did he personally invite you? Did he slide in

01:53 your DMs? He did. He did a little slide in the DMs and he said, well, there's a great restaurant

02:01 down in Miami run by David Gruttman. And so he called us and said, Drake's birthday is tomorrow

02:09 night. Would you guys like to come? And we thought, we're down there in Miami, yes. So we have to do

02:15 it. So we did. And it was a surprise to Drake. He didn't know. And he turned the corner and saw us

02:21 and I said, sir, can I mix you a drink? And he went, oh, oh, oh, oh. It was fun. And he's a cool

02:29 guy. He was a really fun guy. I'm just like, man, I got to figure out if I can slide into your

02:33 bookings as well because, you know, that is an-- Well, listen, I'm doing weddings and bar mitzvahs

02:39 and things like that. This is what I was hoping. You can hire-- you know, we were on strike for so

02:43 long that I had to get a second job. There you have it. There you go. Well, you'll also be hosting

02:48 other things. You'll be doing quite some-- a few things. You're actually hosting the Lights Camera

02:52 Annie Up Celebrity Tournament. We want to hear all about this. Who's coming? Give us all the deets.

02:57 OK. Well, this is something I was-- the protracted strikes from the writers and the actors really

03:03 took a toll on our entire community. And all the crews and everybody-- all the men and women that

03:10 we work with all the time. And I was really feeling that. And so I wanted to do something

03:16 that could raise money for the Entertainment Community Fund, which is a great organization

03:22 that doesn't take sides in any dispute. They take-- they stand by your side. They will help

03:28 anyone who has a career in the entertainment industry with basic fundamental things like

03:35 paying for rent or groceries or medical bills or put-- keep the lights on, pay your electric bill.

03:42 So this Sunday, we're having a poker tournament where you can come play poker with a bunch of

03:48 celebrities. I'm going to be playing, Jon Hamm, Annette Bening, Andy Garcia will be there.

03:55 A list.

03:56 Jason Alexander, you know. I mean, it's great. And if you want to play, we still have

04:04 some seats available. And you can go to the entertainmentcommunity.org/poker2023.

04:12 Leave your credit card here. I will be doing it.

04:13 There you go.

04:14 In honor of your upcoming tournament, we just want to see how good you are at bluffing.

04:19 Brian, get ready to show us your poker face. Okay, explain to him what's about to happen.

04:26 Brian, you're going to give us facts about yourself. And Justin and I have to guess

04:29 whether you're saying-- what you're saying is true or false. We're really testing to see--

04:33 You know, just we know you're an amazing actor.

04:35 I got you. Just quote unquote.

04:36 I see.

04:36 But we're going to see if you can convince us.

04:39 Okay. One of my first acting jobs was a commercial for Preparation H.

04:48 I'm going to say that's a bluff.

04:52 I'm going to say that's a bluff, too. I feel like you would have told us that upon walking in.

04:55 No, that's true.

04:58 No.

04:58 Is it really?

04:59 No.

04:59 Yeah.

04:59 No.

05:00 No.

05:00 Oh, my God. I know that man.

05:03 There's no way.

05:04 I know that man.

05:05 I refuse to believe this.

05:07 Look how I've seen this.

05:08 How authoritative I look on that.

05:10 That gives people hope. If you are doing hemorrhoid commercials--

05:13 Now, wait a second.

05:14 You, too, can become--

05:16 I wasn't afflicted with hemorrhoids. I was the expert helping others.

05:21 I was about to say, you're curing hemorrhoids, giving people meth. What's next, brother?

05:24 This is amazing.

05:25 What's next is this one.

05:29 I've never watched the Breaking Bad series finale.

05:32 I'm going to say no. Everyone's seen it.

05:37 I couldn't even watch it, and I'm a fan because I know how hard it was for you because it was hard

05:41 for me.

05:42 Right.

05:43 I'm going to go with true.

05:44 You are wrong.

05:45 You watched it. I'm like, we all watched it.

05:48 Adrian, you're up one.

05:50 You're up one. You're up one. Okay.

05:55 I met my wife while holding her hostage at gunpoint.

05:59 I feel like it's so outrageous. It just might be true.

06:05 Because you know things like this be happening to people.

06:07 She was an actress on the set.

06:09 Yeah, I'm going with that. I'm going with that.

06:10 I'm going to go with that.

06:11 True.

06:12 Yes!

06:13 Oh!

06:14 But you got to explain.

06:15 Okay, that was an episode of an old show called Airwolf, which starred a helicopter.

06:22 And I was one of the bad guys of the week, and this beautiful young woman named Robin was

06:28 the victim of the week. And I was like, "Ah, I'm going to kill her if I don't get the money!

06:32 I'm going to kill her!"

06:33 You're really pretty. Maybe I won't kill her.

06:37 I love it.

06:37 Very well. So that's how we met.

06:40 I love it.

06:40 Can we play that preparation age commercial?

06:42 Oh, it's going to break.

06:43 It's going to break.

06:44 Thank you.

06:44 Thank you so much for being here tonight.

06:46 The Lights, Camera, and EF Celebrity Poker Tournament happens this Sunday at 1 p.m. in LA.
