TV Reporter Has No Idea He’s Interviewing a Star of FX Show He’s Covering

Pro-tip: If you’re going to cover the filming of a high-profile TV series in your hometown, you might want to do some research on one of the show’s famous recurring cast members. Or maybe not; because this makes for some pretty special video.

Comedian/actor Bob Odenkirk was on his way to lunch in Calgary during a break from shooting FX’s dark comedy Fargo, when Global News reporter Gil Tucker stopped him to ask questions.

“What do you see over here, eh?” Tucker asked Odenkirk, who coolly responded, “We’re shooting the show.”

“You working with them?” Tucker inquired.

“Oh, yeah, I’m an actor,” Odenkirk said, continuing to subtly mimic a Canadian accent.

The conversation continued on for a few minutes, before Odenkirk said he had to get lunch and turned to leave.

“Oh, hey, what’s your name?” Tucker asked, as is standard procedure for man-on-street interviews.

“Bob.”
