Rhea Seehorn on ‘Better Call Saul’ and Kim Wexler’s Fate

Rhea Seehorn may be best known for playing the very serious Kim Wexler opposite Bob Odenkirk on ‘Better Call Saul,’ which premiered its highly anticipated final season this week. But for the first 15 years or so of her acting career, she couldn’t break out of the “sitcom” box. In this episode, the actress opens up about getting “pigeonholed” in the comedy world, fighting to get the role that transformed her career, and then proving that she can still be hilarious by going toe-to-toe with Julia Louis-Dreyfus on ‘Veep.’ Plus, Seehorn teases season six of ‘Better Call Saul,’ including what it’s been like to have Bob Odenkirk back on set after his heart attack, how she feels about Tony Dalton’s Lalo surviving last season’s finale and what those finger guns were all about.  Vote for ‘The Last Laugh’ at The Webby Awards Follow Rhea Seehorn on Twitter @rheaseehorn and Instagram @rheaseehornFollow Matt Wilstein on Twitter @mattwilsteinFollow The Last Laugh on Instagram @lastlaughpod This episode was originally published on October 1st, 2021. Highlights from this episode and others at The Daily Beast Hosted on Acast.
