How do you get people to watch your Emmy Award show? Bring Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul back together for a hilarious comedy sketch – Barely Legal Pawn.
The last episode of the hugely popular Breaking Bad series was a long 11 months ago and hope is diminishing that we’ll ever see Bryan and Aaron return to their beloved Breaking Bad roles. NBC came up with the bright idea of a faster reunion. With the 2014 Emmy’s just 4 days away they’ve cooked up a brilliant sketch also starring Veep’s Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
The three do a brilliant spoof on those pawn-show reality shows to promote the Emmy’s, sponsored by Audi. The 6-minute sketch sees Julia in character as herself wanting to pawn one of her past ‘Seinfeld’ Emmys and trying to negotiate with the dodgy pawn shop owners – Bryan and Paul – for a good price. Telling you any more of the story would be a spoiler!
The 66th Primetime Emmy Awards are a ceremony held to honour the best in US prime time television from June 1, 2013 until May 31, 2014, as chosen by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. To see the Nominees visit the Emmy website.
The 2014 Emmy Awards will air on NBC this Monday 25 August, hosted by Seth Meyers. Normally, the awards show broadcasts on a Sunday, but Monday was chosen this year so that there was no conflict with the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards.
