The Saturday Night Live fame, Bob Odenkirk, recently appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show on April 25. The Better Call Saul star reflected on his years on the comedy show and revealed a sketch that did not make it to the screens.

Sharing details on the skit, Bob shared that it was about a hot dog vendor in New York and his trainee. The vendor said to his trainee, "Okay, you take the next guy." The next customer to arrive asked for a hot dog with mustard and the trainee handed it to him.
But as soon as the customer walked away, Jon Lovitz went, "What the hell do you think you're doing? That's not how it's done." Bob explained that what Jon insisted on there was that the task was harder than it was.
"Jon loved it and I loved it and it killed at read-through," Bob reminisced.
He shared that 30 years later, Jon still reminded him of it, and every time he saw the latter, he said he wanted to do it. Bob remained hopeful about it happening one day. Looking back at his days on Saturday Night Live, the actor also shared how difficult it was to be a staff writer for the show.
He said that it was "hard" to write the coveted comedy reality show. He stated that he remembered himself at 26 years old thinking that he did not have any more ideas left. He added that he was also "exhausted" and that by Christmas, they had done around 11 shows, and it felt like they had nothing left in their brains.
