Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk collapsed on the show’s New Mexico set on Tuesday and had to be hospitalised. Better Call Saul, the spin-off prequel to Breaking Bad, has been shooting its sixth and final season, which is set to air on AMC and Netflix next year. Odenkirk has been nominated for four Emmys for playing the title character, a down-on-his-luck lawyer named Jimmy McGill who becomes increasingly corrupt and adopts the pseudonym Saul Goodman. During the Mr Show years, Odenkirk once wrote a song called Mouthful of Sores, inspired by an illness that left him bed-bound with stress. Odenkirk has won two Emmys, for his writing on The Ben Stiller Show and on Saturday Night Live.
