In a world where reality TV reigns supreme, there's one man who can take any show and turn it into a work of art. And that man is Bryan Cranston. Yes, the same guy who made meth-cooking look sexy on Breaking Bad. This time, he's taking on Vanderpump Rules and giving us a performance that will leave you gasping for air.
Despite not knowing what the heck he's doing, Cranston delivers a monologue that would put Shakespeare to shame. "Is it alright if I don't know what I'm doing?" he asks before launching into his impersonation of Ariana Madix. And boy, does he nail it. With sassiness levels off the charts, Cranston delivers lines like "Oh now, now, you got a little bit of money, a little bar, a little band, and this girl is going to act enamored with you? Because that's what you want. You want someone to just gas you up. It's a performance that will leave you in awe. And it's not just because of Cranston's talent. It's also because he's never even seen the show! Who needs research when you've got acting chops like that?
After years of dominating the entertainment industry, he's ready to hit pause and focus on his personal life. "I want to change the paradigm once again," he said. "For the last 24 years, Robin has led her life holding onto my tail. She’s been the plus one, she’s been the wife of a celebrity. She deserves it.” And while he's not retiring just yet, he does plan to take a break in 2026. "I’m not even sure what ‘pausing’ means entirely, but at this moment, I think it means that by taking a year off it will provide several things." We can only imagine what kind of shenanigans Cranston will get up to during his hiatus. Maybe he'll finally binge-watch Vanderpump Rules and give us another epic performance. One can only hope.

In the meantime, we'll just have to settle for seeing him in Wes Anderson's Asteroid City. But let's be real, that movie has nothing on Cranston's Vanderpump Rules monologue (JK!).
