Actor reacts He was quoted saying, “It makes me feel like a part of history that I didn’t think I was any part of, but I’m an American. I’m not a monarchist. I don’t believe in that.” He added, “You know, I feel like it’s a little twisted. I understand why society built itself around monarchs and leaders and they passed them down through generations. I understand that goes through every society, every civilisation. But I think that we’ve gotten to a better place with democracy, and we should keep going down that road.” Bob Odenkirk was feted as 2023 Man of the Year by Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals, which included a roast during which he donned a pink dress over his clothes.

It’s a crazy honor.” Other acting credits include “Nobody,” “Mr. Show with Bob and David” and “Girlfriend’s Day.” He received two Emmy Awards for his comedic writing for “Saturday Night Live” in 1989 and for “The Ben Stiller Show” in 1993.
