I can’t believe they managed to get Kevin Costner on this show

Bob Odenkirk is an absolute masterpiece/masterclass of a comedic & dramatic actor!

When I was in college a friend told me her cousin just got a job writing for Saturday Night Live. I asked her, "What's his name?" She said, "Bob Odenkirk." I said, "Bob Odenkirk? I'll remember that name." And here we are today.

As someone who grew up listening to Steve Dahl on WCKG in the 90s/00s it's always fascinating to revisit the legendary shitshow that was Disco Demolition. Such a quintessentially Chicago event: a bullheaded half-joke with critically short-sighted planning that meets overwhelming public exuberance then ends with police violence and the White Sox getting hosed.

The best of Bob Odenkirk. *plays literally anything Bob has ever done* Yup, that checks out.

Every one needs a friend like Saul Goodman who saves our asses in tough situations

What many don't realize is that this event was what primarily pushed disco underground and helped give birth to Chicago house music in 1983. Disco music didn't stop, but the term 'disco' disappeared overnight, and some radio stations with primarily Caucasian listeners stopped playing it, but stations with primarily Black audiences were still playing this style of music, only now it was referred to as 'soul'. And disco-style music was still being played in underground dance clubs (no longer called 'discos,' btw...) A lot of original Chicago house music was produced from reimagined disco tracks and baselines.

It is so special to have Bob Odenkirk narrate the Disco Demolition segment. As a 50 year Chicagoan, I too was a HUGE Steve Dahl fan, who got up on stage with my Beatle tribute band British Export at Sox Fest and sang.

Crazy how a dude with triples of a nova, triples of a roadrunner, and triples of a barracuda, still has time to do this show.

Love how Dave Grohl is just incidentally here as some low-key Elvis hanger-on

Jimmy McGill finally got that time machine.

Grohl AND Black in the same skit? ...I love this series!

This is the moment Jimmy McGill became Hank Schrader.

Bob Odenkirk, Rhys Darby and Patton Oswalt in one sketch. Legendary

The acting is on point in this show. Truly hilarious stuff.

Being a Chicagoan, it is SO incredible & vindicating to see the story of Steve Dhal told... 93.1 the loop! RIP Harry Carey

Harry Carey: "Let's get off the field now." Everyone else: "50% off!!!"

This man needs more chances to shine

All Patton had to do was show up onscreen for me to lose it 😂

Wait, was Patton Oswalt the motor cycle-ridin', Walter Sobchak homage / veteran in the first scene? 😎

This show needs to make a comeback, this is hilarious

Been a fan since Mr. Show, loved Nobody! Odenkirk is underrated!

The racially diverse crowd at Disco Demolition seems like maybe an inaccuracy that underplays the reactionary nature of the event.

The button with the "insane coho lips" @2:35 brought back memories. The "LOOP" FM 98 and insane coho lips T-shirts were everywhere in the Chicagoland area at that time. I remember when this happened and my uncles were LOVING it. I spent a lot of time at Comiskey Park.

I wish this show would come back, NOW!

I’m the same age as Bob O. And I also grew up in suburban Chicago. Spooky to realize the local radio antics here are now considered “history.”

I loved Bob cracking up about the Imus remark

I want a Bob Odenkirk 😢 So damn much.

i love how the crowd is on a printed sheet

In 1979 I was a 14 year old growing up in Downers Grove, IL. The Loop was my favorite radio station. I really wanted to go to Disco Demolition, but was still a bit too young. No way my parents would let me gi!

Mr. Odenkirk is Awesome! I celebrate Mr. Odenkirk and his hilarious humor, etc.

Loved it! Just beautiful. Perfect cast. See it.

S'all good man!!

Freaking hilarious, thank you!

Love his voice

I love Colin Hanks in this, that guy always cracks me up

I really love this guy

The professor and the Madman is a killer movie with Mel Gibson and Sean Penn that tells the story that Okenkirk is in; about the unabridged Oxford Dictionary.

I swear with Bob it’s all Comedy Comedy Comedy and then Drama.

The best part is I'm drunk as shit rn now watching this

Artillery Arthur seems a bit kinder now. I hope tugboat's okay.

The host was perfect for this show, all he needs to do is make a chill atmosphere and let the people speak, asking questions occasionally to get them excited and talking again

Bravo!

Dave Grohl is in this? Sweet... Love Bob Odenkirk

I can’t believe They got Saul Goodman to play bob

I do like Jack Black playing Elvis, since he's the Elvis of his generation.

There’s a great film about W.C. Minor titled “The Professor and the Madman.” It’s not quite as good as this, but close. I highly recommend it.

Love this guy!

Bob O is the best. What a person!

Bob, only one small critique. All us kids in Chicagoland revered the famous/infamous Steve Dahl. Didn't you feel the need to point out that Mr. Dahl did not look stoner cool like this Mitch Hedberg look alike here. Nope, Steve Dahl weighed in at approximately 350+ lbs. (not that there's anything wrong with that). Actually, that night was probably the first time we saw the guy. Ah, Chicago. Great place to be from.. never to return.

MAN, not only does Eric Edelstein look like David Harbour he also SOUNDS just like him.

wait a minute, they glossed over the most important part of w.c. minor's life, did he nail the widow?

My favorite class of the day!

The idea of Dave Grohl hanging with Elvis blows my mind.

I love that to get a Harley small enough for Patton Oswalt to pose on they had to take what looks like an ancient BMW single cylinder moped and slap a HARLEY DAVIDSON sticker on it. So fuckn funny!

Was just watching MR SHOW WHEN THIS POPPED UP... SORCERY!

"Shakedown Street" is still a GD jam. ...and yes, i realize GD works 2 ways, there.

Pay Dave Chapelle

Jack Black as Elvis is genius

love bob!

"Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it" (a) Nixon, when feet

Feel better Bob!!

I love how Bob's Harry Carry kinda sounds like Bill Cosby. Lol

In perhaps a final accidental insult to R&B performers, nobody remembers when Nixon met James Brown.

I love bob dude.

Who else like being drunk watching this

I recall that the White Sox missed the playoffs by 1/2 game that season.

I appreciate the storytelling format but I would love to watch Bob's face while he is talking

Not even 30 seconds in and Bob can't hold his liquor

I grew up in Detroit. The Tigers were playing the Sox that night and the game was televised here (not sure if both games were supposed to be shown, or if they were just going to show the second game). Back then George Kell and Al Kaline were the broadcasters. Al was every bit as disgusted as Jimmy Piersall, I'm sure George was too. I'm not sure if I was watching, but I've seen replays of the incident with their commentary (it's been a while). Steve Dahl started out in Detroit (as did Howard Stern, right around the time of this incident), so we were very familiar with his antics from his time on Detroit radio. One of the Detroit radio stations created a group called DREAD - Detroit Rockers Engaged in the Abolition of Disco. Listeners could get DREAD cards, and there were little perks you could get if you were a card-carrying member. Can't remember which station it was for sure, I think WRIF, and not sure if that was the station Dahl was on before he went to Chicago. Oh the memories!

And Steve Dahl has rehashed this event on air every single day since.

I love bob.. mr show imo is the best sketch comedy show of all time

good man

My dentist used to have "Steve & Garry's" show playing on the radio in his office. I thought it was wild. I couldn't imagine that there wouldn't be somebody offended by it.

7:05 "In Etheen Sithy Thwee..."

Steve Dahl did the parody song, Do You Think I'm Disco.

Disco became EDM and all these kids don't care about history.

Fantastic actor

Why they cancel this show? It was the best

ROFL spot on Bob's the man!

You know what, I understand that the radio was saturated with Disco back then, but honestly some great music came out of that scene, particularly in regards to funk musicians. Disco and funk are closely related musically.

Nice

Lmfao wtf is this I’m finna binge them all

Baby, oh yeah....tonight's the night!

I remember disco demolition. Wish I could have gone. But I was only 12.

♥️this

Disco is amazing by comparison to all the music today that I group up with being popular.

Disco was frikkin great

After Run Ronnie Run I see Terry still 😅😂🤣

"That'll teach you to be a teenager"

I legit don’t get the backlash when Kiss released “I Was Made For Lovin’ You.” It’s like if metal and disco had a baby and it freaking slaps. I love that song and I make no apology for it.

I love disco, but after discovering that Bob Odenkirk hates it, I am starting to wonder if I secretly hated it all this time...

Me: I bet this chat is filled with nothing but better call Saul references Reality: Chat talks mostly about random things that have nothing to do with better call Saul

that Minor story was glorious

Ironic how much music is like what Bob sang today....

Pay Dave Chappelle.

Bob seems like a nice person.

This guy seems like he would be fit for a character in the Breaking Bad Universe

1:40 people from Chicago know that to be fact. BEFORE!!!! Howard Stern

🤣 tonights the night!
