The chance to collaborate once again with our partners at Sony Pictures Television and Mark Johnson&#8217;s Gran Via is even more icing on a very satisfying cake.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am thrilled that AMC is embracing the unique scenario and characters in Paul and Aaron&#8217;s adaptation of <em>Straight Man<\/em>,&#8221; Odenkirk said. &#8220;I have loved the mix of comedy and drama in <em>Better Call Saul<\/em>, and this is another story with a unique dynamic, and the kind of closely observed character writing and exploration that AMC has become the touchstone for. It&#8217;s going to be fun to play and watch!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Zelman and Lieberstein said: &#8220;We&#8217;re so excited to work with Bob.

And it&#8217;s a dream to be working with Mark Johnson, who literally has Jedi powers to make everyone think they came up with his idea. Oh, and did we mention the legendary Peter Farrelly? AMC Networks and Sony\/Tristar have been uniquely supportive partners in sharing our vision for the show. Ever since <em>Mad Men<\/em> we&#8217;ve wanted a show on this network, where risk-taking is par for the course.
