When huge celebrities and icons like Brooke Shields, Diane Keaton and Christie Brinkley come by, Rachael often shows a "sizzle reel" of their incredible career highlights through the years. Bryan Cranston, whose sitcom credits include Malcolm in the Middle and Seinfeld, seems a bit surprised that he's simply greeted on the set with a warm welcome from Rachael, so he takes matters into his own hands. "If you don't mind, I took the liberty of having a separate PR company come up with a sizzle reel," he tells Rachael as he pops in his own self-aggrandizing video, in which the comedian refers to himself as "legendary," "acclaimed," and known for his "blistering good looks and sex appeal." This time, when Rachael re-introduces Bryan, he walks out to the thunderous applause and standing ovation he was looking for!

"That was such a shock to see that," Bryan joke. "I had no idea!"

Properly celebrated, he takes a seat at Rachael's kitchen table and she asks him about his guest appearances on Seinfeld. Bryan says it was just as much fun to work on the show as you would imagine, with the actors frequently struggling to keep a straight face. "I was able to be in the 'Yadda, Yadda' episode," Bryan says. "When you watch Seinfeld and you see Jerry with that constant smile on his face, it's because he's that close to breaking up."

Since then, Bryan has gone from Malcolm in the Middle to his new AMC series, Breaking Bad where he plays a chemistry teacher with terminal cancer who decides to sell meth to raise cash for his family. "He's a man who is forced to carry the weight of 25 years of regret ... and it's a horrible thing to carry with you," Bryan explains. "And the ironic thing is he's become liberated because of this death sentence."

It sounds serious, but the commercials have Bryan walking around in his underwear. It's a look that's becoming pretty familiar for this star. "I was in my underwear all the time -- tighty whitey underwear -- in Malcolm in the Middle," he says. "I thought, 'This must be what America wants to see!'"

But what do Emmy voters want to see? So far Bryan's had three nominations but not one victory. Rachael thinks his current series may be the one to get him the award. "Whatever happens ... happens. I'm just enjoying this," Bryan says. "I have a wife and a 14-year old daughter. It's just been a wonderful ride."
