Vince Gilligan? (creator of Breaking Bad)

A similar joke was featured in the HBO comedy series Flight of the Conchords, which also features Constabile in a supporting role. Gilligan said he was not aware of that joke at the time, but watched it after conceiving of the Gale joke and researching karaoke. He said of it: "
It was freaking hilarious. It's brilliant. And then I was thinking, 'Oh shit, should we even do this now, because how can it be as good as those guys?'"

Oh, nice one! :#thumbsup#: I think he definitely counts, and judging from the conversation that quote was pulled from, I think Bryan Cranston can be added to the list as well.

Michelle MacLaren: Was it inspired by Flight of the Condor? ( :#fingerwave#: )

Vince Gilligan: You know what, it was not, but the trouble is then we saw, we started looking up karaoke videos and we saw the one from Flight of the Conchords which is freaking hilarious.

Bryan Cranston: Oh no way! I must have missed that one.

Vince: It's brilliant.

Bryan: Wow.

Vince: And then I was thinking, 'Oh shit, should we even do this now, because how can it be as good as those guys?'"

Bryan: Sure.

Vince: I mean, 'cause that's a great one.

Bryan: I gotta see that. Love that show.

Vince: It's a great show.

I love Breaking Bad. I'm glad he kept the scene, even if it immediately reminded me of FOTC... made worse by the fact that [s:j0jreopa]Doug[/s:j0jreopa] David was the one singing.

During the panel, Portia said she marathoned Breaking Bad all summer, but her current favorite is Homeland, which she watches at home with wife Ellen DeGeneres. Because both of those shows are heavy dramas, I asked what kind of comedies they enjoy.

"
Honestly, my top three comedies, and I have to include Arrested Development because it really is my favorite, I'm very lucky,"
Portia said, "
is the original Office with Ricky [Gervais] and Flight of the Conchords. I loved Flight of the Conchords so much. I can rewatch that I just love it. They're great guys."
