Ahead of last night’s big series finale of “Breaking Bad,” Jessie Pinkman showed up on the most unlikely of places: on the season premiere of Saturday Night Live. You can see his cameo in the video below.

The opening skit of the show was called Obama on the Obamacare Act, and included Jay Pharoah playing Obama, trying to explain to audiences why Obamacare would be really make a difference in the lives of millions of Americans.

Pinkman (played by Aaron Paul) showed up towards the end: he was just one “average American” looking to have his sad story out there.

Apparently, he had a friend and he got cancer. The friend was a teacher and he had a family, and he was a really nice guy. He was talking, of course, about Bryan Cranston’s Walter White on “Breaking Bad.”

“He did what any of us would have done. He started cooking meth. And soon it wasn't just meth, it was murder. And not regular murder, he blew half a guy's face off,” Jessie said.

By this moment, Obama was desperate to get him off the stage, but Jessie really wanted to say how the story of his friend ended. He was welcomed by a chorus of “nooooo-es,” which was hilarious considering the “Breaking Bad” series finale aired shortly afterwards.
