“It was very courageous of AMC and Sony and Vince Gilligan, our creator, to say, ‘Enough’s enough. Let’s bring it to a close.’ Like a proud athlete. I was grateful that they all decided to hang ’em up at the proper time,” Cranston said.
The 73rd annual Peabody Awards air Sunday on Pivot and are hosted by Ira Glass. The awards honor excellence in media, and the one-hour original special will recognize 13 of this year’s 43 winners, including “Scandal,” “Orange is the New Black,” “Orphan Black” and “Breaking Bad.” Those interviewed include Tom Brokaw, Anthony Bourdain, Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key.
