Bryan Cranston recreates Ariana Madix rant on ‘WWHL,’ fans joke he ‘did it better’
After Bryan Cranston’s epic Ariana Madix reenactment on “Watch What Happens Live,” Andy Cohen wants to “give the man an Emmy.”
The “Breaking Bad” alum delivered an epic monologue Tuesday night from the “Vanderpump Rules” finale despite admitting he had “never seen” an episode of the Bravo show.
“Is it alright if I don’t know what I’m doing?” the actor, 67, asked the audience before beginning.
Cranston’s impassioned performance was modeled after Madix, 37, ranting at Tom Sandoval after his cheating scandal came to light.
“I’ve been with you for nine years, when you were literally f–king, like, wearing combat boots and skinny jeans and didn’t have a dime to your name,” the Golden Globe winner said with sass and extravagant hand gestures as emotional music played.
“Oh now, now, you got a little bit of money, a little bar, a little band, and this girl is going to act enamored with you?” he continued, referencing Raquel Leviss. “Because that’s what you want. You want someone to just gas you up.”

As Cranston went on to say that Sandoval, 40, was “worth nothing,” Cohen and fellow guest Maya Hawke laughed from their seats.
The Emmy winner closed the speech with, “I regret ever loving you,” before turning away from the camera in an attempt to hide tears.
“And scene!” Cohen, 55, cried out, jumping up from his chair. “Bravo!”
Twitter users praised Cranston’s acting ability, with one joking that the Oscar nominee “did it better” than Madix herself.
“I’ve watched Bryan Cranston do Ariana’s soliloquy 10,000 times” another wrote, while a third added, “bryan cranston performing ariana madix yelling at sandoval isn’t something i thought i would ever see but i’m SO GLAD i did.”
Other social media users compared Cranston to Jon Hamm, who made headlines last week for a hilarious James Kennedy impersonation on “WWHL.”
While Kennedy, 31, called the reenactment “legend[ary]” via Instagram at the time, Madix has yet to acknowledge Cranston’s “Clubhouse Playhouse” segment.
