BRIEF: Bob Odenkirk doesn't want to play Jimmy Kimmel's game

Aug. 25--"Better Call Saul" star Bob Odenkirk called his publicist during Monday's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" after Kimmel wanted Odenkirk to play a game of tetherball with actress Heather Graham's face on the ball.

"I told my publicist I didn't want to play a game," Odenkirk told Kimmel.

"It's a fun game. I think you'll really like it," Kimmel said as he described the rules of his new game "Heatherball."

"Can't we just talk?," asked Odenkirk, a Naperville native.

Kimmel played the game by himself, yelling, "C'mon, Bob," as Odenkirk called his publicist and threatened to fire her.

Kimmel won the game but Odenkirk was the real winner. Kimmel gave him a portable version of "Heatherball" to take home.

AMC is expected to premiere Season 2 of "Better Call Saul" in early 2016.
