Hardwick spoke about the decision to make him the host,  “AMC will tell you that it’s because of the success of Talking Dead or my friendship with the BB cast that they asked me to host this, but I maintain it probably has more to do with my unmistakable resemblance to Jesse Pinkman, B&%$#.” “Talking Bad” will premiere August 11th at 11pm est/10pm central.
