Bryan Cranston is back on TV in a new promo for MLB on TBS. In the ad, the "Breaking Bad" alum shares his plans to put on a one-man recreation of the entire MLB postseason as it's nearing playoff baseball.

The four-time Emmy-winning actor claims he's inspired by Bugs Bunny to make the one-man show. "Any actor who tells you that he is not inspired by Bugs Bunny is a liar, frankly, or just a hack," he says.

He dons various baseball uniforms as he reenacts some of the best moments in baseball. "I wanted the theater itself to become the entire ballpark experience," he reveals, "So we were also able to get some professional concessionaires to bring in their expertise." The scene then shows a vendor selling hot dogs in the theater during Cranston's monologue, which clearly annoys him.

There's also a glimpse of Cranston doing ballet with retired MLB star Pedro Martinez making a cameo and Cranston delivering a dramatic interpretation of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame".

The MLB postseason kicks off Tuesday, September 30 on TBS.
