Breaking Bad star was on 'The Price Is Right' in 1998

From UPROXX: The Breaking Bad star was on The Tonight Show yesterday, and Jay Leno, in a rare moment of me not hating him, revealed that his production team had dug up 14-year-old footage of Paul, wearing a Texas t-shirt and glasses, freaking out, Pinkman-style, after he was told to “COME ON DOWN…BITCH.” Best of all, as Paul mentioned to Leno, a commercial of his ran during a Price Is Right ad break.

Prince released the “Batdance” single in 1989 and it anchored the Batman movie soundtrack.

You can see it here though. You can also buy the single here.
