Rhea Seehorn just earned her first Emmy nod. How Bob Odenkirk sent his congrats

Fans have been saying for years that the Television Academy better call Rhea Seehorn with an Emmy nomination for her complex and devastating performance as Kim Wexler in AMC's "Better Call Saul." This year, they finally got her number right.

Seehorn scooped up a nomination Tuesday for supporting actress in a drama, joining fellow nominees Patricia Arquette ("Severance"), Sydney Sweeney ("Euphoria"), Sarah Snook ("Succession"), Julia Garner ("Ozark"), Jung Ho-yeon ("Squid Game") and Christina Ricci ("Yellowjackets")

The nomination comes as "Better Call Saul" made its return Monday night, after a seven-week hiatus, to begin the last stretch of its sixth and final season — and let's just say the look of fear and disbelief on Kim Wexler's face in those closing minutes was something to behold.

The L.A. Times spoke with Seehorn about the morning's jolt of excitement on her Tuesday. She was also nominated for actress in a short form comedy, drama or variety series for AMC's "Cooper's Bar."

Q: Can you give me a recap of your morning so far?

A: I am in London, so I'm right up on happy hour.
