After Colbert noted that Cranston's Walter White mask at Comic-Con made him look a bit like James Lipton, the actor went into a brief impersonation of Inside the Actors Studio host, saying, "And then you did The Power Rangers, which was brilliant."

Colbert then freaked out wondering if Cranston was, in fact, in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, leading the Breaking Bad star to admit that he provided voices for some of the monsters.

"So now we kind of know where Heisenberg comes from," Colbert said.

"That was the birth of Heisenberg," Cranston explained.

"You were the danger back then," Colbert added.

The interview then shifted to the question to which all Breaking Bad fans want to know the answer: How's the show going to end?

Colbert claimed that creator Vince Gilligan told him what happens, but then asked Cranston if he was surprised by the outcome and asked, "What is it?"

Cranston jokingly revealed a fake ending, saying "So you already know that Jesse Pinkman has a sex-change operation …"

But he said he could be "bought off" to reveal the real ending. He's just "waiting for the right price."
