The “Breaking Bad” star tells President Obama (Jay Pharoah) about how his friend -– who got cancer and turned to cooking meth -- could have benefited from Obamacare.

Saturday Night Live kicked off its season in the midst of Breaking Bad fever – and capitalized on it by recruiting none other than Aaron Paul for its cold open.

Paul played “Jesse from New Mexico” during President Obama's (Jay Pharoah) address about Obamacare. After receiving some complaints, Obama was thrilled to bring up the young man to talk about his friend who would have benefited from Obamacare.

“I had this friend and he got sick. Like, cancer sick. But because there wasn’t Obamcare, he couldn’t afford treatments. So he was like, backed into a corner,” Paul said.

“And keep in mind -- this man was a teacher with a family,” Obama added.

“So, he did what any of us would have done. He started cooking meth. And soon it wasn’t just meth. It was murder. And not regular murder. Like -- he blew half a guy’s face off.”

A horrified Obama said, “I think we can wrap this up.”

Paul asked if anyone wanted to know what ultimately happened to his friend -- and the entire crowd shouted “no” -- a riff on people being worried about Breaking Bad spoilers.
