Plot Summary

William Henry Devereaux, Jr., spiritually suited to playing left field but forced by a bad hamstring to try first base, is the unlikely chairman of the English department at West Central Pennsylvania University. Over the course of a single convoluted week, he threatens to execute a duck, has his nose slashed by a feminist poet, discovers that his secretary writes better fiction than he does, suspects his wife of having an affair with his dean, and finally confronts his philandering elderly father, the one-time king of American Literary Theory, at an abandoned amusement park.

Trivia When Better Call Saul ended, Bob Odenkirk says although he is not ready to leave Saul behind, he is happy to play "a humorously disgruntled professor dealing with the world of academia and the security and instability of that world", in Straight Man. See more »
Crazy Credits A character in the likeness of Bob Odenkirk (William Henry Devereaux, Jr) engages in evasive maneuvers against the hammers of the typewriter keys. The opening credit sequence may serve as a metaphor, for him avoiding "writing" like the plague. See more »
