The actor who was married in 1997 has seen a lot of upside Downs in his career but one thing that stuck with his highs and lows was her wife Naomi Yomtov. It’s been more than 25 years since she has been with her and it seems like she holds the most important position in her life. Naomi has been with Bob for a long time but the fans don’t know much about her.
What Naomi Yomtov Do?
Naomi, who is A Producer and talent Manager, married BOB in 1997. She is widely known for her films and one of her movies, No Hard Feelings, has recently made her debut on the screen. She has never been on the screen but actively worked behind the show and helped in the transformation of a lot of shows. Earlier, she worked as an assistant at the Wiliam Morris talent agency, where she brought new talent to the page. As per her profile in Playboy, she “scouted new talent at comedy clubs across Los Angeles,”
She is known for representing Jenna Fischer, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Casey Wilson, and Derek Waters. She also discovered Bill, when he was working as a production assistant. “It was so great,” Hader told Playboy. “Naomi was jumping up and down, saying, ‘I think you’re going to get the show!’ That’s the thing I love about her. There’s no bullsh*t. You can also tell that she has a genuine curiosity and appreciation for comedic actors and good material.”
Being a hardworking wife, she also worked with her hardworking husband and managed him. Talking about it, Bob revealed, “It was very hard for a long time,” Bob told the Wall Street Journal of Naomi being his manager. “In the case of Naomi, a really smart, informed person with a point of view … you want your wife or your partner to care about how it’s making you feel and not the thing itself. If I said to Naomi, ‘Oh I wrote this pilot. I turned it in [and] the network said they didn’t like it,’ I don’t want her to say, ‘Well, they’re right.’”
“We figured out how to work together,” Naomi told Playboy of working with her husband. “There were a few years where we hadn’t figured it out yet, and feelings would get hurt.”
“I can be pretty blunt, so I think I’ve hurt her feelings a few times, especially when I don’t like something she likes,” Bob told Playboy. “But Naomi has gotten better at her critiques, and I’ve gotten better at hearing them. That’s true with anyone, if you’re married to them or not.
The Obvious Love Story of Naomi and Bob!
In 1994, Naomi was working for William Morris, where she met Bob, who was talking about his upbringing and how he managed to live with his alcoholic father who never cared about him, and his six siblings.
Namoi revealed in an interview that she instantly knew that she was going to get married to Bob. “A week later I was driving around doing errands, and I thought, That’s the man I’m going to marry,” Naomi told Playboy. “It popped into my head just like that. I was disturbed at first. I wasn’t marriage-minded. I was very career-minded. But I couldn’t ignore this thought. I went home that night and told my roommates, ‘I know which man I’m going to marry. But I’m embarrassed because I don’t know him yet.’”
She Plays an Important Role in Better Call Saul
Better Call Saul, one of the famous series comes on role because of her. Speaking about it, Bob revealed, “I can be pretty blunt, so I think I’ve hurt her feelings a few times, especially when I don’t like something she likes,” Bob told Playboy. “But Naomi has gotten better at her critiques, and I’ve gotten better at hearing them. That’s true with anyone, if you’re married to them or not.”
Naomi was the reason behind him agreeing to the role. “He had to see himself through different eyes,” Naomi said. “On Breaking Bad, he just showed up as an actor. He didn’t write it; he didn’t create it. He had to come to terms with a paradigm shift in his career from a director to and creator of comedy. It was interesting to see him embrace an opportunity like that and go with it.”
