Mad Men, you guys. MAD MEN. Does it make my life sound completely pathetic if I say that tonight’s return is what I have been living for? I mean, yes, my child has still been clothed and fed, but come on … Don effin’ Draper is coming back! Tonight! What’s so great about this isn’t just that one of my favorite shows currently on television is coming back, but Jon Hamm, who plays the aforementioned Don Draper, has been charming his way across the talk shows this week. From Conan, to Jimmy Fallon, to Regis and Kelly, he’s been hitting them all — and staying awesome the whole time. So with that, I present to you this week’s column, completely devoted to Don Draper (AKA Jon Hamm).
Jon Hamm recounts his tale of meeting Tracy Morgan for the first time on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien:
As he says, everyone should have the experience of meeting Tracy Morgan. That, to me, is a good piece of lifestyle advice. He recounts getting sucked into a bit during a read-through for 30 Rock, and while he does a little bit of a Tracy Morgan impression, I can’t help but feel like, when he’s recounting this story for his friends, he goes all out.
Also, he’s friends with Jack McBrayer, and that’s adorable.
Jon Hamm shares his letter home on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon:
I was laughing hysterically the entire time he talked about getting Elisabeth Hasselbeck pregnant. The, “I’m super-psyched about being a dad,” line is priceless, as is the fact that his family portrait has him in a Superman cape.
Jon, Jimmy, and Higgins play dice on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon:
Okay, picture this: Paul Rudd and Jon Hamm sitting around playing Scrabble. Awesome. Turns out the two, who have been friends since they were kids, also made up a dice game called “Threes,” or “Regal Beagle,” as Higgins dubs it. The game actually looks like it could be kind of fun, but as I’m low-rent, I would not be playing with twenties.
Jon Hamm’s John Ham
Hamm also appeared on Regis and Kelly this week, and it was absolutely adorable. Regis, who generally can’t stand his guests or their stupid little shows, is obviously in love with Mad Men and Don Draper. Unfortunately, I can’t find the video anywhere, so I give to you: Jon Hamm’s John Ham, his amazing ad parody from Saturday Night Live. Sure, it wasn’t on this week — but it’s still hilarious.
I know clicqueclack is primarily aimed at an american audience, and of course, the clips may not be found anywhere else but hulu, but it’s really frustrating for us international readers not to see the clips because they’re from hulu and COULD NOT BE SEEN! Ugh!
