00:00At Mer Marilyn, how does Jon Hamm look so handsome in Mad Men, yet so disgusting in Bridesmaids?
00:05First of all, how dare you?
00:06Second of all, um...
00:09What's up, GQ?
00:12I'm Jon Hamm. Today I'm going undercover on the internet.
00:16It's actually me.
00:19It's me.
00:20You may not believe it, but it's actually me.
00:25X.
00:26Formerly known as Twitter.
00:30Meg, whose handle is Betty Draper, but the four for the A in Draper. Get it?
00:38What's the best episode of Mad Men besides the suitcase? You can't say the suitcase or I'll kill you.
00:42I don't know who they're asking. If they're asking me, the best episode of it is the pilot.
00:49Pretty damn good. Way to start a show.
00:52And Betty Draper has a bit of a reveal in the pilot, I think. Pretty awesome.
00:55Next, immensely powerful, unused, quote-unquote, cornboy entity, at weed underscore rat.
01:03Okay, so, my big question about the new season of Fargo is why did they give Jon Hamm's character nipple rings?
01:11What do you got against nipple rings, man?
01:13Your handle is weed rat.
01:14Uh, you know, people have inner lives.
01:19Replied, at Ashley P923, so who knew that Jon Hamm taught Ellie Kemper in high school?
01:25Thanks, NPR.
01:27Uh, I knew it.
01:29Ellie knew it.
01:30Ellie's sister Carrie knew it.
01:31Taught her, too.
01:32Ellie's parents knew it.
01:34Public record, guys.
01:36Private high school, public record.
01:38At Barrelace, Michelle, why is Jon Hamm doing lemonade commercials?
01:42Because Jon Hamm likes money.
01:44And lemonade.
01:46Two things can be true.
01:47Back to X.
01:49At Mer Marilyn, how does Jon Hamm look so handsome in Mad Men, yet so disgusting in Bridesmaids?
01:54First of all, how dare you?
01:55Second of all, um, two things can be true.
02:02Replied, Reddit.
02:08What on earth was this subplot, and why did they hire Jon Hamm for it?
02:11This is from the Invincible subreddit.
02:14I was re-watching season one and just realized there's a minor rule for a guard, Jon Hamm, that works in the White House.
02:19I can probably understand the theme of parenting because of Nolan, but I thought it was going to go somewhere.
02:23LOL.
02:25Uh, it didn't go anywhere.
02:26It was just a fun little Easter egg.
02:28See?
02:29Sometimes we can just have fun with it.
02:31Robert Kirkland called me up and said, would you ever consider doing this?
02:34It might be a fun misdirect.
02:35And I said, yes, I would like to do that.
02:37Next.
02:39Jon Hamm and Adam Scott on the subreddit television.
02:43Jon Hamm and Adam Scott recreate Simon and Simon intro.
02:46Rapid Checkout asks, did they recreate it for a reason or just for fun?
02:55What do you think?
02:56Maybe fun is the reason.
02:58Okay, now we're in the Curb subreddit.
03:04Jon Hamm taking notes on Susie and Cheryl going off on Larry is one of the best moments in the show.
03:09Again, real quick, are we talking about The Crown now?
03:11Yeah.
03:11How good is that show?
03:13I agree.
03:14Did Jon Hamm improv this moment?
03:16Yes.
03:17It's all improv.
03:18Posted.
03:20Okay.
03:20Now we're in the live from New York subreddit, one that's near and dear to my heart.
03:25A photograph of myself, Michael Buble, and a glazed ham.
03:29Who is responsible for writing the joy that is ham and Buble?
03:33Any pun related sketches?
03:36Look no further than ham and bubbly.
03:39You can thank Seth Meyers.
03:41Michael Buble said he wanted to be part of the show.
03:45Careful what you wish for, buddy.
03:47Next.
03:47Subreddit, Mad Men.
03:50Jon Hamm was good, a little too good, actually, at playing narcissistic crazy men.
03:54Why is that?
04:00They all have skills.
04:02I have a specific set of skills.
04:05It's Uncle Liam Neeson.
04:06Posted.
04:07Subreddit, Jon Hamm.
04:09Job, Hamm, secret Instagram.
04:11Has anyone found it?
04:14Jobham?
04:15J-O-B.
04:15Spill my name right if you're going to ask a favor.
04:19Okay, YouTube.
04:21Oh, this will always be good.
04:29I can only imagine them pitching this to Jon Hamm.
04:31I can imagine them doing it, too, because they did.
04:33Andy Samberg and Akiva Schaffer and Norma Ticone were in their office, and they had showed me
04:39a clip from the Lost Boys of Tim playing saxophone shirtless.
04:43And they said, what if this guy, but also he was like the Kool-Aid man and he just broke
04:47through the walls.
04:48And I was like, that's really funny.
04:50You'll never make that.
04:51Cut to three days later, I was breaking through walls shirtless with a long ponytail playing
04:57saxophone.
04:57It's a good pitch.
05:04Replied.
05:05Now on to Quora.
05:06It starts with Q-U, so I'm assuming it's questions.
05:10What Marvel or DC character could Jon Hamm play?
05:13I could play all of them, honestly.
05:16We're in a time where casting is wide open.
05:19Why not me for everybody?
05:20And, you know, AI, I could be a Skrull, is that a thing?
05:26Yeah, anything.
05:28Posted.
05:29More Quora.
05:30What does Jon Hamm think is the GOAT of St. Louis sports?
05:34Greatest of all time, St. Louis sports.
05:36Hard to say, but I'm guessing Stan Musial.
05:41Classic Cardinal.
05:42Whole career as a Cardinal.
05:43Amazing.
05:44Brett Hull, another example from the St. Louis Blues.
05:47Kelly Chase, great community guy.
05:49Jim Hart, classic St. Louis football Cardinal quarterback.
05:52Ozzie Smith.
05:53Come on, the list goes on and on.
05:55Lou Brock.
05:56Worst situation in St. Louis sports.
05:59He didn't play for the St. Louis Cardinals.
06:01And may he rest in peace, but Don Denken, who called to play at first base in the 1985 World
06:07Series incorrectly.
06:08Still a little bit hung up on that.
06:11That's okay.
06:12Replied.
06:14Even more Quora.
06:16How many cigarettes does Jon Hamm smoke on an average Mad Men shoot?
06:19Well, they're fake cigarettes, thank goodness.
06:21But they were, they weren't like CGI'd or anything.
06:24So that was actually really people inhaling smoke and carcinogens, even though it wasn't
06:30tar or nicotine.
06:31Fortunately.
06:32Somebody did a thing, a deep dive in the pilot of Mad Men and said that I smoked something
06:38like 174 cigarettes in that pilot.
06:42We did 92 episodes, so do the math a lot is an answer.
06:48Yeah.
06:49Don't smoke, kids.
06:50Okay.
06:51Wikipedia.
06:52His first acting role was as Winnie the Pooh in first grade.
06:59That is correct.
07:00I was chosen out of my entire first grade class because I was the loudest.
07:08He continued working as a waiter sometime after first grade and briefly worked as a set designer
07:14for a softcore pornography movie.
07:15Not a set designer.
07:17A set decorator.
07:18Wildly different things.
07:19There's a hyperlink there, so I'm assuming if you click on that, it'll take you to set
07:24designer.
07:25Ask anybody.
07:25Art department, still.
07:27It wasn't a hard job at all.
07:29Paid $100 a day and it was soul crushing.
07:32Next.
07:34Pam says that he used memories of his father to portray Draper, a well-dressed, influential
07:38man of business and society, hiding great inner turmoil.
07:41Sure.
07:41My dad had a lot of suits.
07:44Instagram.
07:46It'd be a good time for me to tell you I pitched a new app where people can get
07:49graham crackers delivered to their homes.
07:52It's called instant graham.
07:5430 Rock.
07:56Liz Lemon really knows how to pick them.
07:58Is Jon Hamm still in the bubble?
07:59No.
08:01Never was.
08:02Character.
08:02That was Dr. Drew.
08:04Feel dumb now?
08:06Because you should.
08:07Okay.
08:09That's it.
