Chapter 3: What is Jon Hamm's favorite position in baseball?

75.26 - 89.032 Unknown

This episode is presented by Allstate. Checking Allstate first could save you hundreds on car insurance. That's smart. Not checking that the fake roast chicken is, in fact, a fake roast chicken before chomping into a wing. Rookie mistake.

A couple months. God, Roger Sterling is such an incredible character. Such a complicated guy that you just cannot help but love. And half the time you're like, why do I love this guy?

140.831 - 165.328 Amy Poehler

Although, I mean, not just him. I think everybody had, despite their... wrongheadedness or whatever moment, like just when you thought, well, this is just somebody who thinks like this. They do something incredibly human or funny or touching or whatever. I mean, he's, you know, that thing, all those characters had that.

171.394 - 192.973 Amy Poehler

I auditioned for his part. And they said, and I remember I called my agent back and was like, are you sure this is the part? Because... you know, I was beyond that age. And they were like, that's what they want. So I did all my homework and went in and read. And then Matt and Alan Taylor were there. And then they said, okay, so here's the thing. We already have this guy.

193.857 - 212.544 Amy Poehler

And I said, excuse me. And they said, well, your part isn't really visible so much in the first episode. So there wasn't much for you to read. We didn't think you'd come in. And I was a little like, and then, you know, he said, but I promise you, this will be a great part. So then I met him and I was like, oh, shit. You know, well, they certainly do have that guy.

212.584 - 215.949 Amy Poehler

Like I realized, you know, oh, that's what that guy looks like. Of course.

Yeah.

216.69 - 237.178 Amy Poehler

And then day one, he just sent me a picture the other night. two nights ago of his TV, wherever he was. And it was him at the desk and me sitting across with a drink. And I said, and I could tell from the suit and like my hair was diff something. And I said, is that day one? And he said, yeah.

237.158 - 238.779 Unknown

Chapter 7: What does Jon Hamm reveal about his experiences on 'Mad Men'?

427.926 - 449.329 Unknown

I'm you, too. I hope we get to hang out in some real way again. We got to be on it. We got to do a couple of scenes together once on a silly show called Wet Hot American Summer. On Netflix, we got to perform together and it was really fun. So I hope we get to do something again someday soon.

449.349 - 477.378 Amy Poehler

Me too. You know, I remember being so impressed that the difference between my own ability to sort of improvise and yours, which was like, oh, that's how, that's a person who knows how to improvise on story. Like not just divert and use some nugget that you have saved up or something, but like that you could do stuff that had to do with the actual action of the scene.

477.398 - 486.795 Amy Poehler

And I was just sort of, you and John early, I was watching this thing and I was thinking, man, these people are, this is, this is, this is different.

486.975 - 503.765 Unknown

Well, when you don't quote, remember your lines, you have to, you have to have a trick. Yeah. You know, you have to, you have to be like, look over there. Well, Slattery, love you. Love seeing you. Give lots of love to Talia. Please give her my love.
