Who is Maureen Callahan and what is the show 'The Nerve' about?
Hello and welcome. Welcome to The Nerve. I'm Maureen Callahan. I'm your host. It's episode one. So I want to tell you a little bit about what to expect. This is a non-safe space. This is a space where we are going to talk about all of the things in pop culture, celebrity scandal, crime. books fashion music you name it we're covering it um we're gonna kick off today with an incredible little reported story involving an a-list star who you will never look at the same way again i to my mind think this guy is worse than harvey weinstein and that says a lot because i think harvey weinstein's a pretty bad guy um and i also just wanted to take a moment to thank everybody who sent me messages over the past few days after hearing how nervous I was on Megyn Kelly's show last Friday. I saw them all, I read them. They really have helped me a lot. I was so preoccupied after leaving Megyn's studio and I've been doing her show in that studio for, I'm gonna say like a couple of years now.
So I know how to get from point A to point B. And I was walking out of the studio, back to the car, the lovely driver who was taking me home I had my head down. I was so consumed with my own nerves and preoccupations. I walked straight into a branch, a knotty, thick tree branch. I get to the car door. This driver's like, you're bleeding. I'm like, are you serious? I pull out my compact. I'm like, my entire upper face is just bleeding. I can't even see the source of the bleed. You know, like your head, you get the tiniest laceration and it's just like a geyser is gushing. Like I get in the back of the car. I'm like, sir, I'm so sorry. I'm not going to get blood anywhere, but I am bleeding out. He says, do you want to go back? And I was like, absolutely not.
What is the controversy surrounding Jon Hamm's alleged fraternity hazing?
I'm completely mortified. Anyway, I have since gotten it together. I can assure you. And I think we should just get into it. So the first person I would like to take aim at in our very first show is one Jon Hamm. And this segment, I promise you, you're never going to forget what you hear. He is everywhere right now because he's got a show on Apple called Your Friends and Neighbors and it's number one. I don't know if it's like number one all over or if it's just number one in drama, but it's doing really well. It's already been renewed and he just did SNL to promote it. Let's take a little bit of a look at that.
But even though it's been a while, I've still been on the show a lot. In fact, I was checking my own Wikipedia, which I often do, and I found out that since then, I've made 14 cameos. Yeah.
Okay, number one, he was looking at his own Wikipedia, which I would bet there's a big part of that Wikipedia that he would love to have just deleted. But he doesn't mention that. Instead, he's congratulating himself on being so freaking awesome. He's Jon Hamm and you're not. Are you as impressed with Jon Hamm as Jon Hamm is? I don't know that you could be. Take a look at him on his good friend Jimmy Fallon's show last week.
You are a stud! You are a stud, Jon Hamm! Come on! I love you, bud. You're never wrong. You're never wrong.
I think all of us have been wrong about Jon Hamm for a very long time. You know, when he first burst on the scene with Mad Men, I mean, everyone, myself included, had a huge crush on this guy. And he sort of really kind of came in and was like a throwback to a very old school kind of masculinity. And even today, he still kind of has it. You know, he's really in stark contrast to like the Timothée Chalamet's and those like fey, twee little guys who don't quite read as, I think, traditionally masculine, fair, whatever. But I would also like to say this before we get into the scandal that he has successfully ridden out and hidden lo these many years. Having just acted myself in a short little film called With Love, Meghan, that's Meghan with a Y, in which Megyn Kelly portrayed a Meghan Markle adjacent character. in which I portrayed a Mindy Kaling adjacent character, one who displayed really just fear and servility and felt like a hostage throughout the whole thing. You know, we've gotten some really nice notices.
