Saturday Night Live gave Tina Fey the night off yesterday, but Mad Men‘s Jon Hamm stepped in as host and gave us a couple of decent Hulu clips (cuz let’s face it: although SNL has manged to become culturally relevant again this election season, the worthwhile material each week can still be summed up with a clip or two). His James Mason was pretty funny (great drunken British accent!), but the funniest moment of the night was “Don Draper’s Guide” where Hamm’s Mad Men character shares tips on picking up women. My favorite? “Drink and smoke constantly.”
And despite what Judd Apatow’s gang may think of me for saying so, I also dug Coldplay rocking it old-school with “Yellow” last night.
Oh, and congrats to Amy Poehler, who wasn’t at the Weekend Update desk because she was having her baby. We’ll miss the funny pregnant lady sketches, but all good things must come to an end, I suppose.
Jon Hamm is an amazing actor. Glad more people got to see him on SNL last night. It’s also great to see his funny side too.
I don’t watch Mad Men, but that clip kind of makes me want to.
Very funny… Can’t wait for the season finale tonight!
Absolutely hilarious! I missed the show last night (I had to go dancing and scope pretty boys) but was thrilled when I saw some super funny clips of Jon. That man can do anything.

After seeing Jon Hamm play the moody and complicated Don Draper, it ws great to see him laugh and smile last night. I thought he did a great job but then again, I could watch him read the phone book for 2 hours. Swoon!
That was pretty funny.
Awesome. We’ve been watching MM from the start, and that made the skits even more enjoyable. Great to see this side of Jon Hamm, too…the guy’s a great actor and MM is a total gem.
He was fantastic! I think this was the first show of the season where the good skits outweighed the klunkers. The monologue was great, Jon Hamm’s John Ham, even the political ads at the end were good. Oh – the AHoles Visit a 60s Ad agency: I loved Casey Wilson’s Joan
The show was not funny besides the ad agency skit. This was the worst episode this season besides the Michael Phelps one. The rest of the season has been fantastic. I miss Tina Fey.
For some reason the Vincent Price sketch had me rolling. I haven’t laughed at a SNL sketch like that in a while.
not sure if i missed something but i didn’t see any Yello – only 2 crap songs la vida and lost….. coldplay needs to be reminded they are no radiohead and chris martin needs to stop bouncing around like a fool.
Jon Hamm has the type of loveable smugness that made Burt Reynolds, Alec Baldwin and George Clooney stars.
He was great, put him in the regular rotation of guest hosts.
This clip was funny on Saturday and it still makes me laugh today. Thanks for sharing!
Mad Men is a great show – hope they have a 3rd season!
