Jon Hamm on Marriage: 'Fix the Core Mess'

0:00On April 19th, John Ham's dropping wisdom on busted marriages straight from his mad men days. He knows Don Draper inside out after seven seasons from 2007 to 2015. At an event on April 11th, Ham shut down fans begging Don and Betty to reunite, calling their bond fractured, built on lies, and straight up, it's toxic. He linked it to his new show, Your Friends and Neighbors, where his character Koop loses his hedge fund gig, turns to burglary, and deals with his, wife's affair. Ham says jumping back into a split like that without fixing the core mess is a recipe for disaster, just like the drapers. Fans loved Ham as a slick ad man, but he almost missed out. He auditioned, thinking they'd pick a big movie star over him, like when he lost the West Wing role to Rob Lowe, years back. Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner wanted no superstars, so Ham landed it and blew up. The show packed the killer cast, including January Jones as Betty, John Slattery, Elizabeth
