Gilmore Girlaholics will recognize
most of this image as it appeared
in an episode entitled
But Lorelai's date
—being greeted at the door—
gets a backstage view
of the image
"The most handsome man"
Lorelai had ever dated
was also the most boring
and he was blessed with
an elephantine ego
This Season Three episode
originally aired in 2002
Lorelai's date
is portrayed by Jon Hamm
who is also seen observing
the scene
According to
the actor was totally disgusted
with his portrayal as
"the handsome guy"
I need to play a character
who is all mystery and mastery
like a Mafia DON
or a one-legged
window DRAPER.
I feel like such a wienie
always getting cast as
"the handsome guy"
but I don't want to be
a whiner
because it pays the bills
:::
The next thing you know
—between the wienie
and the whiner—
contacts the Hamm
named Jon
and Matthew says
I want to cast you
as a most brilliant and
villainous advertising man
That's a mad idea,
replies Jon
Terrific,
exclaims Matthew,
We'll call it

Mad Men
premiered on
The rest is history

Here is where your playmate, Irony,
ReplyDeleteis definitely wearing high heel sneakers:
Alexis Bledel had as much screen time on MAD MEN
as Jon Hamm had on GILMORE GIRLS.
On her Mad Men episode, the 2nd-in-command Gilmore Girl
meets the 2nd-in-command "brilliant and diabolical" character,
Pete Campbell.
In real life...Alexis Bledel and Vincent Kartheiser got married
and are together to this day.
