On the recent episode of The Jonathan Ross Show, Jon Hamm and James Corden had the audience in stitches with their hilarious anecdotes about their careers. Jon Hamm, known for his role as Don Draper in the hit show Mad Men, revealed that the final episodes have been filmed and will air in the spring of 2015. He also mentioned how difficult it has been to keep the ending under wraps, as he doesn’t want to ruin it for fans.
The conversation then took an interesting turn when James Corden brought up the fact that Jon Hamm has made a special Christmas episode for Channel 4’s Black Mirror. While not your typical feel-good holiday show, Jon Hamm explained how it fits into the tradition of spooky and disturbing Christmas stories, just like those written by Charles Dickens. He encouraged viewers to tune in to this clever and scary science fiction series.
Moving on to their early careers, Jon Hamm reflected on his journey to success and revealed that he gave himself a five-year window to make it as an actor. If he hadn’t become independent from part-time jobs and waiting tables by the time he turned 30, he would have considered it a sign to give up and head back home. James Corden shared his own experience, recalling a particularly interesting job as a set dresser on softcore porn sets, which involved more Windex and sanitary gel than he would have liked.
The conversation then took a humorous turn when James Corden mentioned that he was an actor in one of those films and joked about it being the worst job he had. James Corden also reminisced about his days as a waiter at Bella Pasta, where he would sometimes sample a bit of cheese from the pizzas before serving them. He even hilariously recounted an embarrassing incident involving a string of cheese from a pizza to his own mouth.
The dynamic between Jon Hamm and James Corden was evident throughout the interview, with James jokingly asking Jon if Americans sit at home because they don’t know who he is, to which Jon responded by inviting James to his house in LA. They also discussed Keith Lemon’s show, Through the Keyhole, and James expressed his excitement about Keith’s new comedy sketch show, where he portrays various celebrities.
As the interview wrapped up, James Corden confessed that he was genuinely looking forward to Keith Lemon’s sketch show, even more than anything else next year. He praised Keith for his talent and expressed his excitement for the show’s release in February.
It was an entertaining and lively conversation between Jon Hamm and James Corden on The Jonathan Ross Show, with hilarious anecdotes and playful banter. Fans of both celebrities will no doubt enjoy watching this episode and look forward to their upcoming projects.
