Tina Fey goes "Mad" for Jon Hamm

by
Dorothy Snarker

Women love Jon Hamm. It's true. In fact, I think straight women spontaneously start to ovulate at the very sight of Don Draper in his immaculately-tailored suit. They tell me it's just an innate biological response. And while I get it, I don't get it for, well, obvious reasons. But then I realized I was just needed to contextualize their obsession in a way I could understand. Jon Hamm is to straight women as Rachel Maddow is to lesbians. Ohhh, now I totally get it.

So, imagine my delight then to hear that Jon will appear as Tina Fey's potential love interest on 30 Rock beginning tonight. My God, there's something for everyone on this show. Straight women, gay women, straight men, gay men and — thanks to Alec Baldwin — even the bears.

Really, I cannot think of a more genius move than to have the star of the best drama on television and the star of the best comedy on television join forces. And if this clip is any indication, it's like we've died and gone to fan-fic heaven.

And even cuter is seeing Tina and Jon talk about each other. Apparently you need to make an eclipse peep hole to look at Jon for fear of damaging your retinas from all the handsome.

Plus, I think Don Draper has a crush on Liz Lemon. I mean, did he just blush? Heck, I think that even almost made me spontaneously ovulate.

Also, Tina's dress is making me do something and it definitely ain't ovulating. Though, umm, it may involve a similar region.

Though, now that I think about it, the great Liz Lemon/Don Draper isn't quite the perfect fan-fic fantasy. No, the perfect fan-fic fantasy would be Liz Lemon/Joan Holloway. Talk about your I want to go to there.

Catch Jon's appearance on 30 Rock at 9:30 tonight on NBC. Dream about Liz and Jon Joan for the rest of your natural born life.

    Here is what I don't understand...why the media acts like Jon Hamm came from out of nowhere to this role on Mad Men.

    Before Mad Men there was this great show called The Division with Bonnie Bedelia, Nancy McKeon, Lisa Vidal...and Jon Hamm.

    Before The Division there was Providence starring Melina Kanakaredes...Jon Hamm had a supporting role.

    And Jon Hamm even played Lorelai's boring date Peyton.

    It must be the suit and the haircut that got him all the attention.

    lol

    So I'm not the only who remembers the Division? Everytime I see him I want to yell "Its Nate!" I loved that show.

    Did you know that Jon Hamm is Jennifer Westfeldt's (aka Jessica Stein) boyfriend?  He appeared in one scene in KJS as the guy Jessica thinks is her set-up, but who has already met someone "pretty special" who is NOT Jessica (thus nudging her closer to Helen's arms).  Anyway, they have both gone on to television careers, although his is apparently in the stratosphere while "Notes from the Underbelly" was not renewed.

    snarker: here's a little challenge for you: how many un-Maddow-related articles can you put Rachel Maddow in during the next month? I will be very proud of you if you can do it in at least 5 that would otherwise not include her. will you take me up on my challenge? :) <3@amf7

    I LOVE Tina Fey!

    I developed a crush on her after I first saw her on mean girls haha. And call me crazy, but I always thought Lindsay & Tina (before Lindsay mat Samantha) had chemistry..

    MAN I wish Tina was gay <333

    Liz Lemon + Joan Holloway=TOO HOT.

    Don't even put those thoughts in my head.

    And I LOVED the episode...so hilarious. Can't wait to see where that goes.
