We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

Actor Jon Hamm's (Mad Men's Don Draper, obviously) secret has started to slip out over the last few years. The handsome, Emmy-nominated thespian is hilarious.

Hamm was a recent guest on Never Not Funny, the highly successful comedy (audio and video) podcast hosted by stand-up Jimmy Pardo (LAist Interview,) and produced by Matt Belkap. The rapid-fire three-way banter reveals that, while Pardo has legendary timing and quickness (to which Belknap makes a great compliment,) Hamm's comedy chops are enough to earn him comedic leading-man consideration.

As a gift to the universe, Never Not Funny is releasing this special show for free (via iTunes or here.) “It gives people a chance to see Jon being Jon -- funny, charming... Hell, even his voice is handsome,” said Pardo.
