Jon Hamm Took A Pay Cut So 'Confess, Fletch' Could Complete Filming

The first thing Jon Hamm heard about the upcoming second season of Good Omens was that he could film a nude scene for it.

Fox Sports is getting ready for the most wonderful time of the year — for soccer fans, at least.

Live from New York, it’s Rooster! Fresh off his Top Gun success, Miles Teller has made his hosting debut on Saturday Night Live — and he’s touting the military movie as comedic inspiration.

“Saturday Night Live” has undergone a lot of retooling over the summer — with a lot of castmembers exiting the show and four new actors signing on. So they made sure to address the slew of differences with a self-referential cold-open featuring the night’s host, Miles Teller.

With a smorgasbord of greatest hits past and perhaps present, Saturday Night Live went successfully mega-meta tonight in the sometime bubbling over cold open of its Season 48 debut.

Except instead of playing it straight, the Mannings — joined eventually by three-time host Jon Hamm playing himself — focused on how bad it and the various cast members were.“I don’t know” what it is, Hamm joked at one point, “But it’s not comedy.

has undergone a lot of retooling over the summer — with a lot of castmembers exiting the show and four new actors signing on. So they made sure to address the slew of differences with a self-referential cold-open featuring the night's host,Miles Teller.Teller played Payton Manning, joined by his brother Eli Manning (Andrew Dismukes), as they live-commented on the cold-open sketch, and brutally criticized the sketch.The bit got even more meta when Jon Hamm joined Payton and Eli as a special guest commentator and all three of them got in on the fun of making fun of the cast's gaffes in the sketch-within-a-sketch.At one point, Shawn White showed up for a one-line cameo and Hamm joked, «Well, you know, sometimes they need to bring in a real celebrity when the host isn't that famous… I mean, they couldn't get the star of the big summer movie, like, Tom Cruise or John Hamm, they had to get the costar.»Payton (again, played by Teller, the night's host) indignantly replied, «Well, I heard they rarely put the hosts in cold open, so when they do, it is special.»«Special? Or is it desperate?» Hamm shot back.By using the sketch-within-a-sketch conceit, the show managed to not only poke fun at themselves, they got a chance to introduce all the new castmembers while also ingratiating themselves to new audiences with a bit of self-deprecation.Now only time will tell how the new, remarkably smaller cast will gel over the course of the season.

Jon Hamm's role in "Bridesmaids" was legendary, but it turns out that he was only in the film as a favor to a friend. That friend? Kristen Wiig. In discussing his Ted character in the 2011 film on SiriusXM's "Pop Culture Spotlight with Jessica Shaw," Jon revealed that he signed on without a script, without a financial agreement or without even talking to his agents."I did that movie before there was a part, before there was a script, I said 'yes' to it. And [my] agents went, 'Oh, well, s***.

SiriusXM’s latest episode of “Pop Culture Spotlight with Jessica Shaw.” And that’s why he’s uncredited in the 2011 Paul Feig comedy, in which he opened the film with a hilarious sex scene with Wiig as her soon-to-be ex-boyfriend.The “Mad Men” star explained to Shaw that he simply couldn’t turn Wiig down after they hit it off during his “SNL” hosting stint. “We were in a couple sketches together and got along like a house on fire, and she said, ‘Will you please be in my movie? Please be in my movie.’ You know, nobody knew it was gonna be the global success that it was.

Emmy winner Jon Hamm seems like one of the good guys in Hollywood. In 2022, he gave up 60 percent of his salary to finance an extra three days of filming for the indie comedy Confess, Fletch which must mean he’s in a pretty secure position to make that sort of investment. Which leads fans to wonder what Jon Hamm’s net worth is and how much he made while filming Mad Men as Don Draper, one of his most legendary roles.

Getting the new “Fletch” sequel made took some sacrifice.

Zack Sharf How committed was Jon Hamm to getting “Confess, Fletch” made? Director Greg Mottola revealed to Uproxx (via IndieWire) that the “Mad Men” Emmy winner gave back 60 percent of his salary to help finance three extra days of filming on the indie project. Mottola also gave up a portion of his own salary to extend the shoot. According to Mottola, the money that Miramax executive Bill Block was able to put up for the film only covered 27 days of shooting. When Mottola and Hamm went out to find extra funding to bring the shoot to 30 days, they were rejected by every financier. “Everyone said, ‘I don’t know that this kind of comedy works in this day and age,'” Mottola said. “They just had a kind of like, ‘Who’s Fletch? I don’t think anyone cares anymore.’

Jon Hamm is setting the record straight! After years of chatter, the actor finally cleared the air on the rumor that he goes commando.

Jon Hamm has worn underwear "every single day of [his] life". The 51-year-old actor was previously the subject of rumours that the wardrobe department on 'Mad Men' had to force him to wear pants because his massive member was visible in the 1960s suits he wore on the show but he's insisted that's not true and he has never gone commando.

Naman Ramachandran Joachim Back’s “Corner Office,” featuring “Mad Men” star John Hamm, will open the 30th edition of London’s Raindance Film Festival (Oct. 26-Nov. 5). Austin Bragg and Meredith Bragg’s “Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game” will close the festival. To mark its 30th anniversary, Raindance will screen iconic independent films that had their U.K. premieres at the festival, including “Pulp Fiction,” “Memento,” “The Blair Witch Project” and “Oldboy.” Special screenings of new films include the world premiere of Stephen Moyer’s “A Bit of Light” (U.K.), starring Anna Paquin and Ray Winstone; director Moshe Rosenthal will take part in a Raindance masterclass and present the U.K. premiere of “Karaoke” (Israel); and the world premiere of Dilshad Husain’s British Asian feature “Banglatown.”
