Tina Fey, Jon Hamm Reflect on Careers, Collaborations

Jon Hamm is set to return to television in his first leading role since 'Mad Men' with the upcoming Apple TV+ series 'Your Friends & Neighbors,' where he plays a hedge fund manager turned burglar. The show, drawing comparisons to 'Breaking Bad' but focusing on affluent characters, has already been confirmed for a second season. In a recent interview with Tina Fey for Interview Magazine, Hamm reflected on their history, including his memorable role as Dr. Drew Baird on '30 Rock,' which he secured after Fey checked with SNL's Lorne Michaels to ensure he was both funny and easy to work with. Fey recalled her concerns about Hamm being difficult to collaborate with, emphasizing the importance of enjoyable partnerships in the industry. Their chemistry has led to multiple collaborations, including the upcoming 'Mean Girls' remake. As Hamm prepares for his return to 'SNL' after many years, both actors express excitement about their ongoing professional relationship.
