Kathy Griffin about Jon Hamm

If I win two Emmys, which I’m not going to, it will be just another thing I have in common with Kathy Griffin.” —Jon Hamm with ESPN’s Bill Simmons
                                                                                      
....then Jon Hamm from Mad Men showed up, I also love torture because he's actually in a fantasy football league with a friend of mine and I think fantasy football or fantasy of any kind are ridiculous because guess what they are fantasy it doesn't mean you're in the team, anyway I have to try to torture Jon Hamm because he's gorgeous and he's perfect to target for me but I don't think he's quite famous enough to be my new Ryan Seacrest, so one of the way I like to get under his skin is to tell him I will made fun of you more Jon you just not there.
                                       
                                                "Jon Hamm is a total douche..."
 
 
MORGAN: Now I heard you had a bit of a foxy dinner last night. 
GRIFFIN: You know, I -- OK, so I have A-list moments in my life.
MORGAN: Hang on. The (INAUDIBLE), you had dinner last night, a private dinner party with Jack Nicholson, Jon Hamm, Steve Martin --
GRIFFIN: Well, Jon Hamm isn't a real celebrity.
MORGAN: He's the biggest movie heartthrob out there.
GRIFFIN: Whatever.
MORGAN: Biggest movie heartthrob.
GRIFFIN: All right, who else?
MORGAN: Steve Martin.
GRIFFIN: Yes.
MORGAN: Funniest guy. Lord Michaels. Most brilliant producer and Jack Nicholson, my god, when it comes to movies. I mean literally.
GRIFFIN: No, he really is. He's a legend.

On her disdain for Jon Hamm, national crush object: "Jon Hamm? He’s a d—ebag. I’ve known him ever since he was a doctor in those sh—ty Lifetime movies." After telling a story about a dinner party at which he rubbed her the wrong way, she says, "I know it’s not popular to not love Don Draper but I’m just saying, he won an Emmy ’cause he was playing himself."

There's one person in Hollywood who doesn't think Jon Hamm is a golden boy. Kathy Griffin took a swing at him during her New York Comedy Festival show at Carnegie Hall, saying she "can't stand" the beloved "Mad Men" star. The caustic comic alleged that while she was chatting with Jack Nicholson at a party a few years ago, a drunken Hamm repeatedly whispered in her ear, "You're so old!"

Anyway – I have to say I loved her best when she was being opinionated without a punch line. Kate Winslet at the Emmys? Surprisingly C#$%y. Jon Hamm from Mad Men? An asshole, he is playing himself. Ashton Kutcher? She calls bullshit on him. He’s just not funny. And my favourite? Nancy Grace stopping Anderson Cooper in an elevator to show him her father’s underwear. That she was wearing.

NAUGHTY GOSSIP was in the audience as Kathy told stories about Eddie coming with a lot of baggage, however, what was most surprising was when she spoke about Mad Men Jon Hamm.
She hates him. Always has. Everyone in Hollywood loves Jon but she thinks he’s a nasty drunk, and she is no scared to say so – on stage!

In the new book, the 56-year-old recalls a celebrity-studded night at the home of the late Sue Mengers,  a high-powered Hollywood agent, when Jon Hamm, the star of Mad Men, entered the room.
'What are you doing here?' he scornfully asked Griffin.
'Hammy', as she calls him, knew her from when he used to hang out at comedy clubs.
He 'proceeded to get very drunk', she writes.
Back then at the dinner table, Griffin was seated between Hamm and actor Jack Nicholson.
Griffin recalls that Nicholson had just launched into a hilarious anecdote, imitating media mogul Rupert Murdoch, when Hamm started drunkenly 'yammering' in her ear.
'You know your Emmy isn't a real Emmy,' he said to her, exhaling 'boozy' breath.
Griffin, who's won two Emmy awards for her reality show, tried to shush him, but Hamm kept insulting her.
'Do you know how o-o-o-o old you look?' he sneered.
She writes: 'Nothing will convince me to like Jon Hamm.'

The comedienne says the rehab-vet got wasted at an A-list dinner.
 
The newly single star, 45, had just finished a day of filming Mad Men when he arrived at talent agent Sue Menger’s home for a small soiree of celebs including Jack Nicholson and of course, Griffin.
He proceeded to get very drunk during the coffee table portion, and then when it came for dinner, Sue had sat him next to me,” she says.
During a conversation with Nicholson, Hamm interrupted with “boozy yammering.”
First it was, ‘You know your Emmy isn’t a real Emmy,'” Griffin claims. “I let that one go, but then he whispered, ‘You’re so o-o-o-old.'”
Never one to take an insult, she says she snapped back: “You can’t keep up. You’re outclassed. Now zip it; Jack’s talking!”
Aside from the “cruel” comments, she was more disturbed by his “horrible timing” in causing a scene during her conversation with Nicholson.
And the man she calls a “nemesis” didn’t earn his title from one incident. Griffin claims she has known him since before his Mad Men days.
He’s one of these hot guys who’s mildly funny but actually thinks he’s comedian level funny,” she writes. “You know the type — there’s probably one in your office or family. He just reeks of that. It’s an entitled air. When Hammy wants to be funny, he’s, well, not.”
Of course, Hamm completed rehab after completing his famous drama in March 2015. But Griffin doesn’t think he can blame it all on the alcohol.
Hopefully done with the drunk, but probably still Don Draper-y,” she sighs

1. Jon Hamm and Ashton Kutcher aren’t the nicest people, like, at all.
 
Well, not everyone can be beautiful with a fantastic personality to match.
You’ll never convince me to like Jon Hamm,” Griffin writes of the Emmy-winning hunk, 45, in her book. “The vibe I’ve always gotten from him is cold and somewhat disrespectful … toward me. I’m suggesting he’s one of these hot guys who’s mildly funny but actually thinks he’s comedian-level funny.”
Case in point: At an intimate, very starry dinner party hosted by legendary talent agent Sue Mengers, Griffin had her sights set on getting to Jack Nicholson. “So when Hammy showed up, too, inside I thought, oh great,” she reveals. “He even said to me, ‘What are you doing here?’ I said, ‘I earned my seat at the table. What are you doing here?’”
It was only downhill from there, especially as the Mad Men actor continue to throw back his drinks. While Griffin was discussing Rupert Murdoch with Nicholson, “Hammy picks that moment … to start whispering boozy yammering into my ear,” she admits. “First it was, ‘You know your Emmy isn’t a real Emmy.’ I let that one go, but then he whispered, ‘You’re so o-o-o-old.’”
It’s not necessarily the insult that upset her, either, clarifies Griffin: “Look, I’ve been told I’m old and not funny by a lot of guys — a lot of hot guys, too — but not when I’m in an intimate conversation space with frickin’ Jack Nicholson, an opportunity I figured I’d never get again; that’s the real reason I can’t stand Hammy. The double whammy of cruel but not playful comments and the horrible timing. Again, he’s not a comedian, folks. Hopefully done with the drink, but probably still Don Draper-y.” (Hamm went to rehab in 2015 for alcohol addiction.)
