Travel Man: 48 Hours in Hong Kong :26 December, Channel 4, 20:00
Richard Ayoade and Hamm in a trip to Hong Kong. The duo will enjoy a ‘faux festive’ mini-break in Hong Kong, where they sample ‘unrecognisable dishes,’ have bespoke suits made and get involved with Tai Chi.
AMC Networks-backed streamer Sundance Now is set to launch a documentary film about life in the circus produced by Mad Men’s Jon Hamm and exec produced by Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe.
Circus Kid will premiere exclusively on the service on December 21 and documents life growing up in a circus family, following famed performer Lorenzo Pisoni’s unique childhood.
The film is produced by Hamm, Jennifer Westfeldt and Eden Wurmfeld, directed by Pisoni and executive produced by Radcliffe and Karen Lehner.
It was made by US-based Points West Production in association with Eden Wurmfeld Films and Pro Media.

The film boasts impressive show business credits, starting with executive producer, actor Daniel Radcliffe, and local singer/songwriter, Karen Lehner. Sarah Dusseault, Jon Hamm, Jennifer Westfeldt, Eden Wormfeld, William Rexer II, and Lorenzo are listed as producers. As the film’s promotional website explains, Westfeldt met Pisoni in 2013 when the two played opposite each other in The Explorers Club at Manhattan Theater Club. She was instantly captivated by his life story. “It was completely incongruous to me that this straight-laced, terrific actor who looks like Clark Kent grew up juggling, flying through the air, and tap-dancing in a gorilla suit! I couldn’t stop asking questions,” said Westfeldt.
Hamm and William Rexer were similarly taken with Pisoni’s family history. “Every kid wants to please his father. Not every kid had to learn how to fall down a flight of stairs to do that,” Hamm said.

Lorenzo Pisoni about the documentary Circus Kid
Q: You have some heavy hitters on producers. You have Jon Hamm and Daniel Radcliffe. How’d that come about.
Q: You have some heavy hitters on producers. You have Jon Hamm and Daniel Radcliffe. How’d that come about.
A: Dan Radcliffe, he and I did a play together in New York a few years back and we got to be very close, Equus. I carried Dan around for eight months while Warner Brothers told me I couldn’t drop him because he still had two more movies to make. He and I became very close I think partly because of the whole child performer thing. He became like my little brother. When I started out doing this I said, “I’m doing this crazy thing. I don’t know if I should do it. I don’t know if anybody will ever see it. What am I doing?” “If I can help, let me know.” So I got to a point and I needed some help and I said, “Hey, do you want to help?” And then Jon and Jennifer Westfeldt, I was doing another play with Jennifer Westfeldt, they were an item at the time. This is all her fault. I didn’t want to do this at all. She said it should be a documentary. She said we should do it. She took me out to dinner with Jon and said, “Hey, let’s make this into a thing.” And I said, “That sounds like a terrible idea.” And that’s how that worked. It was through Jen and Jon that the DP, William Rexer, became the DP and he’s done all sorts of crazy things. I was the least experienced and the person who should not be directing–except that it was my story. It was an amazing experience.

TV show?
I’m watching Mad Men at the moment. I’m on the third season and really enjoying it. Jon Hamm holds the show well; he’s like an old Clark Gable-type of actor, the look of him. The series isn’t like Breaking Bad where you can easily define what it’s about – it’s just about an era, the way they spoke, the way they behaved, sexism: it was male-dominated world, though many would argue it still is.

How was working Jon Hamm and Jamie Foxx?
Both were fantastic. I first met Jon in 2008 when he was hosting Saturday Night Live and I happened to be backstage. He’s a huge comedy fan and we became friends, so I wrote the part for him. When Jamie was suggested, I wasn’t sure he’d be up for a supporting role, but he really responded to the script and loved how musical it was. Then Quentin Tarantino called him and said, “You should do Edgar’s film”, which sealed the deal.
Jane Fonda was fêted at a “pre-celebration” for her upcoming 80th birthday, sources tell Page Six, at the chic Holmby Hills, Los Angeles.......
In a toast to Fonda, whose birthday is Thursday, Smith declared, “80 is the new 20” to roaring applause from a crowd that included Sally Field, Brie Larson, Diane Keaton and Marcia Gay Harden.

The 2017 campaign was one of the financial services company’s most successful national marketing and advertising campaigns, said Kathy Collins, H&R Block’s chief marketing and strategy officer.
H&R Block will kick off the 2018 tax season with a fresh take on its 2017 campaign, Get Your Taxes Won. The campaign illustrates that the concept of winning at tax time is in finding all the credits and deductions taxpayers are entitled to for the best outcome.
The campaign features the return of actor Jon Hamm, as H&R Block’s spokesperson. Eight new broadcast spots were created that center on Hamm in a variety of behind-the-scenes scenarios on a film set.
“The Get Your Taxes Won campaign was overwhelmingly a fan favorite and one of our most successful national marketing and advertising campaigns,” said Kathy Collins, H&R Block’s chief marketing and strategy officer. “When we saw the early positive engagement and strong response from consumers we made the decision right away to co-create with Jon again and he was all in.”
...................................
The campaign kicked off in early December with one spot promoting the availability of H&R Block’s interest-free loan product, Refund Advance. The main campaign launches January 1 with additional national broadcast buys and digital and social programming scheduled in cadence of H&R Block’s product roll outs throughout the season. Collins said ads will also air during the NFL playoffs, ESPN College Football Playoffs, March Madness and the Winter Olympics.
about a pic of hockey player Bobby Orr
“That picture, it’s probably one of the top five photographs in sports journalism — not just hockey,” said actor Jon Hamm of “Mad Men” fame, a longtime Blues fan from St. Louis. “It’s amazing. It captures the whole thing. It’s Bobby Orr’s commitment. He’s horizontal to the ice, it’s the winning goal, it’s the whole thing.”

review of Travel Man
There’s something cathartic about watching Richard Ayoade and Jon Hamm interact in Channel 4’s Travel Man Christmas special, which was filmed in not-so-festive Hong Kong earlier this year.
The two are starkly different: Ayoade, the neurotic who gets queasy on every single mode of transport; Hamm, a walking embodiment of the masculine ideal – well built, unfathomably handsome, unshaken While it’s clear what role these two would have filled on the playground, there is a distinct difference here: on Travel Man, Ayoade is the alpha male, often cutting the Mad Men star down with sharp one liners and rebuffing his attempts to join in on the banter: “If I wanted to book Jim Carrey, we would have booked Jim Carrey,” he tells Hamm after an earnest attempt at a gag, “We tried to book Jim Carrey actually..”
In truth, Ayoade knows that Hamm’s earnestness makes him a much better comedy partner than Carrey. Ayoade can sharpen his claws and prey (in jest) upon his weaknesses, like his evident desire to move into comedic roles (see 2016 flop Keeping up with the Joneses).
Along the way, Ayoade bounces off his travel companion, picking fun at his TV show – likening an eccentric tai chi session to the ambiguous series finale of Mad Men – and littering his conversation with British pop culture references (Peter Andre, Ross Kemp, the Cheeky Girls) which, rather understandably, fall upon deaf ears.
Unfazed by all of the gags sent his way, Hamm is a delight, and he grows increasingly confident about cracking jokes as he shakes off his jetlag (he had flown 16 hours from LA for a 2 day trip).
Over the course of the episode they take in some beautiful scenery, eat some odd stuff (one word: tongues), and build a fine friendship that will last, in our minds at least, far beyond the faux Christmas special.
