May 8, at the premiere of Netflix Wine Counntry, in N-Y
SNL blah blah
The Harvard Lampoon celebrated the folks responsible for “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” on Thursday, and Cambridge didn’t even know what hit it. Jon Hamm, Jane Krakowski and Tituss Burgess — who all play lead characters on the Netflix hit — joined executive producers Robert Carlock and Sam Means for an over-the-top, honorary duck boat parade through Harvard Square, which seemed to successfully perplex students stuck in a final exam stupor and foreign tourists alike.

I sat down with both actors to talk about Good Omens at New York Comic Con. We talked about philosophy, math, parallel universes, and the benefits of being an optimist.
FanSided: How does the series resonate with our time?
Jon Hamm: “You couldn’t get a more polarized kind of antagonist [and] protagonist than heaven and hell. There’s not a lot of gray area between those two. And yet the two people at the center of our story kind of find that gray area. And in finding it, they realize that neither extreme is great. The middle–where we all live– the muddy middle, is the best, and they’d rather not see it destroyed. And I think that there’s probably a lesson to be taken away from there in the current political climate. Maybe we should find somewhere to live in the muddy middle rather than camping out on both ends and curling in something.”
To Hamm: What was it like being one of the few Americans in a British production?
Jon Hamm: “It’s funny, I had originally thought that Gabriel would be kind of like an upper class, posh Brit. And I pitched that to Neil, and he was like, ‘no, he should be American,’ and I was like, ‘OK.’“In many ways, it makes more sense. It’s fine, I’m not treated like a second class citizen.
Miranda Richardson: “You’re an honorary Brit, anyway (laughs).”
Do you prefer comedy or drama?
Miranda Richardson: “Comedy gives me the most sweats.“I think if you can do comedy, you can do anything. And has been said many times, the seeds of tragedy are in comedy. All of life is there. It’s sort of about the human condition, sort of the desperation, you know. Laurel and Hardy, desperate men. I just love it so. I would say that. But I try and find that connection in whatever I’m doing.”
Jon Hamm: “We’re both fortunate to have currency and capital on both sides of the aisle in a sense. Me, for getting famous for playing a brooding, kind of not so funny character. I could have been stuck in that world for some time. And then I was fortunate enough to be sort of ordained by Tina Fey and Lorne Michaels [on 30 Rock]… It’s certainly nice to do both.”
To Hamm: Gabriel has been described as a really annoying boss. Did you call on any particular experiences from life?
Jon Hamm: “I certainly have had my share of bosses that I just wish I could tell where to put it. You can’t tell Gabriel to go to hell (laughs)… My thing about it is that he’s got this preternatural confidence. And this idea that he’s so sure that what he’s doing is right. And there’s something kind of funny–if it’s in this context– but terrifying– if it’s in another context, of someone who’s so assured of what they’re doing is right, and they’re not…We also see a few people behaving like that these days.”
Escapism is huge right now. Why do you think that is?
Jon Hamm: “I think that’s the response to who we are. It’s a strange place to be right now.”
To Richardson: Do you believe in omens?
Miranda Richardson: “I sort of do. It depends on the day, but I sort of do. I will take what comes… If you talk to, for instance… the League of Gentleman, the British show, they debunk everything. They say nothing is supernatural… But you know, you shouldn’t be too sure. Director Nick Roeg believes in parallel universes. And I can kind of get that. Who are we to say that there’s one thing going on at any given time?”
Jon Hamm: “I agree. The universe is too vast and infinite for us to know to be certain about a lot of things. I’m certain about math, and most science… What I really enjoy about math is that it takes imagination to express it. If you think about the history of mankind and what it must have been like to look up at the first night and see the stars. And then over time, somebody cataloging those stars. Over time, somebody giving names to the shapes that they make. Over time now we’re in a place where they can truly determine what celestial things are moving, and how fast, and when they’ll hit us. That’s pretty impressive. That’s a pretty good track record for mankind.
“I’m an optimist. [referring to the current political climate] This too shall pass.”
