The 30 Rock Emmy winner—who wisely finds every available opportunity to work Mad leading man Jon Hamm into the show (including the upcoming live outing)—has now tapped his costar, John Slattery, to guest-star, sources confirm to me exclusively.
I’m told Slattery will play a candidate running for congress in this season’s seventh episode.
Speaking of Slattery, how awesome was he on last night’s MM? Discuss below.
Guess he really looks like a politician huh? (Sex and the City)
I hate this show.
Sex and the City, Desperate Housewives, and now this. Apparently the man really looks like a politician.
Hopefully they’ll make a meta joke about that…
He’s copying Jon Hamm, what a loser!
You’re an idiot.
He also played Senator Walter Mondale on the HBO docudrama, “From the Earth to the Moon.”
Tina rocks!
Can’t wait.
Seriously, what is the freaking connection between Mad Men and SNL. Cast members are marrying/dating each other and now three of the Mad Men cast members have appeared on SNL connected shows (one of them on two shows, ie. Hamm). Not that I care, it is a marriage made in heaven, but still, what gives?
pretty sure it’s that they all work in television in NYC, but I could be wrong
Best Comedy on TV, meet Best Drama on TV *cue mutual swooning*
Actually, the Moss, Hendrickson and Slattery all appeared on Jon Hamm’s first SNL appearance.
He is seriously sexy as hell! Silver Hair Fox! Then again there are times I think of his character on SATC and the golden shower fetish but other than that he is a sexy. I would love William Peterson to guest star on 30 Rock. I miss seeing his scruffy adorable face. Yes, another man I think is sexy. He is that smart quiet sexy. The same I felt about Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Yeah, go ahead and make fun of me but the smart sexy is very attractive to me.
That’s too funny, I’m like in love with all three of those guy too. So sexy!
And after why not Tina Fey on Mad Men ??? She will be awesome !
That would be awesome. I’d like to see her as a friend or cousin of Peggy.
How about Joyce’s lover?
Great idea. Love it!
Love it!
nobody works a cocktail dress like Tina Fey…she is a stone fox
And my worlds collide! Hooray!
Awesome! Although I wish he and Jon Hamm could guest in the same episode together, that would be cool.
Loving 30 Rock so far this season!
Match made in Heaven! Can’t wait! Love John Slattery!
I recall Tina saying once that she’s a big Friday NIght Lights fan too… Would love it if she could work Kyle Chandler (or anyone from FNL) into the show–I’m sure he’d be hilarious and charming!
that would make me soooo happy. maybe connie britton could be jenna’s sister?
AH both would be amazing! They’re both so funny in real life.
I’ve never forgiven him for taking Julie Bowen away from “Ed”
Uh, IIRC, Tina Fey no longer works for SNL. She shows up every once in a while, but I can’t see her having casting decisions. Seth Meyers is the current head writer, Tina’s former position on the show.
why did I read that as he was going to be on SNL, not 30 Rock?
The synergy between SNL and 30 Rock is obvious. Tina Fey often borrows cast members for character parts, she shows up on SNL 2-3 times a year, and they are both Lorne Michaels productions. So yes, whether SNL or 30 Rock, there is a lot of crossover to Mad Men’s main cast.
Meh. Why not have the entire MM cast on at this rate?
