Jon Hamm named Sexiest Man Living by Salon.com
Posted by AMCtv.com on November 16, 2007

In their second annual feature, Salon.com has selected Mad Men's Jon Hamm as the Sexiest Men Living.

The Salon staff notes, "Watching AMC's "Mad Men" is a sensual feast. Matthew Weiner's devotion to getting 1960 right means we feel Joan's girdle and Peggy's scratchy dresses, taste the rye and the steak and the oysters, glory in the pastels of Betty's peignoirs; our eyes water at the end of every episode from all that cigarette smoke. The sexual politics are remarkable; the sex is even more interesting, and the hot center of it all is Jon Hamm, who plays Sterling Cooper creative director Don Draper, haunted, predatory, at the top of his game, miserable."

That's a great write-up. "At the top of his game, miserable." It's true.

The show should just be called "Sex."

It's interesting that the twin constellations of carnal desire--Don and Joan--rarely cross orbit. Too explosive?

That's a wish list item for season two.
