Jon Hamm talked about his hit series Mad Men during a recent interview. The 53-year-old actor participated in a roundtable discussion with The Hollywood Reporter.

That’s my day job.’” How did he counteract that? “That’s why, for me, it was a very conscious decision to lean into the comedic stuff that I wanted to do, whether it was 30 Rock or SNL or fill in the blank, because I knew I had [the dramatic stuff] going. That train had left the station very successfully,” he said. Is there any chance that Jon would star in Mad Men if it were rebooted? At this time, he said no. “Part of it is that there’s no story to tell. We ran out of story,” he admitted. However, he wasn’t totally going to rule it out: “No, obviously, you never say never. But [the way we ended the series] felt satisfying to me. And I think it was very satisfying to the audience as well. I’m happy with the way that [the show] lives in my life, and I would love it to stay there.”
