Its like an owl without a graduation cap!

I love TV.  A lot.  This comes as no surprise to anyone, I don't think.  Tonight I was reading Entertainment Weekly, and came across a startling confession from Jon Hamm (purveyor of Jon Hamm's John Ham). He auditioned for the role of Jack Donaghy on 30 Rock.  Wow.  In the interest of full disclosure, I must admit that I love both 30 Rock and Mad Men.  However, to think that the same man had the chance to play two of my favorite TV characters floors me.  

Here is what I like about Don Draper on Mad Men:  He is able to drink and smoke at work all of the time without either habit negatively impacting his job performance.  He has a secret, shameful past that makes the ladies want him.  He wears suits.  Best of all, you too can be like Don Draper.

Here is what I like about Jack Donaghy on 30 Rock:  He is friends with Liz Lemon.  He also wears suits.  For a high level GE executive, his life is terribly out of control on the things that matter.  His mother hates him.  He tried to kill Jerry Seinfeld.
