Howard is the absolute Master at interviewing. I've never heard a better interviewer.

I miss Howard interviews. I forgot how funny and how good he is at these things. More YouTube downloads please.

This is the best Jon Hamm interview I have ever heard. And wouldn't you know it would be Howard to pull out the real talk. He is so excellent at that. I found myself tearing up at the talk of Jon's childhood. I had heard the story before, but not in such a conversation like this.

Mad Men is an all time classic. That series could not be cast any better. It will be my forever favourite series. Everything about that show was art.

A great actor and he seems so humble. He's very good in Friends and Neighbors.

Mad Men. I’ve loved many shows, but this one will be forever my #1, no question. I thought Hamm was Don Draper until he started appearing on SNL. Hamm’s a perfect name for him, just hilarious.
