Jon Hamm is always game to make fun of himself, and since he's an attractive person, we should hate him for that. Alas, it is endearing. Well played, Draper. On "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson," Hamm was forced to discuss that clip of him on a '90s game show called "The Big Date" (hosted by Mark L. Walberg, of course), and he seems pretty at peace with his old Jordan Catalano hair and attitude. You can also tell he resents whoever uploaded it to YouTube, though. And I kind of like that angst.

At this point, we take for granted the fact that Jon Hamm is pretty much the most handsome, most charming, funniest man currently living. But apparently that wasn't always the case.
Back in the misfit '90s, Hamm showed up on a dating show called "The Big Date" (courtesy of Vulture -- and, seriously, thank you). And, spoiler alert, he had really floppy hair.
The year was 1996 and the show, hosted by Mark L. Walberg, is a painful relic of a bygone era (even the camera movements seem covered in dust). In his segment, Hamm uses the word "fabulous" to an insane degree, summing up the evening as "a night of total fabulosity." Uh, if you say so Jon. It should probably come as no surprise that he gets passed over twice...
But this story has a happy ending, because Jon's life today really is fabulous (and he's been with...

Long before Jon Hamm played the always-smooth Don Draper onscreen, he was trying to woo ladies on dating shows as a 25-year-old waiter. And there’s video to prove it.
Buzzfeed recently discovered that Hamm was once on The Big Date, a series in which a woman picks one of three bachelors after hearing their date ideas. On this episode, the lucky lady was Mary, who revealed to host Mark Walberg (not that Mark Wahlberg – if only!) that she has a foot fetish. Uh, okay.
Hamm was into the foot fetish thing, though, and even offered to indulge her desires...

The worst decision you've ever made doesn't compare to the two women who Did Not pick Jon Hamm on a dating show waaaaay before he hit it big.

Walberg, who now hosts "Antiques Roadshow." The folks at Lighthearted Entertainment unearthed this clip where...
