Tina Fey Asked Lorne Michaels If Jon Hamm Was ‘a D–k’ Before She Cast Him In ’30 Rock’: ‘Let Me Know If He’s Funny’


Tina Fey asked Lorne Michaels if Jon Hamm was 'a d--k' before she casted him on '30 Rock.'

“I remember calling or emailing Lorne and saying, ‘Let me know if he’s funny because we have a part coming up on ’30 Rock’ that would be great for him.’ And also to make sure you weren’t a dick.” “That was such a fun moment for me too, because I remember coming back down to the host dressing room at ‘SNL,’ and the phone rang,” Hamm said. In Season 3 of “30 Rock,” Hamm played the recurring guest role of Drew Baird, a blossoming love interest of Fey’s Liz Lemon.
