The Emmy voting window is closed, which means NBC can re-unveil the promos they had to pull when Mad Men’s competition cried “No fair!” Check them out here!
The promos feature Emmy host Jimmy Fallon as he spoofs Mad Men alongside series star Christina Hendricks. According to the Hollywood Reporter, NBC ran the promos last week but received some backlash from Mad Men’s Emmy nominated rivals who didn’t appreciate NBC’s Mad Men favortism while voting was still underway. NBC pulled the ads until today as the ballots are officially closed. Below are two of them, both of which start out the same but have different endings.
Given the state of Jon Hamm’s character this season (so far), I’d say Fallon’s blundering version of the usually suave, cool-as-a-cucumber Don Draper could almost be seen as an upgrade from the frequently disoriented and often inebriated Don Draper of Season 4.
The 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards will air on Sunday, August 29th on NBC.
