Despite popular belief, you can have a strong jawline and still do comedy well, and the SNL writers and cast took advantage of that during Jon Hamm’s fourth hosting stint last night. The actor, known for Bridesmaids (and also Mad Men), first hosted in 2008 and twice in 2010. In contrast to his role in Mad Men, he surprised us with his comedic ease and willingness to be silly or even gross (Jon Hamm’s John Ham, anyone? Pat Finger for City Council?). His comfort with the 2008-2010 cast seemed to have helped, too, and with 15 years passing since the last hosting gig, I wondered what the dynamic would be now with the current cast.
Hamm’s return last night ended up being one of the stronger…
