his shocking hazing past with an outraged indignance responding furiously when a reporter dared to ask him about it Hamm's alleged treatment of fraternity pledge Mark Sanders at the University of Texas in Austin has gone largely undiscussed for years Hamm has never apologized publicly and insisted previously that Sanders' claims were 'sensationalized' and not entirely 'accurate' The shocking account resurfaced this week amid renewed calls for him to face public scrutiny When the Daily Mail contacted Hamm by phone Wednesday it's a very odd choice for you to call me,' he snapped 'They are claims that have been around for years 'I'm a little bit offended that you called my personal line that's why we have representatives,' he said Hamm was later spotted looking pensive while walking his dog in New York City Jon Hamm (pictured in New York City on Wednesday) was upset when contacted by the Daily Mail and asked about a horrific hazing incident from his college days   The Mad Men star was accused of beating a pledge for Sigma Nu at the University of Texas at Austin in 1990 Sanders previously gave an agonizing interview to prosecutors about how he was beaten with a paddle dragged around a room by his genitals and had his pants set on fire during the hazing ordeal He was left with a fractured spine and nearly lost a kidney due to the damage he sustained 'He hits me right over my right kidney,' Sanders said of Hamm And that stood me up,' Sanders said in an interview with Travis County's Attorney's Office for the criminal case Sanders described being forced into a dirty confined area known as 'the pit' and ordered to do press ups He alleged that Hamm and another frat member then violently yanked his underwear up and began moving it back and forth in a painful 'sawing' motion 'I was hurting really bad and I remember I was looking up at the ceiling and I was gritting my teeth and squinting my eyes .. it was sawing and it was hurting,' Sanders said He claimed that Hamm then took out a lighter and torched the belt loop on his jeans Hazing victim Mark Sanders was hit so hard during the warped 1990 initiation that he suffered a fractured spine and nearly lost a kidney Hamm was charged with assault which was dismissed The hazing victim Mark Allen Sanders (pictured in 2015) has never spoken about his ordeal and is now a successful Texas lawyer   I see him light the lighter and put it to my pants I actually tried to put it out with my hands He also described how Hamm allegedly took out a claw hammer and hooked it under his genitals before dragging him around a room Hamm was arrested for alleged assault in 1993 The actor went on to become a huge star in 60s advertising drama Mad Men and is currently winning rave reviews for his performance in Apple TV+ drama Your Friends & Neighbors Allegations of the hazing first resurfaced in 2015 just as the final season of Mad Men was airing a 'source' close to Hamm told Star magazine that the hazing horror was 'an isolated incident in Jon's life.' he's been strong enough to take steps to make him a better person,' the source added But there was no sign of any introspection when Hamm was asked about the incident by Esquire magazine in a 2018 interview Journalist Maximillian Potter said Hamm's tone became 'tinged with anger' when the subject was broached with the actor snapping: 'I hope I didn't sign up for a hit piece.' he said Hamm 'bristled' before unleashing a stream of self-serving invective 'I wouldn’t say it’s accurate,' Hamm began with Hamm going on to land plum parts in prestige movies and TV shows including Top Gun: Maverick and The Morning Show But earlier this week, DailyMail.com columnist Maureen Callahan resurfaced the scandal in her new podcast The Nerve, which is part of Megyn Kelly's new MK Media venture Callahan said she'd been shocked to see Hamm receive plaudits for his Apple TV+ show Your Friends & Neighbors and land plum spots on SNL and Jimmy Fallon Hamm was with moviemaker ex-girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt for 18 years She was credited with helping build Hamm's career but the couple split in 2015  (Pictured together in 2014) Hamm quickly shacked up with a far younger actress called Anna Osceola when he was 44 and she was 27 The couple wed in 2023 (pictured together in 2024)  Callahan detailed the hazing incident Hamm was involved in and said it was shocking he'd escaped unscathed while the likes of Kevin Spacey and Alec Baldwin had seen their careers destroyed by scandals only played a 'douche' and that his rage was 'barely-concealed' on screen Callahan also highlighted how Hamm's talented moviemaker ex-girlfriend Jennifer Westeldt had helped build his career while the actor spoke about not wanting to get married and how he'd avoided having children But Hamm shacked up with a far younger actress called Anna Osceola in 2015 when he was 44 and she was 27 The couple wed in 2023 and now live together in a modern $4 million house in the Hollywood Hills Hamm said he was now open to having children Hamm went to rehab to be treated for alcoholism in 2015 as Mad Men concluded Hazing victim Sanders has never spoken publicly about the abuse he suffered during the hazing incident Several other students involved in the incident were given jail time The fraternity's chapter was also disbanded at the University of Texas following the

I'm pleased that Tropper takes the show someplace subtler juggling the truth that his hero can be at once a wounded soul with whom one often identifies AND a self-centered man who oozes entitlement to his discovery that the world's unfair — only after it's been unfair to him It's a perfect role for Hamm, who carries with him our memories of Don Draper's dark-souled charisma then takes this sort of character in a new direction — funnier Although Coop starts out as a self-described jerk his character grows wiser and more self-aware as the episodes unfold robbery is a risky business that requires expertise more than self-knowledge "Nothing is so dangerous as somebody who doesn't know what they don't know." today's suburbs are undeniably better than they once were They're less exclusively white and the wives have fulfilling careers Tropper offers little of the tender lyricism that makes Cheever's suburbs so seductive It's not just that Coop's world is more grossly materialistic than before — with Rolls Royces and 40-grand bottles of wine — but that its denizens are far more cut off from one another and from any sense of nobler values Johnny Hake steals $900 from a friend and spends the story feeling guilty and ashamed that he's become a thief In the far flashier Your Friends & Neighbors Nor does the show judge him harshly for his thefts Become an NPR sponsor Taking his first lead in a prestige TV drama since Mad Men nuanced form in a very funny show – which could use a little more bite He has mostly been busy with comedy roles in the intervening years he returns to the type of part that made his name: era-specific masculinity under siege from a prestige production bent on feeding us our own horrors back to us in chunks This time it is about the fall from grace of a New York hedge fund manager but one who loves his kids and really is who he says he is The opening scene has Cooper coming to on a marble floor at the bottom of a Dynasty-esque staircase He scrambles out of the pool of blood surrounding him There isn’t actually a record-scratch and he doesn’t say: “I guess you’re wondering how I got here,” but that’s the gist since discovering his wife having an affair with his close friend and NBA All-Star Nick (Mark Tallman) He lives in a rental and away from his kids his Maserati and lots and lots of money coming in Then a (genuinely) slight indiscretion with a younger female employee gives Cooper’s boss the excuse he needs to sack him and nab his client and capital accounts for himself But as Cooper’s need to meet expenses grows until we loop back to our man waking up on the marbled floor in a pool of blood and take things again from there and an outstanding Olivia Munn as Mel’s friend and Coop’s secret booty call If it really engaged with the power and privilege at play when Cooper and his former maid start working together and interrogated the workings of capitalism instead of seeming half in love with the rich and their trappings There is a pulse of anger beating away underneath Or it could have stripped things down to the bare bones and been a very serviceable cat-and-mouse thriller with Cooper and the police – or whoever else – trying to outwit each other Instead you find yourself wishing Hamm had waited just a little longer and returned in greater triumph Your Friends & Neighbours is on Apple TV+ This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page Here's where members of the cast like Jon Hamm are now L'OFFICIEL digs into the hottest couple at the moment  L'OFFICIEL dives into the relationship timeline of one of Hollywood's most beloved young celebrity couples See every red carpet look from fashion's biggest night See who showed some skin at the 2025 Met Gala like Sabrina Carpenter and Emma Chamberlain The actor made a bold chop for the 2025 Met Gala carpet Take a look at the best dressed celebrities from the 2025 Met Gala The Blackpink star and Chanel muse turned heads with a jumpsuit that some are calling her most stunning Met Gala look yet The rapper has quickly become a fashion favorite—and at the 2025 Met Gala she cemented her status as the night’s breakout style star The Formula 1 driver took his talents from the race track to the red carpet to co-chair tonight's event expertly crafted to make you feel both good and bad about yourself I think all day—I don’t want to think with my feet kicked up on the couch at 9 PM on a Tuesday night a few new prestige shows have entered the ring They both air on the Apple TV+ streaming service; only one is actually good Something about the whole thing just doesn’t work but maybe the production value and big-name guest stars keep people tuning in as we all know the options are mind-numbingly stacked to the ceiling but these two shows are both worth the attention Reality Shows Are The Thinking Person’s TV (2024) What Fargo Season Five and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Have in Common (2024) When Coop from the new Apple TV+ series lifted a bottle from a chef friend's cellar Wine lovers and collectors watching the new Jon Hamm vehicle Your Friends & Neighbors on Apple TV+ took note of a very special cameo in episode 3: A bottle of white Burgundy When Hamm’s character Andrew “Coop” Cooper—a hedge fund manager who has turned to robbing his rich neighbors to support his lifestyle after he loses his job—pilfers a bottle of wine from a friend who is a successful chef it’s the sort of rarity that raises eyebrows even among people used to rare wines Coop is checking out the contents of the chef’s house while the owners are out but then his friend’s wife comes home unexpectedly—with her daughter's boyfriend!—forcing Coop to hide in a walk-in wine cellar When the wife and boyfriend start having sex on the couch picks it up and sneaks out while the couple is distracted The bottle is the grand cru Domaine d'Auvenay Chevalier-Montrachet 2013, which Coops says retails for $32,000 a bottle. During a quick montage of vineyards and the Burgundy estate’s owner, he explains the vineyards for the wine are farmed biodynamically which he says is “horseshit” that makes “pretentious” enophiles pay tens of thousands for a bottle (He is right that plenty of manure is involved in biodynamic farming as compost to improve soil health.) Domaine d’Auvenay is a winery in the prestigious French region of Burgundy in the prime vineyard area known as the Côte d’Or (or the “Golden Slope”) The Côte d’Or is divided into two sections: the Côtes de Nuits in the north and the Côte de Beaune in the south The Burgundians have had somewhere around 2,000 years of winegrowing to study, determine and name the best sites for growing wine grapes—right down to small parcels. The Chevalier-Montrachet (“Knight of Montrachet”) bottling comes from a roughly 18-acre vineyard in the southern tip of the Côte de Beaune in the commune of Puligny-Montrachet. This area is best known for its white wines, made from Chardonnay Keep reading and you can impress the sommelier next time you dine out at a fancy restaurant! Chevalier-Montrachet is one of five grands crus—that’s the most prestigious designation in Burgundy for a vineyard site—on the hill of Montrachet and one of only two completely within the boundaries of Puligny-Montrachet thin marl-limestone soils (Burgundians like to talk a lot about their soils even more than most winegrowers); above it is forest and below it are the grands crus Montrachet and Batard-Montrachet below that These sites make some of the most elite white wines in the world Other famous names that make wine from Chevalier-Montrachet include Bouchard Père & Fils That's a lot of wineries for about 18 acres of land the domaine has only 0.4 acres to work with Now you get an idea of the wine’s scarcity and why it can be so expensive d’Auvenay’s total annual production of all its wines has hovered between only 350 and 500 cases in which her family bought a stake back in 1942 Bize-Leroy holds a portfolio of premiers crus and grands crus throughout Burgundy, and the wines, red and white, rank among the best in the world—able to be cellared for decades, even close to a century. Her style is built around low yields in the vineyards relying on native yeasts for fermentation and maturing the wines in new oak concentrated fruit,” Sanderson explains of the Domaine Leroy wines According to our calculations, the 2007 vintage of d'Auvenay Chevalier-Montrachet is among the most expensive wines ever sold at a commercial auction A 9-liter case sold for $240,412 at a late 2023 Sotheby’s sale of renowned Taiwanese wine collector Pierre Chen’s cellar and Sanderson described it this way: “From the creamy texture to the racy profile mineral and lime blossom aromas and flavors Best from 2020 to 2037.” The 2006 hit 97 points and Sanderson called it “Rich and creamy with great persistence on the finish,” adding it would be best through 2040 Though a wine like this pretty much sells out to collectors on release a handful of specialty fine-wine retailers in New York City and Hong Kong have the 2013 vintage on offer from $20,000 for a pre-arrival (meaning the shop doesn’t have the wine in hand yet) to more than $33,000 per bottle Auctions are the place to look for older vintages of most rare wines Christie’s auctioned off a bottle in Geneva for 17,500 Swiss francs And in a September 2024 sale of Pierre Chen’s wines Sotheby’s sold a three-bottle lot of the 2013 for $56,250 So what does Coop do with a bottle that could potentially fetch enough to pay for his ex-wife’s monetary demands for the next several months at least we don’t want to spoil the episode for you And if you’re seriously thinking about paying the price of a Nissan Versa or Kia Soul for a bottle of wine make sure you buy from a reputable retailer in person or from a long-established auction house—not some random place you found on the Internet or a pawn shop —With additional reporting by Mitch Frank and Bruce Sanderson Archaeologists partner with southern Italian winemakers to bring grapegrowing and winemakin… José Andrés, Thomas Keller, Alice Waters and Jamie Oliver star in the new season of … The Duchess of Sussex brings plenty of bubbly and food to her new Netflix Lifestyle Series … New archaeological research uncovers chemical compounds in multiple types of drinking … An ambitious renovation of the stone winery in Rutherford is uncovering layers of American … A new study proves that rats have very sensitive olfactory receptors and can distinguish … Things you buy through our links may earn Vox Media a commission Jon Hamm is back on TV playing another rich New York commuter whose life is falling apart. Ten years after Mad Men Hamm is starring in Apple TV+’s Your Friends & Neighbors as Andrew Cooper a hedge-fund manager facing a slew of problems: His wife has left him for a retired NBA player and he lost his job after sleeping with a young woman at his company In his desperation for cash and a sense of control Cooper starts burglarizing his wealthy neighbors For the first two episodes, this means that Cooper wears dark jeans, a Loro Piana hoodie, and a Sun Valley baseball cap, a nod to the conference that has been referred to as “summer camp for billionaires.” In the third episode Coop switches it up with a hat that is almost too cool for him: a Criterion Collection baseball cap But it’s his Criterion hat that lets us know this guy is not just serious about his Blu-Ray collection it is simple and elegant and relays a lot of information quickly “We didn’t want to make it too much of a joke,” costume designer Jacqueline Demeterio told me over Zoom recently ‘Should he have a balaclava?’ We thought about that and it was too hokey.” Instead like what you or I might wear if we were getting dressed to steal a Patek Phillippe watch from an acquaintance Apparently this means obscuring Coop’s face not with the kind of mask that comes up when you Google “cartoon burglar,” but with a dark cap bearing the logo of his favorite purveyor of physical media the idea for the hat came from writer and producer (and IRL Criterion buff) Jamie Rosengard If you’re feeling inspired and (like me) didn’t know that Criterion made hats, you’re in luck. You can get a similar one to what Coop wears on their website. Yes, it’s $45, but if you are enough of a fan to buy a Criterion hat, I already know you’re frivolous with money.

This time he's back with a vintage Hamm performance that blends his ability to convey both solemnity and humor as Andrew "Coop" Cooper a recently divorced hedge fund manager and father of two who loses his job and decides the easiest way to support his expensive lifestyle is to rob his tony friends and neighbors The series also stars a convincing Amanda Peet as Coop's ex-wife and a compelling Olivia Munn as his tormented lover Coop manages to repeatedly slip into the mega-mansions of his suburban New York neighborhood and pilfer wildly expensive bags items whose absences mostly go unnoticed given the excess on display "One of the taglines for the show on a billboard somewhere said simply 'You don't know what you're missing,'" Hamm says before chuckling Speaking of "Mad Men," which ended a decade ago Hamm says he appreciates not just how the show made him a household name but also how it captivated audiences with a modern show set 60 years in the past He hopes "Your Friends & Neighbors" can also captures today's zeitgeist "'Mad Men' was a show that penetrated the culture and while a lot of that is luck and right place/right time stuff There are elements in this new show that speak directly to the times we're living through specifically this bizarre fascination with more Stealing isn't exactly an honorable thing to do the act is less a crime and more a way to showcase just how out of touch the ultra-wealthy can be when you're unaware when a $350,000 watch is missing "That's an absurd amount of money to most people it's not even worth thinking about," he says The actor pauses to weigh his next words before offering his measured social commentary "We are in a weird moment in our collective culture with late-stage capitalism and rampant materialism and so many billionaires doing interesting things with their money that could seemingly be better spent on making the whole world a better place rather than just buying a bigger boat or going to space more." Almost makes the Gordon Gekko "greed is good" 1980s look quaint (convicted junk bond king) Michael Milken is almost a charitable figure now." Hamm says this rich entertainment age is 'a great time to be an audience member'There's one aspect of our current age that leaves Hamm positively rapturous: the sheer variety of entertainment choices for actors and viewers alike "It doesn't matter if the project is from a studio or a streamer if the script has something compelling he's floored by the depth and breadth of storytelling "I was just watching the (Netflix) show 'Adolescence,' and wow And look at shows like 'Baby Reindeer': There's just so much coming down the pike from so many sources but also a great time to be an audience member." you might think Hamm would agree that today's fare far outstrips anything made when Hamm was a kid plunked down in front of a TV in St before riffing on his favorite shows from the '70s and '80s Kotter' and I liked 'Fish' and 'Barney Miller.' I loved 'Three's Company' and 'The Love Boat.' There are good things in all our time periods Is there one old show for which Hamm will brook no criticism 'Miami Vice' still holds up," he booms with a smile Here's rooting for a Hamm-led "Miami Vice" reboot The actor last hosted 'Saturday Night Live' in 2010 Dana Edelson/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty  Things you buy through our links may earn Vox Media a commission His comfort with the 2008 and 2010 casts seemed to have helped and with 15 years passing since the last hosting gig I wondered what the dynamic would be with the current cast Two business-news anchors (Hamm and Ego Nwodim) break down financial news for normal people who don’t understand what The Wall Street Journal is talking about but do need to know how the economy is going to impact their lives in the most relevant terms The sketch included questionable tips from correspondents played by Kenan Thompson and Andrew Dismukes on how to stay afloat like investing in Funko Pops and replacing Perrier with the American-made “Uncle Bubble.” A detective chief (Ben Marshall) briefs his team about a missing girl and warns them that because it’ll be a late night A cop (Hamm) gets way too excited and emotionally invested in the idea of this being a pizza party like John Higgins’s character shooting a gun into the air and following up with I realized immediately I shouldn’t have done that.” For a sketch that started with everyone collectively being mad at one guy ending it with everyone collectively being mad at Jane Wickline’s pizza-delivery person for those six Hawaiian pizzas was a nice way to close the arc A respected dentist (Hamm) is on a game show worried about whether he will destroy his reputation by doing something embarrassing on TV When trying to guess the clues from his teammate (Mikey Day) during a round he instinctively responds with his secrets but he’s so into playing the game that he’s unaware or unbothered by it The contrast of the character’s earnestness with his vile confessions (“Something that’s racist,” “Ooh “Weekend Update” paled in comparison to the rest of the episode with heavier groans from the audience than it has had in a minute The jabs at Jost from Sherman are always a treat to watch and it doesn’t change when she’s in character “Let’s go through your budget like you go through an after-party: line by line,” and “You’re letting people use your private jet for free it’s for ICE deportations?” The piece escalates perfectly into Sherman’s headbutting the wall to find “so many women tied up back there.” where Kenan Thompson’s cop character had a side game of moving on from his late wife alongside the main game of Hamm and Jason Sudeikis’s characters going on motorcycle escapades instead of solving crime • Alex Moffat’s return as Eric Trump in the White Lotus parody • James Austin Johnson rightfully called out Nwodim’s big week last weekend in the fourth-wall break in the cold open (making Sherman and Nwodim break • Spent too long figuring out that musical guest Lizzo’s first T-shirt, which said “Tariffied,” was a pun on “tariff” and “terrified.” It almost distracted me from the backup-dancer allegations from 2023 • All the tariff talk makes me wish I had SNL writer money • Props to the graphics team for the “Weekend Update” image of the baby with veneers • I’m remembering to not take a good host for granted, because the way things are going, you know they’re going to book some Kill Tony guy to host next • In the “Check to Check Business News” sketch “Should meat cost less than gum?” reminds me that I have to spread the word about how expensive Taco Bell has gotten A refried-bean Mexican Pizza in Ridgewood is like $9 That’s about as much as a sandwich that won’t wreck your gut biome at the Northwest Louisiana Veterans Cemetery A visitation will be held at the funeral home from 10:00 a.m Officiating the service will be Deacon Clary Nash. Billy was born on July 2 Virginia to William Fields Hamm and Edith Elizabeth Robinette Louisiana. Billy served in the United States Army before going to work for General Motors in Baltimore Maryland and in 1981 transferring to the Shreveport He was a Caddo Sheriff Auxiliary which he enjoyed for 10 plus years coordinating many events He mostly enjoyed the time spent with his family especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.Billy is preceded in death by his parents William Fields Hamm and Edith Hamm;

Cinemax’s surprisingly great Banshee; and HBO’s martial arts drama Warrior It’s hard to square Your Friends and Neighbors with that beloved cult series about an ex-con assuming the identity of a murdered small-town sheriff But the one thing all of Tropper’s work has in common — except maybe See — is that he makes great television whether it’s a stockbroker in crisis or a martial artist navigating 1870s San Francisco He’s an excellent drawer of characters and a great writer can put those characters into any world and make it work and that’s exactly what he’s doing now with Your Friends and Neighbors Print In “Your Friends and Neighbors,” premiering Friday on Apple TV+ well-placed hedge fund trader who is fired from his job ostensibly for violating a company policy about fraternization in the ranks whom he discovered in bed with his best friend And he’s not doing so well with his kids — Princeton-bound Tori (Isabel Gravitt) and high school sophomore Hunter (Donovan Colan) What they have in common is a failure to communicate Coop and Mel and all their wealthy friends and neighbors live in an exclusive community somewhere in the commutable vicinity of New York City. To keep this entangled universe in balance, Coop is sleeping with Sam (Olivia Munn), whose husband has left her for a much younger model. One imagines that similar business goes on just beyond the bounds of this series. Television The actor spoke about joining the cast of Apple TV+’s drama series that she co-stars in with Jon Hamm and Amanda Peet just as she was learning she had breast cancer There is something old-fashioned about these folks and their power relations including Coop’s decision that he’d rather steal than admit he’s out of work — toxic male insecurity Mel gets a scene or two to show that she has a job and one minor character is described as the best defense lawyer in New York but the female characters — wives and ex-wives — come across for the most part as subordinate to and dependent upon men at self-defense class and at numerous parties — which is not to say they’re having any fun A habit becomes a sort of livelihood, as Coop turns his loot into cash. This brings him into contact with some dangerous characters, at which point “Breaking Bad” seems the relevant comparison There’s a sense in which the situation is out of his control Ensuring that you won’t have to work out any of the series’ themes for yourself, narrator Coop sounds a little like Joan Didion scotch was like a f—ing religion; every time someone poured you a drink they’d have to give a f—ing Ted Talk about the scotch and then someone would inevitably chime in about some bottle they once had you couldn’t get anymore and blah blah I think at some point it just started to dawn on everyone that this was it; these houses this would be the sum total of their lives and so the quest to stave off the emptiness began; scotch entire industries built to cash in on the quiet desperation of rich middle-aged men.” As has become too common practice, “Your Friends and Neighbors” opens with an exciting scene of crisis before shifting back in time to show how we get there. Like a little show called “The White Lotus,” there is an unidentified dead body you might expect them anyway in a show about stealing things because everything that points toward that end is satisfying and most everything that points away from it is … annoying I never felt emotionally invested in the result intellectually.) The series’ multiple threads — including one focused on Barney (Hoon Lee) who is dealing with his wife’s renovation plans and his disapproving old-world Korean in-laws (Barney is Korean but doesn’t speak the language) — take energy away from the plotline we’re meant to care most about But they do fill up space in a story stretched to nine hours As a supposedly successful man undergoing a spiritual crisis (“I realized how far you could drift away from your own life without actually going anywhere.”) But Don was never the most interesting person in “Mad Men,” and Coop is less compelling than Mel and whom we meet on the lawn of her former fiancé strumming a guitar and singing Radiohead’s “Fake Plastic Trees.” (Hunter’s band performs Matthew Sweet’s “Sick of Myself” — “In a world that’s ugly and a lie / It’s hard to even want to try” — to further underscore the suburban anomie in song.)
