Jon Hamm is Super, Man

Jon Hamm was a guest on Conan last night, and it was a really great interview. It was really funny, and Jon and Conan had a great back-and-forth.

I loved when they started talking about the rumor that Jon Hamm might play Superman.

Conan: You know, I keep hearing a rumor, which is they say there's going to be a new Superman movie and your name keeps coming up. Which I thought you'd make a great superman.
Jon: Everyone wants to see a middle-aged Superman.With the power of handicap parking...mall walking.
Conan: Haha! A Superman who is struggling with some issues. Sure, what's wrong with that?
Jon: A Superman that had to buy a fast car.
Conan: Haha! That makes no sense.
Jon: Dated a younger woman to make him feel alive.
Conan: I like that he's Superman, and he has to get a Porsche. You know? He can fly to Mars in a second, but he needs a car that can go 80 mph on the freeway.
Jon: Well, you know, he doesn't really feel all that good about himself. He hit a certain age. He's not so super anymore. There's a bunch of super kids everywhere, taking his super publicity.
Conan: You can't put "super" in front of any word.
Jon: You super certainly can

Here's the full interview (Superman discussion starts at about 6:30):
