Jon Hamm stopped by The Tonight Show to discuss his role in the upcoming Mean Girls movie and took the opportunity to showcase his impressive dramatic acting skills. Host Jimmy Fallon challenged the actor to recount a few popular Christmas carols in his best theatrical tone after mentioning Hamm’s recent Golden Globe nod for Fargo.
In the clip, the pair took turns randomly selecting a card with carol lyrics and then interpreting them dramatically. Hamm kicked things off with “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” which took a depressing turn. Fallon was less successful at staying serious with his attempt at “I’m Getting Nuttin’ for Christmas.”
Speaking about Mean Girls, Hamm noted that the movie is “so funny” and “so fun.” He confirmed that fans will get to see his musical side. “Because why not,” he said. “If you’re going to do it, do the sing, do the dance. Why not?”
Mean Girls, based on the Broadway musical based on the 2004 film, hits theaters Jan. 12. Hamm plays gym teacher Coach Carr. The actor appeared on the most recent season of The Morning Show as tech billionaire Paul Marks and as Sheriff Roy Tillman on Fargo. He is nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a TV Series — TV Movie/Limited.
