#26: Supporting Each Other
In 2008, the suave and charismatic Jon Hamm was gearing up to host his first-ever show. A hilarious sketch was on the cards, featuring the vibrant Amy Poehler, inspired by Hamm’s acclaimed show. Amidst the laughter and lines, a plot twist occurred off-stage: Poehler, radiant and heavy with child, received the shocking news of her OB-GYN’s unfortunate demise.
When Amy Poehler’s eyes welled up, spilling over in a cascade of uncontrollable sobs, a wave of panic washed over John Hamm. He looked at her, his eyes wide with concern and a hint of desperation. “Listen, Amy,” he implored, his voice trembling. “I understand this is incredibly emotional, but this show means the world to me. I need you to pull yourself together, find your strength, and press on.”
