You realize how great January is as an actress by watching her in interviews. She is SOOO different from Betty. In mannerisms, posture, even the voice and inflections! It's like there's no Betty there at all. It's rare that you see an actor morph into a completely (in every way) different person for their role. Love January :)

it has to be so awkward to talk about your character if you are an actor/actress right next to the main writer, who could tell you if you are right or wrong

When you compare January's work in Love Actually to her character in Mad Men, you see she has such range of acting talent.

The actresses are treated like arm candy here. I wanted to hear more from January Jones. Great actress and absolutely stunning.

The moderator Caryn James talking about how Betty wasn’t happy back to January Jones around 26:40 and not listening at all was a terrible look. Love Matthew but she addressed all her questions to him and didn’t do a good job moderating this discussion and treating her female guests like equal participants.

Sally was an extraordinary. What an actor that young lady is. She was the real adult in that family. Between Don and Betty. She really was.

I will always have a special place in my heart for Mad Men. It was the first newer television series I watched after not watching TV for like 10 years. I was floored by the level of writing, acting, production and characterizations, plus I grew up in the 60s and I have a great interest in 60s history. It is noteworthy that Gary Oldman was a huge fan of the show. Also, it was the first time a series ended and I felt so sentimental about missing the characters, and not only the characters, but also the world they inhabited.

I wish the clips weren't cut out that they discuss :(

January Jones was my favorite character on the show

This moderator perceives Mad Men only in the most LITERAL sense possible. She can't see any metaphors, subtext in ANYTHING which is at least half of the show. Ugh.

My father left for the clients daughter that looked like his daughter, who instead of being disinherited inherited the beach house on the bluffs of Southern California. It’s worth 6 million today, but they zeroed out on that too. Madmen was like seeing that period not as an 8 year old, or 13 year old but the back story of all that was going on. Everyone in the block saw their parents get divorced except the WWII boys, a Jewish couple, and my Mormon Orthodontist. 🧡

I think Jessica (herself) and her character as Megan Draper is being nice to January Jones a little too much both on screen and off screen but it's an admirable character indeed, anyway. She seems like such a lovely, smart and a very down to earth person. She's beautiful inside out. That's a true beauty.

Why can’t we see the clips of the show?? Very frustrating

Aaron, She's on the new show "Devious Maids". I didn't even recognize her. The character she plays is called Odessa and she's the assistant to a rock star or record producer.

I cried the first time I watched Shawshank.

They seem to be reflections of each other. That's why there is a tension there.

I honestly thought it was his lie that caused him to cheat on Betty. I thought he would see his mistresses so that he could be his dick Whitman self with someone.

When I'm 40 I want to be sitting where Matthew is

The laugh of that moderator! Annoying...

He cant be alone but he cant be with any one either. And the naiveté and ego when people think Im rich enough or beautiful enough or so young or so charismatic and “in” on whats gone on before that this same person wont lie to me or cheat on me or take advantage of me... to not realize who the person is by thinking of yourself as an automatically overcoming influence for them... As refreshing as an attitude of Im already bored of your past and am only focused on you now is, when the other person’s past is so integral to them in the present, that approach is not going to work. His past wasnt in the past and Megan didnt give it the relevance it required, perhaps because a twenty year old isnt likely to know any better, which can be precisely the draw for a man of a different generation fooling himself into thinking he will automatically be different with a fresh chance without any of the persistent effort change requires.

All Draper's lovers and wives had a sad or terrible end.

Interviewer must stop laughing. Her laugh is so distracting.

this good lord everyone was laughing at his unfunny jokes too

How all women felt in the late 60’s and early 70’s when their husbands left your a younger, and prettier middle. Pure hell

Matthew Weiner gives a bigoted kick to all Catholic women and it gets a laugh. Nobody even mentions it here in the comments. In American society, where every word one utters is carefully weighed so as to not offend, I am a bit surprised that there was silence here. Is he so brilliant, that whatever he says is beyond criticism? I personally am not sensitive to his opinions, but I am surprised that a video with nearly 40k hits has not made his comment more of a topic.

Beauty... and legs... and more legs.

I was surprised they didn't have Don bring home a case of the clap or some such STD You know he would blame it on a dirty toilet seat or a house keeper not changing the sheets in a hotel room.

Don doesn't know how to change. One has to understand, those brought up in the manner in which Don was, doesn't KNOW how to change. He's a broken man. He's also compulsive: especially, bedding all these women. It 's between fantasy, and hiding his pain, his past, and his demons more less. He seems secure in who is. Then again, he really isn't. He didn't want Meagan acting nor Betty. For difference reasons with Betty. Because the people really didn't want her. Meagan being younger and having no responsibilities. Don was a little threatened by that. He thought he could just mold her in what in wanted. Am I wrong? I don't think so.
