Glad Man: Jon Hamm Inks New AMC Deal
Mad Men won't return until the spring of 2012, but at least fans can take comfort in knowing that Don Draper will be there - smoking, imbibing and reflecting - when new episodes finally air again.
Jon Hamm has signed a new contract with the series.
This move means the drama is that much closer to production, following a messy contract negotiation between creator Matthew Weiner and AMC.
While Hamm won't be back in his Emmy-nominated role for months, he's still churning out hilarious Bridesmaids quotes on the big screen. Seriously, if you haven't seen this Kristen Wiig-penned comedy yet, do so now. Seriously. Just go. We won't tell your boss.

Jon Hamm Admits to History of "Chronic Depression"
You'd never know it by the jokes he cracks when hosting Saturday Night Live, or the way in which he easily fit into 30 Rock for a guest-starring stint, but Jon Hamm battled depression many years ago.
The Mad Men cast member opened up about his history with this disease in a new interview with Great Britain's The Observer.
Saying he was "unmoored" by the deaths of his parents - Hamm's mother died of stomach cancer and his father passed away a decade later - the actor explained: "I struggled with chronic depression. I was in bad shape. I knew I had to get back in school and back in some kind of structured environment and ... continue."
Hamm says work and good friends of his parents helped him find happiness.
