Sitting down with Stefan Pape from Hey U Guys (featured below), Hamm talked a little about his new baseball flick Million Dollar Arm and, inevitably, the end of Mad Men.
When Pape asked if it was difficult to know the end and not be able to say anything about it, Hamm admitted that it sort of went both ways. "It's easy enough to say nothing about it," he laughed, adding "it's more challenging to kind of come up with clever, stupid things to say about the end."

As for saying goodbye, wrapping on the series has been a significant change. "It's exciting, obviously," he explained, "And I can't wait for people to see it given the fact that it's been eight years of my life and a significant portion of my career."
Hamm noted that it will be "exciting to share it with the world," though the end of the series "is very much bittersweet."
"It's saying goodbye to a lot of friends," he said of his costars, "and it's saying goodbye to a character that I really liked playing."
Mad Men returns to AMC for the remainder of its seventh and final season in early 2015.
