“Jon Hamm’s ‘Tasteless’ Joke to Pregnant Amy Poehler Sparks Outrage: What Did He Say?”
The Parks and Recreation actress stepped away to have the emotional phone conversation, and when she returned, she told Hamm that her OB-GYN had passed away.
“And, I said, ‘God, Amy, that’s really terrible, but you really need to pull it together because this is my first time hosting and you better bring it!’ Which, was a big swing!” he said about his words to a crying Poehler.
The “big swing” worked as “she immediately started laughing,” the actor added.

“I would never recover if don draper told me to pull it together on my own show,” another said, making a referencing to his Mad Men character
