Jon Hamm's grandma doesn't like 'Mad Men'

You can add "be a talk-show guest" and, apparently, "play third base" to the list of things Jon Hamm can do well. His grandmother, however, has a few issues with the part he plays.
The "Mad Men" star was a guest on "The Tonight Show" Tuesday, and he seemed pretty much at home in the chair next to Conan O'Brien. He was funny without being too "on," told a decent anecdote about meeting Tracy Morgan when he guested "30 Rock" and helped O'Brien poke some fun at "Tonight Show" announcer/sidekick Andy Richter.
Hamm and Richter both took part in the celebrity softball game during baseball's All-Star week last month, and while Richter showed prowess at the plate -- he hit a home run -- he apparently had some defensive struggles. It set up a clip of Hamm (who was on the opposing team) making a nice pick at third, and the ESPN announcers getting in a dig at Richter.
The softball clip just adds to the idea that Hamm is pretty much everybody's All-American at this point. His grandmother, though, still has some problems with his role on "Mad Men." Her objections to Don Draper and the show are near the end of the segment, which we present now without further ado.

I don't watch Mad Men but he's very handsome (duh), seems nice too.
Hi, it is possible to NOT use Hulu to present the clips? I ask because I don't live in the U.S. and anyone who doesn't can't view the Hulu clips.
If it is a copyright issue, I understand, but if possible please provide an all region video clip.
Thanks in advance.
YUMMY

You zap2it reporters are so damn lazy! You post a headline and then don't include any quotes or details in the article related to that headline. Instead you give us a link to a video clip which many of us can't or won't view.
