John Slattery admits that when directing Jon Hamm on the set of “Mad Men,” the star can get “ornery.”
Slattery, who not only plays Roger Stern on the series but has also directed several episodes of the AMC show, explains that Hamm can be testy when he is asked to do multiple takes of the same scene.

JON HAMM IS NOT A FAN OF OUTDOOR SEX
“Hamm gets a little ornery when you make him do it too much,” Slattery said, while a guest on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” last night alongside Tina Fey. “Too many takes and he’s like, ‘Come on, we did it already. Let’s go.'”
Fey found the comment hilarious, and jumped in the conversation impersonating Hamm.
“Come on. Don’t make me do too many takes of having sex with these beautiful women,” said Fey sarcastically. “I hate it.”
Slattery may soon find that Hamm has changed his tune on multiple takes. Hamm directed the second episode of the show’s fifth season, currently airing.
“This was an incredible experience to get a whole different perspective on the show that I thought I knew pretty well,” Hamm told the website OnTheRedCarpet.com.
