Tuesday's Talent: Jon Hamm

By -

It's refreshing to see a man who is not only relentless in being handsome, but also has an intellect he knows how to use. On Bill Maher's Real Time last week Jon Hamm made good use of both. He is the thinking homo's kind of stud. If he were a character on Murphy Brown, he'd be her boyfriend.

Heir apparent Betty Carter is on an ego trip, Cassandra Wilson is too arty... and so on. Abbey Lincoln's trip is something else again (perhaps Parisian) as she poignantly introduces "How High The Moon" in broken French and triumphantly ends the set with Francis Lai's "Live For Life." In between, Lincoln contributes good original lyrics from the point of view of a still-feminine quasi-bag lady--"social secretary" she calls it--an adept witness to hard times past and present.
