Kathy Griffin Disses Jon Hamm Over Age Insult

Comedian Kathy Griffin has revealed a long-standing grudge against actor Jon Hamm, detailing an alleged insult from over 15 years ago. Griffin recounted on the "In Your Dreams" podcast that Hamm, appearing intoxicated at a Hollywood dinner party hosted by the late talent agent Sue Mengers, approached her while she was speaking with Jack Nicholson.

According to Griffin, Hamm allegedly commented on her age and questioned the authenticity of her Emmy awards. She retorted that Hamm did not have an Emmy at the time, a detail she still holds against him. Although Hamm has since won an Emmy in 2015, Griffin expressed that she has never forgiven him for the encounter.

Griffin's animosity towards Hamm also stems from a past interaction where she felt he was rude to a former boyfriend. Despite these grievances, she conceded that Hamm is a talented actor and even acknowledged his attractiveness and comedic ability.
