"      Many people have noted that it can be difficult to process the real-life Jon Hamm in interviews, on the red carpet, etc., without drawing mental comparisons to the onscreen Don Draper. This is the problem with shows that have dedicated followings. It&amp;#039;s common for soap operas. Now it&amp;#039;s also Mad Men&amp;#039;s problem: Where does Hamm&amp;#039;s void of an onscreen persona end and the actual, startlingly affable Hamm begin? Is he like Draper at all? Hamm has been happy to play along with the Don Draper jokes, including on SNL, where he gave his guide to sleeping with women (be mysterious, drink a lot, and so on). But if you have a hard enough time with the Draper/Hamm divide, check out the actor&amp;#039;s appearance on Sesame Street airing this Thursday. Hamm and Elmo teach very young kids what a sculpture is. And Hamm is all smiles. Needless to say, I&amp;#039;m not sure this is an activity Draper would be totally comfortable with, but I&amp;#039;m glad Hamm is comfortable being himself, which is apparently a much nicer guy than Draper is.
