Maybe Jon Hamm's billionaire act on "The Morning Show" is doing rich men like Elon Musk a favor

Long before "Mad Men" ended, Jon Hamm wished its fans would emotionally break up with its toothsome lead Don Draper. "That's how you are supposed to live when you are a billionaire," Rogan declares, a pronouncement that may factor into how Hamm portrays the way such men move through the world, and why they'd want to purchase soft power conduits like, say, a news organization with international reach. "The Morning Show" insinuates that Hamm's Marks lives a tabloid-baiting life as well, but separates his material identity from his flirtation with UBA, the show's version of America's top-rated TV news network. Thusly "The Morning Show" reconnects with our timeline, or perhaps a more proximate past than the second season's pandemic storyline which in late 2021 still felt dated. Jon Hamm, Jennifer Aniston, Mark Duplass and Tig Notaro in "The Morning Show" Bezos isn't the only multibillionaire buying up news and information real estate, along with actual real estate.
