I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m certainly not the best-looking person on the planet, and I would never ever say that. And I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think anybody really would, with a straight face, especially people who know me. But, you know, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s funny. At the end of the day, the 30 Rock writers have to get out of that scenario they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve built for themselves. If Liz Lemon and Dr. Drew fall madly in love, then there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no more show. So you have to kind of create something that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going to break this thing up. And my character\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not a bad guy; he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not anything but a good guy. <strong>So the funniest way to get out of that was the way they did, which was to make this person almost functionally retarded, and yet completely lauded and celebrated, with all of his shortcomings overlooked because he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s handsome.<\/strong> I think that says a lot about our culture, where we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re willing to excuse people if they are celebrities, or they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re pretty, or whatever. This sort of shallow way that sometimes our culture tends to look past things.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mad Men starts this Sunday!!!
