Any contact with the comedy community that Hamm is seemingly balls deep in nowadays, Aukerman, Pardo, Sklars, PFT, etc?

Just had week long swim lessons for my daughter. Heather Juergenson had her daughter there as well. Nice, funny lady. Great things to say about Jennifer & Jon.

Ahh, Ms. 'The Hammer.' Oh, and it's Juergensen.

My friend works with the Children's Hospital people. The whole David Wain/Ken Marino group. I've met Ken and Paul Rudd. Oh - and David Koechner, but that because our families know each other.

He's an MU guy, which I'll forgive. Really, really nice. He got me tickets to his show once, and this unknown comic named Zac Galifinakis was opening. That was a trip.

The comedy people I am more in touch with are SNL people, honestly. I was at the Groundlings for a long time, so you just end up becoming friends with people who go on to be really successful.

One of my friends is about to blow up. It's pretty cool to watch.

Ken's kids and my daughter go to preschool together. He and Erica are nice people.

Never met Erica, actually. But yeah, that guy is great. I think he's getting funnier as time goes on. Burning Love is hilarious.

Thankfully, the wife and I aren't at preschool time yet. That train's on the track though, and you know it isn't slowing down. LA preschool is insane, man.

We really LOVE our preschool. They don't advertise and it's word of mouth only. Very involved parents, which is awesome.

True Story:

My daughter completed her first week of preschool last year and the following Saturday, we were hanging in her playroom. Out of the blue, she says this:

Daughter: Daddy?
Me: Yes, baby?
Daughter: you never say **** or shit, right?
Me: That's right, Baby. Who told you that?


I'll give you one guess who's kid told her that.

Speaking of which, did I hear right? Taran Killam married ****ING Cobie Smulders?!?!?!

Weirdest connection since David Cross and Amber Tamblyn.

EDIT: Looking it up, looks like they've been an item for a while, as in he's the reason Cobie had to act with loose blouses and big handbags a few years back.

Wow, thanks for the visual. Dude with the beard is from Alvin and the Chipmunks, yes? Other than that no clue.
Your knowledge is impressive.

- if you had ANY IDEA how happy it makes me that that is how you know him.

EDIT

Taran - SNL cast member, also plays [in perhaps my favorite role of the past year] the glee club instructor on Community, that's a big parody of Glee.

Cobie - HIMYM

Amber - Joan of Arcadia, The Unusuals, House.

David - Mr. Show, Arrested Dev, . . . err, Chipmunk Movie, Squeakuel etc.

His appearances in Just Shoot Me were some of the funniest television sitcom episodes ever. That show was hugely underrated to start with, and when you threw Slow Donnie into the mix, it should be in the conversation of the best sitcoms ever.
