The actor used a quote from the hit show as he joined the picket line for the SAG-AFTRA strike.

Jon Hamm is the latest actor to join the picket line for the SAG-AFTRA strike using his own character's quote on a sign to make his point.

First their was Mandy Patinkin, who altered his famous Princess Bride quote to read:


"You killed residuals, prepare to pay!"

... then there was Billy Crystal with a nod to When Harry Met Sally:

"We'll have what they're having"

Hamm took a page out of their playbook and drove his point home with a quote from his Mad Men character Don Draper.

He wrote on his sign:

"That's what the money is for."

For context, in an episode from season 4 of the AMC show, Draper is in an argument with one of his employees, Peggy Olsen (played by Elisabeth Moss), after he wins an award for one of the commercial ideas she gave him.

The back and forth goes as such:

Don: "It's your job. I give you money. You give me ideas."
Peggy: "And you never say thank you."
Don: "That's what the money is for!"

Sarah Silverman posted a photo of Hamm with his sign to Instagram with the caption:

"THAT’S WHAT THE MONEY’S FOR MOTHERF**KERS
PAY UP AMPTP!!

Viewers of the photo tipped their hats to the actor's Mad Men nod.

After WGA declared a work stoppage in May, SAG-AFTRA officially went on strike July 14, all but stopping any production in Hollywood.

Thanks for fighting the good fight, Jon.

MAGA Fan Has Unhinged Meltdown After Starbucks Barista Doesn't Call Out 'Charlie Kirk' With Her Order

For anyone who isn't familiar with Starbucks ordering protocol, the cashier will ask for a name to put on the cup.

When the order is done, the barista will call out the name on the cup to let the customer know their order is ready. However, if there aren't many people in the store, it's not uncommon for a person to just have their drink handed to them or brought to their table if they're seated.

Melania Trump Dragged After Sharing Bizarre AI 'Teleportation' Video

The video was first shared by the X account @MelaniaMeme. In it, the digital Mrs. Trump appears to teleport into a high-rise—likely Trump Tower—with a glittering cityscape in the background. She steps forward, looks directly into the camera, glances down, then back up again, without uttering a word.

Bad Bunny Hilariously Trolls Fox News Over Their Super Bowl Outrage In 'SNL' Season Opener

Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny took aim at Fox News and the conservative outrage over his upcoming Super Bowl halftime show during the season 51 premiere of Saturday Night Live over the weekend, joking that all of his critics have "four months to learn" Spanish if they're that bothered about him singing in his native tongue during football's biggest night.

Bad Bunny will be the first Latin male artist to headline the halftime show, but many of President Donald Trump's supporters have vowed to boycott the event. At least one far-right figure said Bad Bunny "will just further divide the American people" and suggested that either the right-wing performers Kid Rock or Jason Aldean should headline the show instead.
