Celebrities Who Were Game-Show Contestants

Jon Hamm- The Big Date

Before he was Don Draper, Jon Hamm was just another guy trying to find love on a TV show. That’s right. Believe it or not, the star of Mad Men appeared on the show The Big Date back in 1995. He looks barely recognizable with that long hair and 90s outfit. Hamm spoke about his experience as a game show contestant on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. “I was 24 years old and making some questionable decisions in my life as you could see.”

The Big Date had a strange premise. It was nothing like The Bachelor or Bachelorette. The lead chooses three contestants of the opposite sex to try and hook up with. Host, Mark Walberg asks the potential couple three questions, and if two of the answers match, they become a couple!
