Jon Hamm was around so briefly, yet it was a genuine shock when he appeared in the series. Don Draper himself stepped in for a moment or two and it was fantastic.

Jon Hamm's cameo in Parks & Rec was so much fun because it didn't really mean anything. He played Ed, a low-level grunt that worked as part of Leslie's team for the three-year gap between the elevator ride at the end of the 6th season which led into the 7th.

Though his time was limited, Ed had some great lines and the way in which he was described as being the most incompetent employee that Leslie had ever worked with, including Jerry, just didn't fit with what our eyes saw in Jon Hamm. After all, he did portray one of the greatest business executives of all time in Mad Men.

Parks & Rec made their cameos brief from time-to-time but they always made sure they had a good impact when they did. Jon Hamm's Ed was a prime example of that, he was funny, he was upbeat to a fault, and his appearance was utterly unforgettable.
