As of November 2026, Mad Men has been mentioned in one podcast episode on SmartLess (Feb 2026). In the "RE-RELEASE: Jon Hamm" episode of SmartLess, Jon Hamm references Mad Men as a significant TV show that transformed television and contributed to his rise to fame.

Mad Men is an American period drama television series created by Matthew Weiner for AMC. It ran from July 19, 2007 until May 17, 2015, with seven seasons and 92 episodes. The series title is allegedly borrowed from the phrase advertisers working on Madison Avenue used to refer to themselves, although the only documented use of the phrase may derive from the late-1950s work of James Kelly, an advertising executive and writer.
