What do you think? You know better than we do. Okay, why did that happen? Something was wrong with him? Is he having an issue? Matt actually sat down and talked to me a couple weeks before we shot that episode and explained - before anybody had read the script - and explained everything that was going to happen. So that came up in the script, and what did you think? Yeah - they didn’t want to show her and I think Lizzie wanted to, Lizzie was like, “I’m gonna need to see it at some point it’s not like we’re only going to do one take.” I don’t remember if they did end up actually showing her before the take, but it’s kind of hard to look down at that thing and not be creeped out.Ībsolutely. It was very, very specifically in his mind, that entire image.ĭid Elisabeth Moss see it before she opened the box? They whipped this together and when we saw it, Matt - you know what’s funny, Matt Weiner came down and talked to them for a long time about exactly how much blood we wanted there, and how much he wanted on me, and what he wanted this bandage to look like. Will you look at it - this is what I was describing.

I hope Elisabeth Moss didn’t see what was in the box beforehand. What is that? Is that like a piece of pepperoni? My wife has not seen this episode, and she doesn’t know what happens, and I have that so I can show it to her after we sit down and watch it. Alright, here we go, let me pull up - here’s the three-second version. I’m so glad you’re here because I’ve gotta say, last night. Actor Ben Feldman, whose new show A to Z was picked up by NBC, is in New York this week for the Upfronts, and we got a chance to talk to him this morning about poor Ginsberg, what he did with that bloody prop, and his theories on what’s going on in his character’s mind.

On last night’s Mad Men, Ginsberg had a moment.

Ben why didn't you tell me gif
