Episode description as stored

On the debut of "The Nerve with Maureen Callahan," Maureen gets into the real Jon Hamm, in a segment you won't see anywhere else - a horrifying story of an alleged hazing Hamm did as a frat brother, the dismissive way Hamm has addressed the incident in recent years, his past relationships, his penchant for playing a certain type of character, and his manufactured PR image today. You’ll never look at him the same way again. Plus, a deep dive on adult female friendships as portrayed in "The Real Housewives," and how "mean girls" only seem to grow up get meaner with age, featuring behavioral analyst Dr. Erin Foster. And author Susannah Cahalan joins to discuss her new book "The Acid Queen," and the story behind her hit memoir "Brain on Fire."
