An Emmy promo spoofing AMC's acclaimed drama "Mad Men" has landed NBC in a tight spot. The network aired the first of three "Mad Men"-style promos Wednesday night, featuring Emmys host Jimmy Fallon in
the role of lead character Don Draper and Christina Hendricks playing her character Joan Harris. Rivals with shows against "Mad Men" in the best drama series category weren't amused -- especially
since NBC had no plans to spoof their shows too.
As one network with a dog in that particular race points out: The TV Academy voting window is still open. "Are they kidding?," asked a
rep. "They're running basically ads for 'Mad Men' in middle of the voting process. That's like having a presidential campaign and running an ad for one candidate. It's outrageous."
