Jon Hamm's Tuesday appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! was a varied one, which at one point involved helping an audience member sell their old car by voicing their Craigslist ad for them.

Elsewhere, he talked a lot about nipples. Specifically the prosthetic ones he had to wear (they were pierced) for his naked scene in Fargo Season 5, which involves him lounging in an outdoor hot tub before climbing out — fully nude — to grab a towel.

"Naked's fine," Hamm explained to Kimmel in the clip above. "Cold naked is not great." Not an ideal scene to be shooting in the very chilly Alberta, Canada, in other words.

How to watch: Fargo Season 5 is streaming on Hulu, with new episodes releasing each week.
