Could Hamm & Watts be the new Hall & Oates?

Have you ever wanted to hear Jon Hamm freestyle as one-man-band Reggie Watts worked his magic alongside him? Have you ever hoped that when he did this his rhymes would be loosely based on the 1970/80s sitcom Taxi? Dreams come true, people.

This bit of strange magic (quick question: Could Hamm & Watts be the new Hall & Oates?) came about for a piece Hamm filmed for the upcoming comedy series Comedy Bang! Bang!, which premieres Friday, June 8th on IFC; new Reggie Makes Music webisodes will premiere throughout the season right here.
