The TV Zone

I love these gimmicks - they offer the possibility that I too will one day be as famous as Spencer Pratt, and maybe get my own reality show.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. Here's the deal: AMC is launching a contest to a.) get more people to watch its break-out hit; and b.) Offer a lucky Pratt wannabe to stand next to Don Draper and tell him how to create a new campaign for Clearasil.... The cameo will air in the third season (which I don't believe AMC has even officially announced yet.)

Details, per AMC: "Just perform pre-selected lines for Don Draper, Pete Campbell, Roger Sterling, Betty Draper, Peggy Olson or Joan Holloway and send us your video." I checked out some of the lines, and they're pretty well-known to "MM" fanatics - like the one after Roger recovers from his heart attack and tells Joan Holloway (right) what, ummm, a nice lady she is, and how lucky he is to have, ummmm, known her. Or the time when Campbell says he invented direct marketing.

AMC says to go here for more details and how to enter, etc.

And...the second season begins July 27. But you already knew that.
