Jon Hamm's name may now be synonymous with smooth, suave and dapper. But that wasn't always the case.

Back in the day, you couldn't pay a girl to go out with him. Seriously.

Footage has been unearthed of the actor almost 20 years ago when he appeared on the '90s dating show The Big Date. (And as an added bonus, it was hosted by Mark Wahlberg.) Hamm is listed as a waiter (read: aspiring actor). He attempts to woo the women by promising "fabulous food, a little fabulous conversation, end it with a fabulous foot massage for an evening of total fabulosity."

And then he get gets passed over. Twice. Skip to 3:21 to see future Mad Men star in action.

This video is definitive proof that Jon Hamm, like a fine wine, gets better with age. Kicking yourselves now, ladies?
