Jon and John fan questions

Ok gang, I can't get the video of their response to our questions, all I get in the video is the Clorox thing over and over on an endless loop.

Can some of the regulars who caught it give a basic synopsis?

What I really want to know is, I'm the one who asked them if the drunken Roger punch on Don was an ad lib because the look on Jon/Don's face is priceless afterward.

When it was put up they print : Want to know how they really feel about working together? Or how much they get to improvise -- including that punch Roger delivered to Don's arm in "Six Month Leave"?

So they mention what I asked and I'm just curious of the answer but I can't get the vid.

Lil help....

I watched it again, just for you, Greg. The question was asked, and Jon H. said the punch WAS in the script. He went on to say "not that hard", however, and they both joked about having to do the scene over and over at 3:00 in the morning, and John S. said "then he hit me back". The actual scene was shown. They led into your question with another question about how much of the show is improvised. Jon H. said the scripts are so well written that no improvisation is needed, although he joked that John Slattery improvises all the time because he can't remember his lines.

Greg, Z hit it right on the nail blow by blow. That's what I saw and what I heard. They are friends and do get along well.

Zerelda! Great, thank you so much. I thought something was up with that scene. If you come across it again watch his face afterwards, you see them both trying not to laugh...
