‘Could you tell me where to find a phone?’ Christina Hendricks brought her Mad Men alter ego Joan Harris into a modern office for a Funny or Die sketch posted Thursday
Christina as Joan then shakes up a martini in the break room while her shocked co-workers watch on.
When someone asks her to go out to lunch, the flame-haired beauty declines as she brought an unappetizing molded gelatin salad from home.
The best moment came after Harris asks how to fax a document and her colleague shrugs: ‘Actually, I don’t know.’
The retro-meets-contemporary bit ends with a hard dose of reality as Joan spouts worrying statistics about women in the workplace.
Five times a charm? She will face off against Anna Gunn, Maggie Smith, Joanne Froggatt, Lena Heady, and Christine Baranski for supporting actress at the Emmy Awards airing August 25

Joan then deadpans: ‘Or I could have had a stroke. I smoke a lot.’

Hendricks only has one more season left as the ambitious office manager-turned partner on the hit AMC series.
‘I’ll probably sneak some [souvenir],’ the Firefly star told New York Magazine last September.
