Jon Hamm is moving from Madison Avenue to Bikini Bottom. The Emmy-winning star of Mad Men landed a guest role on a future episode of SpongeBob SquarePants.

The ghost of Mad Men follows Hamm to the new subaquatic digs. Hamm will voice Don Grouper (sound familiar?), an ad exec who helps Mr. Krabs launch his frozen Krabby Patties line. He’s irresistible, smart, and well dressed. Take a look at a rough sketch of the character, who’s already smiling more than Draper.
