Jerry Jones’ tear-jerking Cowboy monologue during his Landman cameo has gone viral

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones appeared in an episode of “Landman” on Paramount+ and believes that his hospital scene with Jon Hamm and Billy Bob Thornton was so emotional that he didn’t act.

Landman, a show about Texas oil tycoons, saw Jones on camera during the ninth episode as he gave a heartwarming speech to Jon Hamm’s character in a hospital bed.
