Jon Hamm, pictured in LA last year, opened up on his character's fate earlier this month While Monty recovered from the bypass surgery, one of the season's final shots showed him seemingly flat-lining, surrounded by his wife and daughters 'Part of it is that my other commitments don’t really allow me to be a series regular on another show,' Hamm admitted. 'I knew the show was going to be good; I didn’t know it was really going to spark in the culture the way it has, and that part of it is even better,' Hamm said Since Monty clearly realized he was not long for this Earth, he spent his final days putting Tommy in control of M Tex.
