Jon Hamm Reveals How ‘Mad Men’ Will End: With Ice Cream!
After years of slinging ad campaigns at Sterling Cooper, will the end of Mad Men find Don Draper slinging scoops of ice cream instead?

That’s what Jon Hamm tells us, anyway, in this exclusive behind-the-scenes look at his cover shoot for Emmy magazine. The man who’s played Don for seven seasons now reveals his character’s very delicious — and very fake — ultimate fate:
"This won’t spoil anything, but Don ends up changing identities again and running an artisanal ice cream shop in Vermont. So he changes his name to ‘Ben & Jerry.’ Which I don’t think anybody would really see coming, and this won’t air till it already airs, but really, I think it works… it just works for the character."
Hamm ends his “spoiler” with a silly grin, in case we didn’t know he was joking. (That man can sell anything!) But really, it’s not that crazy: After all, Don grew up on a farm, and maybe he would want to escape the Manhattan rat race and get back to his rural roots. Hmmm… “Don & Peggy’s Ice Cream” does have a nice ring to it.
The final episodes of Mad Men premiere Sunday, April 5 at 10 p.m. on AMC.
