The Crazy Ones


Montgomery's advertising career was the inspiration for the show and character Simon Roberts, portrayed by Robin Williams. Montgomery worked with the writers several days a week and many of the stories featured on the show were based on his experiences in the advertising world. In episode 102, titled "The Spectacular", a stunt with a giant coffee cup goes awry when the coffee begins to rain down on the nearby crowd. This really happened to Montgomery: "We had a spectacular in New York that had a coffee-related disaster. We had forgotten to factor for wind when we floated a coffee pot above a billboard." In addition, the awards in Simon's office that served as props were real awards of Montgomery's.
