Hamer attempted a brief return to show business in 1970 as a married medical student in the show Make Room for Grandaddy, a sequel of Make Room for Daddy, but the show was canceled after one season. Hamer eventually moved to Louisiana where he worked on an off-shore oil rig and later, as a short order cook.
