DevonDeathTrip 2,366 Posted March 4, 2013 I'm only judging his fame by the size of his Wikipedia page, but The Simpsons executive producer Sam Simon might be worth keeping under observation. He has provided a photo of his medication on his Twitter page (you need to go through his media gallary to see). There is rather a lot of it and the only pills I could make out the name of are used to combat nausea during and after chemotherapy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garn2 34 Posted March 4, 2013 Simon is one of the show's three creators (as with many successful things, he's the one who got screwed over, albeit not financially) and has done a lot of charity work so an obit seems pretty likely. None of the show's main writers have died so it's hard to judge, but I remember the Mail running a piece when one of them got married, so it's probable a lot of them would. More speculation here (including a picture of him walking with a cane...) P.S. Can we change the thread name to something not shit? The Simpsons (and other animation) or something like that?

Death Impends 8,043 Posted March 4, 2013 Good find regarding Simon. He'll definitely get the obit, the Simpsons are so iconic that anyone with a major enough role will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garn2 34 Posted March 9, 2013 Well this is a pretty clear indication... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garn2 34 Posted March 12, 2013 And here's even clearer... Howard Stern Show regular Sam Simon revealed Monday that doctors estimate he has only months to live now that the colorectal cancer he was diagnosed with in 2012 has now metastasized and spread to his other organs.

Death Impends 8,043 Posted March 12, 2013 Could make for a great joker if he sees the 2014 start line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garn2 34 Posted July 25, 2013 Update on Sam Simon. The gist: he's fighting, and has surpassed the initial 6 month diagnosis, but he knows he isn't going to be around for all that much longer and so is giving away all his money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,365 Posted July 25, 2013 Sad to hear about Sam Simon he seems like a genuinely nice bloke - if he makes 2014 he will be nearly everyone`s DDP Joker though (assuming Wilko Johnson and Valerie Harper are no longer with us that is). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Miser 18 Posted January 3, 2014 I like his inclusion. Interesting to track some under 85 types. Good chance for success as well me thinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_engineer 1,415 Posted January 3, 2014 It was a toss up between sam simon and wilko johnson for my joker, I chose wilko simply because I really can't see him surviving this year however sam simon might surprise a few people. He retweeted something about a deathpool so i think he knows he is on here . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 8,043 Posted January 3, 2014 Simon's Twitter in general is great for a trickle of information to discuss. A couple weeks ago he posted a picture of a bottle of his drained abdominal fluids, from a process he undergoes weekly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,235 Posted January 3, 2014 Simon's Twitter in general is great for a trickle of information to discuss.

Hey at least I didn't put you as my joker, Sam! I'll only be getting "half points" compared to all the people that did. I hope that little consolatory crumb makes you feel a bit better. But not too much, obviously. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Flag 84 Posted January 17, 2014 "Sam Simon, or "Simey," as he liked to be called, taught us that a man can triumph over adversity. And even though Sam's agonizing struggle through life was tragically cut short, I'm sure he's looking down on this right now..." 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
