Here's a link to the episode: http://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episod...89_-_sam_simon

You can also download at iTunes and similar. As one would guess, the show isn't exactly SFW given that its title is What the ****. Of course, I say that while listening at work. But I work in an athletics department, where (to paraphrase Lewis Black) **** is a comma.
IYCMI, Maron rereleased the Sam Simon interview Monday (Maron's episodes become premium content after a year.):

Really is one of my favorite episodes.

This is very sad news and I hope people would do something more than just literally type three letters into a post. Like do the dots at least, has always bothered in these threads.

Anyway yeah I grew up watching the Simpsons and also watched him on poker shows and even a couple of interviews and always seemed like a nice guy. Rest in peace.

Sam really was a very unique person. I got to know him a bit over the years. He was brilliant, and brutally honest. And I think it's pretty unique that his biggest legacy might not be the biggest TV show in the history of television, but his work with animal rights. I'll probably get banned from 2 + 2 for posting it, but here's the column I wrote on his passing. http://www.allinmag.com/poker/inside...-simon-tribute

R.I.P Sam.

Created the best TV show of my childhood and contributed to hundreds of hours of my entertainment. I'm very grateful.

Yes very sad news. His will to live was strong as he looked very sick for over a year now. His former champion had a tribute for Sam.......http://www.tmz.com/2015/03/09/sam-si...amon-brewster/
