Education?
Did Sam Simon go to Harvard like so many other guys who work on The Simpsons? - Mcasey666 14:20, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

He supposedly didn't get along with Matt Groening
A few years ago, I heard on on PEEL that Sam Simon and Matt Groening didn't get along. You can read it at —The preceding unsigned comment was added by John Pannozzi (talk • contribs) 20:32, 27 March 2007 (UTC).

On the Series 7 episode 'the Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular', Sam Simon is portrayed as an old, wrinkled man lying in bed and using a type-writer with his overly-long fingernails. Whether this was Groening's idea, I don't know. NIN (talk) 14:12, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not. According to the commentary, it was Simon's idea. -- Scorpion 0422  12:21, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

George Carlin couldn't stand him either. --77.249.207.50 (talk) 10:50, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Real Picture?
Given the context of 3F31, Sam Simon probably doesn't look anything like that. --Jnelson09 05:30, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. Plus if I recall correctly from the commentary, Sam Simon himself submitted that sketch. 124.176.145.183 (talk) 10:27, 4 November 2008 (UTC)ima

World Series of Poker 2007 Main Event
Apparently Sam Simon *cashed* in the event, if someone knows the details and can add a sentence to the article here I think that would be great. 68.149.190.31 14:30, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone have a list of the Simpsons characters Sam Simon created? 71.220.113.50 21:19, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

who wants to be a millionare
Is it worth a mention that both Drew Carey and Norm MacDonald used Sam Simon as their phone-a-friend when they were on the WWTBM celeb edition? On Thermonuclear War (talk) 01:03, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Jewish?
Is Sam Simon Jewish? --JohnnyLurg (talk) 23:32, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Reference for death
Can someone please add a reliable reference for his death? I can only find the Sam Simon Foundation's Facebook page, which doesn't lend itself to linking. Espresso Addict (talk) 18:58, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Cause of death in Infobox
Do we really need the cause of death listed in the infobox? It looks so tacky to me. David Santos (talk) 00:58, 10 March 2015 (UTC)


 * As far as I'm aware we do. I've just checked some biographical articles of dead people, ones I checked all had them listed. --5 albert square (talk) 01:15, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, there's no rule that says we need it. Abraham Lincoln doesn't have it, to name the first article I checked. Zagal e jo^^^ 00:06, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
