Facing death from cancer, Sam Simon still has his sense of humor

[Steve Timko]

Sam Simon was diagnosed about six months with terminal cancer and was given three to six months to live. He doesn't say specifically what kind of cancer in his WTF interview with Marc Maron, but says it has gone through all of his organs.

For a man facing death, Simon is going out with humor. He has great stories about trying to get medical marijuana and candidly says he is getting honors because he writes checks for donations.

He also says he doesn't think much of "The Simpsons" today, but if he was told he had to watch it to cash his royalty checks, he would. He started working for Filmation studio and said the most valuable lesson he learned there is to come up with a storyline that can be easily described.

All in all, it's a pretty good listen.
