His name is Sam Simon, and he left The Simpsons in 1993, but retained the title "Executive Producer". Because of the show he has riches beyond any of our wildest dreams. Unfortunately, he also has terminal cancer, and when he was diagnosed Simon began to give away his fortune to charity. The Hollywood Reporter has the story.
I applaud him for his efforts. He really shows us all that the old adage really is true--you can't take it with you.
