The Ralph impression sucked and was unfunny but I do love hearing the stories about how he stole 100 dollars or threw up at Howards house. I get the feeling that everyone hates Ralph.

Is this Mario person an actual child, or does he have Andy Milonakis syndrome or something? I'm having trouble imagining parents who would allow their child to spend any amount of time with Artie for any reason.

I laughed at the at times thinly veiled, at times outright blatant accusations about Ralph's sexuality and how that plays into his relationship with Howard, and any evidence that may exist of it that is used as blackmail.

I'm pretty sure the Ralph stealing $100 thing made it on Stern when it happened, but I never heard about the barf in the drying thing. There was that one story about Artie giving him $300 in "emergency cash" to get back to Howard's house only to have him catch a ride back to his own apartment and pocket the money.

But man, Artie is so bitter. He has already burned so many bridges and it just seems like he is out to burn more. Obviously the Stern show is torched (though I am curious what happens with Judd Apatow), but he riffs on Sam Simon in hell, talks poo poo about Kimmel and Carolla, etc. You tell he really wants to rail on Kimmel, but always backs off because he wants to continue to be an occasional guest.

That did come up on the Stern show before. Ralph accidentally ran his bike into a car and hurt his head. He stayed at Howard's house that weekend and threw up in his bed. Rather than tell anyone, he just put the blankets in the dryer. Howard said they found bits of regurgitated food inside of the dryer.

Artie believes Sam did some really heinous thing to him. I can't recall the details so someone else will fill you in but even if you think Artie is lying it's still probably true because Sam was well known for being an enormous piece of poo poo. Like a true blue, dyed in the wool piece of poo poo. And whatever happened soured Artie forever on Sam and the likelihood of Sam making morbid comments about Artie's death is also very plausible. Some people just don't get along :shrug:

Ralph described it as some horrible accident but the reality was nothing was wrong and he went to the hospital same day and nothing was found and he went to Howard's the next day and ate poorly and puked. It was Ralph being Ralph.

From what I remember and according to Artie: During the depths of Arties addiction Sam sent him a script where one of the parts was a depressed loser junkie and told Artie he would be perfect for that part.

I think that's what Artie said, forget where I heard it though I think it was one of the first youtube videos where Artie opens up about post-Howard days. I think it was the same video where he talks about thinking he knocked a chick up and almost had a kid but it turned out she lost the pregnancy?

Wasn't that Sam guy a Simpsons writer who died in the last couple years? He did it as a joke and as thanks for it Artie dedicated that creepy as hell multi-page manifesto of "I hope you die, I hate you, I hate what you did to me, you know what you did" freak out at the end of his first book to him in 100% seriousness?

Sam played jokes on people like you taking a magnifying glass to an ant is a joke to the ant. Sam was a mean, spiteful person and Artie's encounter with him wasn't some weird one-off of Sam's usually bright and happy personality. Sam was a miserable person and his "gently caress you" money enabled his "gently caress you" outlook on life. His misanthropy was a stark but real contrast to his love of animals.

Sam has a creator credit on The Simpsons. It always sounded to me based on his own stories that he was more of a well-connected producer who helped Matt get his show on Fox from The Tracey Ullman show. I mean Matt Groening created all the characters and came up with all the illustrations and whatnot. I always hated whenever Sam called in or got brought up on the air Howard would introduce him as "the creator of The Simpsons." Sam had a pretty nice career in the 80s for sure with Taxi and Cheers, but The Simpsons is Matt Groening's show.

Sam deserves a huge portion of credit for helping to shape The Simpsons into the show it became in the early years, the part of the show we all look back fondly on was due in large part to him as the creative voice behind the show. It's certainly Groening's baby but Sam played an enormous role in raising it (as did James L. Brooks).

Like, the seasons he worked on and drove the show as a creative force were 3 (or 4 if you really liked season 1) of the top 7-8 seasons on a show approaching 30 seasons. Season 4 alone is probably the best season of comedic television ever.

Sam was an enormous douche nobody liked but his contributions to TV and to The Simpsons in particular were enormous.

I've always loved this argument, and never tire of it.
I agree with Crotch Bat.

I think the issue is how you define creator. Since a lot goes into making a TV show, let alone a cartoon, I think you need to take a very expansive view of "creator".

Not that I don't believe you but do you have any sources or stories about this? It sounds really interesting. The only thing I know about Sam is he's connected to the simpsons and he let Ralph hang out with him. Bating a solid .500 there.

It's all word of mouth stuff I've read or heard over the years. 2 ex-wives, poker players disliked him, he left The Simpsons early because he couldn't get along with Brooks, Groening, and others. He wasn't a happy person and the theory, as I said earlier, was that the absurd amount of money he got from The Simpsons to basically not be there anymore allowed him to just be the biggest dick because he didn't need work anymore. He knew this and he acted on it.

He's probably no more of an rear end in a top hat than someone you've worked with in life but imagine that person with so much money that no threat of bridge burning could ever rein them in and make them at least passable as a coworker, someone that knows they're an rear end in a top hat and who likes being an rear end in a top hat and who knows the amount of money they have makes them impervious to repercussions from being an rear end in a top hat. That was Sam.

Yep. One of them, I believe it was the tip fortunately, he was caught and tried to play it off like a joke or something and he put the money back. I believe on the plane he just stole it and people saw it and chose to stay quiet about it for whatever reason.

the top google result for 'sam simon is an rear end in a top hat' posted:

Working with cartoonist Matt Groening, producer James L. Brooks, and a boatful of others, Simon was as responsible as anyone for the unique "Simpsons" sensibility, that combination of gleeful impudence and populist courtesy, which has made the show a pillar of global pop culture. Yet Simon’s tenure at the show lasted only its first four seasons, from 1989 to 1993. A tumultuous battle with Groening over the show's direction and its acclaim marked his brief but groundbreaking stint.
...

Whereas Groening’s approach to art was personal, Simon’s genius was recognizing the need for a grander stage than the skeletal backdrop of "Life in Hell" and the early "Simpsons" shorts. Simon brought the mentality of a "Taxi"- or "Cheers"-style ensemble cast to "The Simpsons," and built a world around them. A typical non-animated sitcom is severely limited in its background: the characters keep shuffling around in the same living rooms and bedrooms. It was Simon’s insight that animation allowed "The Simpsons" to sprawl across a vast canvas, illustrating new locations and inventing characters through the multifold voice talents of the cast. The Springfield the Simpsons inhabit is a mini-world on to itself, with its own rich mythology and history. Without Simon's vision, Homer might not be a regular among the sad-sacks at Moe's Tavern or have a delightful fiend like Mr. Burns as a boss. Bart might have only his sister and father as foils instead of Principal Skinner, Rod and Todd Flanders, and Comic Book Guy.
...

In running the writing staff, Simon could be a grueling taskmaster, as borne out by many accounts in John Ortved’s The Simpsons: An Uncensored, Unauthorized History. “Sam’s basically an rear end in a top hat—whom I adore,” his assistant Daria Paris told Ortved. Simon all but confessed as much to Vanity Fair: “In the pressure cooker of a TV show, it’s a little bit of a witches’ brew. I completely think I’m capable of being crazy. I probably was crazy when I was doing 'The Simpsons'.” Yet for all of Simon’s abusiveness, he was loved by almost all the writers who he worked with, who are often the most eloquent advocates for his centrality in the show's creation.

The next five results are variations of reports about Artie saying he hated him. I don't recall exactly why Artie hates him because they're all links to the now-gone youtube of Artie saying why.

To me it seems like these people who would know are saying that the Simpsons wouldn't have existed in anywhere near the form it exists now without Sam Simon and I don't really see a lot of evidence he was that much more of an rear end in a top hat than any successful person who doesn't tolerate mediocrity in an industry with zero room for complacency.

Sam also wrote this line, for which I feel he is deserved much forgiveness for everything else:
Montgomery Burns: "This anonymous clan of slack-jawed troglodytes has cost me the election, and yet if I were to have them killed, I would be the one to go to jail. That's democracy for you."

Bones heal. Chicks dig scars. And the United States of America has the best doctor-to-daredevil ratio in the world
I am going to throw in my 2 cents on a few of these topics

Most all of those Ralph stories about him taking money are all pretty close to 100%
The 4 main instances that I remember are as follows
1-Plane to Vegas, gang is playing Poker on a table. Ralph accused of taking money out of the pot.
2-Ralph gets hosed up in the Hamptons with the guys. Artie for some reason feels obligated to give him 300 for the Jitney or a cab or whatever. Ralph makes it home. The next day Artie has his driver hand deliver Ralph a bag he left in the Hamptons. Ralph proceeded to tip the driver 5 bucks and even though he had talked to Artie earlier and knew he had given him the money, Ralph didnt mention it or try to give it back to Artie...FYI Ralph claimed he got the Jitney back, which at last recollection cost $30
3-Taking money from waitress/strippers at scores. Ronnie actually called him out on this a few times. He would scoop up funny money and then cash it back in later.
4-Bubbas wedding...accused of possibly taking cards containing money from the gift table at the reception. Denied it and was ultimately correct when Hammel came forward as the one who caused the table to collapse and some of the cards getting lost


Sam Simon. Obviously I am a Simpsons person and I agree completely about the seasons that Sam was actively involved in being some of the most influential seasons of the Simpsons and animated comedy in general.....BUT yeah, but all accounts he is an rear end in a top hat and most stand ups HATE him.
Again, thats just word on the street but there is some evidence out there...even on the stern show. Find the interview with Dave Attell and Artie talking about filming Sam Simons poker show. You can tell Dave isnt too thrilled with man either.

A poster on reddit has a conspiracy theory that celebrities are avoiding appearing on THSS because of his association with Trump. Not necessarily agreeing with it, but it's interesting that there have been only two celebrity interviews in the last three weeks of shows, and one was Joe Buck (the use of the word "celebrity" might be a bit of a stretch here). Up until recently, it was rare to have a day when there was not at least one interview.
