There are 3 people listed as creators of the Simpsons. Sam and the other guy that isn't Groening were producers on Traci Ullman's show and OKd the segment in exchange for creator credits. Similar story w/ Paul Anka and the Tonight Show theme. Johnny Carson had him write a song, liked it, then told him to add him as a songwriter or he wasn't going to use it. 50% is better than 0%

Sam left after a few seasons, but he still gets a cut of everything. Sam was married to Jennifer Tilly for the first 6 months of the Simpsons. Sam has said that her take from the Simpsons so far is in the 9 figures.

Sam has good stories, but he is an elitist tree hugger/bed wetter.
