Sam Simon has metastatic cancer - National howard stern | Examiner.com

Howard Stern Show regular Sam Simon revealed Monday that doctors estimate he has only months to live now that the colorectal cancer he was diagnosed with in 2012 has now metastasized and spread to his other organs.

Simon revealed the grim news on Howard 100 reporter Jon Leiberman's weekday news show "Leiberman: Live at 5" on Howard 101. Simon said he was all ready to set sail with The Sea Shepherds to stop illegal Japanese whalers last year when doctors gave him the bad news.

"I had all my stuff ready to go for the adventure of my life, but instead I got a different kind of adventure...I’ve had the greatest life in the world. So, when it comes to talking about disappointments, they’re very high end disappointments, and there's not many of them, but this [missing the trip] would be the biggest one.”

Simon said that he got the cancer diagnosis about five months ago, when a doctor reluctantly estimated that he had three to six months to live.

"The diagnosis was--I was feeling bad for a couple years, and I was diagnosing myself from television talk shows, so I was taking antidepressants and I was trying to get my testosterone levels up...but then it turned out my primary cancer was colon cancer that had spread to my liver, kidneys, abdominal connective tissues and my lymph system and maybe my brain. They're not sure about that."

Simon is now undergoing chemotherapy, which he called "horrible"

One of the original partners of The Simpsons...and a wonderful supporter of Animal Rights. Truly sad news. Heartbreaking.
 
Wasn't sure what would be the best thread, but more Veronica Mars as a movie via Kickstarter? Yes please!
 
I just figured the Terriers guys would make a brief appearance in the Veronica film, since they pretty much take place in the same part of the world.

I would totally invest in a second season of Firefly to be sold on BlueRay/DVD because I am fully convinced it would make a profit. Also, I would get to watch a second season of Firefly.
 
Joss Whedon Explains Why He Isn't Kickstarting Firefly... Yet - Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

I’ve said repeatedly that I would love to make another movie with [the Firefly cast], and that remains the case. It also remains the case that I’m booked up by Marvel for the next three years, and that I haven’t even been able to get Dr. Horrible 2 off the ground because of that.

So I don’t even entertain the notion of entertaining the notion of doing this, and won’t. Couple years from now, when Nathan’s no longer Castle and I’m no longer the Tom Hagen of the Marvel Universe and making a giant movie, we might look and see where the market is then. But right now, it’s a complete non-Kickstarter for me.

Pushing Daisies, Chuck And Terriers Might Be The Next TV-To-Movie Kickstarters. Maybe - Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

Similar to Adgy's post but for us Chucksters their is a little bit more...

EW reached out to Levi for more news on the project:

“We are entering into the wild west of entertainment where essentially everybody can do what only studios could do for the last 70 years…[Kristen Bell and Rob Thomas] loved what they did with the show, and they love the connection that the fans have with it, and, to me, that’s the best thing you can have. That’s how I felt about Chuck. I love the family that we had making that show, and I love the impact and connection that we had with our fans, and that’s why I’ve always wanted to continue that journey. I went to both [executive producer] Chris Fedak and [Warner Bros. Television president] Peter Roth at the very end of the fifth season and said, ‘Hey what if we made an online movie and just sold it directly to fans? We could keep this going. It could be fun.’ Even though that was only a few years ago, we’re obviously at a different time.

All I can say at this point is that because Veronica Mars, like Chuck, is a Warner Bros. [production], and because Warner Bros. has now opened that gate, I feel confident in being able to get the same results for a Chuck movie. If Warner Bros. is game, I’ve got great ideas for what the movie would be that I’m very excited about.”

If a Chuck movie does get off the ground, would co-star Yvonne Strahovski be involved?

“I talked to Yvonne [Strahovski] maybe a month ago and said, ‘If I can get this movie made, would you be open to doing [it]? Even an online version of it?’ And she was totally game. So I know that I’ve got the cast and crew on board.”

As for his feelings on what the Veronica Mars campaign has done as far as opening up avenues for fans:

“Field of Dreams it. If you build it, they will come. You’ve got to believe that if you have something good, people will believe in it. Don’t be a douche-y celebrity. Appreciate the fact that you only have a career because they care to watch the things that you do.”
