An excerpt:

Diagnosed with terminal cancer in late 2012, Simon, 58, has spent as much time as possible in recent months focused on the same charitable efforts that have defined his non-TV-related work since his departure from “The Simpsons” in 1993. (The former showrunner for “Taxi” still puts in one day a week on “Anger Management.) As he tells�The Hollywood Reporter�in an extensive interview for the Aug. 2 issue, his fight to protect animals and end hunger via his�Sam Simon Foundation�and other endeavors won’t stop for a little thing like the end of his life.

During a Marc Maron podcast in May, Simon announced the news of his terminal prognosis. He also told listeners that the “tens of millions” of dollars that “The Simpsons” earns in royalties each year will all go to charity. Speaking to THR, Simon clarifies that he’s worked with the Rockefeller Foundation to ensure that his own charity work — from rescuing animals to utilizing the principles of veganism to feed the hungry — is “something that will be living after I’m gone.”
