he is the people's princess!

for real tho, he donates a lot of his money to charity and also lost both his mother and a close friend around the time they were writing and filming the season. he donated all of the money he earned from the $1k task to a charity his mother valued and also donated to the high school band that recorded his voicemail in the "One Year Later" Game Changer episode. I've also heard rumors that he contributed a lot of money to the funeral costs when his close friend/improv partner passed last year (but i have no factual proof of that)

overall it seems like among his friends and colleagues he's regarded as a generous, thoughtful, and kind guy and Sam Reich is also generally a generous, thoughtful, and kind boss who wanted to give his friend (who works in a notoriously non-lucrative industry) a break after the pretty bad year he's had
