Sam was just amazing for his time on this show. Until recently, I didn't know he was a wiggly dancer as early as "Toot Toot" in 1998, or that he was Greg's understudy since 2002. He served the wiggles for such a long time, stepping on stage when Greg could not and giving the show his all. He even won five ARIA awards during his time as the yellow wiggle, which is super impessive, and the Wiggles even got inducted into the ARIA's haul of fame. That's a massive accomplishment and made me appreciate Sam even more.

And then all of a sudden in 2011-2012, Sam was made to leave when Greg stepped back in. I heard the reason why Murray wasn't in those interviews about Greg coming back was because he was appaled at the way Anthony and Jeff had treated Sam, and that Greg didn't consider Sam's side of the story when stepping back into the yellow skivvy. Yes, I am aware Greg didn't get closure back then and that's a very understandable concern, but Sam being thrown on the cruve like that meant he didn't get closure either. Five years on a show is a very long time. In fact, with the way he was going, I was sure Sam was going to remain in the wiggles for good, and that the others would see how well he did. But that didn't turn out to be the case.

But, I'm proud of Sam for being able to find a new calling: Play Along With Sam. I haven't seen any matrial yet, but from what I hear, he's doing really well. He even got an ARIA award going solo. If that's not a sure way to bounce back, I don't know what is.
