People mercilessly made fun of him back in the day. It was too bad because he always seemed like he was genuinely excited to be alive. We need more of that energy.
With the sad news about Richard Simmons passing away, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite moments of him, when he guest stared on Who's Line Is It Anyway back in 2003.

So genuinely funny. I remember him doing that kind of bit from the beginning. What a gem.

I’m remembering him on the Carson show. Only a few people ever get the best of Carson, Richard Simmons did it almost every time.

Few of us can pull off shorts that short, but those of us that can simply skip a lot of pages in the kama sutra.

That man has always made me vaguely uncomfortable.

Thanks for sharing, he was talked about a lot when I was a kid but I never really understood why so much. Watching this I can’t help wonder if it was because he made homophobes uncomfortable (not that he was openly gay)

You’d have to be deaf and blind to not realize that man is gay

He is such a treasure. I miss his energy already. Fuck aging.
