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. (www.youtube.com)

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

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.

2003?! Omg this show is on air for so long and those 3 are still as funny!

It started in the 90s

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

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.

Thank you, show is some of the best television ever.

I just saw this episode the other night!

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

What are those fabulous vibes?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

That was great, I have a headache from laughing!

They don't make comedy this funny no mo.
