I like Richard...he’s kind
Four foot, eleven inches or so...
I like Richard too. He has never promoted gimmicky weight loss, it all centered on eating correctly and exercising. He looks very thin in that video. I really respect what he does.
Used to love hearing Simmons on The Stern Show ...
I don’t care who he voted for or what his sexual orientation is, he’s always seemed kind and caring. I’ve seen several interviews with him and seems to also be genuine in his deeds.
Well, like with all Libs, the road to hell...
Stern the ONLY one who could make an interview with Simmons interesting... same as with George Takai lol
As much as we can make fun of Richard Simmons (I will never forget Sam Kinison having sport at the “Sweating to the Oldies” video set), he seems like a genuinely nice guy. And he doesn’t promote fad diets. Flame On!
He is a business owner,pays taxes, he isn’t taking government handouts, he isn’t breaking the law, he provides a service in a free enterprise system. Chances are, he isn’t that thrilled with your sexual orientation either. ;^)
I always thought Richard Simmons was a real-life cartoon character, but based on everything I’ve read about him it seems like he’s a genuinely nice guy.
No one can deny the man has helped thousands upon thousands of people and raised them out of the depths of depression and hopelessness.
I had a cousin who struggled between his beliefs and his human weaknesses (gay lifestyle), but I know that in his heart he loved the Lord but was tormented and torn, so much it killed him. I'd rather reach out with kindness and love, rather than Fred Phelps'ng them.
I like Richard, as well. A genuine gift for what he does, and he does it honestly, with no agenda but what you see.
I hate to interrupt the Richard Simmons love fest (oh, does THAT evoke mental images!), but he’s not always Mr. Nice Guy.
You could look it up.

Richard Simmons rocks!. He defended himself in an Arizona airport against some guy making fun of him and his oldies regimen. Knocked him on his be-hind. He was on Whose Line Is It Anyway years back. It was THE funniest episode I’ve ever seen. He had Wayne Brady sucking his thumb, curled up in the fetal position by the end of the show!
That whose line episode is definitely NOT for the kids, was the funniest episode ever. Drew was crying with laughter, Wayne was fetal, it was simply hilarious.
