Richard Simmons (12 July 1948) is a fitness expert who promotes weight-loss programs, most famously through a line of aerobics videos and television programs. He is known for his endlessly happy and flamboyant personality.
Personality
Simmons is notable for his high-energy and motivational demeanor, an attribute he often uses to help encourage people to lose weight. His trademark attire is candy-striped Dolfin shorts and tank tops decorated with Swarovski crystals. He is also well known for his naturally curly hair, which has led to physical comparisons between him and 70's pop singer Leo Sayer.[citation needed]
Simmons has always been known for his "personal touch", interacting at a personal level with the people using his products. This began when he started personally answering fan mail he received while a cast member of General Hospital. Simmons still personally answers emails and letters, and makes hundreds of phone calls each week to those who seek his help. He also talks to people on the air during his radio show, and holds weekly live chats in the "clubhouse" area of his website. His appearances also include a "meet and greet" time, so that people can speak to him one on one.
Speculation about personal life
Based on his exuberance, as well as his apparel and appearance, Simmons has often been the subject of speculation about his personal life, particularly about his sexual orientation. Simmons has never spoken publicly about his personal life, though he has criticized those who "assume" he is gay just because he "doesn't act like a typical man."
In a deleted scene from The Simpsons episode "Burns' Heir", Mr. Burns forces Homer to leave his property by unleashing a robotic Richard Simmons. This scene later aired as an outtake in the 138th Episode Spectacular.[1]
In Family Guy episode Death Is a Bitch, a drunken Peter Griffin proves his immortality by taunting scary looking bikers with the questions "Hey, aren't you Richard Simmons?" and "Aren't you Richard Simmons' best friend, Richard Simmons?".
Simmons was a frequent guest on The Howard Stern Show in the 1990s. He refused to appear after Stern insulted Simmons one too many times. Simmons finally reappeared on Stern's show on November 16, 2006.[3]
Simmons was also a frequent guest on Late Night with David Letterman (NBC) and The Late Show with David Letterman (CBS). [4] On November 22, 2000, they had a falling out after an incident that occurred on that night's show. Simmons (while dressed as a turkey) was sprayed in the face by Letterman with a fire extinguisher after Simmons grabbed Letterman as if to hug or kiss him, causing Simmons to have a severe asthma attack.[5] Simmons did not appear on the Letterman show for six years, finally returning on November 29, 2006. During that appearance, Letterman once again set Simmons up for a prank. While Richard Simmons was demonstrating a steamer branded with his name, Letterman insisted on placing a tray under the steamer which Simmons did not believe belonged there. When Simmons turned the steamer on, something in the tray under it exploded and started burning. Though initially scared, Simmons took the incident in fairly good nature, even joking that he "felt like Michael Jackson" (referring to a mishap where Jackson's hair was set on fire by a malfunctioning light.)[6]
