Here’s Richard Simmons Going Off the Rails on Live TV This Week!



Richard Simmons was on Access Hollywood Live this morning, and as usual, he was a roller-coaster of emotions and moods. Things started out animated, energetic, wacky: He did an "Indian" accent and also put a bowl on his head (while making some kind of jokey face). But he hates when he's not the center of attention.

So when Maksim Chmerkovskiy showed up, Simmons pretended to throw up in his mouth, then had a hissy fit and pretended to leave the set. He stuck around, making sure he was on camera, but eventually wandered around aimlessly. Later, when it was clear they were ignoring him and going on with the show, he threw himself across a table and played dead for a while.

When it was finally time for his segment, Simmons went from singing and making jokes to (faux?) tearfully describing overweight people with no self-worth. But immediately after his weepy speech, he went right back to cracking, "I was a fishstick in my last life."

Lawl. My mom said that Richard Simmons ran out of his limo when my parents were in Philadelphia on vacation just to tell her that I was just the most damn cutest baby he's ever seen while a bunch of people were just freaking out and crowding around her. My mom had no idea who he was at the time so she was so confused what was happening until my dad told her who he was.

i love it when Howard Stern makes him cry!

I legit just watched the whole thing. Before Howard moved to Sirius, I listened to his show all the time. I miss him, tbh. He's sick of running? Me, too, man. It gets old.

Love Robin, always have, she is so cool.

Richard kissed Gary at least 7 times. I've wondered if Richard's gay, but I don't think he is. I get an asexual vibe from him.

I know his heart is in the right place, and I know he really does good work, but I have to admit I wouldn't be able to be around him for more than five minutes honestly.

I'm an MSW intern on an inpatient psychiatric unit and sometimes the occupational therapists use his videos (from like the 1980s lol) when they do group on Fridays and I can't help but laugh.
