Missing Richard Simmons is a fascinating podcast from… Jesus Christ, seven years ago 💀
It covers the influence of Richard, and his sudden and complete withdrawal from public life in 2014.
He seemed to give of himself almost compulsively for most of his life.
I hope his final years were peaceful and joyous.
One theory about why he disappeared is because he had to have bilateral knee replacements and couldn’t exercise anymore. I thought that sounded pretty plausible.
That’s why you shouldn’t work out.
It’s ok, I thought it was funny
I thought his rampant positivity got him
It was always tinged with darkness
I’m legitimately sad. What a nice man he seemed to be.
Some people are so clearly a positive influence on the world around them, it’s always a little extra devastating to see them go.

Letterman is no spring chicken himself, I think he’s older

Damn, that sucks. Richard Simmons always seemed like one of the nicest, most genuinely good-hearted people in Hollywood. The world is just a little bit worse off without him.
I’ll never be able to think of him without thinking of his spectacular performance on Whose Line Is It Anyway.
Why is everyone so young!!!
(This is not a question, do not answer)Anolamies in the space-time continuum.
Look on the bright side.
We might get a Simmons-bot
Lmao that was hilarious. Richard Simmons was absolutely hamming it up.
Ty for sharing this. I laughed until I cried.
And I cried till I laughed, what a vicious cycle!
Fr he was a part of my childhood especially with a parent that struggled with weight. He was probably the first person I seen on tv that made me feel like it was ok to be weird.
I can’t believe Richard Simmons’ final act was to try and get trump once and for all.
Fuck god… That asshole takes Richard Simmons and leaves us Trumpfus? WTF god? !!! What the fuck are you doing???

This fucking blows.
Rip legend
Rest in peace, Richard. You were a truly beautiful person.
Dealing meals in heaven. What an utter chad this man was. People have no idea how to even appreciate him and what he tried to do.
My mon got into a health and fitness phase thanks to Simmons who probably added years if not decades to her healthspan. Thanks to him I got to share more moments with my mom, and I’m sure I’m it the only one who indirectly benefited from his work.
Thanks Richard
Oh, shit. I sorta forgot about him. A real icon from my childhood.
That’s too bad. I never really got his shtick, but he seemed legit and any stories I ever heard of people interacting with him were always positive. His passing is definitely a loss.
Wow Richard Simmons and Doctor Ruth in the same day. The Grim Reaper is busy
Someone is after our health gurus.
Keeping entire generations moving. RIP
