The greatest time for listening to the show. Richard, et al , had me laughing till my stomach hurt. It's terrible how bad things have changed since those days. Just a great time every morning.
I love these earlier Richard appearances when Howard and him would actually make sly cracks about him being gay and Richard was fine with it. Then in the early 90s when Richard really became mega famous you can tell he got way uptight about it and Howard eventually stops making any reference to it. The appearances are still gold, but these early ones are the best.
@@v.b9139what in the actual fxck are you blabbering about. We come here to laugh and get away from the jaded fxcks out there. How did you get here lol.
Let's not pretend that Richard isn't a MILLIONAIRE from his "good deeds." Sure, he helped a lot of people, but he didn't exactly do it at zero cost. If Richard wants to be the Queen of his castle in seclusion, he can certainly afford it.
Richard really was just a businessman playing a character. If he actually cared so much he wouldn’t continue to come on for promo after Howard was so brutal toward his clients. I’m sure he’s not a bad guy but he’s also not this character 24/7.
Naah, the funniest was when Howard had two of Richard's clients on his Ch.9 TV show, and dangled whole chickens and bags of potato chips in front of them.
@@MrBronx61 Even funnier than that was Howard's description of it in his first book: "Richard was bragging about his Deal a Meal plan with these two former fatsos sitting next to him and we had a ham and a big bag of potato chips on fishing rods dangling in front of them. 'Howard, how could you?' Richard started crying. But I guess his program worked after all, since they didn't eat the food."
A group of dogs act like your obsessive fan club and follow you around like you’re Paul mccartny walking around San Fran or something, a different dynamic than cats but fair point
50:22 it's funny you can see how Richard changes a little when he has to be 'on' again. Howard: Okay, you gotta leave? Where're you goin'? What're you doin' today? Richard: Why? Uh, Florida. Howard: Oh, Florida? Richard: Oh are we on? Howard: Yeah Richard: We're going to Florida for the.. 'Senior Olympics', it's going to be a wonderful time!
@doves9204 The Richard Simmons persona was definitely a conscious thing. There's the tape Howard talks about where he's swearing, getting aggressive etc on his old TV show which is 100% true and he heavily denies it and gets annoyed when it's brought up. I think it was just an image thing.
The funniest thing Howard has ever said in his entire career is that his mother is not Jewish. As Gilbert Gottfried said "Howard's parents are so Jewish Simon Wiesenthal called them k1kes"
Michael, the guy who he mentions around 25:00 slimmed down to under 200 lbs for awhile, but then he began gaining the weight back and avoiding Richard and they had a teary reunion on TV after Michael had gotten pretty huge again, though maybe not as big as he was originally.
Could you imagine being that niece of Walter Hudson that answered the phone??? Lol all of a sudden her massive uncle is some kinda media fixation and you are on the phone with Howard and Richard Simmons for real. She must have felt like she was on an acid trip or something lol
Old clips of Howard denying he's Jewish are my favorites. He would CRUCIFY someone for "Not being honest" these days! I love how he acts like he "knows a LITTLE Hebrew" and asks what's up with the yarmulka as if he had NO idea! LOLOL! Flash forward to 2021 and he proudly plays all the old audio of his bar mitzvah days with his 13 year old self perfectly reciting the torah! happily telling stories of his 100% Jewish upbringing as if he DIDN'T spend DECADES of his career denying it! His mother's last name was SCHIFFMAN!!! He never even has the balls to address the fact that he used to blatantly lie about it.
@Stranded NYer I've been watching/listening to Howard since 1989. He was fully denying it. In this clip he is absolutely not "joking." but if you want to continue being a little baby girl over it, be my guest
@@Mysterycat74 yeah the guy was a compulsive liar but at least it was more entertaining than the celebrity kiss-ass he is now. IMO he "joined 'em" to prevent being retroactively canceled 😂
@@gsesquire3441 It sounds like he had a very enabling family. He was bedridden and ate enormous amounts of food every day that others had to prepare for him.
It's also a really good musical! Lots of jazz standards came from it but NO ONE remembers it, except Richard and Howard. See: Nina Simone doing Feeling Good or anyone else doing Who Do I Turn To?
This is definitely one of the best Richard appearances. Howard toned it down with the teasing of Richard and Richard toned down the "I'm offended and leaving" schtick.
That salad spray device he's talking about isn't a bad idea. Walter Hudson was a bedridden man in New York who weighed nearly 1200 lbs at his peak. He died of a heart attack in 1991 (age 47). The fire department had to bust out a wall to remove his body from his apartment.
Howard making fun of old people, now he’s close to 70. Wonder how he feels about old people jogging now? Does he think it’s stupid and silly? Never make fun of old people, because it’ll be your turn one day.
I hate when people do that. It’s gross because obviously it happens to all of us but elderly people are vulnerable why would you make fun of someone like that.
Forget that! Old people even make fun of other old people and goof on their peers! Everything is fair game for poking fun. This is what makes life grand.
Seriously though how rude and inconsiderate is Richard to make this entrance… just starts screaming when someone is in the middle of the sentence making it all about him. Howard was right the way he acted during hurricane Katrina
The greatest time for listening to the show. Richard, et al , had me laughing till my stomach hurt. It's terrible how bad things have changed since those days. Just a great time every morning.
A different time, Howard asks him; "how many deal a meal points is a boy scout?"😂

Damn he burned howard so bad "if you and Barbara Strisand dated you'd never be able to kiss" ! Love Richard
no, i m serious
Burning his idol just as hard
I hope Richard Simmons is ok and finds some happiness, however that may be. Such a good guy
He used Katrina for fame I remember. He was all over Howard in 2005.
Let's not pretend that Richard
isn't a MILLIONAIRE from his
"good deeds."
Sure, he helped a lot of people,
but he didn't exactly do it at zero cost.
If Richard wants to be the Queen of his castle in seclusion,
he can certainly afford it.
I just hope he’s happy, healthy, and banging as many chicks as possible.
Richard really was just a businessman playing a character. If he actually cared so much he wouldn’t continue to come on for promo after Howard was so brutal toward his clients. I’m sure he’s not a bad guy but he’s also not this character 24/7.
You are the greatest thank you. I've been listening to all the previous Richard Simmons clips countlessly waiting for a new one
thank u. its hard to be humble.
Richard is awesome
He's a fruit
The part where howard “tries” getting Walter Hudson on the phone for Richard Simmons is probably the funniest all time bit of American entertainment
Naah, the funniest was when Howard had two of Richard's clients on his Ch.9 TV show, and dangled whole chickens and bags of potato chips in front of them.
I agree
Only all time bit of _American_ entertainment? This is RUclips. Gotta be at least all time of _Interstellar_ entertainment.
@@MrBronx61 Even funnier than that was Howard's description of it in his first book: "Richard was bragging about his Deal a Meal plan with these two former fatsos sitting next to him and we had a ham and a big bag of potato chips on fishing rods dangling in front of them.

"3 yard dash"
😄
Another great Jackie line.
Jackie years forever!!!
If anyone can coax Richard out of hiding, it's Howard.
Or a Boy Scout
Never heard this. Thanks
10:20 Listen to Howard mocking Richard for having 6 dogs...meanwhile Howard has been living with multiple dogs, cats and a horse. what a hypocrite.
6 dogs is way different than 6 cats. 6 dogs all you see is dogs 24/7. I have 4 cats and I barely see them
A group of dogs act like your obsessive fan club and follow you around like you’re Paul mccartny walking around San Fran or something, a different dynamic than cats but fair point
Howards horse follows him around like he has apples in his pocket.
This was the old Howard before the space aliens took him away in 2005 and replaced him with what we have now
@@staticcharm3808 Yeah! The space aliens called “Satellite Radio!” (I’m talking about you Sirius/XM)
Thank you!
Thanks for the upload!
If Howard is half-jewish than Richard is half-gay
He couldn't be any gayer if his name was Gay Gayerson
Daddy's girl, has been a bad girl.🤣🤣🤣
Rest in peace 🕊️
Ahh CHIP please post anything Richard Simmons.. I'm so in need of new material
Second best guest of all time. 1) Gilbert, 2) Richard Simmons, 3) Mark Harris
What about Sam?
Pat Cooper snd joan rivers have to be uo there also.
Eric the Ack Actor
Riley Martin #1

Howard: Okay, you gotta leave? Where're you goin'? What're you doin' today?
Richard: Why? Uh, Florida.

Richard: Oh are we on?

CHIP!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤
And I thought I’d heard all of them. Great clip
He was always great on the show.
Remember when Howard laughed about people treating pets like children? Ooooof
The funniest thing Howard has ever said in his entire career is that his mother is not Jewish. As Gilbert Gottfried said "Howard's parents are so Jewish Simon Wiesenthal called them k1kes"
Howard is half Jewish half Italian.
Gilbert is probably the only guest better than Richard, especially when he does Dracula or Gilbert Dice.
@@BullittKid08 Yes, he's also a vietnam vet.
William Shatner also told him “Howard, there’s no use saying you’re half Jewish, because you look completely Jewish” 😂
@@BullittKid08
And heterosexual
Michael, the guy who he mentions around 25:00 slimmed down to under 200 lbs for awhile, but then he began gaining the weight back and avoiding Richard and they had a teary reunion on TV after Michael had gotten pretty huge again, though maybe not as big as he was originally.
It's too bad that Richard has become a depressed recluse these days.
Breaks my heart.
Seriously
Richard brought such joy to me with his HSS 90s appearances
Makes me sad that he's old and depressed now
That healthy drug like runners high is absent these days
More like an attention seeking grifter
So Richard Simmons used Sebastian “Wet Look” hair product back in the 1980’s, way before Howard. 😂😂😂
Simmons inspired Stern in SOOOOOOO many ways!
youre a newbie
Love the thumbnail.... Richard Simmons holding a litter of dalmatians surrounded by dog poop bags...😂😂😂😂😂
Could you imagine being that niece of Walter Hudson that answered the phone??? Lol all of a sudden her massive uncle is some kinda media fixation and you are on the phone with Howard and Richard Simmons for real. She must have felt like she was on an acid trip or something lol
49:38 “First you got fat, then you worked that into a career” 😂😂😂😂😂 Robin is great😂😂
. RIP Richard Simmons
Thx!
Simmons helps alot of people.
Best part: 39:32

Jackie laughed his hardest during Richard Simmons visits and Beetlejuice visits and I agree with his tastes.
1 800 Big Fats lol
Love him
Walter died 3 years after this broadcast. He weighed 1,025 pounds at the time of his death.
Jeez that is sad but amazing that a human body can even get that big and live for any amount of time. Thats heavier than 3 silverback gorillas!
@@gsesquire3441 It sounds like he had a very enabling family. He was bedridden and ate enormous amounts of food every day that others had to prepare for him.
29:55 Broadway deepcut from Richard. No one, not even us f-words, know The Roar of the Greasepaint-The Smell of the Crowd. I had to look it up.
It's also a really good musical! Lots of jazz standards came from it but NO ONE remembers it, except Richard and Howard. See: Nina Simone doing Feeling Good or anyone else doing Who Do I Turn To?

the salad spray stuff ended up being quite popular for a time and they mention it in another one of Richard's appearances
The idea of a giant chandelier falling on Richard & 30 fat people in wheelchairs is the funniest thing I have EVER heard
Holy mackerel!
More like Holy MAAACKEL
never heard this one before
nvm I heard the Walter Hudson part before not the beginning lol

Omg yes
Around the 2:45 mark is why Richard became a shut-in. Howard's a d-head sometimes.
And it’s also Howard’s fault that Jackie left and Artie became a heroin addict.
1 800 bigfats🤣
He was funny and so phoney. He did help some of the obese. So that's good
27:06 Richard 😭😂
Richard was always getting injured randomly. It ultimately cost him his life. Football players get injured less
14:45🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
47:18🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Deal a vomit...omg🤣🤣🤣
