He SHOULD'VE taken himself more seriously.

[@RAYGUNKNEESHURT]

I love Richard Simmons, he was a light. RIP.

[@dustinprewitt]

Richard and Dave had such comic chemistry, either intentionally or unintentionally

[@chrisarseneault5617]

He was a ray of sunshine in the cloudiest of skies. He will be missed.

I never thought I'd miss the early 90's but here we are....

[@ryansetzer694]

RIP Richard. Always so hilarious on Letterman.

[@bambufan3636]

We need a Richard Simmons Week on this channel every year.

[@seanwebb605]

Sort of like Shark Week.

[@bambufan3636]

@@seanwebb605 Sort of but with fewer sharks and more Richard Simmons.

[@seanwebb605]

@@bambufan3636 We're going to need a bigger party boat.

[@gmailemail671]

He was a wonderful good Joly soul

[@stonewal316]

Just type “letterman richard simmons” on youtube at this time every year and you’re all set bud.

[@octowuss1118]

I’ll always remember him for his upbeat, innocent nature. RIP, you gentle soul❤️

[@aaronsarchive82]

Richard looked like he was a blast to be around. RIP, good sir. 🙏

[@dankim23]

No matter what Dave said to Richard, you always knew Dave ❤him

[@vlady8me]

Thanks for putting Richard Simmons in my face often enough for me to learn to appreciate what a peach of a human he was! RIP Richard you beautiful B!

[@BeingBoringx2]

David played into Richard's antics giving Richard room to shine and always with respect.

[@ohmtronseedling]

that's great comedy. Dave and Richard were amazing together.

[@illiamdeebe7579]

"I am a lineman for the county..." omg perfect lol

[@Chris-kq9lb]

That was fantastic! I love Dave with Pee-wee Herman, with Richard Simmons, and especially Connie Chung.

[@cindy-hz2xb]

Rest in peace richard. Dave and richard were always so hilarious together ❤❤

[@lllll99999-f]

RIP Richard. Such an original. His rays of sunshine will be missed ❤

[@gkennedy2998]

Aw. Richard Simmons is in paradise making everyone do jumping jacks to the oldies! God Bless!

[@leonardsteinberg4838]

Dave's humor is tongue in cheek, so the perfect pairing. RIP Richard.

[@VHer5150]

Richard and Dave had great chemistry

[@thegood9]

LOVED the play back and forth between these two. It made for amazing tv. We loved it! Miss ya, Richard!

[@Rocknrollerrink]

He and Letterman together were just awesome.

[@jimmyjames2022]

Great way to remember Richard, an afternoon entertaining folks with Dave on the street, thanks!

[@shoganguy33]

Love this bit. They worked off each other so well.

[@VegasInsight]

That was the best. Richard was funny as a guest, but this remote they did was beyond outstanding.

[@dhammarosi]

Yes, brought a big smile to my face. This is genious

[@michelleagleton2344]

He was a ray of sunshine. Always happy. Rest in peace Richard Simmons.

[@Jim_L]

Richard Simmons on the very old, early Howard Stern Show and with a much younger David Letterman (like in this clip) was comedy gold! You knew you were in for a treat! 😆

[@kitkatt24]

I love Richard. RIP.

[@the_love_token]

What a sweet and hilarious man. RIP Richard.

[@johngroves9828]

They were so darn funny together.

[@brittlizzzzzz]

Rest well Richard 💜 you'll be missed

[@SueProv]

I need me some nonsense. This stuff is hilarious

[@johnpelletier7641]

One of the greatest duos of all time. Richard was such a great person.

[@LAGreg123]

When he was at his best, like here, there was nothing better than Dave before or since. Richard knew what he was in for each time and embraced it. Just perfection on all fronts.

[@curtislindsey1736]

Damn, that was great. He was so funny and such a good sport. I forgot how much I missed Richard and now we can't get him back.❤😢

[@josephpastor9321]

God bless Richard Simmons...❤

[@promich7194]

Always brilliantly, infectiously funny.

[@BarneeFife]

Never a big fan, but he was entertaining and tried to help mankind by example, imploring people to live healthy and be kind. Always the optimist. We could use a lot more like him these days. RIP Richard.

[@bessiemorris5282]

Oh my goodness how i miss richard simmons now and all of the ones that we lost this weekend and through the years my heart is broken st all of the losses we have taken with all of these amazing and beautiful people i also miss you david letterman seeing you on the tonigjt show thank you for all of the wonderful shows that you gave to us dave you are one awsome man❤

[@RH-ig1iw]

One of my all time favorite comedic duos: Richard and Dave. There was nothing I loved more than staying up late on Friday night to watch Dave. Whenever Richard came out it was the best night of my life. RIP Richard. I hope you're sweating away up in heaven.

[@dhammarosi]

Ah, same here 🥲

[@robwinder4218]

My favorite appearance was when Dave was razzing Richard for several minutes about his plans to go to medical school, and Richard finally says, "Dave, one day I'm gonna be a doctor and I'm gonna take your temperature!" 🤣

[@canoeman1961]

If ever you needed a smile, all you had to watch was Richard with Letterman.

[@cynthiafritze7418]

I’m smiling during this whole thing. Scattered pictures Of the smiles we left behind Smiles we gave to one another For the way we were ❤

[@diyfilm1521]

RIP. There will never be another

[@littlevenom]

2:12 the way Richard just rolled with it and delivered the performance of a lifetime dude???? That is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

[@TerrySlaven-zd3um]

I could watch Dave and Richard flirt all day long.

[@ninestories2]

I am a lineman for the county! 🎶

[@thenightporter]

And the custoner's reaction 😂😂

[@Exiled.New.Yorker]

A diamond who shone bright despite his flaws.

[@cynthiafritze7418]

Rest In Peace Richard

[@darrellid]

Richard's appearances on Letterman brought so much laughter and so many good memories, probably at some expense to himself. He and Dave were comedy gold together. RIP and thank you for all those wonderful moments, Mr. Simmons.

[@antihero5203]

3:37 he was always a good sport whenever he was on Dave’s show.

[@DefinitelyNotBender]

David and Richard had nothing but love for one another. Anyone that thinks otherwise just wants to see negativity in everything and don't have a sense of humor. You can tell by the multiple uploads how Dave really felt towards Richard. Most people get just one video when they pass away. I have a feeling more of Richard are coming. Thanks Dave for the memories RIP Richard

[@charitysghost1207]

We miss you, Richard!! ❤

[@hardcoreep]

Touching tribute

[@sincityian]

Richard was always hilarious. RIP to one of the best we've ever had

[@Messonround]

Blessed soul R. I. P. Richard Simmons

[@jackstraw1756]

RIP Richard!

[@outtathyme5679]

They were sooo funny together

[@edrock5635]

Somehow Letterman was able to present some celebrities, who in other contexts put me off, as celebrities for whom I needed to revise my opinion. That was a genuine talent and I applaud Letterman for it.

[@AnnaAwesome77]

Ha!!! I love both of you!!! Always have, always will! 🎉 😂😂

[@Drew_D]

I have never seen this before! 😂 Rest in peace, Richard. We could all learn from your positivity.

[@williamcarr1255]

Dave and Richard were always comedy gold!

[@julieboolie1946]

Miss Richard Simmons ! He was so precious..

This made me happy and sad. If only there were more of him in the world. Rip Richard. ❤

RIP Richard Simmons My Idol!!! 🙏🙏🙏

A comedy duo for the ages

[@APTKSU]

Absolutely hilarious, and a bit sweet. RIP Richard.

[@bencyabraham2767]

This brings back such great memories. I remember watching this live. Dave & Richard were so good together. RIP Richard Simmons

[@jonathanmason2411]

Maybe Letterman and Stern’s greatest guest. He was gold

[@couchsurfing86]

Best comedy duo ever!

[@elizabethmckenna5397]

😂😂😂 wow! He was such a good man. I’ve seen him in several things that had me crying from laughing. But he helped a lot of people also. Rest in Peace Richard Simmons.

[@drewsef06]

I came to see a classic Letterman/Simmons clip as their banter together always made me laugh. RIP Richard Simmons.

[@cortneyperfume_madness480]

Great memories!❤

[@MrDemented669]

Richard was always funny on Letterman RIP

[@angelwalker979]

That's just about the funniest thing I've ever watched. RIP Richard 🕊

[@Lblu1181]

Rest in peace xx thank you for sharing, fun dynamic duo

[@SkyShedPODTeam]

A classic! I was sorry when Dave went to CBS and stopped going out on the road like that. He was so at at it. What a team they made in this case! RIP RS.

[@freckledone1073]

The "steamer" episode is everything.

[@MrGpschmidt]

My fave appearance of him was on LATE NIGHT and he came running thru the audience wearing a tuxedo top w/his trademark shorts & as he sat down to settle in Dave said, "Man you look like midnight at the Port Authority!"

[@juice75]

whenever i think of richard simmons I think of david letterman.

[@iPerryL]

RIP thank you

The walking away kills me everytime lol

Loved Richard.

I want full episodes cause now I wanna see Dave Attell

[@stevenjones9364]

Always loved when Richard was a guest! I sure hope he had the chance to meet Barbra Streisand.

[@stevenwillow2525]

Crazy how much Bill Hader and David Letterman look like each other wow.. RIP Richard Simmons

[@padistedor]

Probably one of the funniest bits ever made for late night tv.

[@ihorperec4990]

RIP Richard Simmons. What a genius of entertainment. Not only did he save millions of people from obesity, depression and perhaps even suicide, he also entertained them like a professional comedian. In fact David Letterman seemed pretty tame in comparison. You will never be forgotten, Richard. 💙💙💙💙💙

[@lurx2024]

This pair ought to have filmed a buddy cop movie or perhaps even a buddy cop franchise.

[@SeenGod]

man Richard Simmons was one of a kind, nobody did it quite like he did👍

[@DexterWhite-v8i]

There are MANY people like R.S.

[@dianabehney9096]

ty Dave…I loved that video❤

[@jamesbarksdale6562]

Pioneer of the time, I think he try do right thing for man-kind ❤❤❤

[@HardRockMiner]

Sometimes you never know you like someone until they are gone.

[@verbo108]

You can tell why Richard was such a delight. You can tell why Cher thought what she thought of Dave.
