Howard Stern Remembers Richard Simmons

[@thatfunk]

Richard Simmons was the kindest and most genuine person ever. You can tell what a loss it was for everyone in their voices.

[@billybatson22]

Between the clips and stories, this was a beautiful tribute to Richard. RIP

[@csomerville6653]

The world is lesser without him. An incredible loss.

[@dannelson5480]

He was honestly the sweetest human being. He helped my mom lose 150lbs and he actually called her to encourage her. He was as real as it gets especially when there were no cameras around.

[@dominicpardo4783]

He helped millions of people. He's a legend. He should be sainted.

[@deettekearns9092]

Thank you, Howard, Gary and Robin for staying in touch with Richard. He will be missed. Richard was THE BEST!!!

[@RamblinManMoto]

I met him at a hotel where I worked in college. The minute he hit the door, he was a ball of energy. I was on the phone and he came by screaming in his way "Helllllo! Hello hotel person!!!" The person I was talking to asked me as a joke if Richard Simmons was with me. Ha! He was fantastic!

[@KipArmadillo]

Fred's Richard Simmons' "GARY?!" drops always cracked me up. 😂

I so wanted Richard to come back to the show - heartbroken it won't happen now. He was one of a kind and his Stern show moments are just the best. RIP ❤

[@cameronwoodward1140]

Howard burned that bridge years ago

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

thank you for being so respectful to him.

[@DaddyOfTheSugarVariety]

That was actually really sweet.

[@whopper170]

I’ve been a Stern fan since the 80s. Some of Richard’s visits were some of the best media I ever heard period whether tv, radio, film, or print. Seriously. I’m ashamed to admit some of the best visits were when Howard poked fun at Richard, even driving him to tears, but I’m proud to also say it was heartwarming for him to come back to the show and having Howard and Richard find a middle ground where they could be their better selves. Thanks so much to Richard for being such a great guest, friend to the show, and such a great help to so many people.

I used to listen to Stern in the eighties too. Then I grew up.

I loved Richard. His heart was full of love for all. RIP Richard

[@louiserwin3726]

Richard went to school at FSU and I have seen him very low key on campus several times. Richard had class, warmth and a genuine presence. Always a Seminole and we are so proud he was part of our Unconquered Seminole Nation. RIP and thank you for being such a good person.

[@iamtimfoley]

Richard was, and will always be, the greatest guest the show ever had. Always in on the joke. Always played along.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks for this tribute! 💐 I couples of months before he passed, I felt the urge to send him a message of gratitude; I did so, through his website. He responded warmly. I'll treasure that tiny interaction on top of so much joy and inspiration he emanated.

[@MikeLavin]

Richard was an all-time great guest. So many hysterical appearances over the decades. RIP

[@jasmin0930]

[@adriannademadriguera4859]

IMO the best guest ever. Still held on to the cassette tapes of his visits. The ONLY TIME I heard my momma laugh when the show was playing in our home was when Richard was on - and when Howard did Ted and Joan Kennedy. Miss you Momma. Thank you Richard. Thank you Stern show.😘😘😘💚💙

[@user-gy8xe1om3o]

[@stevengudino7218]

Howard & Richard together was pure comedy gold. Opposites surely did attract with these two!! RIP to the greatest guest ever

[@edwardspriggs5076]

The best and most wonderful thing about him, was just him being himself, which isn't so easy, if you're unique but that's also what made him so lovable.

[@mpinchi3433]
