Neil Cavuto Interviews Richard Simmons

Originally Aired November 27, 2013

[@rprevolution1]

We need more Richard Simmons in this world.

[@ShindlersFiist]

Absolutely! We genuinely need to rally around Richard Simmons and remind him of the hope, resilience, and empathy he's bestowed upon us and countless individuals over the years. It's truly heartbreaking to witness how the media's relentless negativity has pushed him into seclusion. Richard has been a beacon of joy, yet we've allowed him to be cast aside and forgotten. It's time to show him the love and support he so rightfully deserves. ❤❤❤

[@user-sg6sv9oi6i]

❤️❤️❤️

[@sk8erade694]

I agree

[@tommyriam8320]

No we don't.

[@polishmasterjay]

The world is a WORSE place without Richard Simmons 😢

[@johndalton3180]

Yup. I hate the thought of a world without Richard. A purely kind human.

[@SoJustCool]

i've been pissed ever since.

[@michaelreardon3958]

You are right

[@scott7521]

Richard is an empath. Great person. He cares more than any other person I've ever seen. No wonder he's retreated from society; it's too much for him to handle.

[@craftlover9702]

Totally agree! He's also hysterical and quick witted! To have gone through what he has in his life yet still gives back with a pure heart shows what a very strong person he truly is!!

[@patriottroll1764]

He's such a wonderful man. Bless his heart ❤️

[@OnlyInLasVegas]

Richards talent for comedy is underrated. He was so extremely funny, talented and caring.

[@miata350]

Richard literally laughs, cries and sings in every interview.

[@ticsflixknivesnsticks9458]

He's so fearless and is who he is, and he's perfect.

[@Treekneeeet]

It takes strength to be like Richard. He is forgiving, graceful, positive, encouraging, and he could be himself. And people hate that because many are bitter and unable to take all his good energy, they are fake. He is genuine and people make fun of him. He wants to make people happy and people make fun of him. It’s a crazy weird world we live in if that type of behavior is not acceptable or made fun of. I love Richard. He is a good person and deserves all the best.

[@bs5064]

Richard was always such a ball of emotion. But he used it for good things, and his mission in life was to help people. RIP.

[@ticsflixknivesnsticks9458]

Richard Simmons is one of the Greatest human beings ever to exist. So caring, and yet so crazy and fun. I wish him all the peace and happiness in the world.

[@lanaofficiel4042]

Rest in Peace Richard Simmons. He helped so many people. ❤❤❤.

[@pynkannihilator]

He's such a kind soul.

[@stephenkyburz6529]

Richard Simmons is up there with Mr. Rogers and Bob Ross. Making this world a little bit better.

[@Pippa-pw3qw]

Richard Simmons isn't dead ❤️

[@moccalou]

Bob Ross wasn't exactly squeaky clean, but Mr. Rogers for sure.

[@imamessbutitsfine2377]

​@@moccalouhe wasn't? 😢 i've never heard about that before, what did he do?

[@moccalou]

@@imamessbutitsfine2377 Check out the documentary Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal and Greed, to come to your own conclusions. But basically he pushed his son to succeed his legacy as an artist so much that it led to resentment for a while, made worse by the fact that Bob Ross cheated on his wife (the son's mother) with a lady that ended up being greedy and taking ownership of the rights to sell products under his name. One of his son's last memories of his mom dying from a terminal illness was her sobbing that Bob didn't love her.

[@moccalou]

@@imamessbutitsfine2377 You might want to check out Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed to come to your own conclusion, but basically he cheated on his wife with a lady who ended up being greedy and fought hard to retain the rights to sell products with his name and likeness through Bob Ross Inc. Bob Ross drove a wedge into his relationship with his son by pushing him too hard to succeed his legacy as an artist, made worse by the fact that one of his son's last memories with his mom who was dying of a terminal illness is her sobbing that Bob didn't love her.

[@jshepard152]

What a lovely man. God bless him.

[@peterstoate2153]

Rest In Peace Richard Simmons

[@user-pp1on4fk7d]

He says he loves to make people laugh whether it's with him or at him. THAT'S REALLY DEEP!

[@Kk-dv7ug]

I love Richard Simmons

[@user-sg6sv9oi6i]

❤️❤️❤️

[@sonyaarsenault5938]

Rewatching a lot of different vids with Richard today....the world is a darker place now....R.I.P. ❤😢

[@livewithnick]

One of the funniest,kindest most wonderful people EVER!

[@RayAtkins-wk9zv]

My mother was a large lady with a big heart that had self steam issues she would wach his show and for an hour she would feel better about her shelf I am 50 years old I was 7 or 8 years old when this happened this man has been trying to reach people for over 30 years God bless him and the work he does

[@TravyJsSpace]

Wow, now that it’s coming out that Richard might be in hiding due to “insecurities” I could certainly see why!! Nobody really took the man seriously in the 2000’s when his work started taking him to congress, it’s refreshing to see him take his power back in some subtle, some blunt ways, either way he delivers it smoother than butter and with such comedic grace❤️❤️❤️ I pray he comes back better than ever !!!!

[@mme4211]

this is so beautiful. What an amazing human. Thank you Richard.

[@sarahlynn7894]

This makes me laugh and cry now. RIP Richard Simmons. ✝️

[@Alaniebee]

Richard was so over the top in a good way with the Phantom of the Opera bit-RIP Richard

[@mensax8054]

Haha the guy off camera couldn’t stop laughing

[@Alaninbroomfield]

This is gold. Pure gold. lol!!!!

[@oceanegele3559]

His humor reminds me of Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka; sweet and childlike and then wildly erratic. 😂 It’s great to see him.

[@leocasamento5742]

R.I.P kind Richard. Keep making them laugh with our Heavenly Father.

[@bekit7131]

I totally agree with Rich Simmons. I was a very active child. I don’t know about 2022, but in the 80s I walked to & from school. We played 30min of recess. We also had 30min of PE. I also played 2 hours before & after homework. I really believe in physical activity especially for children.

[@jzen1455]

It's illegal for kids to walk to school without adult supervision. In the 80s, I started walking to school with other kindergarteners. It was common in my hood.

[@frozenwarning]

Same here. I’ve never been fat in my life. We had PE at school EVERY day and Then, when I got home, I played outside with all my friends, Then I went inside and played video games before bed!

[@ipaintstuff4884]

This video taught me how to take control of an interview and make hiring managers shiver.

[@yomoseo]

Hilarious

[@ipaintstuff4884]

[@criticalcatalyst]

I miss you Richard...I will never ever forget you...

[@suzyq6767]

Nice, kind, and accepting...I love this and this sweet man. Filling days with love and kindness has been my go-to for many years. Contention, hate, worry, and anxiety got me nowhere except unhappy. "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear." Martin Luther King, Jr.

Watching this after learning he died today. Very tragic. Praying for him.

Thank you Richard.

I hatedexercising.i wasnt overweight..but i loved exercising with richard..he made it fun

[@user-eo4tb1dy7w]

Simmons was an outrageous, wonderful man

[@Juliet_Capulet]

Oh, this sweet man.

[@First-q6l]

I don't know too much about him... my mom watched him in the 80s. I will say his speech to congress was quite powerful and on point. Too bad they didn't listen.

[@rhiannon-bv9rk]

I agree. PE should be mandatory in schools. I had it growing up. My daughters would not take it

[@patrickneff7846]

I watch this every Thanksgiving.

[@Jigwally]

"I got thousands of tweets and facebooks" lol

RIP 🙏🏻

[@mikeledger2614]

Holy god Richard is quick, wow what a talent

[@juliekibbe9221]

Sweet wonderful Richard. I like you have had eating disorders on my life. It is a prison only we can understand. I so admire you for your selflessness and kindness to all people. I love you very much although I don’t know you personally wish you the best always.❤

[@Houseofbattifora]

this interview is AMAZING!! and @cavuto holds his own

[@JamesMMcCann]

It's easy to make fun of him, but he helped a Hell of a lot of people in his life. That's a life worth living, and remembering.

[@fanwoods37washingtonheight71]

Wonderful man. I think he's in hiding because of all the horrendous ugliness in this world. He cares about people's health

[@Thunderchild-gz4gc]

It's weird seeing him without his trademark attire.

[@sharksport01]

Still got that perm though!

[@EphemeralProductions]

love Richard! so cute and funny!

[@cujosdogbowl]

Paulie Shore is perfect to play Richard. This is proof.

[@moccalou]

You've got to wonder if he just woke up one day in 2014 and decided he was done with public life, or if he was planning it for a while and didn't have the heart to tell people ahead of time.

[@fredbozo8488]

This guy makes Liberace look like John Wayne.

[@douglascrabtree8889]

Pauly Shore should make that biopic no matter what Rich says. Media art has no friends. it would be an awesome tribute to Richard Simmons weather he is happy about it or not

[@vtuberuriguri2547]

I just think he isn't in the right state of mind and/or he thinks it will just make fun of her. I still worry a bit that something bad is going on behind the scenes with him (but I'll take my tin foil hat off)

[@amethystAnge7]

Love you, Richard

[@LongJumpingSurprise]

I would so watch an hour of Richard Simmons hosting a talk show. I think he had one back in the 80’s

[@jjrmorenojm]

RIP.

[@vendorslab9242]

Richard straight up pours his heart out like at 3:12 Then does some straight up weird stuff like at 5:19 LMAO

[@jzen1455]

Richard Simmons reminds me of a straight acting Pauly Shore.

I would love to see Richard Simmons here in so florida

[@sonparabailar]

07:49 That's like the weasel sound Pauly Shore makes in Encino Man

[@Chanelson2010]

He had a lot of sadness that’s why he’s always joking

[@coffmanlove2020]

Rip

[@dmancapps]

There is no extra money needed for physical education. Is why they want to allocate time for things that suck money up.

[@bojoblue]

Richard is awesome! I do hope he seeks some kind of treatment for his Bipolar disorder though.

[@KillSwitchNY]

There's no reason anyone can be this funny and insane 😂. God i love him. No wonder Howard Stern was traumatized by him 😂😂

[@lucky1u]

Funny guy. I've never seen a crowd go crazy on Who's Line Is It Anyway like when he shows up.

[@dallastrujillo7540]

Wonder if they've ever analyzed Richard in college psych classes..? I only took a few but never got into behavioral or mood stuff.

[@daveb4194]

He's gotta be Pauly Shores father! They look alike and act the same way. He could easily pass for his Father,if he's not. Lol

[@ezrasky3761]

Interviews like this make FOXNEWS almost watchable.

[@reant]

Get over yourself, FOXNEWS has always been watchable.

[@theblakex]

How does it make you feel that Richard Simmons picked Fox over CNN?

[@KevyNova]

@@theblakexwhat are you smoking? Richard has done interviews on CNN and just about every other network. You think just because he did an interview on fox that he doesn’t go on other networks?

[@kristencarlbon4561]

I love when Richard would go on Fox News. you know these people are so uncomfortable with him or with kindness and empathy this channel definitely doesn’t have it. You can tell. He’s getting uncomfortable right now.

[@joesbeard]

I cant believe he was on Fox News.

[@CarloisBuriedAlive]

Many times. People avoiding networks due to politics was not the norm back then

[@KevyNova]

He’s been on every network. I think he enjoyed going on Fox because he knew how to make them sweat!

[@ggsilik]

​@@KevyNova I may be going against Richard's message here, but judging from the guy behind the desk's waistline, sweating is something he doesn't do on the regular 😮
