The one hundred and thirty fourth episode of the third season of The Rosie O'Donnell Show. Featuring guests: Richard Simmons, Josh Charles, and Della Reese.
I love Richard. I'm sad he dropped out of the public eye completely in the past decade. I'm not sure what's going on with his mental health, but that's typical of someone very depressed or struggling with something deep.
He never really was actually that outgoing. He played up his fun side for the e cameras but he’s always been shy and sensitive. Some people just don’t want attention as the get older and move on. Hope he’s doing well as well.
12:37 New Yorkers still remember 25 years later. The four NYPD officers fired 41 shots at unarmed Amadou Diallo, hitting him 19 times. The officers were acquitted of all charges, but the Street Crime Unit was disbanded, police training policies were reviewed, & full metal jacket bullet were no longer used. Ironically, soft & hollow-point bullets cause more damage. The family eventually received a $3M settlement in 2004.
I could tell when she included the gag about feeling his hair. (Clearly a joke they came up with). Thank god though! It would have made that interaction more creepy than fun..
@@DaisyPusher No, he just knew they were out of time and had to give it away. I don't think the guest knew she knew in advance. She just wanted to know for her own purposes but it wasn't supposed to be something known to be fabricated.
@@johnsmi213 well Richard struggles with personal boundaries and this was inappropriate then. (Even though he’s not trying to be malicious and I still love all the good and empathy he’s had for the world).. but yeah.. tongues to yourselves 😅
I love Richard Simmons!! He was one of the most electrifying guests in show history!
Hard to believe that Richard Simmons is 75 years old.

The following Fall, he hosted a short-lived syndicated series called Dream Maker that was cancelled at mid-season
He's clearly not in a good place. It's so sad because he's such a fun person.

The couple from Texas at the start is adorable.

I like to pretend Mariah Carey wrote this comment.
I love me some Richard Simmons.

Richard Simmons and Rosie it can’t get any better than that.
Richard was her best guest

I want that Richard Simmons shirt so very badly. Guess I'll have to try making one.
The squirrel phobia is hysterical! The LI girl in Rosie has no love of animals, but so much for people grown and small!
Della was my favorite
Things are about to get MUCH CRAZIER IN 2019 TO 2023 and will go on for what seems like eternity.
Swear you don't know who it is when you admitted on TikTok you always knew ahead of time!
love DELLA REESE!
Correct if I’m wrong, but didn’t Rosie say in an interview once she always knew who the mystery guest was?
I believe she mentioned it in one of her books “find me” (which is fascinating) or “celebrity detox “
Yes. She did an interview I watched on UA-cam where she said "Oh, I have to reveal, I always knew who the mystery guest was."
Richard is a national treasure. I miss seeing him and his incredible energy and positivity he radiates.
Richard was the best guest!
And now Rosie feeds squirrels from her hand, in her backyard. Things do change don’t they?!
The way she says “squirrel”…😂
What an amazing surprise guest. He is do fantastic and inspirational, the world could use him more now than ever.
“Meatloaf kissed me on the lips and it frightened me for 3 years” 😂 poor Rosie
Thank you for having and expressing your informed opinions on what mattered. Love.
I like Rosie O'Donnell show it so funny. I like Della and I love watching Touch with a angel.
I love Rosie but she has admitted on other shows that she always knew ahead of time who the mystery guests were.
Yes but I don't think she knew about the kissing.
Didn’t know that

Richard Simmons's butch voice is great.
Love Della Reese (rip). Her voice is so relaxing and engrossing. I grew up watching Touched by an Angel on Sundays during visits with my grandma.

Richard and Della❤❤❤❤❤ Diamonds among the Roughest
Love this
I'm sure Rosie was sick of people coming on to tell her how to change herself.
Omg the memories
Richard Simmons is really really gay
He has a wife and three kids.
@@johnsmi213it doesn’t say anything on wiki about a wife and kids
Della put that show over the top. Lovely lady.
Who else misses Richard Simmons?!!
Isn’t Richard now female? That’s what I heard. No one has seen him for years. Mysterious yet intriguing.
LOL, no. Good grief.
