I remember watching this with my dad as a kid...my dad laughed so hard he had tears in his eyes!!! 😅Thanks for the memories, Richard. RIP sweet man. 💜💜
Richard and David could of had their own show together. They were a hilarious team. I could watch them two together all day. They really were good friends in real life and Richard was close to David's mom.
I think even Richard Simmons is not make any appearance anymore, he should keep making his innovations and sell it on the market for new generations to be able to use them such as his workout videos (make it into dvd), Deal-A-Meal, FoodMover (I think it is still available on Amazon and ebay). I never had a chance to buy his steamer years ago and now the price is so high... oh well.
From what I hear, he was one of the most genuine, outgoing, and truly LOVED his fans and was one of the most entertaining guests in history of TV talk and radio (Prime Howard Stern).....He will be missed!
“It’s not a go-go cart” is still one of my favorite, utterly ridiculous one-liners. If it were on a tee shirt, I’d absolutely wear it. I have to come back and watch this now and then for a good laugh.
Letterman was terrible in his final years. For most of his career he was hysterically funny and clever and unique. But in the end, he had turned into someone angry and bitter and painfully unfunny. It was very sad to watch. I completely agree about Craig Ferguson, though. That was the end of the fun.
You can feel the apprehension from Richard since his last appearance, the last time before this he was on in 2000 David was spraying a fire extinguisher at Richard which caused him to have an Asthma Attack backstage, Richard took it as assault and didn’t return until THIS moment, what a contrast in behaviour!! I’m glad they were able to (kind of) make amends 🤷🏻♀️ (BTW I learned all of this today LOL I went down the UA-cam suggestion rabbit hole and this is my final stop, the first stop was a Richard Simmons blooper reel now here I am knee-deep in 22 year old tea LOOOOL🤣👏🏼 god I love UA-cam!)
all jokes and sarcasm aside .. Richard loves David .. he wouldnt come back all those years to his show if he didnt love him .. he knows that david pokes fun at him for the ratings sake and he helps him out .. i think they are very good friends .. Those two have made some really funny shows together .. respects to them both
David: A Go-go kart, a GO-GO kart, I just never heard that expression. Go-go kart . . . Richard: ................ anyway here's my steamer!!! God, we need Richard to come back, I doubt he ever will come back.
Richard, through his promotion of healthy living, saved literally millions of people from obesity, depression and suicide. What a wonderful person he was! An outstanding entertainer. RIP.
I always felt sorry for Richard Simmons I always felt like nobody took him seriously but he seems like such a genuine good hearted person I also never knew he had a steamer it actually looked decent hope he's well
Everything I've heard about him makes him seem like a very genuine person, but he definitely is eccentric with a capital "e", and he definitely plays into it.
One of the more hilarious moments ever on the show, but you can clearly see Richard reaching for the wire right as the smoke starts. And then he hits the ignition switch, although I'm sure he didn't expect the flame to be that close to his face.
actually he was not in on it. he was holding the steamer from falling off the table because daves mic was in the way. He was confused on why they attached a tray to it.. then when it started smoking he made the comment when he realized why they put the tray with it. It was one of daves pranks. he always messed with richard. Davew got really mad at richard once when he jumped in daves arms because dave had just had a surgery and it irritated it
@@anothermonday5664 Richard didn't reach for the wire. Richard rested his hand on the arm rest of the chair and his hand brushed against the wire and it moved. That's all that happened. This was a total set up by Letterman. Richard had no clue that was going to happen.
you can see the fire mechanism at the 00:13 second mark. Then theres an awkward cut at the 16 second mark. They probably paused for a second to explain the bit to him
2:02 Richard grabs the cord. There is a switch on it so that Richard can activate the spark when he's ready. We need to stop automatically believing everything we hear and see on television.
Who cares if he pulled the chord?? It's JUST pure entertainment!! Get over yourself. It's like magic shows on TV. People know it's not real but they are entertained. "We need to stop automatically believing everything we hear and see on television." 🤣😂 Don't be a douche bag!
Took me a long time to get that reference. At first I was like "Michael JACKSON?!" Then I read about how he was taping a Pepsi commercial and accidentally got his hair set on fire.
Dave tampered with Richard's newly introduced cooker 🤣😆😁I don't think Richard Simmons was expecting this. Although Richard has sharp comedic timing, I doubt he was in on it. When he saw the steam, he thought "oh here you go again David, making fun at my products, you can make fun of me David but don't make fun of my products cuz they're important to the many overweight people that they help". And he said as much to David on another show. But this is SO funny when you've seen previous episodes and aware that David just LOVES stirring up and exacerbating the soft and sensitive and hilarious drama queen in Richard Simmons
Anyone know what episode when There was a classic moment when a very fey-acting Simmons is watching Letterman take a puff on his cigar, and asks, "Dave, can you teach me how to smoke a cigar?" Letterman crooks his head a little bit with the response you know is coming, "Oh Richard, I think you already know how to smoke a cigar..." Of course, Simmons reacts in drop-jaw shock
I was watching a Howard Stern birthday special a few weeks ago, and Richard Simmons went as "Dick Simmons". Richard Simmons has done some really funny appearances in the past (particularly on Letterman), but Dick Simmons has to rank up there. He was killing it just monotoning lines.
They had to play it up since the crowd loves it. Dave near the end of the run really disliked Richard and would not have him back. I don't think it was justified.
Hilarious, but at the same time I can't help wondering if it wasn't practiced first for safety reasons...I mean, why did Richard turn his head and look away just before the 'explosion?"
RIP you magnificent bastard. Best legs in Late Night.
"yeah it costs less than your tie, david"
RIP Richard Simmons (1948-2024)
Richard was such a good sport
Comedy would literally be nothing if it weren't for the Good Sports. He.was.The.Best.
I remember watching this with my dad as a kid...my dad laughed so hard he had tears in his eyes!!! 😅Thanks for the memories, Richard. RIP sweet man. 💜💜
RIP 🪦 Richard Simons 😢😢😢
Richard and David could of had their own show together. They were a hilarious team. I could watch them two together all day. They really were good friends in real life and Richard was close to David's mom.
RIP TO A LEGEND
We need more Richard Simmons in this world. The crowd went wild whenever he was on Dave's show and for good reason.
Amen ❤
Nice
I always thought Richard Simmons wore headband
@@brendamitchellinspiredjour7609
Me, you, and millions of others!!
we need NO richard simmons in the world. he's a disgusting, perverted nobody.
Crazy thing is you can actually still buy this steamer and it now costs 150 dollars..which is still less than Dave's tie.
had to look it up n probably t one u saw was $150 cuz t one im lookin at on my screen right now is $489
forty five dollars on amazon

@@bbw420latinajayvlogs9 Is that a Temu special edition, where you can shock like a billionaire?
Richard, although very eccentric, is one of the nicest people you'd meet in Hollyweird. A genuinely nice person.
From what I hear, he was one of the most genuine, outgoing, and truly LOVED his fans and was one of the most entertaining guests in history of TV talk and radio (Prime Howard Stern).....He will be missed!
Brilliant on so many levels. Hey Dave, thanks for still being around. :)
Rest in peace, Richard Simmons......
RICHARDS SIMMONS SO FUNNY EVERY TIME HE WAS ON DAVID LETTERMAN SHOW !!!!!!!!!!
I had to watch this again after hearing of his passing. This is the way I remember him...
"It costs like 55 dollars" "holy crap..."
RIP Richard
Mr Simmons was never less than delightful, his interactions with Letterman were the stuff of entertainment legend! Rest In Peace
“It’s not a go-go cart” is still one of my favorite, utterly ridiculous one-liners. If it were on a tee shirt, I’d absolutely wear it. I have to come back and watch this now and then for a good laugh.
I take it you have a tiny brain?
After I heard he had passed, I had to watch this clip again. This is my favorite moment of his.
Richard Simmons is Awesome what a Guy
Did you mean what a gay?
@@malcolmburns6104 I'm sorry, you a what now? Your declaring yourself? What n honor dude
You misspelled gay.
@@ronalditami9791 stop being cheeky
I always loved Richard and Dave together. They had great comedic chemistry. Richard could always take a joke and make fun of himself.
So classic these bits with Richard. I will forever remember this and it always makes me chuckle heartily! 🤣🤣🤣
I wish Richard Simmons would come back to TV.
In my opinion late night died completely when letterman went off the air.
End of an era for sure.
For me, it was when Craig Ferguson left. Conan is still around, so all is not lost yet.
Letterman was terrible in his final years. For most of his career he was hysterically funny and clever and unique. But in the end, he had turned into someone angry and bitter and painfully unfunny. It was very sad to watch.
I completely agree about Craig Ferguson, though. That was the end of the fun.
You spelled “Conan” wrong.
You're absolutely right.
Richard loved aggravating Letterman😆

Who’s here after Richard died? I loved the guy. He was always a laugh. My mother adored him.
all jokes and sarcasm aside .. Richard loves David .. he wouldnt come back all those years to his show if he didnt love him .. he knows that david pokes fun at him for the ratings sake and he helps him out .. i think they are very good friends ..

That's all true.
David: A Go-go kart, a GO-GO kart, I just never heard that expression. Go-go kart . . .
Richard: ................ anyway here's my steamer!!!
God, we need Richard to come back, I doubt he ever will come back.
Would be rather difficult for him to come back now, unless he was having a jebus moment.
Richard was always a good sport. Hope he's happy out of the celebrity spotlight.
RIP Richard Simmons
Richard, through his promotion of healthy living, saved literally millions of people from obesity, depression and suicide. What a wonderful person he was! An outstanding entertainer. RIP.
Dudes a trip, love him!
imagine him if he got drafted to vietnam and bombs going off around him
"AAHHH! OH MY GOD!!!"
thanks for making me laugh until I couldn't breathe lol.
@@stevarino1989 😁💥
oh thanks for making me spit out of my coffee :D
😁😂🤣
Only Letterman could prank Simmons like this 😂😂😂
Nothing better that Dave shitting on a product he was supposed to help promote
Hey Mow Ron this is a fake product Richard is in on the joke.
You totally have 14 boosters don't you.
LOVE Richard Simmons
Relax In Paradise Richard Simmons 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Always my favorite guest of Daves.

Richard Simmons, what a gem.
Richard Simmons was one of the best guests on Letterman.
The smoke and fire came directly out of that tray that he wasn't aware of...
It was a staged and set up, they planned it, douche.
One of the more hilarious moments ever on the show, but you can clearly see Richard reaching for the wire right as the smoke starts. And then he hits the ignition switch, although I'm sure he didn't expect the flame to be that close to his face.

At 1:59 you can clearly see him reach for the wire. And both Letterman and Leno have admitted a lot of the stuff they did was set up with him.
@@anothermonday5664 Richard didn't reach for the wire. Richard rested his hand on the arm rest of the chair and his hand brushed against the wire and it moved. That's all that happened. This was a total set up by Letterman. Richard had no clue that was going to happen.
Richard Simmons is one of the greatest comedians of all time.
This gets me everytime ❤
Richard we will miss you ❤
I like when Richard says computerize
They are so funny, I can't stop laughing.
I love Richard Simmons I think hes great and awesome I love is compassionate for overweight people help them lose weight his wonderful
Everyone thought that was real and it destroyed the sales of the product. Thanks Dave :/
I couldn't stop laughing😂
I have this steamer. Its awesome!
Did you pay 55 bucks?
he is amazing, i hope all is well with him; love connie
May he RIP I enjoyed letterman a lot their dynamic was great
you can see the fire mechanism at the 00:13 second mark. Then theres an awkward cut at the 16 second mark. They probably paused for a second to explain the bit to him
Wrong.
dude david shut up and let him finish a sentance he loves hearing his voice and wants to be in control at all times
RIP Richard Simmons.

Makes perfect sense. Richard was probably in on the joke to make it start smoking, but he probably didn’t expect it to spark like that
Its possible he knew about the smoke but not that it would ignite a flame.
I felt like Michael Jackson!
Actually, that's a pretty accurate statement. Even if Richard was in on this, he was way too close for comfort to that fire.
Took me a long time to get that reference. At first I was like "Michael JACKSON?!" Then I read about how he was taping a Pepsi commercial and accidentally got his hair set on fire.
I liked him!!!!❤
Careful! He was almost flaming.
holy crap that was hilarious.
Siri, Spooky resident evil four give me answer
Letterman was a savage.
Where can I get that steamer on a serious note?
David Letterman = Big brother, Richard Simmons = Little brother.
rip :(
I've always liked him.
Tell me this was scripted and rehearsed, it's too good to be spontaneous.
I would love to have seen the two of them take on The Odd Couple.
This was hilarious.
holy carps did they play Tutti-Frutti when Simmons took off out of his seat
Lendário apresentadores
Awesome
dave always funny

Someone have the while segment. Love rickie
On 🔥🚒
What a perfect foil for Dave lol
where is the full version please
Does anyone have this full segment? I'm running out of vintage Letterman clips to watch and I'm jonesing for more.

Funny as hell! Ha!
The band breaks into "Tutti Fruiti" hahaha!

Looks like an edited version of the tray.
Pauly Shore!!!
omg that looked pretty dangerous
No flame every burned brighter....
I was watching a Howard Stern birthday special a few weeks ago, and Richard Simmons went as "Dick Simmons". Richard Simmons has done some really funny appearances in the past (particularly on Letterman), but Dick Simmons has to rank up there. He was killing it just monotoning lines.
Richard Simmons is an angel.......and naturally hilarious.....I could do without Dave's covert homophobia though.
They had to play it up since the crowd loves it. Dave near the end of the run really disliked Richard and would not have him back. I don't think it was justified.
@@jaimhaas5170 David is dumb...he also didn't have Sandra Bernhard back who was comedy gold with him.
Was the steamer made in Cleveland?
All jokes aside that thing on fire was hanging halfway off the desk and they're lucky it didn't fall off and catch anything else on fire lol
Letterman was the best
Epic burn #its less than that tie david
Dave didn't get Richard's point about Dave's tie.
David wasnt fond of him i guess
Anyway, here’s my steamer
Hilarious, but at the same time I can't help wondering if it wasn't practiced first for safety reasons...I mean, why did Richard turn his head and look away just before the 'explosion?"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Toxic Fumes!!! 😂
