Fitness guru and TV personality Richard Simmons passed away on Saturday, one day after his 76th birthday.
While authorities say it was natural causes there are reports that Simmons suffered a fall in his bathroom on Friday but no word yet if that had anything to do with it.
In 2004, Memorial Health brought Simmons to Savannah for a variety of engagements and events, one of which was a fun exercise clinic in the lobby of (what was then) The DeSoto Hilton. I remember this since I was invited and it was a blast. He was his typical upbeat, excited, and fun self and everyone had a great time. (He then posed for a picture which to this day is still on my office door.)
Richard thank you for the joy you brought us. Below is a classic moment from his appearance on "Whose Line Is It Anyway," which cast member Colin Mochrie says is still the funniest 6 minutes of television you may ever see.\
(watch Drew Carey's reaction!).
