Are David Letterman And Richard Simmons Friends?
Simmons was a regular on the Late Show with David Letterman. Apparently Letterman was “very standoffish” to the fitness guru. Their relationship got worse after Letterman sprayed Richard with a fire extinguisher, giving Simmons an extreme asthma attack.
No, Letterman is wonderfully crusty — and we wouldn’t have him any other way In celebration of Letterman’s final curtain call, here are five times it was pretty clear he could barely tolerate the person sitting in the chair next to him.
Milton Teagle Simmons was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on July 12, 1948, to Leonard Douglas Simmons Sr. and Shirley May (nĂ©e Satin). He was born to ” show business parents” and raised in the French Quarter of New Orleans. He has one older brother named Leonard Jr.
Later in his life, Simmons got a role on one of the biggest soap operas, General Hospital. He played himself over a four-year period in a recurring role. Richard also did a voice-over for Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Movie, and has appeared as a guest on Saturday Night Live and Whose Line Is It Anyway?
