ADDENDUM - RICHARD SIMMONS

We've got two interesting additions to the tally for Richard Simmons, who was a memorial tribute last year in the Television Crossover Hall of Fame.

First up is an interesting frame-grab from an appearance on Rosie O'Donnell's talk show.  (She was trying to guess his identity.)

Talk shows, except for certain situations ('The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson', 'The Merv Griffin Show', 'The View'), carry no weight towards the qualifications of an inductee.  But they can add flavor, as this photo illustrates.

And then we have a reference to Mr. Simmons, not an actual appearance.  I've come to accept that a reference to a person, even if they are not seen, is proof that a television of that person does exist in Toobworld.

Phoebe:
What the hell took you so long?
Monica:
Okay, you can NOT tell Chandler. Okay? That I ran into Richard.
Phoebe:
Which Richard?
Monica:
THE Richard.
Phoebe:
Richard Simmons?! Oh my God!
Monica:
Noo! My ex-boyfriend Richard! Y'know the tall guy, moustache?
Phoebe:
Oh! Okay, that actually makes more sense. So how was it?
Monica:
It was, it was really nice. We started talking and I-I ended up having lunch with him.
Phoebe:
That is so weird! I had a dream that you'd have lunch with Richard.
Monica:
Really? Phoebe: But again, Simmons. Go on.

Chandler:
Ohh that's the worst thing that can happen on an anniversary ever!
Phoebe: (Just joining them)
Oh good! All right, so you decided to tell him about the Richard thing.
Chandler:
What-what Richard thing?
Phoebe:
Oh no.
Chandler:
What Richard thing?
Phoebe: (To Monica under her breath)
Simmons! Go with Simmons!
