Richard Simmons ('s Food Steamer) is Flaming
The sweet absurdity that is Richard Simmons hit a new peak during his November 29th appearance on David Letterman. First, the food steamer he's hocking falls apart. Then, he and Letterman have a tiff over how much a person should expect to spend. Simmons is not amused.
Just when you can't take any more of Richard's offended harrumphing -- and Letterman was being pretty mean, especially since Richard went to all the trouble of Bedazzling "David" in Swarovski crystals across his tank top -- the food steamer follows the example set by its creator, and bursts into flames.
Whether it's an accident or a deliberate prank by Letterman (given the lack of fire extinguishers, the most likely option), watching Simmons scramble out of his seat to the safety of the bandstand is sweet, sweet justice for all those housewives who cringe at the memory of sweating to "Locomotion."
