Richard Simmons Getting Pranked By David Letterman

Upbeat News

Throughout Letterman’s 33-year career on television, he had almost every single personality on his show. Exercise guru Richard Simmons was invited to the show in 2006, and it was obvious that Letterman wasn’t amused by the incredibly strange fitness instructor. While Simons came on the show to promote his food steamer, Letterman decided to take it to a whole other level by pranking him. When Simmons turned on the machine, it began to smoke and burst into flames, making Simmons scream and leap out of his chair. Although Simmons was obviously distressed by the entire event, Letterman just laughed the whole thing off like a bully in grade school.
