The Richard Simmons Show and other Lost Media

I’m trying to find as much lost Richard Simmons media as I can. Can anyone think of anything? Like episodes of his syndicated talk show from 1980-83? There’s so many episodes out there that are missing. One even has Betty White as a celebrity guest star. I’ve seen brief clips of that, but not a full episode. Also, he had Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch on, and this episode aired in March 1983. I feel like he also had Mister Rogers as a guest star but I can’t find any information to see if this was true or not. I am also still desperately searching for those lost extended bloopers that were once on YouTube under the username PrecipiceProductions. It had the full blooper tape of him getting increasingly frustrated with his mom Shirley. Whoever made the blooper compilation for Ebaumsworld in 2008 downloaded it.

Also, any Letterman/talk show appearances … I thankfully have the Turkey costume fire extinguisher incident from 2000 downloaded. But his 4th of July 1994 appearance is deleted.



I want to keep this thread alive!
