Richard Simmons was perfectly cast as Sherman Klump in the classic movie The Nutty Professor. His vivacious demeanor had been well-known for years, and he is the epitome of a can-do attitude. His depiction of Klump earned him public attention and his workout video, Sweating To The Oldies, became highly popular.

In addition, he made frequent appearances on late night shows like The Late Show with David Letterman and The Howard Stern Show. Although Simmons has not been on television for a while, he has published several YouTube fitness videos in the year 2020. His motivation behind this was to inspire people to stay in shape during the pandemic.
