He was a silly faggot, but if you grew up in the 80s he was our silly faggot.
No hate for the man. RIP

He was one of those flaming gay personalities like they had in the 70s. Like Rip Taylor or Paul Lynde or Charles Nelson Reilly. Fruitier than a case of oranges but hilarious and very friendly. Nobody gave a shit Richard was gay, you knew he was gay. He knew he was gay. He didn't have to force anyone to acknowledge that he was gay. He just was and you could enjoy him and you could see he was sincere when he tried to help those fatties lose weight.
I don't know if he actually succeeded in helping anyone with those stupid deal a meal cards or those low impact exercise VHS tapes, but at least his heart was in the right place even if that was just his grift to make a few bucks.

The thing about those gays you mentioned (and a few others, Freddie Mercury for example)
Being gay wasn't their whole identity, they never tried to force you to accept them or to approve of them. They were not "in your face" with their militant gayness.
They were just people doing their thing that happened to be gay.

i think there was a race between him and Dick Cavett to have the most failed TV shows named after them.

I was just going to post about this. I remember listening to Bob Newhart on the radio with my Dad back in the 60s. The one-sided telephone conversations were hysterical.

94 is a very good run. He was still actively doing small parts as recently as a few years ago.
