Minstrel Of The Week: Richard Simmons

His stint on Kimmel marks the latest in a new trend of late-night, low-brow, slightly homophobic
gay humor on TV. Maybe after the shock value of male nudity and
affection wears off and this all grows stale, gays will be embraced as
the uninteresting demographic that they usually, actually are. Thank you
Richard Simmons, for making strides toward gay equality (even if you
technically are still in the closet).

Below, the video from Jimmy Kimmel Live followed by Richard’s Bridestone Tire Commercial.
