The Greenwashing Guy 🌏 :

The irony being Wayne Brady was actually the queer man on that set, though he wouldn’t divulge that until years later.

greenween :

my wife and I were there. my stomach hurt so bad. they couldn't air a lot of it.

ms.always.right7 :

mind you, Colin Mochrie has a trans daughter that he's very publicly and staunchly supportive of, which makes everything about this a million times better

libs_are_cancer :

Ok, but smoking the cigarette after that “jet ski” ride was comedy genius.

DB :

Everyone knew Richard was gay and no one cared.

Tré :

Richard Simmons has always been the very definition of "commit to the bit."

HandyHal :

Between Richard Simmons and Robin Williams it's hard to tell which episode was funnier.

MDeSmet :

I miss Richard Simmons. He was such a kind, caring, and upbeat person. What a beautiful soul. It’s so sad he withdrew from the world before he passed away.

James Bradford :

I love how Colin was hesitant at first, but by the end just decided: "Screw it. If we're doing this, we're going all in." The miming of the cigarette at the end was just icing in the cake.

DogtorWolf :

My mom and I were watching this episode in a hotel on my college visit tour and got multiple complaints because we were laughing so loud

erikandersoneric :

"This one wants more coins." 🤣🤣

mixolosopher :

Colin may have faltered at the start but he single-handedly set up some of the best bits of this - from ‘this one wants more coins’, to “you get the shiny one” with the deck chairs to him deciding to turn Simmons over so he’s facing him as a jet ski, to miming lighting up afterwards, to taking the ‘coconuts’, to one bit a lot missed of him putting a ‘flag’ in the raft right were Simmons butt was! Colin Mochrie made this the iconic skit it is.

cuteusername :

Wayne going completely limp during the jet ski part because he’s laughing so hard 😂

macbelfast :

he just went with it and yes'd everything. perfect guest.

DCA :

I remember reading it was because of Simmons they had their only pause break in the entire series history because everyone was unable to stop laughing

Lexi :

this was a CLASSIC in my household

Koba :

I remember this. It was the early 2000s I lived up in the mountains with my parents and we only got two channels one of which was ABC. I really like to line and made sure to watch it every night it came out. I remember this episode it was and is still absolutely hilarious.

Hammy :

Greg looked like he was gonna pee himself.

Island Girl 🏝️ :

People like Letterman was so mean to him, the world wasn’t ready for him 🫶 I was sad to hear of his declined before his passing

ShopwithBethiebee 💙 :

My dads been gone almost 15 year and I can still hear his barking laughter watching this episode 🤣

Natalia Taylor :

TheLudensAtlas :

Cut to 20+ years later and Wayne is beautifully pansexual. Bless his heart.

lobachevscki :

this episode should be in the congressional library

BuzzerBob :

Probably the best moment in all of television comedy.

mixolosopher :

Greg Proops summed it all up as he wiped the tears of utter joy from his face at the end of the ‘living scenery’ game: “I’m just so happy!”
