The Mystery of Richard Simmons with Diane Sawyer
Years ago, Richard Simmons reached out directly to ABC News’ Diane Sawyer. After nearly a decade of silence, he wanted to share his story.
Then, in 2024, as preparations were being made for the interview, he died.
ABC News was then invited to his California home by Richard’s brother, who wanted to honor Richard’s wish for Sawyer to tell his life story.
"The Mystery of Richard Simmons: A Diane Sawyer Special" airs on Tuesday, May 12 at 9 p.m. ET on ABC and streams the next day on Disney+ and Hulu.
