Disappeared in 2014...

Still alive and doing well thank goodness. I remember watching him in passing as a kid when flipping channels. Ah memories.

He retired. He's been around and graciously made his exercise videos available for free on his youtube channel when covid started and people were afraid to go to the gym. He also made a public comment a few years ago when people wanted reassurance that he was fine. He wants his privacy.

Meanwhile, has-been Suzanne Somers has nothing better to do than exploit the situation by creating a false crisis.

His later career has been a lot less dreary than that of many Hollywood vets

I always enjoyed watching him on TV. He was never someone I worked out to. But he had a joyous, infectious personality that got lots of people out there and moving.

I wish him the best in his waning years.
