Thanks for that information, LKK! In the recap I wrote for the episode at my site when it first aired, I only commented about how surprised Greg was, since his reaction seemed the most animated. I hadn't really noticed the reactions of the others. I'll have to pop that tape in again real soon to see the reactions of Wayne, Colin & Ryan.

As for the episode, in my opinion, it is still the only special guest (part-time player) episode I enjoyed from start to finish. Richard was there to have fun...and he did!

The first time I had ever seen Richard was way back in the day, early 1980's I believe, when he made a guest appearance on the ABC soap opera, General Hospital. I tried some of his weight loss programs (Deal-a-Meal didn't come out until after I gave up on using his programs), to no avail. After all these years, he's still as hyperactive as he was back then.
