Well the important thing is he's apparently fine.

And why shouldn't he be able to enjoy a little privacy?

Isnt that what everyone wants?

He's been very open about his obesity and bouts with depression and mental illness...for decades.

I am fascinated by this. I just can't wait to see what happens. My mom did his videos when I was a kid - I didn't know the word then, but found him to be manic.

I love him too. I hope he can pull himself out of his depression.

Get well Richard!

I hope he's OK. I only know him from TV but I just adore him. He seems so kind, genuine and caring for all those he's helped to live healthier lives. And if you've seen him on shows like Who's Line... he is freaking hilarious.
