Is the Whose Line (US) skit with Richard Simmons the funniest TV moment ever?

I'm always apprehensive to call something the "funniest," but even with that in mind, I can immediately count the Richard Simmons episode of Whose Line as being in the Top 5 for me. I mean, hell, the episode was probably already there just when Richard Simmons showed up. The entire episode was filled with references to the guy in every game: several games required the cast to do Richard Simmons impressions, and the Newscasters clip used Sweatin' to the Oldies. I realized something was up, so when Drew announced Richard Simmons was going to be in the next game, I just lost it right on the spot.

Man, I keep forgetting Whose Line's back on the air. I need to catch it sometime.

Unquestionably, OP.

Man, rewatching it now...and the studio audience are going absolutely BALLISTIC, haha. Never seen an audience act like that since.
 
Who's Line probably has like 3 of the top 5 funniest moments. How's the new version?

Good. Greatest Hits isn't as good as it used to be, Ryan has really aged and comes off as a dirty grandpa, Aisha is much more comfortable now, and she gels with the cast better, but I'll always miss Drew... Clearly, the cast always ribbed on Drew, but I feel like Colin and Ryan don't rib on Aisha. Wayne and Aisha have some good banter.

They play the stupid Hand game way too much, and they have too many guest stars. Scenes from a Hat is always the best, and is still very funny

If I recall correctly, Colin Mochrie once said in an interview that about ten minutes of that skit had to be cut because the audience was laughing so hard that you couldn't hear the actors. I believe he also stated that this encounter won't go away no matter how much alcohol he consumes. I think Drew Carey said something similar as well.

I'll just add this to the pile, my favorite moment from one of my favorite games, If You Know What I Mean.

This was always my favourite skit of the US version.

With Drew learning geography second.

That Richard Simmons one is great though, if a little heavy on implied gay jokes.

What a classic. I had forgotten about it, but instantly remembered the whole skit the minute I saw the first few seconds of it. So good.

I clicked that link with the active intention of not enjoying it in order to prove the OP wrong, but I'll be god damned if my face doesn't hurt from laughing.
