I'll give an oblique clue. The original question would also be accurate if I had asked "What called Richard Simmons a faggot on an episode of the game show Family Feud"?

It was Lester, the ventriloquist doll from the act Willie Tyler and Lester.

I saw the episode in question, so I assure you, this is no urban myth.

It was a Celebrity Family Feud episode. The question was: "Name a place where lovers meet to share a secret kiss". Richard Simmons slammed down the buzzer, and shrieked "The locker room! Oh, wait...". Willie Tyler and Lester were standing in front of Simmons in the team line, and Lester's head turned to face Simmons, and Lester mumbled "Stay away from me, ya damned faggot".
