The KISS singer and bassist crashed the weather report on Thursday, March 13 on FOX Weather Los Angeles. Wearing black leather pants, a denim button-down shirt, a black baseball cap and sunglasses, Simmons, 75, joined meteorologist Adam Krueger for a special broadcast. At the start of their weather report, Simmons cheekily told Krueger, "You look much better in real life than you do on TV." Krueger told the "Strutter" singer, "Oh, you look great in both," to which Simmons replied, "I know that." Gene Simmons in March 2025.

Krueger pointed out that there's been a lot of rain driving L.A. residents crazy, slipping in a KISS lyric. "You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy," he said, referring to their song "Rock and Roll All Nite." "I wrote that," Simmons realized. "I like that." Krueger is known for slipping song lyrics and quotes into his meteorology reports. In January 2024, the reporter weaved "Get Low" by Lil Jon into his broadcast one day.

Before the news segment ended, Simmons attempted freestyle rap and a quick jig. Simmons previously delivered a weather report in September 2024 for KTLA, giving commentary about how folks should dress and what they can do during certain weather conditions. "45 degrees in the evening, nice and cool, put on a sweater, you'll look cool, just like me," he quipped. Added Simmons: "Friday, 80 degrees, you know you like it hot. So do I."
