What was the reference in the talk show for Ragi Baba?


When Roger goes to the talk show as the guru he's dressed in a gown for men (I think it's called a thawb?) with a messy Afro and doing kind of a silly dance / walk onto the stage. I'm certain this is a reference to a show or movie or maybe even an appearance by a celebrity in real life. I just can't place it. Anyone know what that scene references? Thanks.

At the time I thought it might be a play on Richard Simons. And a quick image search seems to agree with me http://media2.s-nbcnews.com/j/newscms/2016_11/1456781/160314-richard-simmons-754a_6533be229930bed481466ca873dc84d2.nbcnews-ux-2880-1000.jpg
