This time, the 65-year-old star of “Sweatin’ to the Oldies” was dressed as Medusa, replete with shimmering green gown and rubber snake headpiece. But if his new William Morris Endeavor agent and his new social media managers have their way, he will soon add another line to his voluminous résumé: Internet star. Like a lot of older people in show business, Mr. Simmons has been slow to fully grasp social media.
