Biography

Background

PastorRichards-Artwork — Artwork of Pastor Richards.

Richards is a corrupt and wholly insane televangelist from Mars, Alabama, who's head of the Pastor Richards' Salvation Statue Organization, which promises salvation (in the form of a radiation-proof giant living space/effigy of Richards) to all those who pay him very large donations (he later reveals that he was actually planning on using the money to build himself a palace mansion in Hawaii) when a guest on Pressing Issues (VCPR).

1980s

By the end of The segment, Pastor Richards snaps, and, disgusted by Barry Stark's nudism, pulls a gun on Stark and shoots him in the genitals, while Jan Brown passes out. Barry survives and "is in need of a proctologist". Pastor Richards also ends up claiming the station as his own for a short while. Pastor Richards was also once invited to a boat party by Juan Cortez, the only time he actually appears.

Trivia

Along with several other past characters, Pastor Richards is one of the honored names on the sidewalk of Vinewood Boulevard.
Richards was supposed to have a larger role and be seen more in the game than his brief appearance on Cortez's Yacht.
Richards seems to be based on real-life televangelist/con-artist Peter Popoff, as both rose to prominence in the 1980s and both promised salvation in exchange for monetary donations only to use the money solely for themselves. He also has some cues to preacher Jimmy Swaggart, which also was a very famous televangelist with dubious background and involved in several sex scandals.
