Wow it's crazy this is 41 years ago and he was 60. And as I type this I'm just seeing he passed at 101. I was hoping it was just a random video until I saw the news pop up on my phone as I was writing. RIP. Greatest sitcoms in history was from this man

Maude, One Day at a Time, Sanford and Son, All in the Family, The Jeffersons. 2 very great men, Norman Lear and Robin Williams, may they both rest in peace and laughter. Thanks Dave for posting❤

@jimmyholloway8527 9 месяцев назад

101. Just wonderful in the last few years how they recast & "broadcast" episodes of his groundbreaking television. It's not the standards today that would keep those shows off the air, It's the lack of audience comprehension and 5-Minute attention span.

@Area_Man 9 месяцев назад

I can't take much of Robin Williams the comedian. The actor is great. He never really says much that's actually funny, as Dave points out a few times. He is clearly irritated that Robin came out and has to tell him to wait to talk until spoken to.

@milart12 9 месяцев назад

No kidding. I NEVER thought that he was funny, and this is a perfect example.

@yournamehere6002 9 месяцев назад

I thought he had moments of brilliance, riffs that worked, but sometimes he was just spitting out non-sequiturs and doing funny voices without point or purpose. Don Rickles was like that, insults that were sharp and then stuff that was just word salad.

@Jim_L 9 месяцев назад

Robin is not all that funny here, but I like this very, very early 1980s period of his on talk shows, because he's actually a bit nervous and shy still, so he doesn't do that hyper-active-manic shtick he adopted maybe a year or two later when he appeared in public. Oh, goodness -- that was sooooo grating. But here, he's more restrained.

@milart12 9 месяцев назад

Totally agree. I never found Robin Williams funny. Usually just rapid-fire stream of conscious that fell flat.

It was a bit of a shock to see Norman run out! He has been back in the public eye recently, due to Jimmy Kimmel launching recreations of classic episodes. He looked so good cohosting those shows that it was hard to believe that he was 101 - but he was also unbelievably energetic for 60!

Who would've thought then that Norman Lear, roughly thirty years Robin's senior, would one day outlive the much younger man by close to ten years? I'm sure Lear, a most kindhearted and empathetic soul who very much deserved his great longevity, would have preferred it be the other way around 😢
