I posted the same words on another Robin Williams video. It is true. Johnny could have had anyone on his last night with guest. He chose Robin and Bette Middler. She was his favorite singer.
Sorry , He is great but Don Rickles takes the price. Johnny had him on all the time and refused to do any practice or script. He just let Don go , watch the clips
Johnny handled such an explosive, unpredictable personality so brilliantly. He didn't try to stifle Robin, set him up perfectly. Just absolute brilliance.
Migod, Johnny was so talented HE KNEW HOW to let the OTHERS, let his guests shine and helped them do great. He knew how to help set up the mood for the guests on the show. He could work WITH ANY BODY.
We should all feel lucky that we got to experience him, and live in the same time, witness an absolute ultra genius. I believe Robin was able to access way, WAY more of his brain than the average human.
Robin Williams is incredible in this of course, but Johnny Carson deserves credit for being able to keep up with him so well. When he's not keeling over laughing, he's setting up a nice reparte and keeping them well on track. Incredible hosting. They're both one of a kind.
+Yeonhee Ahn You're joking right? Like this wasn't rehearsed? Its obvious Johnny was leading him...and that he knew exactly what was coming. Robin of course had a wonderful memory and mind...
+Heather Mallard It wasn't entirely improv here probably, but you should see some of his interviews on the Today Show and his interview on Inside the Actors Studio. You can't honestly tell me most of that stuff in those more "serious" interviews isn't off the cuff. No one was leading him in those interviews.
I remember riding Its A Small World ride at Disneyland in my childhood & Robin Williams was on the boat behind us with his family. He looked so happy to be there with them. We didn't bug him after the ride was over. For a moment he was unnoticed and allowed to be a father with his children. His energy was and is amazing.
Robin Williams. Actor and Comedian extraordinaire. "Awakenings" and "What Dreams May Come" are such sensitive great movies. Tears flowed down my cheeks during both. I hope and pray that Robin's Soul found peace.
Non stop one liners this guy had that ability to almost turn anything into a laugh. But also as his role in good will hunting showed he was a great dramatic actor as well now that is the definition of talent.
Robin gave so much love and laughter to the world; happiness is the worlds most valuable gift, and he spent his whole life giving so much of it. God willing he's somewhere up there feeling the overwhelming love people have for him still today. Truly one of a kind, no one will ever be Robin Williams.
I'm glad Johnny brought up what a great actor Robin was as well. Awakenings was an excellent film and Williams was also great in Dead Poets Society and Good Will Hunting.
Foot to the floor on a gas pedal that says "COCAINE". Not to disparage him - loved Robin Williams. He was a gifted, natural talent. But he never shy'ed away from his admittance of using coke in the past.
Not many people can make Johnny Carson laugh, and only a chosen few can really make him lose it like that. RIP to the greatest late night host and talk show guest ever.
thaloh I got to meet Robin outside of the Letterman Show in the days when there were no barricades blocking off the crowd and put my hand on his shoulder and he seemed so kind and humble beyond words. I can't explain it more than that way.
johnny must have went through hell not being to breath, i'm so glad i quit smoking 30 years ago FUCKING COLD TURKEY JOHNNY COULDN'T GIVE THEM upJUST LIKE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE CAN'T, WHAT A FUCKING WASTE OF LIFE!
Because the real talent is gone and everything is about identity politics. Haven't watched in years. Thank you, You Tube contributors, for keeping these people alive!
Someone like Robin Williams doesn't die. He's simply sleeping and letting us miss his presence on screen and on stage. Don't know about the world but I miss his unique performance. No-one could take his place. He made us laugh our hearts out throughout his whole career. He was not happy in his personal life but never let his fans know that. He was bleeding inside but never let us see the blood stain. That's not an easy thing to do.
I was lucky enough to meet Robin Williams in Los Angeles when he was in the middle of filming his movie “Moscow On The Hudson” and was able to get an autograph, which was a thrill !! He is just as funny off camera as on and a very gifted individual indeed !! Rip dear sir, our sweet Robin Williams. 🙏🏻🌹💋✝️💜
Exceptional ability make everyone laugh while masking his inner turmoil. How Robin's mind worked amazed me. Johnny was such a great host too. . Great combo... both sorely missed.
Just to see Johnny’s face now, makes me feel sooo good. He was the most polite and respectful late night host in history, no one can fill his shoes! He never ever put his guests down or made them feel disrespected. ❤️johnny…and Robin! We are so lucky to have had the chance to know these men.
There simply isn't anybody like this left in the world of comedy. Such confidence. Such energy. There is no such comedian in this modern world to compare him to. RIP Robin.
This man is pure genius. The world has truly lost a one in a million actor and human being. I never knew him but cried when I found out he passed, I grew up with this man. Most of my favourite movies have Robin Williams in them and I am so sad to know that the world will never see a man like this ever again. Rest in Peace.
His voice is so warm. The way he speaks is so gentle and thoughtful, you can just tell he was such an intelligent and deep-thinking person from how effortlessly the words flow. What a beautiful beautiful person, universally loved. I hope deep in my heart that he is resting well now. We love you Robin, not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you terribly.
R.I.P. "Awakenings" is one of my all time favorite movies. I cry everytime. Robin you were a brilliant light and breath of fresh air. You will be missed.
First things first. Johhny Carson will never be duplicated. What a class act. Robin Williams is brilliant. He is definately a hyper person, but his mind is brilliant. There are only a few people that come to mind that I would like to meet.He is at the top of my list. Part of his hyper act is him. Plain and simple. He made a career out of this. But he has a brilliant mind. 100x smarter that your average person. I would love to meet the guy just to talk to him.
He's soooo funny and entertaining. It's hard taking my eyes off the screen as soon as he comes on. It's heartbreaking we'll never get to see this comedic genious live again. He'll be missed very much.
I really miss him. What is so sad for me is he had an illness that robbed him of his sanity and dignity at the end. A bad ending for a brilliant mind. I’m grateful for clips like this.
For all those saying that Mr. Williams was "only" depressed, as if that weren't really enough, he wasn't ONLY depressed. He had Lewy's body dementia. His wife has stated that his health took such a turn with it, and they didn't even know what was going on until it was too late. LBD is sneaky, and can come and go. He may have suffered for years and not known. When it reaches its final stages it's a devastating thing. Bless all who suffer from "invisible illnesses", you are missed, good sir.
Very kind and compassionate words. He was one of the most entertaining artists of our times. And when portraying serious roles, in films he "actually" became that person he was trying to portray No one who did not know of his comedic talents, could even fathom that he too, was a brilliant performing actor. Rest in Peace Our Funny Little Man, Rest, In Peace !
After seeing him in Good Morning Vietnam and Dead Poets Society, as well as interviews with Johnny Carson and others I came to actually love him. So smart and funny and so sad that he took his life because of Lewi body dimensia. I have lost family but I think I will always miss him, too.
I love all the comedians and accessory Robin Williams his eye straight everything for me and I've ever seen seems to think it seems with having them to look at him they know they seem like there's something going on in your head maybe from when they were children that makes him try to be funny to cover up maybe a sad childhood
I was trying to say earlier came out all wrong that Robin Williams is a great to me and so are many of the other ones but they all seem to have sort of a complex or something from their childhood that makes them want to be on stage and be funny to cover up maybe a very sad childhood
We always wondered where Robin Williams got that frantic, frenetic, and endless maniacal energy when he performed his comedy routine. It is as if he can call-in a supply of adrenaline and will it to his head, that he could not even sit still sometimes.
He was amazing. It's a wonder anyone could keep pace with him... you'd barely get chance to draw breath from laughing at a joke, and he'd be another three - or six - ahead of you. Such a wonderful, funny man.
Absolutely. I come from Glasgow, the hometown of Billy Connolly, who stated that Williams was his hero. Connolly doesn't hand out compliments that often, when he does, you can be damn sure they're true. I'm still missing the wee man. Genius is not a word to be bandied about. But when you listen to RW in his stand up routines, a mind that works that quick has to be considered for that category,
Robin Williams was a great actor and comedian known for his quick wit and improvisational skills. He was able to connect with audiences and bring a unique energy to every performance. Williams was also known for his versatility and ability to portray a wide range of characters, from lovable and funny to dark and complex. He was a true talent and will be remembered as one of the greatest entertainers of all time.
My doctor just told me I have cancer. I've been 'loading' again on Robin Williams these days. I'll surely look for him - of course, after I find my dad and my grandparents! - when the time comes for me to go. It could be sooner than I might expect... But, I know I'm going to look for a lot of people when my time comes. He's probably still cracking jokes somewhere 'out there'. I'll thank him for making it a bit less 'heavy' (emotionally) as I knowingly walk through the path of inevitability. It's been fun watching him... :)
+Jiyū ...not really brave. just trying to be honest about the fact that 'i didn't even decide to be born'. so, i don't really get to decide much about some of life's 'inevitable realities'. btw, i 'lived' after the surgery. doc said, surprisingly, i still got some time. treatments lined up, of course... Now, i treat time like drinking water that can't be wasted. can't spill the minutes on 'unhappy moments'.
He talks about his character, a doctor in real life who deals with patients who have conditions unknown to most and all I could think is, damn I wish this doctor knew about Lewy Body Dementia back then. Maybe if this was more widely known they could have found a treatment plan long before we lost one of the greatest comedians of all time. Robin Williams, he gave joy and laughter to many and left one hell great legacy. And in his death he gave face to a horrible disease that hopefully more research can lead to treatment. May they all rest in peace.
Robin Williams is a genius talent. I have always known and felt that he was not accidentally sent to us, on this earth. So keep loving him and never forget what a tremendous talent and value he was to us.
To all of Robins children, your dad is a joy to the world not because of his talent but because his a great human being who not think about himself but the people in his country. Very kind person.
You can tell from just listening to him that he was a very intelligent man. His thoughts were like a whirlwind in his head and when they were spoken, they flowed without a flaw. Granted he jumped from one joke to another at a high rate of speed, but that's what made him so unique. No matter what the subject, he could pull a joke off the top of his head. And he and Jonathan Winters were hysterical when they played off each other. It was priceless. What I find so tragic is that this man stood before thousands of people, with the sole intent on making us laugh, all the while he was so severely depressed but he didn't show the slightest sign of it while he performed. That must have been so incredibly difficult for him. For those who didn't care for his humor, than so be it. But you cannot deny this man the respect and admiration he deserved. With the loss of Robin Williams, comedy will now feel the huge void he left. I hope he has found the peace he so desperately needed.
@@paulkazanjian9555 ...i don't even believe he Killed Himself! Several others suspect the same but I guess it's neither here nor there now so just GOD BLESS HIM. He was the funniest man ever.
that speed joking is manic. Manic depressives are usually over the top intelligent ( my mother had it) but when they were down there was a side to them that was intolerable...dark....if they turned on you then it was hell on earth. I hope he wasn't that way with his wives but usually it's a 2 prong personality going on there and you had to have your own designated space to recoup from their manic episodes. Might've been what was going on there. I know my mom would apologize after going into an episode and demoralizing you but I just chose not to live with her and caregive from afar. Might've been what happened here as to why they slept in different rooms. God bless him.
...actually...someone made a comnent that he was suicided...and that does fall in line with alot of the famous who spoke out about the wrong people. Mr. Williams used to make hilarious jokes about some very dangerous political people and I hopeand pray it wasnt what happened to him. God BLESS his soul.
