Top 20 Times Talk Show Hosts Cried on TV 

I don't think most ppl feel that was no more. Mostly the toxic Conservative crowd does bcus they don't know what strength is. Valid comment tho

Not showing emotion is weakness in my opinion

@@erikkoski6129 Facts. And we should always teach our kids that bcus pent up emotion leads to alot of violence in society. Ppl who think emotion is weak are childish at best, dangerous at worse. Thank you man

@@SamoaVsEverybody814 yeah agreed

“People cry not because they’re weak. But because they have been strong for too long.” - Johnny Depp “the goat”

the world is grateful you’re still here 🤍

Good for you, please keep fighting. There are people who's hearts will be broken if you don't. Sending my best wishes to you.

I’m so happy you’re still here!

So glad you’re still here! Sending lots of strength and love. 🤗🤗🤗

Well done. I salute u! 🫡 As for Robin, I get it. Was a CNA for 20 yrs & worked many times with folks who had the same illness Ronin had, Lewey Body disease. I don't blame him. He would have been absolutely miserable & would have died a terrible death. That's why I can empathize as to why he did it. 😢

You are so right we need people like him I loved his kind of comedy he could make any one laugh rip Robin

Yes he's missed lots and was just so funny.. So sad 😔 he's gone 😭 miss him on the TV 📺 and films.. Love from London 🇬🇧

He had Lewy Body Dementia, he was losing his mind and suffering.

Depression is a very tough BBEG final boss

@@xxthatsnotmexxWe know.

Me too 🥺🙏🏽😞

And then not long after he shows his true colors and how much he hates this country and everything about it.

I seriously wish Jon would run for congress, senate or even pres....he's got what it takes in strength but also compassion....

@@thehours59 He's also full of shit and either knowingly lies or is ignorant of facts quite often.

Just posted this. So true

That part hit me hard too. And I didn't even see that particular show. But that movie is one of my favorite Robin Williams films. Equal to Good Morning Vietnam actually.

@@kathyjones1576 I’m with you. Robin was a comedic genius, but his talent went so much farther than that. DPS was hands-down one of the best films of that era.

Agreed. Such a gem of the human race. I never knew him, but damn did I love him.

Same here. And I know I'm not the only person who took to social media the next day with photos of us standing on our desks.

Robins death was the hardest celebrity death for me I was sad for days it affected me almost as much as losing my grandparents and parents

I’m a boomer and have no children or grandchildren myself. All due respect, the loss of a child or grandchild is far more devastating. Everyone expects to outlive their parents or grandparents. I’m not saying it doesn’t cause grief, which it does, but it doesn’t come close to the loss of anyone you expect to outlive you by perhaps decades☮️

I'm not ashamed to say I was crying myself when you got to Jimmy Fallon talking about the death of his mother, it made me remember when my own mom died.

@@batgurrl We are not here to compare grieving. Everyone grieves differently and has their own devastating losses. Comments like this are the lowest of the low. You sir can STFU

@@batgurrl I'm a boomer too. When my Dad died it felt like someone slammed their fist into my chest & pulled my heart out; I couldn't breathe. Fast forward to one of my boomer friends losing her only daughter, to suicide no less, & I said to her, "I can only imagine how much grief you, as a Mother, must be feeling after knowing the depths of my own grief when my Dad died". No Parent is supposed to outlive their child. One of the few times I ever saw my Mom cry was when we were sitting on the couch watching "Terms Of Endearment". She could barely speak through her gasping cries while listening to Shirley MacLaine scream "Give Her The Shot". My Mom grabbed my thigh, in a death grip, & said, "There is nothing I wouldn't do to keep you alive".

@@dee_dee_place wow, that was awesome and so well put. I can’t imagine trying to find words for a friend who’s child kill themself. I imagine all you can do is ‘hold their hand’ until the emotions start to flow. I hope your friend didn’t blame self. I hope your own grief has lessened through time. YES that particular scene in Terms Of Endearment was probably submitted to the Academy and helped her win the best supporting actress Oscar. Another Moment was when she actually passed and embraced Flip and said she thought she would feel relieved when she did pass, but nothing was harder. Don’t remember exact words. Your mom’s sentiment at the moment is rarer typical of people who actually have a heart.

It’s tragic that the U.S.A., supposedly the greatest country in the world, doesn’t have universal healthcare.

And his fight for survivors. His passion makes me cry every time.

Jon Stewart is a leftie

@@XxforevercandygirlXx Interesting. I've never seen him write.

@@meljstephanhaha Well played

He's a phony

@@yeahbuddy3258 Based on what?

I did to I remember watching some of these as they happened and they still make me cry

Same here. I completely lost it when Robin Williams was mentioned

@Nomadic Dragon - I'm w/you there @Nomadic, that's the main reason why I completely LOST IT back in 2001 (a MONTH B4 9/11), when Aaliyah's plane went down into a ball of fire. She was my #1 Celeb. I mean I LOVED that girl (still DO)! She seemed so sweet, that it FELT like I KNEW her - knew her. I bawled my eyes out. Matter of fact, the anniversary is coming up on the 25th, here!😔 Then, just a couple of weeks L8r 9/11 happened.🤦‍♀️

I agree ❤

She was talking through the thing. Cmon people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone else that I would like to give a hug to, Mr. Depp.

💯

Agree. 💯

I can't imagine how it feels. Wish you all good things, hope you could celebrate every moment you had with her and feel better. Also thank you for showing it your strength. That my love reach out from Brazil to wherever you are!

So very sorry for your loss Dear. Sincerely hope your future is filled with light and love.

Beklee Dee. My deepest sympathies on the loss of your beautiful daughter. I also lost my only child in Aug 2020 from stage 4 breast cancer. She was only 48 years old. No one can understand the pain you are going through but you carry her in your heart forever❤️🌹

I am so sorry you lost your baby girl. My deepest condolences.

All of these were so heartbreaking, but Nick's was my most emotional. My son was 33 when I lost him. We were like best friends and spent a lot of our free time together. I feel blessed to have him for 33 years...

Everyone cried when Kennedy was assassinated.

I was alive but you are so right.

Glad I'm not the only one. I haven't really watched his movies since his death because it's still hard to believe that he's gone.

@@savontaediggs2151 no you're not alone, I watched Jack a couple years ago and it wrecked me. I'm clearly still not ready yet either.

Really. You guys must've been close friends.

I always do.

Seeing Nick Cannon crying just kills me

His reading of the victims of the Pulse night club shooting made me cry like a baby

I knew someone in college from that tornado.

From what I understand Anderson Cooper also interviewed a teacher from Briarwood Elementary School by the name of Robin Dziedzic. Robin was sheltering in a girls bathroom with several students who were crying and borderline hysterical. When the tornado hit the school; Robin screamed bloody murder. Eventually she pulled herself together and reassured the students that it was almost over. After the tornado had passed over the school and Robin was able to see the students were safe as well as reassuring them they were okay due to being in a brick building despite the roof having been damaged; Robin opened the bathroom door and cautiously looked into the hallway to see if she could get the kids to safety. Nothing could have mentally prepared her for what she saw and heard the moment she opened the door: the school was flat out destroyed and she heard dozens of students who were screaming and crying. After having a second mental breakdown; Robin and her fellow Briarwood teachers hurriedly sprang into action and began escorting the students to safety. Blessedly no fatalities occurred at Briarwood Elementary School. The day after the tornado; Robin returned to the school as a means of accepting what had occurred to her. The footage Robin was shooting on her phone was eerie to say the least: the first grade wing of the school destroyed, a car flung into the remains of the classroom of her colleague Mrs. Goodman, the bathrooms where they were sheltering, white X's spray painted onto doors, and eventually her classroom.

I remember that broadcast. I cried along with Anderson as I live 22 miles away from Moore. All of Oklahoma cried. And some of us still do when we think back to that horrid, nightmarish day.

No

Didn't they play "My Hero" for his return?

Yep

💜💜💜

He said 'my favourite song from my favourite band' ❤ Everlong 💙

Totally agree…I watched it that night and cried like a baby.

Dang... I'm sorry... 🥺

I’m so sorry. 😞 An old friend of mine’s sister was one of those who passed away, Kirsty, on that London Bridge attack. It devastated back home in SA. It was inconceivable to think about when we heard. May I ask if your friend was Xavier? I remember reading about him. 💕

THANK YOU FOR SHARING...I CIRED AS I READ YOUR HEART/WORDS. SO VERY TRAGIC. LIFE IS NOT ALWAYS FAIR FOR SURE. YOUR FRIEND SOUNDED LIKE A BRAVE HERO. I KNOW YOU ARE PROUD OF HIM AND HOW HE SAVED HIS WIFE. I KNOW YOU WILL ALWAYS MISS HIM IN COUNTLESS WAYS. SO VERY SORRY...

I respect him he is so very genuine

I was at a restaurant in the UK when it was announced...I had to excuse myself as I couldn't stop crying....Robin Williams, Freddie Mercury, George Carlin and George Michael...Gen X remembers exactly when our poets died...

I remember all of them and they were all part of my childhood especially Freddie Mercury and George Carlin damn another comedian icon we miss hearing from

Robin Williams first appeared when I was a young adult, Mork and Mindy, but I too was devastated by his death and especially the details. Besides his acting and work on Comic relief, I also saw him do a few HBO comedy specials plus dozens of appearances in TV shows. Comic geniuses such as him are few and far between. RIP🙏☮️

@@geordiecanuck2696 except for George Michael, more of an icon for Gen xers and younger, boomers remember all these deaths too plus the more recent horrible year of David Bowie then Prince a couple of months later plus several other musicians. George Michael died later that year and Glenn Frey, one of the main members of The Eagles

@@geordiecanuck2696 I was at work when I heard about Robin Williams & Michael Jackson's deaths. I stood in the middle of my clinic hallway & just cried over Michael; he was just a few months older than me & WE DID grow up together. And Robin, there never was nor will there ever be another like Robin Williams. I was in shock. Not only had I seen him in concert the year before, but I was also still reeling from my Hero, my Big Sister's death at the beginning of the same year.

He didn't kill himself because of depression, he had Lewy Body Dementia and was rapidly losing his mind.

@xxthatsnotmexx oh wow really? I never heard that. That's so sad.

@@cariaynmorgan3495 yeah there are a few interviews on RU-vid with his wife, it's a very devastating disease.

@Cariayn Morgan just search "lewy body dementia robin williams" there's a ton of videos.

I will. Cause most post or videos I've seen is saying from depression.

Jon Stewart and David Letterman's statements after 9/11 are the most heartfelt I've ever seen and I will always tear up when I watch them.

I agree! After 9/11 my emotions were fear, anxiety and sadness for how many people we lost including the first responders who tried to help people escape the World Trade Center and kept going back until the towers collapsed, even though we finally caught those who were responsible for our tragedy it won’t bring back everyone we lost

Here's the thing. Even if the First Responders had been told about all that (asbestos, cancer, leukemia), they still would've went in. That's the very reason 'why' they deserve aid.

He has a big heart

He was a beast fighting for those guys. So much respect 😊

I was supposed to fly from the west coast back to the east coast to visit my Sister. The Saturday before my flight I started to feel very anxious about flying. My Sister said to me, "you flew through 2 hurricanes, what are you worried about"? I couldn't shake the feeling that the plane was going to crash & I told my co-worker on Monday, "if this feeling doesn't go away by Wednesday, I'm canceling my flight". Tuesday morning, I put on a pot of coffee, turned on the TV, & watched the replay of the 1st plane hitting the 1st Twin Tower. I fell back into my chair & started crying... THOSE were the planes I felt CRASHING. I called my Sister & said, "I didn't tell you before because I knew you would think I was crazy, but I felt a plane crashing, but I thought it would be my plane crashing, not other planes". The next day, one of my company's vendors came running over to me, very upset, & asked if all my family members were ok. I still have quite a few relatives living & working in NYC.

I am a retired secretary from our local college in Oneonta NY. I remember that day so vividly. I had students coming in my office crying because they were not able to reach family and friends. Classes were cancelled and we were informed we could leave. I did not leave early because I wanted to be available if anyone needed to talk. I often think of that horrible day, even though I am now retired after 40 years of service.

@@dee_dee_place thank goodness you listen to your gut. All mamals have it. But humans tend to ignore it

I had a bad premonition 36 hours before the first plane flew into the towers. A sense of doom that was so strong. I literally spent 30 minutes walking back and forth between my car and work arguing with myself about should I go in and call the authorities. Never would I have guessed the horror of the events that would occur I know authorities would have ignored it and laughed. Thinking I was a quack. but on the other hand I wish I had done more

I remember that day so well. I saw the planes crashing on TV. I worked in a political office at the time and our VP had the TV on. He screamed and we all went rushing in. I thought to myself oh it looks like a Hollywood film, this can't be real, just like War of the Worlds on the radio wasn't. Then I saw the next plane hit, my stomach turned and I screamed no no no. My job was to take our revenue to the bank. I walked down Bay street, our financial district to find that downtown Toronto had been evacuated. I actually walked down the yellow line. I went back to work and told them. They decided to close down as well. The very next day, I was leaving for work when 2 of our air force fighter jets flew over my head. I sank down on my steps and cried, gut wrenching cry because I knew the world I was brought up in would never ever be the same! I miss my old world, I wish it would come back!

"Seems" is the key word

@@christopherjakel1049 Do you have evidence to the contrary?

@@brianborchardt7198 yes.

@@christopherjakel1049 wanna share?

@@brianborchardt7198 he's a propagandist entertainer. That crap has no place on a stage like his.

I remember I didn’t think it was real. I thought it was another celeb death hoax and when I found out it was real, I was devastated.

I had to pull over too. I think I just sat there for like 20 minutes. It was just like, What The Hell, how is there a world without Robin Williams in it? It's too bad he didn't know how many people loved him.

Well said!

nick cannon is overrated he should stop making babies he's got 9 kids now

@@ME-zp9co will have his tenth in a couple months. He needs to be put under the knife to stop his obsessive breeding.

​@@ME-zp9coMy thoughts exactly. If you have 100 kids, odds are one of them might die early..

I said the same thing but my friend explained it to me like this... I think it's because you can't weep over every strangers death. People die all day everyday. You'd be constantly grieving and depressed. It's not that the other 7 dont matter. It's just that people subconsciously grouped them in with all the other people that die in tragic accidents all the time. In fact, they still recieved more attention than many others that have died in tragic accidents. Do you know their names too? People are mostly moved by people that have touched their lives. Celebrities touch more lives through being famous therefore they seem acknowledged by more.

Paul Walkers driver modified the car and drove to fast it's his fault.

@@MySistah I was going to reply, but your words said it much better. 🤍

Thank you so much for recognizing the others.I feel I know your heart.

@@robirvine6970 - AMEN!!

He was awesome 😊

I agree with everything you said. Craig needs to come back to late night!

An American on purpose. He always had a great sense of humor, quick wit and amazing delivery.

And I'm SO BITTER that his show The Hustler was canceled, it was SO GOOD

He had a dry sense of humor, loved his witty jokes.

Dude had alot of sad things happen to him hes an emotional guy and jt shows men that we can show emotions and not be shamed for it we are human

That was a heart wrenching thing to see people looking for their loved ones. No one in the tri state especially was ok 💔.

@@feliciajenkins5041 as a Boomer from NYC, when the buildings fell I was in shock but did not cry. On the local news they showed that many times because it was ongoing. THAT was what made me cry.👍🏻

@@BooperDooper123 true, but a lot of sad things happen to many of them, no doubt and they are friends with many people in entertainment who died. So Jimmy Kimmel crying over someone who was 91 years old wasn’t very heart wrenching considering that he cries frequently.

@@batgurrl i never cry, because i been taught to hide my emotions but im trying to break the cycle of men being taught that, a 91 yr old dying is inevitable yes but the guy had a close relationship to him, yea he might cry alot probably some crocodile tears or they all real and hes overly emotional but a guy showing his emotions on tv no matter if he cries alot or not shows everyone that men have emotions and any tragedy or death affect people in different ways, they might supress it like me (unhealthy method) or they let it out like jimmy does which is a better way to be

A lot of people from different backgrounds cried. I remember the police standing at their post were crying at the news of Princess Diana's death.

When I found out why, it made it a little easier. Not much, but a little.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Ellen was so fake. She didn't care about the dog in the first place and gave it away. If the hairdresser's family wanted the dog, they could go through the proper paperwork to adopt the dog. Ellen was just pretending to be a compassionate person.

SAME!!! I am getting choked up especially when Ellen D. David Letterman and Craig Ferguson....

Xd

Speak for yourself dude

There are copy right laws

Hearing the passing of father and daughter, my heart broke

@@olvialee7221 on the bright side, they were always there for each other. always together, until the end

Yeah, I watched his farewell show live and I cried then, too. A class act!

Me too. Remember the moment with Bette Midler??? Oomph. He went out with pure class.

I watched his show on antenna TV and I enjoyed his show My favorite was when he was interacting with animals

I miss Carnac!! He was truly funny!!

I agree. John Stewart has been a hero for people/families of Sept 11

It was anger he expressed, not sadness with tears.

He expressed justified anger & ripped the Republicans apart. I'd have to rewatch, but I don't recall any tears being shed.

Yes, his impassioned speech was huge.

Yea I could almost feel his rage with that speech

@@lauracastle6035 He cried. I watched that monologue twice on 1/6/21 and he was so angry, he had tears in his eyes. It was terrible.

Ellen's so fake

Facts.

I have read so much about the reports, was she such a bad person off camera? I know a few celebrities don't like her but I assume not everyone can like you.

Right!

Thank you I skipped that one cause it pissed me off so much like she doesn't care about anyone about herself not even kids

The week of the Uvalde,Texas shooting had Jimmy Kimmel really putting in his two cents!

I have a picture on my wall that my English teacher took for fun in 1999. We were on a trip to New York City for a week and she had us wrap our arms around each other and stare up at the twin towers. I put it in a two-part frame with my own picture of the towers from that same day.

I'm not a New Yorker but I agree it doesn't feel right looking at the skyline of New York without the twin towers

What's so sad is that there is a generation of people who have never seen the New York City skyline with the twin towers, except as history.

I remember when the Twin Towers were being built when I was young . They were the NYC skyline . I remember the day I saw them fall down as well . Just one of the most frightening and emotional times ever . The only good thing that came out of that horrible devastation was that we were United as a people . That was the last time we were United . When 9/11 happened we were Americans not democrats or republicans. We need to get back to that and work together to make all our lives better .

That's because he now knows a part of his legacy as a celebrity will now live on right next to his childhood home.

And Parkland 😔

Yes. I truly don't understand why more people were not crying n g about that.

​@@1WitchyBitchbecause Maddow is a propagandist, and she never cried about the sake thing happening when it was instituted under the Obama administration. So she comes off a disingenuous.

I recall seeing Ellen's segment live. Thought it looked fake on her part. Still gives me the same vibe.

@@emilywickler8871what did she ever do to you? For many yrs all Ellen did was help crippled children,single mothers,such as myself & try to make us smile! A few rumors that you don’t know are true isn’t a fair way to judge her!

Same here. Same
