(Sorry for having to blur some footage around the 3:10 mark for about 25 seconds. RU-vid was fighting me on Copyright!) Robin Williams on Whose Line Is It Anyway? Season 3 Episode 9 (2000) #whoselineisitanyway #robinwilliams
Why would a part of the video have to be blurred for copyright reasons? It would make sense if someone was wearing a corporate logo, or there was a piece of music playing or something. But I'm confused why that particular section had to be blurred? 🤔
It’s not about something vulgar or corporate. RU-vid can be weird when it comes to copyright. It can be something as simple as blurring a 20 second clip to get it passed and be just enough to considered it fair use. It’s RU-vid’s world, I’m just trying to play in it.
I have to agree. I was a huge fan until I realized how desperate he was to make people laugh, which made me feel for him. But, definitely the greatest improv actor ever. He had no equal there.
@@greystone98he can also sing. He was amazing in The Masked Singer and he did great in Hamilton. Didn't actually see him but from the RU-vid clips he slayed it just as good as Leslie Odom Jr.
I truly hope he knew how much he was loved. That being said although in most cases I find suicide to be a selfish act sometimes it's not sometimes you want to spare your loved ones the inevitable pain RIP
@@janetcallanan7020 - I agree, but I think he was diagnosed with dementia and didn't want to lose himself and burden his family. Idk what I'd do in the same situation...
Colin spoke of this episode on a podcast years later. Nothing but glowing things to say about Robin how gracious he was abd his brilliance. He said what else can you call but a once in a lifetime experience
oh my gosh - the look on Wayne Brady's face when Robin Williams was pretending to be a cheerleader! you know he absolutely expected Robin to say that word that rhymes with truck.
Robin was an absolute master at improv. He could go into comedy clubs and improv a set right on the spot. There are very few that could get away with that. I don't think Robin ever had the best material. But, he could just right on the spot get everybody in stitches.
I think one of his best movies and stories is that of Aladdin. They animated so much extra for the genie because Robin just went off script all the time. His frantic improv energy comes through. The decision to keep on animating was gold.
He was very genuine. He made fun of everyone not out of spite but because we all do funny and stupid things. And he could rattle off so much so quickly. He delivered it with so much charisma and manic joy amd chaos that you couldn't help but love it. But he proved he could also be extremely powerful and serious. Dead Poets. Mrs. Doubtfire and so many others.
@ZesPak the directors tell the story that he came in amd read the script and then he asked of he could "play." And they said sure. Apparently there are HOURS of audio that they could never in a million years use from that session locked away somewhere.
I remember when episode this first came on the air. When Drew was introducing the contestants and he got to Robin, me and my mother were like "Nooo! It can't be! It is! Woohoo!"
I was just sitting here thinking the dame thing. I don't even remember them advertising he was going on to be on. Maybe they did and I just missed it, but I remember just sitting down with the fam to watch the new who's line is it anyway and all of a sudden there's robin Williams! We all knew we were in for a good episode when we saw him on that stage. But yeah, he was a huge star already, so it was super surprising to see a huge movie star on a network TV show like this. That's why that joke he made about "I have a career. What the hell am I doing here" was so funny, because I think it's the same thing everyone else was wondering too lol
This was, quite possibly, the single greatest episode of the show. Not only was Robin Williams just as absolutely excellent as he always was, but he seemed to elevate everyone else. Everyone was firing on all cylinders. It was perfection.
I still think this is the greatest episode of Whose Line of all time. Even above the Richard Simmons one. Robin Williams is just that good. One of the greatest and funniest comedians of all time. In the entire history of the world there will only ever be one Robin Williams. I miss that brilliant, brilliant man. Very much so. Rest in Peace.
Nah, that was certainly bad ep. Williams tried to hijack the show, and it's clear how annoying he was for the regulars. Good thing that celeb import didn't catch on.
I love Robin Williams and like many others he was a part of my childhood. I wish that the world could have found a cure for his awful diagnosis before he passed. RIP.
This comment is refreshing to see in that for once, it isn't someone attributing depression as the sole reason he killed himself. His disease was almost the perfect anti-Robin illness. It likely slowly ate away at everything good he loved and drip fed him anxiety and fear.
@@mike_nelsonI agree. He had handled depression for so long and he helped so many by being open and talking about it. The Parkinson’s and dementia that were so bad with no cures or treatment put him in a place where he’d reach a point of having no control over his decisions and so he made his own decision while he still could. My husband’s grandfather had it and made the decision to go into a hospice where he refused water and food and received pain care to keep him comfortable. He was highly intelligent and in his 90s and it was his only legal option. H said his goodbyes and once he went in everything was already set up and the familknew he didn’t want his family to see his suffering which would only be more painful for all. He passed quickly and peacefully without pain. That was a blessing for everyone but still hard. It would have been hard any way it happened but he picked the one option that caused the least pain. Wonderful man and so was Robin. ☮️🙏🏻🙏🏻💙💖💙
@@BossyGerbasi don't have an exact one because a lot of his sets weren't recorded. its well known in the comedy world that he would steal jokes but he would give money to comedians who called him out on it.
When Jonathan Winters was appearing on "Mork and Mindy", he and Robin Williams appeared together several times on Johnny Carson. OMG! It was amazing to watch them improv together. Jonathan also had his own variety program. The last 10 minutes of the show, it was just him. His crew would throw props at him and he would ad lib, using the object. It's a feature on Drew's show, but it comes from Jonathan, who got it from Steve Allen and Ernie Kovacs. But Winters was the master.
I can't believe I am so old this happened & I was over 20 years old, & it was still 20 years ago. This feels like yesterday. This was still the last few good years of life before Facebook came & ruined it
Yo my man. I'm 52 years old and have never had facebook. I get a lot of sh*t for not being on it, but there is a world out there still without facebook. just break away, you can do it.
Ugh!!!! I miss this man so much. Robin is a King in every way. Improve, standup, acting, etc. Oh, how I miss him. He will forever be remembered as the best of the best.
I'm a millennial and grew up watching Robbin Williams; Hook was one of those movies I watched on repeat as a young kid ❤ I'm obviously young still but his death has been the only celebrity death that made me cry when I found out. It was so tragic.
Robin Williams was an absolute comedy genius. It’s funny to see them all working together, upping their game with every round. I wonder how much couldn’t have been aired. Thanks for the laughs.
Robin and Wayne mixed together perfectly 💯 still hurts we lost him but he left us gems like this to remember why we love him. He was a man who loved comedy but behind his smile in pain. I wish he knew how important and deeply loved by millions of people. Wish I could tell we still love him to the core 🫠
Omg this man was fantastic at any form of comedy. Robin Williams was just amazing in any thing he ever did. You watch any of his movies now and they are still funny and heart warming to this day. I get sad when I think about him not being here anymore to make the world laugh. He is truly missed and will always be legendary.
This show was AMAZING. Drew Carey and the crew were perfectly matched. Add the comedic genius of Robin Williams…there will never be another to rival this cast. RIP Robin Williams 🙏🏽 and RIP genuine comedy
This is probaby one of the rarest pieces of media ever made. Robin Williams GENUINELY smiling and having fun. A rare bit of respite in a life void of any real happiness for a man who dedicated said life to bringing joy to others
I used to have this one episode saved on my phone back in the day, it was the only full length episode of anything I ever kept on my phone and it always made me laugh. 🥰
God, I'd love to see the outtake reel from this episode... Starting at 1:58 - pay attention to Wayne; apparently he thought Robin was gonna fire off a different rhyme, LOL.
The regulars on this show are some of the best improvisational comedians ever. Robin however was an Improv GOD. A deity of off the cuff humor. A force of comedic nature on a good roll. He is missed by millions of not billions. Talent like his is.... Well, we were all lucky to witness it.
Such a wonderful talent! (the other blokes were pretty good) but! Robin was unsurpassed!. RIP Robin, thanks for all of the laughs over the years. Nuff said.
When I watched this episode on TV many years ago, my mom and I had to pause the recording at least three times so one of us could go to the bathroom because we kept laughing so hard we were in danger of peeing our pants
It didn't matter what Robin Williams did, he was good at it. I used to know a guy from Colorado, back in the late '70's who was roommates w/ RW, before his career took off. He said he was always on, & my friend could only think of a handful of times when he waa switched off. The surprising thing, he said, was it never got old.
I have to say- this is the ONE show where the American remake is BETTER than the British original (The Office US maybe too before it jumped the shark at least).
