I am so glad to hear the appreciation of late great Robin Williams. For me no one can match Robin's talent. He's a magical entertainer and an amazing human being. Rest in eternal peace you sweet man.❤
oh I just LOVE this speech! The LOVE what these 3 shared and yes from different backgrounds can never be replaced or copied over! Robin Williams was a true Icon, gentle soul and an incredibly gifted comedian & actor. Not only is he remembered by his many fans but will always live on with Whoopi & Billy! Cheers from V.A. 🤟
I am in my 50's now with adult children but I can tell you this as fact, Billy Crystal has always been apart of my life since I can remember. I remember in the 70's seeing him all over tv and various variety shows. My entire family absolutely loved this man and his comedic delivery. It appealed to every human being and crossed all racial lines. He was just a warm. Funny and relatable guy. By the time he was hosting the Oscar's. Mom thought he was handsome. I think she was crushing on Billy at that time. Lol. Love thus guy so much. Congratulations Billy Crystal. A fan for life.
@@Naneve1970 I used to watch Soap with my parents back in real time when it was airing. During my Christmas vacation from work. I've been watching old interviews and footage of him and I must say, his look with the mustache and beard is Hot!! I rewatched the movie " Running Scared'" with he and Geegory Hines as cops and I must say, I needed a bib because I was drooling over him. Lol
SOAP with Katherine Helmond, Robert Mulligan, Catherine Damon, Robert Mandan and Robert Guillaume is still the best soap opera ever made and top 3 sitcoms of all time imo! RIP Robin Williams ❤
A very sweet, emotional tribute to Billy Crystal, we all wish that Robin would have been there to honor his dear friend. Woopie thank you so much for what you said to Billy. I love you all, Woopie, Billy, and Robin ! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations to Billie Crystal. God bless Whoopi, a great talent, and kudos to her for everything we went through in the industry to realize her dream! RIP Robin, I know you are so proud.
Glad Billy Crystal has been rewarded and agree - this is well deserved recognition of a legendary talent. Always heartbreaking that our world today is without Robin in it and it is the poorer for it.
PLEASE PUT SOME RESPECT ON OUR EGOT!!! “68 year old COMEDIAN” Really??? She’s EGOTed. She’s an actress, singer, tv personality, producer, and so so much more. ❤️
@keiwon.x.lambert I think that Whoopi Goldberg is now unfairly seen as “just” one of the hosts of The View. People forget her tremendous range as an actress, her groundbreaking work in stand-up and her ability to bring great work to life as a producer. She should be honored at the Kennedy Center in the future, but look how long it took them to acknowledge Renee Fleming and Dionne Warwick. 🙄
I am a 67-year-old black guy who loves non pc humor. I truly enjoyed Robin, Whoopi and Billy over the years. RIP Robin. Billy Crystal you are still the man. Thanks for all of the great humor you have provided us over the years.
Can only imagine what it would have been like to have Robin Williams on that stage and to watch him go sideways while honoring his friend. To quote Mr. Crystal "Robin Williams - what a concept" As for their sister Whoopi and her speech. It is a lesson in Class...
I love this trio! I miss Robin so much and I know they do too. I am blessed to know that you all have shared your life and comedy with us! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
I will always love Whoopi Goldberg even if I never meet her. She is a strong woman and a great role model. Congratulations to her friend Billy Crystal. A well-deserved honor.❤
Comedy legends, all of them, each of them, in their own right. So grateful for laughter. So grateful for comedy, comedians and all things funny. Such a dull world it would be without laughs. 😊
Robin Williams was such a beautiful human being,was so good to the homeless ❤ Billy and whoopie too ! There are so many unhoused people in this world that need our help,we can never stop fighting on their behalf ! Love to you all 😍
Thankful for those who keep Robin Williams memories alive! He was my Favorite actor, it's been almost 10 yrs an I still can't watch anything he's been in because his death has hit me so hard even writing this has me in tears... congrats Billy thanks for the laughs throughout the yrs
I miss him so much but at the same time I'm so grateful for him and watch his movies etc whenever I need to laugh smile or inspiration. It never fails and I'm grateful for that too. ☮️😃☪️
I grew up with his kids, and he really is a mensch as Whoopi says. He directed us in a talent show performance in third grade and got us top hats and spent all this time with us helping us with our song in the basement of his house as if we were going on Broadway. Such a kind, warm family, all of them. So delighted to see he was honored in this way. I didn't even know it happened- UA-cam just recommended it to me. Loved watching this clip!
While rightfully celebrating Billy Crystal’s recognition, can we also note the Kennedy Center has overlooked Whoopi Goldberg’s EGOT-winning career AND they never honored Robin Williams during his lifetime.
I wish they would give posthumous Kennedy Center Honors because Robin so deserved it. I am glad that Robin had and has such a wonderful best friend in Billy.
To this day, one of the hardest things to watch on all of UA-cam is her and Billy paying tribute to him on "The View" after Billy's eulogy at the Oscars.
My dad had lunch with robin on wednesdays n he was real depressed in the end. I love u robin i love ur morals i love listening to blues with u n my dad.. things be so differemt now ..whoopie u know he right there with u take care of eachother forever !
How can you not LOVE Billy?! (And yes, I miss Robin so much! So imagine how it is for the people who actually knew him.) How beautiful this was. How great Billy Crystal is. And how wonderful was this from Whoopi.
Those three when they first started…..wayyyy back at the very beginning of HBO specials knew how to make pure silliness. Let me quote Wicked……cause getting your dreams as strange as it seems A little - well, complicated. There’s a kinda sort of cost. There’s a couple of things get lost……. If you all only could go back in time….. ❤❤❤❤❤
Big Congratulations, Billy! Very much earned! I can remember when you played the first gay male on TV, and you did it perfectly and beautifully....Robin, Robin, Robin, I'm a big fan from WAY back. My friend and I saw you preform at Kent Statue University Auditorium in Kent, OH in the very early 80's. I'm so in love with your gift; humor has always been my safe space. I have Depression, and when it all gets too much, I bring you up on UA-cam. We have a lovely little visit and you lifted my soul and heart.😘😍🤩 With the insanity of our world going on since 2020, again, and again, I desperately long for your stand-up, razor-sharp, and on point! Dude, you would've had a conniption dealing all this political blather! I miss you SO much; thank God for UA-cam so I can come for a visit anytime I need to. Thank you!
I know Billy from Soap an Robin from Mork and Mindy yes I'm old school so sue me🤣 love them all Whoopi is also one of my favorite Actress/Comedian 😂 would of love to have met Robin hope one day I meet Billy and Whoopi an tell them how much they made my life enjoyable thank you also Robin 🥲rest in peace

Whoppi said exactly what we were all thinking. You were a trio beyond special.
Speak for yourself.
@@jamesanthony5681 Kinda looks like you're speaking for yourself only there, bud.

The 3 of them are my heroes

Man I will always love that man as if I've known him. I'm so grateful to have been alive to see his work in real time. 😢
For those that never saw it or even know of it, find any Comic Relief with Whoopi, Billy and Robin. It is unbelievable joy.

I imagine that no one in the building would have been able to breathe by the time Robin got done; they would have been laughing too hard.
Well said!
I cried too missing Robin being with the two of them Comic Relief was the best! 🥰🥰
Whoopie is so very gracious. What a beautiful human ❤
🖤✨⭐️
I grew up watching the three on television and in movies. Its nice to see them getting their dues.
Whoopi is one of the greats!! She, Billy, and Robin were the 3 amigos!! Absolutely funny!! I know this was a moment! Congratulations, Billie Crystal 👏
She hates Jews
💙💙💙
Absolutely. Whoopi, Robin and Billy are legends in comedy and acting. Absolute elite in entertainment

It warms my heart seeing Whoopi and Billy still honoring Robin to this day. I doubt a day goes by where they don’t miss him.
Comedy legends, all of them, each of them, in their own right. So grateful for laughter. So grateful for comedy, comedians and all things funny. Such a dull world it would be without laughs. 😊
