Back in the late 70's, during his Mork and Mindy run, he released some stand up LP's, as he began to loath his Mork character. I was a boy but remember there was a darkness of subject of New York and now see it for what it was. RIP RW

      Johnny always has a special knack for treating his guests right. It's his name on the show but when a guest comes on Johnny leads the guest and does not take over. The last one to do this was Conan. And both of them had the greatest sidekicks. Ed & Andy knew how to help out when help is needed and do it without making the host look bad.

    Carson was such an incredible host - didn't mind letting special guests steal the spotlight and run with it. Johnny was a great listener, and gave the conversation room to breathe. What a unique talent. And Robin Williams- the hero of my life. I wrote Mr. Williams a fan letter when I was in second grade, and got a signed Mork poster in return which I cherished for years.

    I was in saigon, Vietnam about a month after he died. I was in a restaurant and they had tv's around the place and there was what appeared to be a news program on and his picture came up and they were obviously talking about his death. The whole place got quiet and everyone was watching and listening to it. He was/ is loved in Vietnam because of how he helped portray the vietnamese way of life in Good Morning. They all told me they appreciated the accuracy in how the movie portrayed their culture. They really see him as a hero. I was very surprised by this.

One year we were at lunch, I had to give a demo of a new game and just casually asked if he would give the demo. He didn't hesitate and said yes. Any other Hollywood celebrity would require you talk to their agent or lawyer and spend weeks negotiating over it. But Robin was the kind of guy that didn't think that way. 20 minutes later he was onstage giving the demo simply because I asked him to.

    Two of the biggest icons there will ever be in television. Johnny launched so many careers. He didn't have his people go out to look for new talent, he actually went out himself and invited comedians to be on his show. I've never heard of anyone else ever doing that. You ask any comedian of the 70s or 80s where their career really took off and the will say it was after a Tonight Show appearance.There will never been another Johnny Carson.

      I'm glad you said, "It's not always funny." I thought I was the only one who thought that. I didn't realise how close the line between ad hoc comic genius and madness was until I saw Williams here. Having not seen the 'interview' (if it could be called that) before, I at once felt great jealousy but also, great pity. I was immediately reminded of a description David Cassidy in his book gave of his father right before madness overtook him towards the end of his life and just before a suicide attempt:
      "And now my father got into the role of being our host. He'd stand up, he'd sit down - the nonstop talker, the entertainer, going, 'And if you think that's fun, wait till you hear this.' I mean, he was really ON. He usually seemed sort of over the top anyway, but this was different. He was way over. There was some little glint in his eyes that seemed to say, not 'I'm having fun tonight' but something more like 'I'm just a little bit twisted'. Like something was frying in him."
      I have little doubt Williams was assisted by a substance because the amount of energy to drive him like that could not be supplied by a normal psyche. Too much light, not enough shade, ie. him sitting down and talking about his life - the routine is physically wearing to watch.
      Nowadays, of course, he could not get away with half the stuff he spoke about because of the PC brigade, so every second word would be f*ck instead. At least we were spared that.

    You can tell Johnny really liked him! So great. Rest in sweet peace Robin Williams. You are missed.

    I just love this man. These appearances he made on the countless talk shows throughout his whole career were my favorite thing to watch. I was always excited to hear he was a guest somewhere and I'd just laugh my arse off. He helped me feel happy and good and free from anxiety and depression. I hate that he has left us but I treasure him always and am so thankful of all the material he left behind to keep us entertained for the rest of our lives! ❤

    7:12 All these years and I never knew he could make his voice like that.
    I've heard tons and tons and tons of voices come out of Robin Williams... and that one threw me for a second. 😄💙

    Never heard Johnny laugh quite this hard. Robin was a comedic/thespian genius.

    I am so glad I grew up with Robin Williams from Mork and Mindy to Fisher King, he was brilliant even when he made us all cry. Thank you Robin!
