I think we all still get choked up when thinking about Robin. He is dearly missed by everyone.
I was just about to type the same thing. 😢
It's true. For multiple generations, when he died, it was like losing a beloved brother or uncle, in the most crushing way.
One consolation for me was reading about and his condition and realizing he did not pass the way he did out of feeling lonely or unloved....his brain and body were wracked with a very, very severe physical illness which, at that point, preventing him from thinking clearly for more than very short periods of time.
@@user-bs5cr1sd2i Do you actually not know anything about the circumstances?
Or are you just trolling?
Ditto!
@user-bs5cr1sd2i No need to be sarcastic.
But here's a question:
WHY do you think he died by suicide?
If Robin was still alive, he would also be happy seeing Billy receiving the honor.
They should also honor Robin posthumously. That would be awesome to see his children receive honors for him.
Doubtful.
the honor and jokes he would give Billy would be fun to watch
It’s 2024, I think we are all still grieving over the loss of Robin Williams. If only he knew just how much he was deeply loved by all. It’s breaks my heart that he saved so many people with laughs, but was struggling with his own darkness and I feel so guilty we didn’t save him when he needed saving the most.
Well said and same 😢💔😢🥺
He’s greatly missed, but he was killed by a disease (Lewy Body Dementia). His brain effectively turned on him. He wasn’t going to get saved by love and support. Obviously I wish he could have had a more peaceful passing with his family but he effectively had a death sentence and didn’t want to endure end stage dementia
I'm 32 and I tear up about him and Prince still
He was suffering with Lewy Body Dementia... it's the same disease actor like Bruce Willis , Charles Bronson, and Peter Falk... there are many more that have died from this illness and others still fighting... he couldn't help himself... all he could think about was how fast he was fading away from his memories and reality. He didn't want to die that way so he chose his own terms before his health got worse. When you're not in the right frame of mind tragedies like this with Robin Williams are far more likely to occur. Families need to keep a close eye out for them, like Bruce Willis's family... he is never left alone. I have no doubt that Robin would not have killed himself if not for that diagnoses. He was just getting his life back on track... he had been struggling with alcohol and pill addictions and had checked himself into a rehab just 2 months prior to killing himself. I think he wanted to live and he wanted to get himself the help he needed to regain control of his life until his diagnoses he was set to begin again.
Oh honey, I appreciate what you said, but he couldn’t have been saved. At autopsy, his brain was so riddled with the disease that the doctor said it was a wonder he could function at all. It wasn’t fair, and it wasn’t right, but it was the hand he was dealt. He was suffering, so he made it stop.
us older folks remember the trio. they were lovely together. I indeed miss Robin. the world is not the same without him.
So very true 💔
I'm 42 and I remember the trio
I agree. A comedic genius and genuinely kind man.
They did that Comic Relief thing together. Helped many homeless!
I'm 37 and I remember the trio.
Robin still gets me choked up. It’s hard to see his movies and I don’t get choked up over celebrities at all. He was a light that burnt out to fast.
Robin Williams was the man who was so busy making others happy, he didn’t have time to think of himself. It’s a bittersweet thing
Billy, Robin and Whoopi saved my life with Comic Relief. So much love 💞🤟
I still have an old VHS tape of the "Best of Comic Relief" that I cannot part with. The three of them were so amazing together.
Thats what it was called!! 😊I could not think of the name of it...
Comic relief should never be forgotten. What those three did for years was amazing. And they didn’t haven’t do it
@@tattoodude8946 *there are TWO things i´m not very good at ... i Almost NEVER understand a joke (or.jokes) and i´m not very good at (playing) games ... but i rEAlly dO believe that Whoopi loved Robin ..she also rEAlly loved Patrick.Swayze < Ricky*
I loved her in Ghost and Sister Act. But she can *iss off with that horrible thing called The View.
Many of us choke up thinking about Robin still as well. He made an impact on so many people’s lives.
Mork & Mindy, maaaaaaannnnn. Young ones today just don't know how good our t.v. shows used to be! ✌
Robin was a rare person. Still breaks my heart! Congratulations too Billy Crystal.
What a heartfelt tribute to Billy from Whoopi. I so, miss Robin, too. The 3 of them were an amazing trio of human beings/ performers. God Bless all of them.
Well said❤❤❤
Ditto
That was so touching for Whoppi to bring up the Robin❤.May he rest in peace and is truly missed.
Billy, Whoopi, and Robin were the Three Musketeers of Comedy.
How could she have not talked about Robin?! His absence was the elephant not in the room. His absence left a glaring hole in the proceedings. From the moment she stepped onto the stage I kept thinking "she better pay tribute to Robin, too". Robin, a great humanitarian is one of the top 3 comedians of all time.
Robin really brought the world alot of happiness, we should all be grateful he existed.
Whoopi, Billy & Robin Were A Great Team 👏🙏🏾!
European music gave us Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. The US gave us Billy Crystal, Robin Williams, and Whoopie Goldberg. ❤❤❤
Man, I just love Whoopi, Billy and Robin.
Never going to quite get past Robin's death. Not only that he went, but that he went in such a tragic way. He knew how much people loved him, but it still wasn't enough to overcome his illness. That just sucks so much. Such an unfair ending to such a good human being.
I cried with Whoopie. Robin Williams was one of those special people who always made you feel good by giving you a smile and a laugh. Robin will always be missed
Not only one of the funniest men ever; not only one of thegreatest improv artists ever, but also one of the most gifted dramatic actors the world has ever known. We will not see his like again.
I still cry over Robin ... he was the best... awesome and perfect
Loved Billy ,Robin and Whoopi back in the day.Billy is still amazing and really miss Robin. Congratulations Billy!
Robin may be gone from our sight for the moment.....but NEVER from our Heart...❤❤❤❤
Robin Williams used to go into comedy clubs half-disguised (baseball hat, full beard, dressed down), wait patiently after the show, and tell junior comics "You have something, you're really funny, keep going with it." A few have mentioned the confidence boost from Robin changed their life.
Robin, you are so missed and so loved by so many. Rest in peace dear man, I’d wager The Lord is laughing continually with you! 😂. What a gift you were and continue to be to this world…. And what a price you paid.
Robin, Whoopie and Billy were the Three Musketeers, their comedy together was legendry.
Hers was not.
I couldn't deal with it for a long when Robin passed away. I couldn't discuss it, read about it, talk about it. So on and so on. I'm from the same area as him and knew him as an acquaintance
before he became famous. He was a force even then. No one deserved fame amd the world's love more ❤
We love Whoopi. Why hasn't she received the Presidential medal? She's won every other award and broke so many barriers for both black and white folks.
Because she doesn’t cave to Hollywood’s bullshit lie they want.
People are too hard on Whoopi, she is a unique person. We should be proud of the unique.
@@stayaway7859 How is being a race baiting, anti-Semitic 'unique'
She has said some terrible things publicly.
Who hasn't? Post y2k everyone is horrid.
These guys Know the true meaning of friendship ❤️
Of all the celebrity passings in my lifetime, whether they were older and at peace and ready to go, or young and gone too soon, no one's death has stuck with me the way Robin's has. To this day I still from time to time am reminded of him, and still feel the grief like it was yesterday. For context, Im in my 30's. Disney's Aladdin was my first movie cinema film, Hook to this day is still my favourite film of all time, and I constantly quote the Birdcage just because. I'm not famous person but if my life were made a lifetime movie, he would've played my Dad. Looks and personality.
I speak for a lot us when I say, "I still miss Robin Williams."
To this day, I still shed a tear when something reminds me of him. He was so ever present when I was growing up, for context I'm 40, and it's like he became member of the family. I I think of all the things I quote, and I quote A LOT of things, I quote him the most, whether it's something from Aladdin, Mrs. Doubtfire, Hook, or even one of his stand ups, he is still present in my world to this day. I cried when I went to Disney during the fireworks because they projected Genie on the castle and while playing music from Aladdin, he's just ingrained in our lives. He is very missed by everyone who fell in love with him, because we did, from Mork and Mindy to Night at the Museum. I hope he rests peacefully and that he found his Neverland.
For me, it's Robin Williams and also Jim Henson. Unexpectedly hearing Kermit sing It's Not Easy Being Green or Rainbow Connection makes me cry nearly every single time. I have to prepare myself to watch Robin's movies or clips of Henson with Kermit.
Thank you for your words. they are powerful. I loved Robin in his serious roles Patch Adams; Good Will Hunting. All of them. He had a deep soul, which he shared with us.
My first experience with Robin was on "Happy Days" when he first played Mork, and I never laughed so hard before.
@@Ash-83same for me 😢 ❤💔
Thank you, Billy, Whoopi, & Robin. For those of us of that time, you made so many lives better. xx
It was a very powerful moment and a testament to the lve and friendship the three of them shared.
I really miss Robin Williams, he really was one of a kind also both a worldclass actor and stand up comedian, he could do anything.
Whoopi does not get emotional like this. Talking about Robin or Patrick Swayze and she will get emotional because of how much they did for her career. Swayze threatened to walk off Ghost if they did not cast her
Whoopi did not lose all that weight on her own she's like Al those other movie stairs ozempic shot
Just like Oprah telling every body she did it on her own then telling every body she did not do it on her own
@@paulastpeter1023 let me guess, you are fat and frustrated 🤣
@@paulastpeter1023eat a lemon you weirdo, that has nothing to do with the video
Now, more than ever, the humor and “comic relief” that our world needs is necessary. Robin is sorely missed, but thank goodness that we still have Billy and Whoopi, - and many other great comics to get us through these difficult times.
I don’t think I have ever laughed so hard as I have when watching Billy, Whoopie, and Robin working off of each other on stage. Their connection was perfection. I know Billy & Robin were very, very close, and I know Robin was indeed there in their hearts that night.
The love between Robin, Billy and Whoopi is timeless. They share such a beautiful special bond together....one that not many of us can say we share with others. Even with Robin gone, you can still feel the extreme love, respect and bond they all have for each other. They all worked well together and complimented each others talents immensely. There will never be another comedic 3 like they were. The love they shared for each other spilled over into the love they had for their charities and community work and every thing they stood for. An amazing Kinship that only a few can feel!!! REST IN PEACE ROBIN. YOU ARE GREATLY MISSED NOT ONLY BY WHOOPI AND BILLY BUT THE WORLD MOURNS YOUR PASSING AS WELL. WE LOST THE BEST WHEN WE LOST YOU. GOD BLESS YOU MAN!!!
Such an amazing tribute to Billy Crystal and from Whoopi. What a trio Billy, Woopi and Robin. Great memories of the 3 of them
FOREVERRRRRRRRRRR BLESSINGS on Billy and Whoopi and Robin ❤🧡💛💚💙💜‼‼‼
I can only imagine what they feel. For me, I know the world dimmed when Robin left us. Pain may have informed and inspired his comedy, but his comedy bright substantial light into the lives of those of us with mundane lives. I choke up thinking about people like Robin.
I have not seen her part of Billy's "Honor" ceremony, but I had the feeling she had to bring up Robin. What a trio.
Yeah, I still remember when Billy Crystal was on the view shortly after Robin's death, and they had such a hard time talking about him without breaking down, I just wanted to reach into the t.v. and be able to give them a hug. 🤗😔❤
Billy has gone on record saying that they'd talk to each other all the time and they talk to each other everyday before they each went to bed if my memory is right. so i think it was harder for Billy when he passed than it was for Whoopi
but maybe i'm wrong? i dunno how close those two were to be fair. i just know that from what Billy said about Robin after his death they were pretty much like Brothers in a sense.
@@rolandofgilead43 Yes, you're probably right, but on the view, they talked a lot about how the 3 of them did things together all the time, but I don't imagine it's always all three? They did comedy acts together.
@@idotgotitme3280 true and your probably right I had only heard what billy said not Whoopi.
@@rolandofgilead43 Yeah, when you look up this video in the search, it brings up other videos, like the one I mentioned on the view with just Whoopi and Billy.
Hearing Robin’s name in this context made me choke up. One of the greatest ever.
Robin is sorely missed. I watch Live at the met about twice a year. 😂 Still cracks 😂up.
That truly heart felt and made me cry
the 3 of them a forever braid of friendship
Billy is an international treasure. His humour has reached around the globe. Robin and Whoopi are equally his comedic peers who I’ve grown up with. Thank you to all three for your self-deprecating humour. 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ
I love all 3 of them together!
He's an international treasure for me.
Watch and Love these 3 for most of my life from outside the US.
robin was a hometown hero of sorts for me. he lived 20 minutes away my whole life so there was an immense pride and love we carried for him. im 51 and to this day, hearing his name makes me cry.
Billy crystal is looking pretty damn good
SHOCKED TO DISCOVER 'HE PASSED'. LOVELY TO SEE SUCH AN HOMAGE.
I live in SF. Robin is so loved here. He's like another patron Saint. Lovelovelove
Same! I've had so many almost getting to meet Robin Williams experiences. Three in my life and all in the Bay Area and I never actually got to see him and I even went to one of his houses when he had one just outside the confines of the Castro and he wasn't there that day. This was in the 80s. It sucks
People forget that Billy played one of the first openly gay characters on TV on Soap. He was always out on the edge, but not like a razor, but like the foam at the front of a wave.
I was just saying to my husband last night how much I missed seeing Robin Williams. He meant a lot to me as a very young child. How I cried like a child when he passed, and my husband did too. He was Mork from Ork for us. Then I was old enough to see his movies, all of them. He meant so much to the world.
I’m Australian but have always associated the three together. Maybe it was the time, maybe it was the humour, maybe it was the people themselves. I have been lucky to have seen each of them on stage. Two in San Francisco and one in Melbourne Australia. So grateful to have seen them and been allowed into their world. What a privilege❤❤❤
I think its just a part of all the little groups of friends or 'cliques' in hollywood. Certain actors hang out/work/ love others. Will Ferrel's group (think Zoolander, Anchorman and Old School cast, for example), or Anything Adam Sandler does, he just wanted to make funny movies with his friends.
I like to think Billy, Robin and Whoopi were some of the OGs :)
@@KPS2311that I also agree.. It's magical when comedians join forces. Like the former Kings of Comedy. Now imagine? Dave Chappelle Kevin Hart and Chris Rock? That would be something to behold on one stage. 😮😮
😢 We all miss Robin 😔❤
I sure miss Robin, nice tears remembering him.
Shout out to the late:great Gregory Hines
Beautiful and so sweet to pay tribute to the great Robin Williams 💗💗💗💗💗
It's wonderful and amazing that These People really made such a Powerful Difference in All our lives! 🎉❤
I. miss Robin Williams.......she made me cry... I'm 62 i crew up with them
I just lost a close friend, like a brother to me. I chose to appreciate the time we had together versus the time we lost. I am blessed to have him in my life, rather than regret the missed opportunities. Godspeed Robin and my friend.
Talk about friendship I love that they’re so close Billy Robin and Whoopi love them all very much rest in peace Robin you are missed and loved by the whole world
Whoopi is one of my favorite people, along with Robin & Billy. This really touched my heart. Robin was there, right beside Whoopi. ❤
These three super entertainers brought joy and smiles to so many people, and I am sure that their comedy helped many people dig themselves out of depression. It’s a shame that there was no one person who could help Robin climb out of the debilitating, unyielding hole of depression. The “depressive hole can certainly overwhelm even a strong person!
I miss him a lot, he was one of my favorites, always made me laugh and smile. His smile lit up a room..
Congrats Billy Crystal Man the memories of Comic Relief R.I.P Robin Williams ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
There will never be another Robin Williams. So glad to have been raised on his work!
I also am one who misses Robin. I didn't know how much until watching this. I reacted the same as Billy did, and I am just a part of the audience. I'm also of the same age as they are, and understand (a bit) the pressures of life during those times. Add to it the pressures of fame and fortune. Rest in Peace, Robin. Congrats, Billy. Thank you, Whoopie, thank you, thank you.
Billy looks great!! So does Meg ❤
Billy's an international treasure, they are all the greats!!!!
Great clip, and great they mentioned Robin Williams. Life is not easy
Omg!! This had me in tears 😢. I remember how all 3 of them were together at awards shows, & when I heard that Robin Williams had died, I felt like a family had died. Thank you for posting this!! N Congratulations to Billy Crystal, you are absolutely a true legend!!
Love Billy Crystal. Robin Williams death was the only celebrity death that brought me to tears.
I miss Robin so much. That energy bro never can be duplicated
Their Comic Relief specials are still hilarious, Robin was a special human, I’m glad we had him as long as we did. ❤
Sometimes words are too much. Oftentimes, words are not enough. 💝
Goes to show behind all the glitz and glam there are many genuinely lovely people 😊
Satan loves these people
I shouldn’t have clicked. I knew I would cry. So sorry for Robin’s suffering and the inevitable grief and loss that won’t ever go away.💜
Like Billy and Whoopie, I think Robin Williams is the missing piece of their puzzle (I'm in tears lol). God bless Robin, Billy and Whoopie♥️♥️♥️🙏✝️✌️😎
Thank You!!!!
I just watched the clip from Comic Relief of Mr. Crystal, Ms. Goldberg, Mr. Williams all getting absolutely roasted by Don Rickles.
It's an amazing feeling to laugh like that.
I cried quite a lot when Robin died, and all the while? WHY are you crying? you never met him, you didn't know him...but really? We knew his comedy, we knew his quirkiness, we knew his brilliance. Didn't we know him? He gave us an introduction to aliens, a way to accept lgbtq+ and laugh about it, and his drag queen stint on Mrs. Doubtfire was just friggin brilliant. A classic! Never mind the heartfelt and poignant Good Morning, Vietnam and Poets society and so much more. Captain, my Captain...rest in peace.
Truly classy of Whoopi to acknowledge Robin here. ❤️
I think robin was there❤
Billy Crystal is one of those genius, live-wire minds that can host a show and improvise. Always loved him. I don't think I'll almost come to tears when he dies like do with Robin. Robin's energy and genius can't be replaced, ever.
I'm in tears laughing at the quick clip of Billy telling Robin to stop it !
I had tears in my eyes during Whoopi’s speech. I can remember the three of them together. They were very much a family. ❤❤❤
They've been best of friends since the small comedy clubs. They all deserve an award.
It’s crazy how there are people that we never even said “hello” to and yet we still think of them years after they’ve passed🤔
There are so many people that I wish I could see their expressions or hear what they think about this or that. But they’re gone💝
And you know what’s really crazy?
Sometimes I cry when I catch the sound of my own voice sounding like my mother who is no longer here😭😔💐💐
AnyWho… Congratulations to Billy Crystal! I’ve always liked him and glad to see him getting his flowers💐💐💐
Those 3 Geniuses have brought so much to this Human Race words cannot express it all...the loss of Robin still stings...it always will, but their bond will never be severed and we will cherish Billy and Whoopi for as long as we have them with us. 💞 #Robin RIH
I was sitting my house one day thinking, I’ve got to one day meet my favorite comedian of all time. Mr robin Williams, the very next day he passed away. I get emotional when I think of him, remembering the characters he played. His spontaneity. His rapid fire humor always kept me in stitches, I loved everything he did . From Mork and Mindy to dead poets society, robin was truly the best of the best, and I know this video is about ol billy whom I’ve loved since his days on soap. But just hearing robin’s name, does to me what it does to both whoppie and billy 😢
Those three were inseparable. They were epic together, and I truly miss their brother too.
She did great and I love her!
I guess you’ve never seen her on The View.
Sir, you are spot on in everything you said here. Robin tugs at the public's heartstrings, so I can only imagine how he affects his close friends Billy and Whoopi.
Congratulations Billy ❤ You deserve it. Love You
❤
Love You Whoopi❤
9 years and yet it feels like it just happened. The world got a little darker that day. The light Robin Williams brought will always be missed.
I think you covered that very well. We all miss Robin. I can only imagine how painful it is for those who were closest to him.
The measure of a person is how often and for how long they are spoken of after their passing.
