I'm here in 2024, laughing through tears because I miss Mr. Williams, and I miss Craig's show. We will never have this kind of common experience again.
Someone already commented this years ago: Whenever Robin entered a talkshow he basically dominated it. Craig was the only host who could actually keep up with him. I found this comment most accurate and its a compliment for both of them. They were such a perfect duo and this footage is a treasure..
A friend of mine was a dead ringer for Robin Williams. Shortly after Williams passed my friend came down with ALS and took the same path as Robin before he became a total invalid. It’s been two years and I still can’t wrap my head around it.
Some have suggested others who could come close to keeping up with Robin but I have a couple not yet mentioned. I once saw a comedy special with Robin, Billy Crystal and the incomparable Dudley Moore. Once Dudley found his stride in that show Robin sat down, Billy as well and both of them laughed so hard they could hardly breathe. We seldom if ever got to see Dudley 'let it go' but he was absolutely brilliant. RIP Robin and Dudley.
Some people are just naturally funny and a lot of times those people do not mix well, but every now and then you get a great comedic duo or trio, ect. Its a shame these 2 didnt do more work together. You can tell in Robins laugh that he genuinely finds Craig funny. One has the original idea and the other rubber bands off it and its back and forth and its a snowball effect.
The mutual admiration for each other is clear. Craig was one of the few that could keep up with Robin. You see it when Robin genuinely laughs at Craig’s jokes. RIP Robin. The world misses you.
It's a shame we were so infatuated with him we couldn't see his cries for help! He was and is a master of his craft! If he had and equal he could talk to he might still be alive today. So ahead of his time we never saw it coming. Lost a good freind of mine when he was 16. The only other person that could make me laugh till my gut hurt...😢 I wish I could have been there for you....
I don’t know that he’d be alive today. He’d been diagnosed with Parkinson’s but *knew* there was something else going on, he knew he was behaving in ways that were odd, even for him. He wanted to spare his family from finding out ‘what else’ might be wrong. As sad as i am that he’s gone…and STILL thinking it’s a bad dream…..i admire him that he controlled how he died, rather than allowing how he died to control his/anyone else’s lives.@@michaelbarnes6017
My late wife and I were at the airdate 10/16/13 show. Second to last couple to get in. When we booked the tickets, there was no guest listed. Definitely wasn't expecting an entire episode with just Robin and Craig. Was an amazing show, and an experience I'm incredibly grateful to have gotten to share with her before I lost her and we all lost him.
I wonder if he knew the magnitude of how much love people had 4 hiim Not just because he made us laugh … because of he himself. Thank you Robin for all of you and thank you God for sharing him with us, but only for a short time. It wasn’t long enough . Wish you were here
I think one of the reasons I love him so much is that I understood his mind and was always in awe of it. He was a beautiful soul and I miss him every day.
The speed at which Robin could go in and out of character is mind-blowing. Very few people could ever do this consistently and pull it off everytime! His mind worked like no other! Legendary
I have suffered from severe insomnia since I was a teenager and absolutely loved watching this show. Miss Robin so much. Was devastated to learn about his real diagnosis.
@@st0rmforce Definitely the most underrated show on television. Conan had some great moments but Craig was a guaranteed laugh. It's a damn shame we don't have real late shows anymore.
@@robertandhollyscorpiofan2697wrong. I’m Asian. Only in my 20s and I only watch people like Johnny Carson, Robin Williams, Johnathan Winters, Don Rickles, Rodney Dangerfield, and everybody else on the Dean Martin Roasts!!
I think this was the greatest comedy team that never happened. The Way they feed off each other is absolutely insane. Love these guys. Robin we missy you.
ROBIN WAS THE FUNNIET MAN I HAVE EVER WATCHED. HOW MANY REMEMBER THE FARMER RELIEF SHOWS. ROBIN PRETEND TO BE BA BBET PENIS IN THE WOODS AFTER HIS WIFE CUT IT OFF. ROBIN WAS SPEAKING FOR THE PENIS IN THE THE WOODS. I JUST GOT HOME From a NURING SHIFT. HE WAS THE funniest man and I miss him . MY HEART WAS BROKEN. HE CAN NOT BE REPLACED IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER. I was mad at him and I still weep for. Him and ZELDA. He loved his family so much.
When “Mork and Mindi” was on he hosted a dinner at a nice restaurant in Boulder CO where I worked as a waitress. He was exactly the same as this show. So nice AND a very good tipper. A national treasure.
A man that would light up a room with laughter, one of the greatest comedians ever, and just an absolute gentleman. He did so much for the world, sadly we weren't able to do the same for him. You'll be missed Robin Williams. Sincerely thank you for everything you gave us
Robin had dewey dementia, you can live up to 6 years but in my experience with a family member it was 1 year, horrible to watch a person lose who they are and then lose body control before dying. Its unimaginably terribly difficult to watch a loved one die from this. Had he not did that he'd been gone soon , he didn't want that who can blame him.
@@chickenman7801how can "some people" be so heartless, cruel and mentally cursed? Let us compassionate ones pray and try try, try to speak love and spread peace to the best of our ability. J. God bless you.
I firmly believe that Robin Williams was the only guy that could easily and deliberately offend anyone he wanted in the world and the same person would invite him back for another fun time.
The best thing about robin he has no chill he’ll stretch the joke to its furthest extent and keep the crowd alive one of the most brilliant men to live in comedy
Robin Williams has a great laugh and I don't think I'd ever heard it until now. The chemistry between Ferguson and him was kinetic, almost electrical, and so authentic. The 🌎 misses you. RIP
Robin Williams always stayed in character, almost no one knew the real Robin, the person inside. Robin didn't like the real person inside, therefore he was always "on". He was a manic and he stayed in his mania while in public. Pretty sad life. He never made me laugh, I just didn't enjoy the confusing chaos but I have respect for how far he got in his field and he was a phenomenal and under-rated drama actor.
You're right, but I think that Craig is the only 'host' that could keep up with the genius. Others just... basically were sitting there and laugh. Why he didn't get a.... I don't know, The Tonight Show, is still a mystery to me.
These two riffing together. . . it's an improv seminar. . . it's like they're not on a show, but in the back end of a bar, or sitting in the backyard at the most amazing party in history. This wild genius forces Craig to play an actual late night host. "I love it when you're here. I can relax." Rest in Peace
Craig is one of the few chat show hosts who could keep up with the speed of Robin Williams! The way the two could feed off each other's humour was unique and wonderful.
Craig is the best talk show host ever. Literally everything about a talk show is disregarded. Nothing plugged. Nothing normal. He had a genius symbiotic relationship with all his guests. A one off. Absolute genius.
I miss his show. No tonight shows compare to his old show. He needs to come back land bring late night shows back to life!! Give the current ones a run for their money!!
Craig's the only host that can cognitively keep up with Robin and feed his funny bone at the same time. The kinetic energy here is exhaustingly funny and nearly overwhelming. They're both one of a kind.
I've never heard Robin Williams laugh until now. He spent all his life making us laugh but thanks to Craig the legend was genuinely laughing and having great time. We all miss him
I don't think I had ever heard Robin Williams laughing out loud before. I even had to rewind the video to see who's laugh that was because I was so surprised that he actually laughed. We're so used to having him making everyone else laugh, but Craig was one of the few people who could make him genuinely laugh as well. Goes to show how amazing Craig was. Miss both of these guys. Edit: Craig correctly says that Robin is a master at improvisational comedy, but this video made me realise that Craig is a master of improv as well. Robin's was more focused on coming up with good jokes, and a lot of the times used the same type of set-up, or start, middle, or finish to a joke. Craig's type of improv I feel is much more useful to the every day man who is not a world renowned comedian, which is to be good at improvising conversation and jokes in a way that makes you appear charming, confident, and strong. Craig does not get the credit he deserves he was by far the best talk-show host ever. Just watching him have a conversation with his guests is like taking a masterclass in flirting and being social, he was truly amazing.
I agree totally, good eye/ear. If anyone disagrees, look at his amazing interviews with Shirley Manson from Garbage. The sexual chemistry runs real strong there too! Easily as enjoyable as this
Watching all Johnny Carson clips, kind of the classic innuendo and having that threes company style misinterpretation and everything having a sexual undertone or reference seem to run popular in the late 70s early 80s and I think Craig personifies that type of humor were knowing his personality. Any comment that someone makes that could be taken one way or another 95% of the time he goes for it Scarlett Johansson had him set up a couple times where he could hit a home run based on what she said, but he refrained out of charming charisma. He also is the master of switching topics when it gets a little too deep or too many jokes running that are sexual nature so that way it is more flirty and fun versus being a creep or predatory.
In my opinion there has never been, or ever will there be another man with the ability to match the comedic genius that was Robin Williams. He had a special kind of magic and truly funny bones.
IKR? and when Craig asked "Did you actually say 'Chlamydia, you're dad's here?' that Robin would say 'Yes...5 minutes ago!' RIP Robin, gone but NEVER forgotten.
What makes Robin Williams so great is the fact he didn't even have to do Craig's show. He could have just done Letterman or Leno and called it a day, but instead chose Craig because he's a genuine fan of him. Not many celebrities like him these days or ever..
The chemistry, and their mutual admiration gets me every time. Carson was a huge fan of him too. All the smart hosts were. You simply realize genius when it appears.
@@audreymai2773 even better, I was in the audience once. They were amazing. I was doing some project for HBO. Normally I didn't go to comedy shows (everyone smoked non-stop, still shy away from comedy clubs). I got to meet Williams several times. He bought one of my products, a bike training system. He asked me if it would help him get faster. I told he could cut his drag 6% if simply shaved. He burst out laughing. That, made my day. He was a really hairy guy LOL.
I agree and Robin is one of the first guests that kept Craig on his toes! It’s usually the other way 😆! They would’ve made a dynamite duo just free-styling conversations!
This is what happens when real friends get together. They just happen to be in front of others. We get to laugh and receive the enjoyment. So sad that Robin didn't choose a different way of dealing with his issues. He was an amazing person and a remarkable comedian. Very missed. Peace and Love to all! Stay safe.
I think this is the first time I ever heard Robin cracking up - normally he is always making others laugh but Craig got in a few good ones that got Robin chortling and cackling like I've never heard. This was awesome.
@@kelleewolfe2834 Kind of sad, isn't it? He spent so many years making us laugh we never stopped to notice his laughter (or lack thereof)... Oh sure, he had those breathy little exhale laughs accompanied by the big grin, but those were usually either while in-character, or while he was doing his act on stage (when he was "on") - rarely his own genuine laughter like we see here. I would dare say we took him for granted... along with many others...
@@ericbrezosky3720 I don't know, people still like very dirty comedy, like for example my parents love like the Andrew Schulz type humor. There's a difference between improv comedy and cancel culture.
Agreed but I don't think hed be allowed to host a night show the way he was. I hope I'm wrong. Comedy shouldn't offend anyone. And if it does... fuck em.
Robin Willaims gave so much entertainment. No matter when, where, and who he was with. If there was a crowd or a camera, he would do his magic. He will always be remembered and remembered by many. He will never forgotten. I like to think of his voice and attics being forever echoing in time...and of course Jonathan Winters with him.
Andy Kaufman was another actor/comedian who was brilliant, although nobody measures up to Robin Williams IMHO. Robin was also a good dramatic actor. One of my favorite movies he made with Robert De Niro was "Awakenings." I also loved "The Fisher King."
I just found this video in 2024 it's amazing honestly I'm trying to see if I can tell when he gets depressed and tbh it seems after the first "interview" he seemed to be more putting a act on them just being himself either way he is a legend and I miss his comedy a lot as well as him obviously😂 not just his comedy
The LBD misdiagnosis and Parkinson's shredded his brain....he knew he wasn't the same GENIUS, and Craig bouncing off him with their private jokes Phenomenal
As a Glaswegian, this is pure Scottish comedy gold! Williams with his brilliant off the wall comedy that was simply genius and lighting fast. R.I.P. Mr Williams, you are so dearly missed and the world is sadly worse off without you.
We got to see Robin on tour. It’s the hardest I’ve ever laughed. No exaggeration. This man radiated pure warmth & joy. I truly hope he’s found some of that for himself now.
To be fair though, it wasn't Craig's job to keep up with him, (and of course nobody ever could) Craig worked seamlessly and effortlessly during that interview. A joy to watch.
devildozer: I came upon this hour-long video of Robin’s appearances on Craig’s show and have had to take breaks in between them to regain my composure. My stomach hurts from laughing!!
The best thing about this genius man is that.. I got to enjoy watching him in Aladdin and Mrs. Doubtfire as a kid.. and then enjoying his no-hold-bars comedy specials as an adult. You are missed Robin Williams. 🙏
That's how Craig did his show. It was the best show on late night. I wish he was still here. I'd throw them all away for an hour with Craig doing anything.
@@frankystrings nah those talk shows are about gossip usually. These guys feel like they are having a private conversation and just happen to be in front of an audience
HAHA YES. At 17:15 Craig couldn't catch Robin fast enough, didn't see where he was going. From 17:15 until 18:01 Craig just hides behind his cup while Robin just goes on and on digging deeper into the hole LOL
Watching real comedy after long time, thanks for this amazing compilation, the speed of their brain to come up with that stuff just boggles my mind😵💫😵💫
What I love the most is how Robin is so willing and ready to laugh at all of Craig's jokes. A true comedian is always interested in humor. I love how they crack each other up.
You know you have game when you can make Robin laugh. I have never seen two people in the entertainment business who were so perfect for each other. Robin and Craig were the Dynamic Duo of comedy. I miss him terribly.
I love coming to UA-cam and watch old Robin Williams videos and read the comments,all of them are nice and polite or nostalgic. Makes me briefly return the faith in decent mankind,especially online. Robin is greatly missed.Love him.
@@selmajovanov2802 With this medium, I pray we get along well at our convenience, as I don't want to be seen as a superstar but as a commoner in the society.
Craig and Robin are both next level individually but with Craig's "no format" format Robin got to be his spontaneous best and that seemed to really bring out Craig's "A" game. It was a real treat to watch them riff off each other!
Seriously, my belly is sore from the laughing. I’ve never watched this before. Watching Robin Williams laugh out loud has been the best of presents. It only takes a Scot.. Mr Ferguson, you are magic. Thank you. Scottish, but feck me, born in Northern Ireland. Thankfully I believe that the other humans in the world actually appreciate a proper sense of humour.
Two of my favs ever! 💕 My heart aches when I think of the loss of Robin, but so grateful to have wonderful footage like this forever. Craig is the BEST! Awesome comedy on stage. 😂
I come back to this again, and again, and again, and again. Funniest back-to-back appearances compilation out there, period. It's so awesome to see how neither of them has to try to keep up with the other, they're just continually upping the ante in making themselves and each other laugh. Not sure I've seen Robin laugh this much anywhere. This is an hour of footage I treasure deeply.
Some Christians say they've been revealed by God that Robin Williams is being tortured in hell without rest. God helps us, life is a comedy and a tragedy.
@@ChubbyTeletubby Haha! I loved him in RV, Flubber, Hook,Popeye and Mrs. Doubtfire. In High School a guy would always say I looked like Robin Williams.
I bet Craig was heart broken by Robins passing, I mean we all are, but it's clear that they had a special chemistry and respect for one another, and they had many great moments through the years together. Craig what a blessing it was for you to have met Robin. 💔
Robin Williams is so admirable. He dealt with so much pain but made it his top priority to distract others from theirs. He even references it during the first interview in his French accent... "What is a comedy but a series of painful events..."
16:59 Probably the most genuine real laugh I've ever heard out of him. You don't see someone hiding so much pain. He had this beautiful outburst of laughter in that moment and that's how I want to remember him.

Just effortless for Craig. And Robin makes it easier 👍
I was just thinking that, they work soooo good together. 5⭐
They work well together but nobody, absolutely no one, can keep up with Robin.
And this is actually slow for Williams. He told twice as many jokes per minute in the '90s.
@@vezquex exactly! In his prime, no one could keep up with him. Maybe Jonathan Winters but that's it.

I wouldn't survive 1 minute in his head! Honestly when he died, he took the best of comedy with him. RIP Robin. We miss you.
Yes, I think the same. Robin was a hero to hold out all that much. It was a madhouse inside his head.

I wouldn't say "force" him to. They were friends. That was Craig's approach to the show. :)
Craig is one of the few chat show hosts who could keep up with the speed of Robin Williams! The way the two could feed off each other's humour was unique and wonderful.
I’m an old lady of 87 and I loved this video, this is real humour. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your 3D Vagina, Mollie.
You ain’t old, you are my sister.
Craig is the best talk show host ever. Literally everything about a talk show is disregarded. Nothing plugged. Nothing normal. He had a genius symbiotic relationship with all his guests. A one off. Absolute genius.
I miss his show. No tonight shows compare to his old show. He needs to come back land bring late night shows back to life!! Give the current ones a run for their money!!
Craig's the only host that can cognitively keep up with Robin and feed his funny bone at the same time. The kinetic energy here is exhaustingly funny and nearly overwhelming. They're both one of a kind.
Honestly you are so right, most people would just nod and make a few comments
@@monkeybandit222 Imagine if they were both still on coke during this interview.
@@craigchastain7016 I think it might affect Craig but Robin would just be the same, maybe a bit more crazy than usual.
Miss these guys 👦 😢
Nobody kept up with Robin Williams not even Robin Williams 🤣
I swear Craig and Robin shared some comedic DNA - the way they fed off each other was amazing,
There will never be anybody that was as pure and golden as Robin Williams. The world misses you terribly, ya crazy loving bastard!!😂❤❤❤
There were comedians, and then there was Robin Williams. It's amazing how fast he could change the subject, and how smooth his transitions were.
I've never heard Robin Williams laugh until now. He spent all his life making us laugh but thanks to Craig the legend was genuinely laughing and having great time.
We all miss him
I don't think I had ever heard Robin Williams laughing out loud before. I even had to rewind the video to see who's laugh that was because I was so surprised that he actually laughed. We're so used to having him making everyone else laugh, but Craig was one of the few people who could make him genuinely laugh as well. Goes to show how amazing Craig was. Miss both of these guys.
Edit: Craig correctly says that Robin is a master at improvisational comedy, but this video made me realise that Craig is a master of improv as well. Robin's was more focused on coming up with good jokes, and a lot of the times used the same type of set-up, or start, middle, or finish to a joke. Craig's type of improv I feel is much more useful to the every day man who is not a world renowned comedian, which is to be good at improvising conversation and jokes in a way that makes you appear charming, confident, and strong. Craig does not get the credit he deserves he was by far the best talk-show host ever. Just watching him have a conversation with his guests is like taking a masterclass in flirting and being social, he was truly amazing.
I agree totally, good eye/ear.
If anyone disagrees, look at his amazing interviews with Shirley Manson from Garbage. The sexual chemistry runs real strong there too! Easily as enjoyable as this
I agree, he loved Craig. Craig was almost as quick and he loved it!
@@richardlindell9976
I agree totally....they were right there for
each other....They would’ve been GREAT in concert together!!
So true. Those we're authentic laughs. Not forced at all.
He loved Craig.
Watching all Johnny Carson clips, kind of the classic innuendo and having that threes company style misinterpretation and everything having a sexual undertone or reference seem to run popular in the late 70s early 80s and I think Craig personifies that type of humor were knowing his personality. Any comment that someone makes that could be taken one way or another 95% of the time he goes for it Scarlett Johansson had him set up a couple times where he could hit a home run based on what she said, but he refrained out of charming charisma. He also is the master of switching topics when it gets a little too deep or too many jokes running that are sexual nature so that way it is more flirty and fun versus being a creep or predatory.
In my opinion there has never been, or ever will there be another man with the ability to match the comedic genius that was Robin Williams. He had a special kind of magic and truly funny bones.
NOTHING is better than seeing brilliant comedians convulsed with helpless laughter by other brilliant comedians!
I'm forever in love with the notion that Craig went back in time several minutes to be amazed at the "Chlamydia, your Dad is here" comment
I have to agree! Him acknowledging that slam dunk from Robin was a slam dunk itself!
Yeah why did it take him so long?
IKR? and when Craig asked "Did you actually say 'Chlamydia, you're dad's here?' that Robin would say 'Yes...5 minutes ago!' RIP Robin, gone but NEVER forgotten.
Omg these are 2 grown men making me laugh SO HARD & I can't STOP !!❤😂❤😂
This world has not been the same since Robin Williams passing. It's been 8 years already. What an amazing talent.
Okay still watching in 2023 and he's still the funniest ! kills me everytime!
@@julierundlett2736 yes me to on Sunday June 4 2023 856am
This has been the best 2+ hours I've spent in weeks. I laughed nonstop and I will continue to look for comedy gold on UA-cam.
What makes Robin Williams so great is the fact he didn't even have to do Craig's show. He could have just done Letterman or Leno and called it a day, but instead chose Craig because he's a genuine fan of him. Not many celebrities like him these days or ever..
Perhaps Craig reached an arrangment with the network to allow Robin a long leash, and Robin couldn't resist.
@@Michael-xe3dn long leash? Mans was unleashed, the way he belly laughed, never seen him laugh like that, ever.
this episode is basically the epitome of the expression "an unstoppable force meets an unmovable obstacle"

The chemistry, and their mutual admiration gets me every time.
Carson was a huge fan of him too. All the smart hosts were. You simply realize genius when it appears.
Who is still watching in 2024 and wishing Robin was still alive to brighten the world up?
If one of our elected representatives used their floor speech and said, "Chlamydia, your dad's here", I'd need so much Charmin.
I do....completely!!!!
I do
I do to!
I'M THERE WITH YOU 100%
I like how they literally talk about nothing in particular but I am completely entertained.
Rare to see Robin 'really' laugh, Ferguson is one of the rare people that is both fast enough and smart enough to do so.
Have you watched Robin and John Ridder together?
@@audreymai2773 even better, I was in the audience once. They were amazing. I was doing some project for HBO. Normally I didn't go to comedy shows (everyone smoked non-stop, still shy away from comedy clubs). I got to meet Williams several times. He bought one of my products, a bike training system. He asked me if it would help him get faster. I told he could cut his drag 6% if simply shaved. He burst out laughing. That, made my day. He was a really hairy guy LOL.
Love them both, watching till I laugh while crying! So witty and on the spot! RIP Robin🥺✌🏼
I agree and Robin is one of the first guests that kept Craig on his toes! It’s usually the other way 😆! They would’ve made a dynamite duo just free-styling conversations!
This is what happens when real friends get together. They just happen to be in front of others. We get to laugh and receive the enjoyment. So sad that Robin didn't choose a different way of dealing with his issues. He was an amazing person and a remarkable comedian. Very missed. Peace and Love to all! Stay safe.
I could easily spend a whole day just listening to these two talking to each other...
Brothers from different mother's.....yup.
Totally
Absolutely miss this legend I was a little girl watching Mork n mindy ❤️ depression is a horrible disease I wish he could have gotten help 🙄🙏🙏
These 2 together are gold!!! Craig is as close to his equal as anyone could be.
I’ll argue for Jonathan Winters.
I think this is the first time I ever heard Robin cracking up - normally he is always making others laugh but Craig got in a few good ones that got Robin chortling and cackling like I've never heard. This was awesome.
Yes, especially at 17:00.
I was thinking that too!
@@kelleewolfe2834
Kind of sad, isn't it? He spent so many years making us laugh we never stopped to notice his laughter (or lack thereof)... Oh sure, he had those breathy little exhale laughs accompanied by the big grin, but those were usually either while in-character, or while he was doing his act on stage (when he was "on") - rarely his own genuine laughter like we see here. I would dare say we took him for granted... along with many others...
50:20 another good laugh
@@BlackieNuff .
Can't understand why Craig Ferguson went off the air. He's funnier than all the Late Night show hosts combined
I agree; but he wanted to leave and do other projects, and the studio kept upping his contract.
And I think he wanted time for his family
No way he'd still be on the air now anyway. He'd offend too many people.
@@ericbrezosky3720 I don't know, people still like very dirty comedy, like for example my parents love like the Andrew Schulz type humor.
There's a difference between improv comedy and cancel culture.
Agreed but I don't think hed be allowed to host a night show the way he was. I hope I'm wrong. Comedy shouldn't offend anyone. And if it does... fuck em.
I miss Robin Williams so much... Craig needs to come back to Late Night. Best Show Ever.
I'm watching this again..I lost count at how many times I've watched this and it never gets old
Yep, same here
Robin Williams was one of the few of the "Hollywood-types" I ever really mourned. I was heartbroken when he left us 💔
Me too
Robin and now Meatloaf. The only two.
Robin Willaims gave so much entertainment. No matter when, where, and who he was with. If there was a crowd or a camera, he would do his magic.
He will always be remembered and remembered by many. He will never forgotten. I like to think of his voice and attics being forever echoing in time...and of course Jonathan Winters with him.
Andy Kaufman was another actor/comedian who was brilliant, although nobody measures up to Robin Williams IMHO. Robin was also a good dramatic actor. One of my favorite movies he made with Robert De Niro was "Awakenings." I also loved "The Fisher King."
George Carlin. Naw, he wasn't really Hollywood type.
I can never get enough of this. Robin was a genius and so was Craig on this show.
Robin Williams was the greatest guy !!!
I truly wish he were to continue making our world shine. You are loved and missed Robin 💟
Seeing Craig gasping for air, trying to speak makes my day every time ! Robin truly was brilliant !
Anyone watching this in 2023!
Love these guys. RIP RW🙏🏼
I just found this video in 2024 it's amazing honestly I'm trying to see if I can tell when he gets depressed and tbh it seems after the first "interview" he seemed to be more putting a act on them just being himself either way he is a legend and I miss his comedy a lot as well as him obviously😂 not just his comedy
The LBD misdiagnosis and Parkinson's shredded his brain....he knew he wasn't the same
GENIUS, and Craig bouncing off him with their private jokes
Phenomenal
The fact that Craig Ferguson had to directly tell Robin Williams, not to tell a certain Scottish joke, is pure gold.
I wonder what the joke was
@Dex 4:59 👍
The one about the invention of golf?
The one that ended, "Wash up, I'm through."
The world was a better place with Robin in it, miss him so much
Same 😥

Great chemistry! It’s nice to see Robin having a real laugh. You can tell they had a good frienship. Good times :)
As a Glaswegian, this is pure Scottish comedy gold! Williams with his brilliant off the wall comedy that was simply genius and lighting fast. R.I.P. Mr Williams, you are so dearly missed and the world is sadly worse off without you.
Their chemistry was amazing. I miss Robin so much. What a joy he was to the world.
Robin is gone never to be seen again without video. Craig is gone because he got tired of all the bureaucracy. I miss them both so much.
We got to see Robin on tour. It’s the hardest I’ve ever laughed. No exaggeration. This man radiated pure warmth & joy. I truly hope he’s found some of that for himself now.
I love how Robin says "It's good to be free range again". Like on Craig's show he could be his wildly open and random self.
Or, he was talking about his own show.
@jeandupont8501 most shows are heavily scripted even rehersed.
So he can't really riff
I’m watching in 2023 and missing Robin terribly.
Craig was one of the few people in the world who could *_almost_* keep up with Robin.
Nah lol he kept up with him pretty well.
Almost, he would be a hard act to follow.
To be fair though, it wasn't Craig's job to keep up with him, (and of course nobody ever could) Craig worked seamlessly and effortlessly during that interview. A joy to watch.
Almost
if there is one.. Craig came the closest.. props
No one had better comic wit than Robin. He could make people laugh at a funeral.
Everyone needs to laugh at a wake.
HOW in God's great earth did they ever cancel this man! He is ten times exponentially better than any late night show host. And he likes puppets.
Not cancelled , he just moved on
AND HE LIKES PUPPETS!!!
I don't think he got cancelled. Craig didn't want to do it anymore
Trump an ricky cleaning the Swamp
no longer any fun without Wobbin?
This was awesome, what a funny collection of appearances on this show. The chemistry between the two is/was pure gold. R.I.P. Robin
devildozer: I came upon this hour-long video of Robin’s appearances on Craig’s show and have had to take breaks in between them to regain my composure. My stomach hurts from laughing!!
One of the highlights of my life was getting to see Robin perform standup in Seattle. I've never seen another human more full of energy.
The best thing about this genius man is that.. I got to enjoy watching him in Aladdin and Mrs. Doubtfire as a kid.. and then enjoying his no-hold-bars comedy specials as an adult. You are missed Robin Williams. 🙏
No holds barred, but holds are beards. 🧔
Geez, I miss Craig’s show and this compilation is gold. What a treasure Robin was.
I love how they are just having a conversation in front of an audience
That's how Craig did his show. It was the best show on late night. I wish he was still here. I'd throw them all away for an hour with Craig doing anything.
Ummm..
Yea that's how talk shows work. The talk. The view
Basically any tall show. Emphasis on the talk
@@frankystrings nah those talk shows are about gossip usually. These guys feel like they are having a private conversation and just happen to be in front of an audience
Craig trying to divert the topic or stop Robin from saying something incendiary is hilarious. Both of them are like old friends
HAHA YES. At 17:15 Craig couldn't catch Robin fast enough, didn't see where he was going.
From 17:15 until 18:01 Craig just hides behind his cup while Robin just goes on and on digging deeper into the hole LOL
It does not matter how many times I re-watch this wonderful compilation, always ends the same: me crying out loud from laughter.
Watching real comedy after long time, thanks for this amazing compilation, the speed of their brain to come up with that stuff just boggles my mind😵💫😵💫
What I love the most is how Robin is so willing and ready to laugh at all of Craig's jokes. A true comedian is always interested in humor. I love how they crack each other up.
Those two have a chemistry that won't quit. I was in tears by the fourth visit.
You know you have game when you can make Robin laugh. I have never seen two people in the entertainment business who were so perfect for each other. Robin and Craig were the Dynamic Duo of comedy. I miss him terribly.
Best comedian, and best comic host ever!
I love coming to UA-cam and watch old Robin Williams videos and read the comments,all of them are nice and polite or nostalgic. Makes me briefly return the faith in decent mankind,especially online. Robin is greatly missed.Love him.

Craig and Robin are both next level individually but with Craig's "no format" format Robin got to be his spontaneous best and that seemed to really bring out Craig's "A" game. It was a real treat to watch them riff off each other!
I am watching this and laughing so hard I am crying. Robin was a comedic genius taken from us way too soon! RIP Robin
Seriously, my belly is sore from the laughing. I’ve never watched this before. Watching Robin Williams laugh out loud has been the best of presents. It only takes a Scot.. Mr Ferguson, you are magic. Thank you.
Scottish, but feck me, born in Northern Ireland.
Thankfully I believe that the other humans in the world actually appreciate a proper sense of humour.
Two of my favs ever! 💕 My heart aches when I think of the loss of Robin, but so grateful to have wonderful footage like this forever. Craig is the BEST! Awesome comedy on stage. 😂
I absolutely love Robin randomly putting on a Scottish accent 😍
Robins skit about invention of GOLF, a marvel..check it out
I come back to this again, and again, and again, and again. Funniest back-to-back appearances compilation out there, period. It's so awesome to see how neither of them has to try to keep up with the other, they're just continually upping the ante in making themselves and each other laugh. Not sure I've seen Robin laugh this much anywhere. This is an hour of footage I treasure deeply.
Craig is one of the only people I ever saw feed off and understand Robin's type of comedy.
Watch him with Winters.
Billy Crystal
Pam Dawber was pretty quick when Mork and Mindy was on the air. She could keep up with him and was why she was selected to star with him.
They're both addicts.
Carson rolled with him pretty well, even knew when Robin wanted to be serious & gave him room to do so.
Robin Williams, we lost a treasure the day we lost him.
Absolutely
Some Christians say they've been revealed by God that Robin Williams is being tortured in hell without rest. God helps us, life is a comedy and a tragedy.

Hello 🖐️
Robin Williams is so admirable. He dealt with so much pain but made it his top priority to distract others from theirs.
He even references it during the first interview in his French accent...
"What is a comedy but a series of painful events..."
16:59
Probably the most genuine real laugh I've ever heard out of him. You don't see someone hiding so much pain. He had this beautiful outburst of laughter in that moment and that's how I want to remember him.
Rewatching this a year later and still cracking up. Robin and Craig have so much chemistry there’s nothing like it!
