I think it's important to remember that he struggled with cocaine and alcohol addiction most of his life. When you realize it's highly unlikely he was sober during this his energy starts to make more sense.
My bff, her family, and I were lucky enough to be in the audience for this taping. We had no idea who the guest was going to be, either. I'll never forget our group being handed the last 4 tickets, the line being cut off behind us, and us running into the Orpheum Theater as the band started. I still can't believe we got to see Robin in person.
A long time resident of San Francisco, I was in the audience for this taping. I knew at the time how fortunate we were to experience Robin's genius in person. All these years later, I'm even more grateful. What a memorable evening this was.
I was there, it was So EPIC!!! We waited in line since 330am just to be able to sit dead center 2nd row. I'll NEVER forget it. Haha. #RipRobinWilliams #LegendsNeverDie
We were there, which happened to be the "night" Robin Williams was there. Trivia: where he mentions "Nob Hill" at 3:39 there's a scream after which he says those are the people who snobbishly say "I bought these seats." The scream was my friend, who Robin then looks in her direction, points at her and says the punchline. Right after that we were giddy that she got a reaction from Robin Williams.
Eerie how he kind of made a joke about jumping off that miniature “Golden Gate bridge” on the set, in reality leading to an almost certain death, and then later on actually taking his own life by suicide. That was a really sad feeling. He was a great man but he had so much inner turmoil and sadness behind those eyes. He selflessly dedicated his life to the world of comedy effectively making others feel better about themselves by enjoying it and in the end, couldn’t bear his own existence.
I'm not remembering some of the details. I believe he had a terminal sickness in his brain, yes? Is it known whether he "willingly" committed suicide, or maybe it resulted from a manic episode or something? Not that it really matters though, honestly, because from everything that is known and that I found it's clear that without that sickness, it wouldn't have happened.
Are you crazy ? It was his illness. If he didn’t have Lewy Body Dementia- his death wouldn’t have happened. Do some research about his illness and what he went through and what his family went through also.
Lewey body dementia is one of the absolute worst ways to go. Your brain literally becomes incapable of processing joy and happiness. Dopamine and serotonin reuptake cease. It is LITERALLY the most miserable death imaginable from a definitional standpoint. The sadness eats your brain.
I miss Robin Williams. He will be missed always. He was the greatest comedian in the world in my opinion. Always funny. But he was dealing with some deep setting sorrow. I really wish he would have talked to someone about it instead of keeping it inside. Love you Robin Williams.
Can you imagine what Robin Williams would have thought, if he seen these wonderful comments about Genie? And knew of all of the people who were watching interviews of him on Conan O'Brien laughing at all of his jokes? I can't guarantee it would have prevented him from doing what he did, but certainly would have gave him something to stop and think about. Rest in peace to one of the most brilliant actors of our time! A true, gift (and brilliant beacon of light, as in star) to the entire lexicon of American cinema.
iYearn4Cats I fear that in the end RW did not know how much he was loved. How could he? His films barely made it into the movie theaters ("Angriest Man in Brooklyn" for example), and his TV show "The Crazy Ones" got canceled. Ratings dropped so drastically. Which I don't understand, it was not a bad show. And al that on top of his physical and psychological problems... He told friends and family that he had nothing to live for which did alarm them. Maybe not enough, who knows, nobody can tell. It is so so sad that he is gone, there hasn't been a day without thinking of RW ever since August 12 when I read the news here in Germany. It is even sadder how the life of this wonderful person died. If only he hadn't succeeded and could have lived to see the love and affection still there for him. The world lost so much with him.
@@iYearn4Cats I know this is an old comment, but I really strongly doubt it would've stopped him. Depression is a bitch. Being loved can help, but it's like a bandaid on an amputated leg.
The exchange between them starting at 1 minute 38 is absolutely hilarious. Conan starts by saying 'beautiful scale model and' to which Robin has a joke and so interrupts by repeating Conan to carry the conversation his way and Conan has this awesome look on his face of 'okay what you got?' and then right before he realizes Robin is gonna do an accent at 1.44 his expression turns into a hilarious smile. Robin obviously then delivers 'This could be very beautiful for flowers also' in a Chinese accent. Which is genuis in itself.
Sorry guys that sucks. I see a bunch of other videos. Just because of this bridge on the set. he doesnt really do that in an other videos. Also he was not suicidal until his dementia got bad. a lot of people keep implying he was the whole time. he was not. he was doing well past several years before but then this dementia made it hard for robin to be robin.
I remember this was in San Francisco. Wow. I was in millions light years from USA. But I've watched this show, you know. So many years passed. I love Bobin!!! When you see him at the show, it's like you serfing with the remote on channels.
When two people are in a conversation regardless of who the individuals are, there is always a dominant person in the interaction. In this interaction it’s without a doubt Robin Williams and there’s nothing that Conan O’Brien can do about it. And that’s saying a lot knowing that Conan O’Brien is usually the dominant one in conversations that I’ve seen him in. It’s very rare for me to see Connor O’Brien not the dominant one.
With Robin, to understand his genius you need to look at the person interviewing him and their reactions. 1min45 seconds he realises Robin is building a lead to a joke and you see Conan sit back with a grin on his face before the “that is very beautiful to have it for flowers also” China capitalist joke. Then the way Robin sort of adjust to get the accent ready right before he delivers. Mad level of wit and comedic genius really.
no matter what mood I'm in, when I get to the parrot in the bedroom part I either crack up uncontrollably or smile and just close my eyes. PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THIS VIDEO OR ANY OF HIS. I understand it is awkward how he has impromptu interviews that have alarming segments of allusions to suicide, but as someone who loves Robin, comic talent, and thinks Robin as one of the best there ever as well as understands suicide and has had thoughts of it, I can't tell you how many times that me having the chance of watching his interviews has lifted my spirit enough to move on with my day. I know he was troubled, but he had a disease like so many of us do and left behind an archive that has so much selflessness and dedication to just helping someone laugh that we cannot NOT have these interviews removed. It's sad, even devistating, but it is actually way, way, way more positive and important.

It must have been such a pleasure to see him live. However if the crowd said jump! like they did here it would be “triggering” and would need a safe place.
One of my greatest memories. I was in the front row at this show.
I was also there, remember his crazy pink socks he had on??? Hahaha
Me too. On the aisle. haha
Fourth row! 😁
Lmao u rich
@@victorcalderon8613 stfu
Robin was the only person who can outdo Conan in terms of manic energy. Love both of them!
Conan manic energy? Huh?
I think he's finally getting back to being himself recently! ^__^
Robin and Russel Brand
You’re forgetting about Steve Irwin. Oh what I’d give to see those three having a conversation together.
I think it's important to remember that he struggled with cocaine and alcohol addiction most of his life. When you realize it's highly unlikely he was sober during this his energy starts to make more sense.
I've seen lots of Robin Williams interviews and stand ups but this particular one stands out. He is as outspoken as TV would ever let him.
Watch his interviews with Craig Ferguson.
@@bitbyte8177 I watched it after this, thanks for reminding. When he passed away, i searched all his interviews on youtube.
@@TheFinalRevelation1 It so cool that you replied to a 5 year old comment of yours :)

Watching robin, it feels like he's still here with us,then it hits u after a second or two,that he's gone...so sad.

He just had lewy bodies
That suicide joke didn't age well... RIP the greatest tv host and one of the comedian G.O.A.Ts of all time
7 years. It aged well for a bit.
The greatest of all time of all time?
Taking a break before any questions asked. Only Robin Williams, RIP...

Such a loss.
But seriously, the first Robin video I watch after has a suicide bit in the first minute? Really?
Best way to remember him in my opinion bro, remember him by his beauty.

Also he was not suicidal until his dementia got bad. a lot of people keep implying he was the whole time. he was not. he was doing well past several years before but then this dementia made it hard for robin to be robin.
i knew someone would be the dick to make that quite obvious observation in the comments...
@@popularculture2890 wait, why a dick?
@@PasserbyP by him making a suicide joke?
The fact that it happened at all, and the speed at which half the crowd starts chanting "jump" says alot about the world.
Robin was a freakishly talented comic!! and an excellent actor!!👍😎
Love watching Robin Williams and miss him so much! Thanks for posting this delightful interview.
I love his energy. His best role the genie. Perfect role for him.
I find that bird mating bit accurately depicted😂😂
Would've been cool to have seen don rickles n Robin on talk show same time.
Conan rickles n Williams
Robin Williams on Conan live in SF.. Epic!!
Greatest Talk show Guest of all time… love this man and his comedy style that is so unique
1:10 crazy how easily he could joke about suicide
He was a comedian? Lol
I didn’t even think about that
I was born in S.F. & have fond memories of walking along the real Golden Gate 🌉 & of course Robin Williams I have always adored him!
“There’s truth in jest” be mindful of what people are joking about, it might be their way of letting you in on what’s really going on in their head..
Just Watched R.Williams sing the ' producers who can't take a joke' for Conan. What a friend to have.
I remember this was in San Francisco. Wow. I was in millions light years from USA. But I've watched this show, you know. So many years passed.
I love Bobin!!! When you see him at the show, it's like you serfing with the remote on channels.
Thank you Robin!!!!
We miss you Robin 💕
7:54 Still the funniest joke I've heard lol
Robin Williams the best in hes time and maybe ever!!!
first time seeing this and I hear that and now I'm hooked it's too bad he died
I was at this taping. It was Conan in San Francisco at the Orpheum Theater.
God damn it I miss him so much...
me too :( where is he? come back :(
Damn Conan needs to come back to San Francisco. I didn't get a chance to go see him
Seeing Robin on the Golden Gate Bridge structure whilst people shout jump made my stomach sad
I don't wanna die, so prophetic
OMG robin Williams 😍 you are a god you evil funny man 😊
Never forget Robin Williams.. RIP Legend
Did something happen to him?
GREAT MAN !!!!!
The greatest talk show guest in the world
He was the greatest!!
Greatest ever comedian in movies
That movie actually sounds awesome.
RIP... I met this man once when he was jogging in San Francisco, what a tragedy.
best robin willians interview IMO
1.23 - That hits different now. 😟
omg he accurately mimic the video from planet earth😂😂😂😂 saw that vid from my bio class lols
Not just a talk show with Williams you're getting a comedy show
I love this man.... no homo... best if not the greatest comic ever!... named his daughter zelda! How awsome
Growing up in Marin, hilarious!
irony...him speaking about suicide
you confusing "coincidence" with "irony" is the only real irony here
Ends with the clap . . . Audience applauds. LOL That is a lot of claps.
Goddamn Robin was phenomenal. Such a tour de force of comedy and wit. RIP.
Lol they said jump!? Now his name is immortalized on the tunnel leading off the Golden gate r.i.p
Classic!
0:40 I'm crying omfg
love this and the movie looks so funny XD
what song is the band playing during Robin's entrance?
To hear him mention suicide in the beginning was chilling
The suicide joke 😭😭
What is the name of the song they play when Robin Williams comes in?
They were chanting jump lol
Shit always end up being ironic
How so?
30 seconds in and he got the audience to yell at him to jump

Did Robin write the most incisive and hilarious Irish limerick for this sketch?
"Is your name Queequeg?" passed completely over people's heads.
With Robin, to understand his genius you need to look at the person interviewing him and their reactions.

That is some heart-wrenching foreshadowing...
The way this video started was a little hard to watch given the facts 😞
The saddest people always try to make other people happy.
Genius
1:23 damn
can someone explain the sticky seats gag? im australian
1:21 The Tragic Truth of suicide.😖😔 RIP Robin
Sad that I've actually never heard of "License to Wed" before! (D'oh!)
I couldn't stand hearing him talk about suicide even as a joke
jokes are half meant they said
And...
1:24 that is so sad!
Robin never culled any group everyone is fair game. You have got to love him.
OMG talk about dark foreshadowing!!
5:08 I wonder what he said in his ear 👂 🤔
we love you robin!!! at least i did. i wish that would have been enough :(
:40 Suicide joke. Audience tells him to jump...
Jump, Jump, Jump.... oh how ironic that seems now....
fuck you bitch
0:28
interesting
When Robin is on the Conan's show, Conan forgets about himself!
Very old video of Robin Williams
Wonder what Conan told him right before the break
It must have been such a pleasure to see him live. However if the crowd said jump! like they did here it would be “triggering” and would need a safe place.
4:00 Martha Stewart burn!!
robin is the only one can out-comedy the conan
