- A comedian’s uncanny impersonation of Robin Williams might be spot-on, but the legendary performer’s daughter says watching it makes her uncomfortable. Jamie Costa channelled the “Mork and Mindy” star in a video called “Screen Test,” and nailed Williams’ manic comic delivery. Fans have been forwarding the video to Robin’s daughter Zelda, but she’s not happy about it. She pleaded with people online to stop sending it to her, but clarified she had no problem with 31-year-old Costa’s impression.
He took it down so that people would stop sending it to her. Very respectful.
It's a shame everyone else didn't show the same respect. Both of their lives were affected by people that wouldn't stop sending it.
Cry baby liberals always getting their feeling hurt .
It’s on the internet it will never go away lmfao
@@ladydeerheart1 or she could not press play or just ignore tweets from random people so dumb
@@wtfisgoingon.3638 bruh wtf shush
She wasn't upset because his impressions or talent, she just didn't like being tagged in it constantly. Understandable.
Very misleading headline.
Imagine being a public figure and getting annoyed by the public
@@SkankHunt42isback u would be too if your extremely talented father, took their own life as well.
Oh ok...well That makes more sense lol
@@obiwankesnowbi9807 you misunderstood the video. Your reading comprehension skills leave a lot to be desired. Id reccomend drinking bleach to make more neuron connections in the brain. Or perhaps a bit of blood letting from your wrists?
Jamie Costa is a legend. Not only for the spot on performance but for having the utmost respect to take the video down so it would make it harder to send her the video.
He may have taken it down out of respect👍, but doesn't stop🤦♂️ Inside Edition from playing it for anyone who hasn't seen it since it's "deletion".
@@Anthony-bt6op Agreed 🎯💔You know Inside Edition will pull any story, twist, turn, spin, & wring out a hundred ways all for views 🤦♀️....and I watched this to what they were talking about & my most beloved comedian/actor....I cried when he passed and I don't know him. He is so phenomenal at his craft, his passion yet people don't realize the pain brought about many of choices in roles or comedic stand up.
@@Anthony-bt6op yeah, but at least the video won't be coming from his account anymore. Man is clearly a respectful human
No Robin williams is the legend this guy has potential to be big and is respectful of the williams family
People need to leave her alone. No matter how innocent their intentions.
@Jinx Vanderz How did she start it, her father died, she had no control over that
@Jinx Vanderz started what?
@@ryhanzfx1641 nothing
@Jinx Vanderz No she didn't! Don't blame the victim!
Sometimes people with the most innocent of intentions cause the most problems.
Robin was so talented and we lost a good one. No one can ever replace him and I don’t blame his daughter for not wanting to see it she doesn’t want to be reminded of what she’s lost. Jamie is very very talented and looks similar to him in the vid tho!
The thing is she never said to take the video down. She just said she didn't want to be sent the video over and over again.
Just being honest, she shouldn't have had any influence to have someone take it off TH-cam.
@@DisneyCruiseShip she didnt get it taken down
The creator took it down because people wouldnt stop sending it to her
Utube video says he's in hell
gotta keep the legend spirit alive tho
His daughter has cried for her dad countless nights, countless days! She deserves peace at his passing! Not misery!! I can't imagine how she has been feeling! Poor girl!
Kill the generic documentary then if you actually respect them
@@AK4974U wtf.
overdramatic much? they send her the videos constantly and she asks them to stop. now unless they're still sending her the video despite this, you're exaggerating your words
I agree. The naysayers must have never lost a loved one. It changes you for life and having reminders forced upon you at inopportune times makes it evern harder.
Zelda: "The impression is great, and the actor talented, I just don't want to be sent it over and over"
Inside Edition: "Ok, but what if we say she hates his impression, good video title right, not a lie at all"
Right. Atleast telling the accurate story has heart but no, they lie for views.
This isn't reporting and they have zero integrity.
😂🤣
"Please stop sending me the test footage, the clip made me uncomfy"
title is "upset by test footage"
can't really get more accurate than that.
I think she's more upset about people sending her messages of someone who reminds her of her deceased father. Please leave her alone.
No, shes just annoyed by being sent a video shes already seen constantly. She in fact thinks the video is great
I understand that she doesn't wanna remember her dad like this. It's good she has nothing against the comedian and he was kind enough to take the video down
She literally saw it and said it was amazing
I love how inside edition make it seem like she's not happy with the comedian impersonating her dad where in reality, she's not happy with people bombarding her with the clip.
Sounds like she’s genuinely impressed by the comedian. They need to make a robin williams movie. And he needs to play robin.
I think his family is just heartbroken still. As anyone would be.
I see it as a loving tribute. He is spot on, but I can see it making a loved one uncomfortable.
I see it the same way you do.
These things always will and that’ll never change. It’s best to just enjoy it and ignore that fact.
She literally saw it and loved it, even complemented the actor
@@libertyprime619 she never said she liked it or disliked it
If there was a movie about Robin Williams then this guy would be perfect.
If he can pull off the acting lol his impersonation is good but that not exactly acting.
Trash reporting, she isn’t upset at the actor. She was tired of people sending her the content repeatedly since it dealt with one of the worst days in her dad’s life.
She’s not upset for the impression… she doesn’t want to be tagged multiple times because it’s painful for her to watch .. and I totally understand it …
I feel so bad for Zelda. I lost my mother to cancer 9 years ago, you never get over the passing of a parent. Praying she's ok.
She saw the video and said she liked it and the actor did an amazing job portraying her dad, she just doesnt want it sent to her every 6 seconds.
He is very talented and we love Robin. Look at this clickbait, she just didn’t want it sent to her in memory of her dad. He didn’t have to take it down but I respect him for caring about how she felt. Love the humanity 😌
She’s not upset by the impression. She’s upset people keep sending her the video. Get it right.
She’s not mad at him , she’s mad at the insensitive jerks who keep sending the clip to her
Bless her!! NO ONE CAN FILL HIS SHOES!! Robin was and is still the best
Except for the fact that zelda saw the video and said the impression was spot on
@@libertyprime619 she never said that?
What a stand up guy. Most people would have kept the video up to make money. This guy knows his talent is worth more then 1 TH-cam video. I wish him the best of success!! 💜💛💜💛💜
Change your title Inside Edition. She just doesn't want to see it because it's probably creepy to her and everyone keeps sending it. She doesn't just hate the guys impression
I wouldn’t want strangers sending me videos of a guy impersonating my deceased father.
Emulating someone with respect shows love and honor. I feel sorry for Robins daughter although 😟 it must be so hard to avoid things like this when you're father was such a celebrity. Be ok lady ,, have peace
I don’t blame her she has every right to feel upset. Not because the actor is doing a great job portraying her father, but a reminder of grieving over him. How would you feel if you were in her shoes?
It’s unfair that he worked so hard to put that out only to take it down. Robins daughter obviously didn’t deserve that but I definitely feel for the guy who was having fun and is tainted by the comment. I also don’t blame people who sent it to her, it’s obvious they had good intention and I of course don’t blame her either. Just a weird situation overall!
Yeah... it's extremely complicated.
I can only hope that she can find some peace and, someday, give Jamie her blessing. It just takes time, that's all.
Yea I think her saying she was tired of receiving the video over and over was an excuse for not wanting to be reminded of her father's passing. Which is respectable and understanding. but she really should be honest next time since people were obviously just trying to get her to smile.
People, leave Zelda alone! I'm sure she can find things on her own time.
He removes it, inside edition: don’t worry we’ve got no respect we’ll post it
Kinda reminds me of recently when Vanesda Bryant asked fans to stop sending Pictures and Kobe Tributes to her.. said she was getting them all day everyday, and as much as she knew people meant well, it was keeping her from being able to move forward
I think by sending it to her, brings back so many memories and the pain from her loss she'll never get over. So, while his memory will live on in her heart, there's no need to remind her of her Dad.
No shyt Captain Obvious.
@@trawlins396 go play in traffic or chase a parked car, I didn't call for you.
Title of vid is a bit misleading, she's upset by the hundreds of people who keep resending her the vid.
Has it really been seven years already 😭 I miss you Robin Williams 💔
Rip Robin William we miss your acting and your laugh
I've worked with Robin Williams in Steven Spielberg's movie " Hook" at Columbia Studios in Culver City, CA. Playing a " Lost Boy" Robin use to always talk to us in nuturing and calm manner after every screen shot. Yes, he use to crack jokes between shoots but that was just Robin being himself. I dont blame his daughter and he can never be replaced. This is a true insult.
It's not an insult. She already said she liked his impersonation. Get it right.
I think Zelda has every right not to want to watch it herself, but it's a shame that the actor completely removed the video seeing as how it must've taken a lot of effort for him to make this wonderful tribute to Robin. This was some Jim Carey "Man on the Moon" level impersonation!
Inside edition isn't making it seem like his daughter is upset with the actor. They literally shared her tweet saying she was upset with people constantly sending it to her. Idk why y'all don't pay attention before speaking on something...
It literally says "Daughter is upset with impersonation". They definitely used a misleading title.
Its always the title! Gets you every time and they do this on just about all of there videos. You have to read what you clicked on! Unless your just watching auto play.
Very respectful of the guy to remove the video in the interest of protecting Jamie William’s from being upset. Lot of class acts in this story
People have to remember she is his daughter! Not someone he worked with but his actual daughter and losing a parent in any way can really leave an awful hurt on you we just lost my grandmother 3 months ago and my dad who has never cried since I was born 21 years ago when he saw her pass cause he was there he's cried so much and we've cried to because she was a very important woman in my life who shaped me into the woman I am today and my dad who is 56 now can tell you losing someone that important to you regardless of age is really really painful and it's something you have to live with the rest of your life. I don't blame her for not wanting to see the clip.
Damn. Just thinking about his passing makes me want to cry again .
She asked not to be inundated with it, good job pairing it with her name on national TV Inside Edition
I would be uncomfy too if people kept sending me videos of someone impersonating my dead father. That’s a bit of a touchy and raw subject, I wish they’d asked the family for their options prior
Remember folks, this is her Dad...not "Robin Williams."
I think the fact that Zelda was "uncomfy" was a nod to Jamie that his performance was so spot-on brilliant, and anything less from Jamie would have been an insult to the great man Robin Williams was.
Robin Williams is one of a kind! Often imitated but NEVER duplicated! But I have to give that gentleman who did the impersonation props! He is very talented and that was a beautiful ode to Robin Williams and I am sure that is ALL he meant by it.
people just need 2 leave her alone honestly no matter the fan’s intentions
Robin Williams is one of those people that you don't know but you feel like you've known your whole life and even though it's been years since hes past it still doesn't feel real. Rip Robin
People who were sending her the "Test" footage were being very Disrespectful, I don't blame Jaime, I blame them 😤 🤬
What amazes me is Zelda can wright a tweet that a clear as day and people STILL misquote or misunderstand her. Its very apparent that everyone has fail reading comprehension
I bet it just makes her sad and makes her think of her dad. 😓❤️
He did a great job. And it was very kind of him to recognize that it upset her and he took it down. I can't even imagine losing my dad.
Well, obvioisly he wasn't doing that for Robin's family, he was just doing something that he wanted to do for fun and for admiration, I suppose. Is sad that he felt it had to be taken down💔. I would've liked to watch it
Zelda, was not against Jaime doing his standup/test rehearsal, etc. She doesn't want it thrown in her face. It hits to close to home. As she said not targeted towards Jaime but to the people/fans who have no idea how she would accept this especially when you open your SM & it is constantly there..... still grieving and just a pic can be a trigger 💔.
Edit: Inside Edition & all our comments is something else she doesn't want to continue to see.
What the heck is that title?? She's not upset because of the impression
She's upset of people spamming her twitter with this video
Title is a bit misleading, but I think most people have enough trust for Inside Edition to watch the whole thing.
she's still grieving. i hope she'll be okay and is around family and love ones to support her.
Considering I lost a loved one to suicide I completely understand how painful this could be for her. I still have to prepare myself mentally to look at any photograph of her and even then I cry every time. Thank you for respecting his family’s wishes by taking down the video. That was very kind. Loosing a loved one suddenly is never easy.
Even though the young actor is very talented, no one in my eyes could ever replace Robin Williams. I do appreciate the fact that he took that video down for Zelda because clearly he understood it was making her uncomfortable and she is clearly still grieving.
regardless he should play him, if they ever do a movie about him.
Jamie’s impression was top notch! Glad I got to see it before it was taken down. I too had been wondering how she felt about Jamie Costa, as his impression of him was on par. But I would never disturb her for it. Poor thing, she loves her daddy, last thing she needs is an overwhelming push of her daddy’s memory in her face.
No one can ever replace Robin Williams.
Impersonating someone is hard. Replacing someone is impossible. ):
I've seriously started hating that word...now we're even going with "uncomfy"......smh.
I lost my mother five years ago. It's still hard to see her pictures and videos. I can understand why it made her uncomfortable. He wouldn't have had to take it down if everyone had just shown some respect and not forwarded it to her.
💯
Why they disrespectful sending it to her knowing she still grieving
Shes not, she actually stated she liked the video and said the actor did a really great job portraying her father. Shes just annoyed by the spam
So this was clickbait. Nice job Inside Edition
Very Respectful and well done. We all miss you Robin and your spirit will always shine in the hearts of others you've inspired.
Being able to mimic someone’s lines and delivery is not the same as acting like him. Parrots can repeat phrases too
But he's not reading his lines, he's acting. This wasn't a scene this was a depiction of his life.
She wasn't just mad that people were bombarding her with it, but because it was on "one of his saddest days of his life", and it was "weird".
And I can get behind that. Out of all the moments in Robin's life Jamie could've chosen, why did it have to be a sad one and not a happy one? My guess is because since Robin suffered from depression, it would sell. It would get a lot of views. Robin's essentially one of the biggest faces of depression.
Depression is glorified. It's celebrated. It's seen as "normal". It sometimes even makes people happy. It's bound to get lots of attention and coverage, while happy moments barely get *any* attention.
Can’t believe it’s already been 7 years ago. RIP
No clue who Jamie is but much respect to him listening and taking it down 👍❤️
Rest in powerful peace my favorite celebrity and homie of all time Robin Williams 🙏
🌟 ❤ 🌟 🌷 🌟 🌷 🌟
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
If we lived in a society of ppl that knew how to mind their own business, they'd just enjoy the video and leave it at that and the video would still be up.
It's actually about her getting upset about people constantly sending her the video rather than getting upset over his impression.
Idk to me he kinda looks like what you'd get if Robin Willians and Patrick Schwaze had a baby, two amazingly talented men, both gone too soon.
Idk why people would send the video to his kids. If it’s sent to anyone, it should be a producer or something. For the daughter, she will always mourn him. It will always be somewhat uncomfortable.
My childhood hero. No one can copy Robin perfectly.
Agreed, but I would also argue that this actor is about as close as it gets.
@@bumper321 nope can't watch him. You know I actually cried when Robin Williams died.
@@jamesboone3678 I did as well. The news came on my laptop and I went from site to site, praying that it was a hoax.
However, whether our hearts can handle it or not, Jamie does a commendable performance here.
I'm glad he took the video down no one will ever replace Robin Williams
People need to understand there was so much more to Robin Williams then just that, and am sure the fond memories of her father was nothing like this clip. 😢
She said the impression was spot on and the actor did a great job.
At lease he respect her wishes and took it down himself
That IMPRESSINATION was not spot on no one can do or be like Robin Williams 1 of a kind.
I can understand how she feels, my father had lewy body dementia as well, its so hard to even think about it.
I get it. Seeing someone portray your dad so well and then realizing he isn’t with you anymore would be painful
If anyone’s thinking of doing a remake/reboot of one of his movies, DON’T!
Robin Williams is irreplaceable! R.I.P
Jamie Costa has been doing Robin Impressions for years. Been a long time fan, Sorry that Zelda has been upset by this. My regards to her. That being said, a Bio Pic is inevitable. And Jamie IS and HAS to be lead as he is the perfect embodiment of the late and great Robin Williams. If Zelda and the rest of the Williams family ever get to approve the film, I know 100 percent that Jamie is the most honorable, loving, kind and humbled actor for the job, he even took his own video down because he knew people wouldn't be able to bother zelda anymore if he did. Plus he wasn't the one that sent Zelda the video it was his fans or even fans of Rob's.
@Jim Palmer uh I do, I’ve met Jamie, via online hangouts, follow his social media, watched interviews. Sorry that you don’t know.
What an absolute shame, the short video was really something special! I know Jamie Costa has wanted to do something like this for a long time because of his love for Robin so for it to have been taken down is really sad. I understand his daughter was getting sick of being sent the video numerous times but I don’t think the video should have been taken down.
I think Jamie Costa showed his true level of class by voluntarily taking it down in an attempt to help stop the bombardment. It's a great impression but, were I Mr. Costa, I wouldn't consider it worth even a moment of pain to the daughter of a man he obviously admired so much.
I think Jamie Costa will go far. He's obviously very talented!
His choice
Robin was so talented and for someone to relive his memories and does a great job at it shouldn’t be an issue. The daughter should be proud that someone is bring his happiness back to the world.
She literally said she likes the video
It is weird that people would constantly send it. Why wouldnt they look to see if it was sent to her already? It is aggravating. Just like seeing the same comment in the comment section 4500 times. Isnt that what the "like" button is for?
The fact he took the video down shows he is truly a class act. Not many clout chasing influencers would do that, Kudos my man.
Jamie Costa NEEDS to play Robin Williams in a documentary. He's that damn talented and it would honor the legacy of Robin.
I mean... Its a "good" impression. But "NAILED" and "SPOT ON" and "UNCANNY" is a few LEAPS tooooo far.
I'm glad/happy her request were heard. Everyone grieves differently, it may still be too soon for her. Great job by the actor though.
It seems that she isn’t upset by his performance, more that she still grieves and isn’t ready to see these performances that highly resemble him.
Wrong, she said that "the impression was spot on and the actor is great" after she saw it, she just doesnt want it sent to her constantly
That's her deceased father that she loved so much, and is still grieving!
Sending her test footage of her fathers impersonator, I would assume if it was me. Would break my heart, I would be in tears missing my father dearly...
That poor girl.
Yes dude is talented, if y'all liked him so much.
All you had to do was retweet him or forward him, or send it to Agents for him.
Not Robins daughter 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
I'm sure Robin Williams would approve. It's just respect.
She wasn’t upset by the actor. She was upset by people sharing it with her constantly
Just something I found out recently Zelda Williams was named after Zelda from The Legend of Zelda because Robin Williams was a fan of the series.
Close but no cigar
Why is a grown adult using the word uncomfy. It makes me uncomfortable.
She’s just probably heart broken because he channeled her father so well that it brought back memories. Some people rather be left alone after they loose a loved one.
Props for taking it down❤️
No one could imitate Robin but himself he was a classic a legend an original !!!
