Robin really was a force of nature! It's like a great jazz musician riffing and improvising, going off in all sorts of directions but always coming back to the original theme. What a great man, much missed.
Clive Anderson is actually criminally underrated, comically but here he couldn't cope with Robin but the best thing was he just went with it, and got in a couple of great quips at the end too. Possibly my fav ever Robin interview this!!
What most people don't know is how dedicated to his friends Robin was. He paid ALL Christopher Reeve's medical bills. And his last phone call was to Billy Connolly to say "goodbye". If you believe in heaven, after all the laughter and joy Robin brought to the world, I'm sure Robin is there.
You can see that he put so much energy into every ounce of performance... its no wonder that it sadly, admittedly left him dry. You can tell he felt alive during making other people happy - just sad that he went the way he did and not many people knew or could do anything about it. Just goes to show, when you know what deep unhappiness looks like, all you want to do is put the people around you anywhere but in that place. God bless you Robin, may your soul now find the peace it deserves.
I've suffered from depression and I've a fair idea of what he went thru but it must have been much worse for him because he was famous. He will always be rembered and never forgotten and I personally will have a place in my heart for this wonderful man and the fantastic legacy he left behind him. Rip Robin Williams 🙏
Too clever for his own good and desperately misunderstood. It started with Mork and Mindy and ended with it too.This world was never meant for one as beautiful as him 😢😮
I was at the recording for this. Only a fraction of Robin Williams' extraordinary performance made it on air, because he thwarted the cameras, and just - wouldn't - stop. The best live comic performer I've ever seen by a very long way indeed. What an amazing talent.
@Patrick Kincaid how lucky you were to see Robin live, being in the same room as him! It must have been electrifying! Ive loved him since Mork and Mindy times xxxxx
***** Hi ya I was young too! 13 years old! He was adorable in that! Don't we all wish we could have helped Robin, talked to him, listened, understood, helped him, loved him. Trouble is we did all love him, he just didn't know............ I honestly don't think he truly realised, despite it being blatantly obvious by audience reaction when he was on stage/doing interviews, he always seemed surprised by the demonstrations of affection towards him. I also believe that he saw a very bleak dependent future for himself, and simply could not bare the idea of not being to do what he does best - make people laugh. I truly believe in his depressed state he could not bare the thought of his wife and family ending up his carers............................
hi Patrick. thanks for the comment. I was there also and was gonna say the same thing. I think he was on for 30 mins or so? When I watched it on tv the next week I realised they'd edited a lot out to make it fit into the show ! I also recall we weren't told who the guests were. ANyone remember who the other 2 were ?
@@melita65 - We will never know, sadly...but I've heard similar suggestions before. All that's certain is that he was suffering from Lewey Body Dementia, which can easily affect a person's thoughts and emotions. For someone as already energetic as Robin, his disease probably accelerated his mind and heart beyond his own control.
Sadly he did have an off switch called lewy bodies dementia. The world needs you Mr.Williams but you have done your part to make life more tolerable. Rest in peace.
Meeting Robin Williams was certainly an incredible moment for me and let me share with you that he had the strongest hand shake of any man. He was an extraordinary man with more talent than anyone in history. There will never be another Robin.
My friend you are correct about that handshake of Robins. I too got the chance to meet him in our hometown of San Francisco and he gave me a strong handshake. Amazing you experienced the same.
465marco wtf. You must be some happy guy, looking down on people only because you don’t share their humor sense. And yet, up to certain point I have to agree with you; your brain seems to be both: a fart and a joke.
Yeh he was a comedy genius ,amazingly talented at improv and very quick witted ,unfortunately he was bipolar and I think he wore himself out constantly being funny all the time ,as you can see in this interview hes very rarely being himself I actually find him sad to watch sometimes rather than funny
When anyone can subdue Clive Anderson's non-stop patter like Robin Williams did here , then you know you are in the presence of an exalted comedy genius.
A comedy genius ,made a joke out of anything ,incredibly quick ,highly intelligent ,brilliant impressionist ,and when he is serious ,so interesting to listen to him. So sad he is gone.
I have watched "almost" every interview of Robin Williams, . . . one thing that amazes me each time is his amazing sense of humor and energy he had. . . it's impossible for him to sit for more than 5 min . . . he was truly a great comedian. i miss him :(
he tried to please other people and forgot to have the fun himself. I read he tried to make his mother laugh who was depressed, well some can't take life as it comes with pain
I actually did have the opportunity of meeting Robin in 1981. We were on a business trip and it was the last night and so we were doing what all over promoted 22-year-olds do we were hitting the clubs and getting loaded. And we were in the comedy club, and he came out Walked right off the stage and into the audience and started going to the table as he chose and making comments and he got to our table and he asked me where I was from and I said Joliet Illinois to which he replied, not quite the end of the world, but you can see it from there. To this day and I am 66 years old. There is not a time when anyone in our family is asked where we’re from that we don’t reply Joliet Illinois not quite the end of the world but you can see it from there. It was one of the best nights of my life. it broke my heart when he died. It was just a year after I lost my dad and at that point I don’t think I ever felt so alone.
TJAnon15 , ditto! I've barely began, today, to be able to watch him w/O balling, I have cried a bit a few times, my children in the other hand can't quite yet.
One thing I noticed about Robin Williams was that he lived on the laughs. The crowd energized him. His performance in front of an audience was a sight to behold. He energy got us through some tough times and will be missed.
Clive Anderson looks like he doesn't like Robin upstaging him and wants him to stick to just answering his questions. Robin just goes into his thing and its brilliant!
Lewy body dementia of his beautiful mind was the reason he took his life not due to him suffering from a type of depression. I dont understand why most people do not take the time to listen to his Dr. and wife!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA i am so happy to have found this...Williams portraying a fly and a bee...what about the slow motion thing... And the stereotypes of New Yorkers...so perfect! Gosh, he is very much missed...So creative, so funny! Extraordinary!
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face,..
It took someone like the late great Robin Williams, to actually not allow Clive Anderson to hardly get a word in, which was some achievement. r.i.p. Robin (Sadly Missed)
Robin Williams was / is still one of the best comedians there ever was. When he sadly took his own life he left. A lot of people with a big void, he was so funny and he could spin a joke right there on the spot. I will miss him greatly and I have thought of him lots of times over the years, i will undoubtably think of him in the years to com. I hope you are Resting In Peace Robin, lord knows we could do with some of your wit.
That beautiful man had so much going on behind those beautiful eyes. I read something which a Priest had said to an attendee of a funeral for their friend that committed suicide. We should commend and honor the days that they fought rather than focusing on the day that they lost their battle.
Jonathan Carr : my understanding is that it wasnt necessarily depression that was the motive, but that he realized he had a serious illness...the name of which escapes me...but it was a brain disorder which would lead to a progressive degeneration in his faculties. I believe he did a pre-emptive strike on his own terms, rather than slowly dissolve. Dont blame him a bit.
Been fitting anxiety and stress lately and watching Robin Williams relax me and reduces the severity of the issues. Thanks God for this guy. A gift to humanity. RIP
Please don't thank god.. thank robin. He did all the work. . God let him do all this for us, yet gave him a drug problem... and let him die to young. There is no god, and thanking for one thing and ignoring another is wrong.
Fantastic. What a great interview. Clive let Robin be Robin and sat back and enjoyed the show that is Robin Williams. What a massive loss but a huge contribution to other peoples happiness. Love RW. X Gone but far from forgotten. Great comedian but an even finer actor.
The irony the funniest man in the world,was also the most depressed. This man was a legend,the world is less funny without him,RIP Robin Williams. You’re sorely missed!
He had Lewy-Body Dementia that affected his brain. How could anyone imagine that he would want to continue to live knowing that the one thing he could always rely on is damaged more and more each day.
WHAT A FN FUNNY GUY, HE CAN CHANGE MY FAIR MOOD IN A MINUTE & MAKE ME HAPPY AGAIN ! I WILL MISS HIM FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART ! R.I.P. ROBIN, YOU MADE US ALL VERY, VERY FANS , HAPPY !!!!!!!
@ Mark O'Sullivan I first saw this on the above date when I was 13. It was my little friend's 6th birthday that day too. I had been waiting in anticipation for this show on BBC1. This particular episode! And I wasn't disappointed! I had recorded this on my video recorder that time, but due to circumstances beyond my control, the recording (& a lot of my recordings) was given to various charity shops. Boy, was I unhappy about that! But I am soooo happy that at least someone out there decided to put this up. Thank you very much for putting this up, I have been looking for this episode for YEARS on TH-cam, hoping that someone, a fan, would've put it on.And at last, it is here! Thanks for sharing this.Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!! :-D
Steve Martin and Billy Crystal keep up with Robin Williams pretty well actually. Especially Billy, since they've been great friends for decades and can improv off one another on the fly... as for anyone else, you're probably right.
4RedDwarf3 Paul Merton is actually funny. Robin Williams had a few voices that he used in rapid fire which fooled dumb people into thinking he was funny. Programs like Family Guy got wise to him and he knew it. If you actually listen to the jokes he's making they're usually weak. He also stole other comedian's jokes for his stand up act.
I'm just always hoping that his then wife took that kind of joking in stride and didn't ever become miffed everytime he made jokes to random women in the audience...I mean...after a while it might get to you. Other than THAT...the man was sheer genius...and was loved by ALL.
God i love Robin! Its a really tearjerker to see this and knowing that he is gone. Brilliant entertainer. He is truly a one of a kind. RIP Mr Williams.
Lee Readman , yes initially he seemed like a deer in headlights, he did warm up and seem to become more at ease but to his credit, like a good interviewer and host he let Mr. Robin Williams take the lead, as one must with caliber such as this, the exceptional have it w/O being overbearing, obnoxious or with shameless arrogance or self gratuitously, wherein the audience feels the awkward palpable tension. The audience was his and he was theirs.
I've wondered what Robin Williams was doing in a regular conversation with people who have. to. ponder. ev-e-ry. thought. and... think... slow-ly. before.they... speak, when his mind was racing at Mach 5. It must have been painful for him to wait for other people to stop speaking. The man was an absolute talent, a master at his craft. Imagine how painful it must have been for him to realise that his illness prevented him from operating at that speed of thinking when it had always come so easy to him. RIP Robin Williams
I'd guess that a brain with his capabilties just reduced the energy output for the conversation to the needed amount and let the rest go for another flight :)
Recently I lost a friend to a similar tragedy. I ran across this and it afforded a moment of thoughtful grace at having known my friend and the grace of laughter. It left me with a big smile...
*Wasn't he just plain marvelous and delightful to watch ? stream of consciousness at its best. ... always a clown. rest in peace, weary warrior. rest in peace.*
Funny still lives, but those are legends gone by. Don't forget Rodney Dangerfield, Bob Hope, Mitch Headberg, Sam Kinison... Do not give up on comedy. So many legends are still alive. Bill Murray, Steve Martin, Steven Wright, Jim Carrey, Dave Chappelle. You will laugh again and again my friend!
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face,...
Wow 😂 only discovering this Robin video now and it’s the best one yet i’am in tears here. And thing is I used to watch Clive show and more than likely watched this when I a kid, Guarantee I never laughed this much. What a genius Robin was.
This is the first footage of Robin Williams that I've watched since his death. For 5 years, I just haven't been able to bring myself to watch the things of his that I used to enjoy. I wish we could have done something to make you stay, Robin. I wish someone could have eased your pain, like you did ours;
It wasn't a matter of easing his pain. He had Lewy Body Dementia misdiagnosed in the media (not sure about his actual doctors) as Parkinsons. He left on his own terms which was way better than any other result from that illness.
This what I loved about Robin he changes tact so god damn fast its awesome, the interviewer hasn't got a chance in hell of keeping up with him. The world is not the same anymore without Robin , he just made people smile and laugh , just the name Robin Williams made people smile and l for one miss him . Godspeed Robin
LOVED this video!! There's SO many he's made and this just made my day. Can anyone keep a straight face around him? NO. I'm with Rich, on this one. My face hurts too, from laughing and grinning SO much!! Robin Williams will always live on forever in our hearts!! He knew how to entertain us and keep us laughing.
He must be such a pleasure to interview, you don't have to do any homework, ZERO preparation, just turn him loose and Robin does it all himself, does he ever turn off? he burned too bright, like a shooting star, he burned himself out, we were lucky to be here to see him flashing across our lives
Anderson couldn't do his usual pathetic put down humour with the mighty Robin, despite his efforts....so he just had to die on stage for 10 minutes and watch a real genius at work! R.I.P.
I respectfully beg to disagree. Anderson has mediocre guests which he has to interact with. I felt he was delighted to have this force of nature and he looked like he enjoyed it. @@LockedInTheZoo
I'm not a fan of Anderson and I agree with "An na", Anderson has a kind of put down humour and I find it distasteful. Anderson used that on Roger Moore once, but Roger being the gentleman he is, took it in his stride and dealt with it with extreme class. Robin is hilarious and it's GOLD to see him dominate on this show lol. Putting someone down is a cheap way to get laughs and it shows a lack of talent.
Robin Williams was a one hell of a good actor, especially in serious roles. I miss him, he was one of those people that made other laugh while inside they were struggling with pain.Tragedy and comedy a very thin line
He is still the funniest man on the planet. Everytime I go online I do a search for him. Think I've seen the most of Mr. Williams but once in a while I get to see something new. RIP Dear Captain...
![Robin Williams - Parkinson interview [2002]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4LaJDOD5cJI/mqdefault.jpg)
Robin really was a force of nature! It's like a great jazz musician riffing and improvising, going off in all sorts of directions but always coming back to the original theme. What a great man, much missed.
No body could ever match this guy's talent, EVER.
He has left such a big hole in our lives. RIP Robin, we will miss you for ever.
Clive Anderson is actually criminally underrated, comically but here he couldn't cope with Robin but the best thing was he just went with it, and got in a couple of great quips at the end too.

Agreed , Clive had great sarcasm and quips
What most people don't know is how dedicated to his friends Robin was. He paid ALL Christopher Reeve's medical bills. And his last phone call was to Billy Connolly to say "goodbye". If you believe in heaven, after all the laughter and joy Robin brought to the world, I'm sure Robin is there.
I hope so, because he brought a ton of joy to so many people around him.
I couldn't agree more he was a true gent will be sorely missed. Absolutely loved the man he always had me buckled over with laughter. RIP Robin xoxo
Vampirebear13 He is heaven.
God that breaks my ❤
Robin is making the Angel's laugh.
His brain was so fast that time was ticking too slow for him.
One in a billion Genius!
May he Rest In Peace!

Robin Williams was way beyond a mere great comedian. He was a once in a century force of nature. Irreplacable and so sorely missed.
Too clever for his own good and desperately misunderstood. It started with Mork and Mindy and ended with it too.This world was never meant for one as beautiful as him 😢😮
This guy was approaching 100% of potential of the human brain.
He sure was, such an insight into human nature, he soaked up others emotions like a sponge, one of the few true empaths of our time 🤗
Rubbish.
And then Lewy body dementia crept into his brain. Of all the brains in the world 😢

You are one of the few who saw his genius at work.
Robin was born without an 'Off' switch...
Billy Crystal said that very early on in their friendship
I think he found it
It was very dark when he switched off and he could not stand it so he kept going on and on and on.
Sadly he did have an off switch called lewy bodies dementia. The world needs you Mr.Williams but you have done your part to make life more tolerable. Rest in peace.
I miss Robin so much. The world is a sadder place.
Meeting Robin Williams was certainly an incredible moment for me and let me share with you that he had the strongest hand shake of any man. He was an extraordinary man with more talent than anyone in history. There will never be another Robin.

Incredible person. I loved the video with Robin and his gorgeous mother. She was the sweetest.

Never seen a man use the whole stage for an 'interview'.. and never will. Miss this great soul.

Miss him too loved loved loved him one of a kind special talent huge heart.
a good rule of theater is "use the space" robin knew how to use the space
wherever he went
Dame Edna did.
Robin was living proof that comedy is an actual art
Robin Williams was proof that true genius does exist
George Carlin Called stand up comedy a Vulgar Art, but still an art form. Genius . I call it satire. Much needed satire.

FUNNIEST MAN I EVER HEARD, HE HAS TO GO DOWN IN THE HISTORY OF COMEDY, AS THE BEST THATS EVER BEEN.
As long as Monty python exists that's just wrong.

RIP Robin Williams 1951-2014 you will be sadly missed by millions of fans who are always there to support u
8 mins in Not one question answered…. He was a legend. Clive Anderson didn’t stand a chance. Such a talented man….❤❤
I laughed all the way to the end and now I'm in tears for the great man we lost.
When Robin walked on, was I the only one who thought "Buckle up Clive!"
That goes for everyone who tried to 'interview' Robin
No.
i have never seen the crowd laughing so much than when Robin Williams was on the show, rest in power to this beautiful soul
*No one will EVER replace Robin Williams. he was a unique, brilliant, incredibly brave and hysterical comic.*
Your words EXACTLY mirror my thoughts... I could not have said it better myself.. R.I.P Robin, you are
the best
@Zinogg not anymore :-(
@NinjaRider777R Robin Williams would laugh and laugh and laugh at your attitude. PC police? The man was so full of compassion.
@NinjaRider777R Just interested,which sketches did he drop from his shows towards the end?
@NinjaRider777R What a shame....The PC Thought Police infest every aspect of life nowadays
Nobody else could turn something like a fly landing on you into 5 minutes of comedy gold.
Amazing 😂
if ever we are all like him...perhaps, the world would cracked up with an enormous laughter forever
He definitely was the funniest man ever.
he tried to please other people and forgot to have the fun himself. I read he tried to make his mother laugh who was depressed, well some can't take life as it comes with pain
fuck off

God forbid the host would try to contain him.

Took me a minute but now I get it :[
This is very true as my father was that light for me and my family.
Was he a Replicant? Did we see Dekker in the last days?
In that case... He is a supernova.
I actually did have the opportunity of meeting Robin in 1981.

Yes,the day Robin died the world lost it's sense of humour.
The world didn't lose it's sense of humour the day this great man passed but, comedy lost it's patron saint...
No apostrophe needed ("its"). RW's humour will live on. As Billy Crystal said, an eternal light for all comics following etc

@ Mark O'Sullivan I first saw this on the above date when I was 13. It was my little friend's 6th birthday that day too. I had been waiting in anticipation for this show on BBC1. This particular episode! And I wasn't disappointed! I had recorded this on my video recorder that time, but due to circumstances beyond my control, the recording (& a lot of my recordings) was given to various charity shops. Boy, was I unhappy about that! But I am soooo happy that at least someone out there decided to put this up. Thank you very much for putting this up, I have been looking for this episode for YEARS on TH-cam, hoping that someone, a fan, would've put it on.And at last, it is here! Thanks for sharing this.Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!! :-D
This is one of the funniest guest show appearances ever!!!
yes I watch this one over and over
An American icon an American legend unforgettable human being a light from beyond and now he is gone Rest In Peace Mr robin willaim’s
Wow he was fast.A pure comical genius.Never missed a beat.Miss him.RIP to the Legend that he was and always will be.
Can you imagine being another comedian and appearing on the same talk show as him ??? You would retire immediately afterwards ! lol
Steve Martin and Billy Crystal keep up with Robin Williams pretty well actually. Especially Billy, since they've been great friends for decades and can improv off one another on the fly... as for anyone else, you're probably right.
Paul Merton are you nuts, that man is not on the same level... get a reality check.
4RedDwarf3 Paul Merton is actually funny. Robin Williams had a few voices that he used in rapid fire which fooled dumb people into thinking he was funny. Programs like Family Guy got wise to him and he knew it. If you actually listen to the jokes he's making they're usually weak. He also stole other comedian's jokes for his stand up act.
He was real funny man sad he died so young everyone loved him he was fab
Porta, I respectfully disagree. Robin Williams was on a different level than any other comedian. Arguably the funniest man ever
This wonderful human being could not be contained, like a lightning bolt.
His mind just goes a million miles an hour. You sort of forget he is being interviewed.
MY face hurts from watching this, I forgot how funny this man was.
You mean Clive Anderson?
How on earth did you forget? He's not been dead all that long.
Rich Mond l mph Phipps
lol
yukimaruzam
YOUR face...?
Robin Williams could go on any show and take it over! Such a hilarious guy, a comedy genius!
whenevver I'm alone and feeling down - all I have to do is youtube Robin...there is so much materialss - Greatest Talent I've everseen in comedy
"As a doctor you know I can help you, I can numb those. nom nom nom nom"
Couldn't stop laughing
why did she not ask her question, though? was she flustered?
@@brainsareus She said she forgot what she wanted to ask.
I'm just always hoping that his then wife took that kind of joking in stride and didn't ever become miffed everytime he made jokes to random women in the audience...I mean...after a while it might get to you. Other than THAT...the man was sheer genius...and was loved by ALL.
...she was so embarrassed she forgot her question oh I love it
@@brainsareus yup
God i love Robin! Its a really tearjerker to see this and knowing that he is gone. Brilliant entertainer. He is truly a one of a kind. RIP Mr Williams.
The expression, Don't know whether to laugh or cry, suddenly has new meaning. RIP Mr Williams you were very very special.
So much talent and humour in one human being is purely amazing. He is missed by many.
Clive could almost control 4 personalities in Whose line.... but had no hope with one Robin 😂🤣🤭👏👏👏. RIP Robin.
😅😂❤
He was also in one episodd
poor clive he didnt know what to do lol
I thought he did great, let him get on with it. And even had a great gag at the end!
Lee Readman , yes initially he seemed like a deer in headlights, he did warm up and seem to become more at ease but to his credit, like a good interviewer and host he let Mr. Robin Williams take the lead, as one must with caliber such as this, the exceptional have it w/O being overbearing, obnoxious or with shameless arrogance or self gratuitously, wherein the audience feels the awkward palpable tension. The audience was his and he was theirs.
😂🤣
I've wondered what Robin Williams was doing in a regular conversation with people who have. to. ponder. ev-e-ry. thought. and... think... slow-ly. before.they... speak, when his mind was racing at Mach 5. It must have been painful for him to wait for other people to stop speaking. The man was an absolute talent, a master at his craft. Imagine how painful it must have been for him to realise that his illness prevented him from operating at that speed of thinking when it had always come so easy to him.
RIP Robin Williams
.....BEAUTIFULLY SAID....
I'd guess that a brain with his capabilties just reduced the energy output for the conversation to the needed amount and let the rest go for another flight :)
According to his wife he was quite
Recently I lost a friend to a similar tragedy. I ran across this and it afforded a moment of thoughtful grace at having known my friend and the grace of laughter. It left me with a big smile...
Man he was such phenomen. So quick. Could have an audience laughing or crying at will. Thanks for all the laughs Mr Williams
*Wasn't he just plain marvelous and delightful to watch ? stream of consciousness at its best. ... always a clown. rest in peace, weary warrior. rest in peace.*
Len Hummel , such lovely words about Robin
@@eilsmile8732 I know seriously THAT made me cry.
Well spoken. Robin was one of a kind.
Robin Williams
George Carlin
Don Rickles
Joan Rivers.
The day these *LEGENDS* departed this earth - is the day " _funny_ " ceased to exist.
Funny still lives, but those are legends gone by. Don't forget Rodney Dangerfield, Bob Hope, Mitch Headberg, Sam Kinison... Do not give up on comedy. So many legends are still alive. Bill Murray, Steve Martin, Steven Wright, Jim Carrey, Dave Chappelle. You will laugh again and again my friend!
....Joan Rivers?
michele stewart I had the same reaction
I miss this man so much. A true good soul and comedy genius.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face,...
Wow 😂 only discovering this Robin video now and it’s the best one yet i’am in tears here. And thing is I used to watch Clive show and more than likely watched this when I a kid, Guarantee I never laughed this much. What a genius Robin was.
I will always miss him. Thanks for everything. R.I.P. Robin Williams
Thank god I own his films .
In the truest sense, he was... a Giant. I can't believe he's gone. I wish he'd done QI. Stephen Fry and Robin Williams... would've been epic.
look for interview with parkinson.
At least he did Whose Line Is It Anyway. Look it up
Just say hello to robin sit back and let him go genius
Robin, you were SO wonderful! I miss you...
Not "I"...we all miss him. We need him in our current situation.
Pussy! I love you!
😥 yes. Will miss him too.
This is the first footage of Robin Williams that I've watched since his death. For 5 years, I just haven't been able to bring myself to watch the things of his that I used to enjoy. I wish we could have done something to make you stay, Robin. I wish someone could have eased your pain, like you did ours;
It wasn't a matter of easing his pain. He had Lewy Body Dementia misdiagnosed in the media (not sure about his actual doctors) as Parkinsons. He left on his own terms which was way better than any other result from that illness.
@@T-1001 I did not know that. So basically he committed euthanasia...
@@LauWo That is what several of his friends have said anyway.
As most comments have said. What a guy! An absolute genius. Made me cry with laughter. Thank you for the upload.
This what I loved about Robin he changes tact so god damn fast its awesome, the interviewer hasn't got a chance in hell of keeping up with him. The world is not the same anymore without Robin , he just made people smile and laugh , just the name Robin Williams made people smile and l for one miss him .
Godspeed Robin
LOVED this video!! There's SO many he's made and this just made my day. Can anyone keep a straight face around him? NO. I'm with Rich, on this one. My face hurts too, from laughing and grinning SO much!! Robin Williams will always live on forever in our hearts!! He knew how to entertain us and keep us laughing.
Robin was truly a gift
Havent seen this before..My God..Robin was fast..whew!
Robin Williams is the comedy gold standard. So funny.
This man never quit for a single second of his life. Just pure comedy 27/8.
27/8?
He quit life.
5 years today 💔
Mark O'Sullivan miss that genie
Funny, deep and intelligent. Man what a guy. Thank you for uploading this video, i haven’t laughed that much in a while 😂
He was definitely one of a kind. Genius.
Leo B l
Has it only been 5 years? It feels like longer
He must be such a pleasure to interview, you don't have to do any homework, ZERO preparation, just turn him loose and Robin does it all himself, does he ever turn off? he burned too bright, like a shooting star, he burned himself out, we were lucky to be here to see him flashing across our lives
As soon as he goes on stage..... instant switch mode turned to Robin Turbo. Master of humour....
It's a shame he is gone. His comedy will last forever though.
He’s still on QI from time to time.
RIP Robin, the funniest improv comedian to have ever walked the planet
Anderson couldn't do his usual pathetic put down humour with the mighty Robin, despite his efforts....so he just had to die on stage for 10 minutes and watch a real genius at work! R.I.P.
what ismyname exactly what i wanted to say! Robin handed his ass to him.
I respectfully beg to disagree. Anderson has mediocre guests which he has to interact with. I felt he was delighted to have this force of nature and he looked like he enjoyed it. @@LockedInTheZoo
I'm not a fan of Anderson and I agree with "An na", Anderson has a kind of put down humour and I find it distasteful. Anderson used that on Roger Moore once, but Roger being the gentleman he is, took it in his stride and dealt with it with extreme class. Robin is hilarious and it's GOLD to see him dominate on this show lol. Putting someone down is a cheap way to get laughs and it shows a lack of talent.
Robin is too fast. also Clive has to fill time too usually.
@jonybeam Personally I think Simon Amstel is the wittiest - look at his Popworld days
Thank you for this. R.I.P Robin, you will never be forgotten
we've lost not only one man, but many many wonderful men in him.
He was so, so quick. His mind was just extraordinary.
Michael Mueller --- I know , how he comes up with this wild n crazy stuff, off the top of his head or in his head , amazing , gifted
Robin Williams was a one hell of a good actor, especially in serious roles. I miss him, he was one of those people that made other laugh while inside they were struggling with pain.Tragedy and comedy a very thin line
Indeed.
Juliard trained
He is still the funniest man on the planet. Everytime I go online I do a search for him. Think I've seen the most of Mr. Williams but once in a while I get to see something new. RIP Dear Captain...
Man , he could made a joke out of ANYTHING in 1 second , jesus , his mind was on speedlight !!!
his brain is just working at an unreal rate the way he's able to think of a joke that quick with whatever topic gets brought up
Watching this in 2021. Still in awe of Robin Williams' genius. Clive Anderson seems totally out of his depth in this interview.
