“I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone.” - Robin Williams
Met Mr. Williams at a famous toy store in San Francisco. He was scanning comic books and I was across from him. I said “Hey, has anyone ever said ‘you look like Robin Williams?’.” He replied “Yah, my mom” he continued to shot the shit with me and waited for his kids to finish shopping. Class act, the guy was humble and yet had a simmering energy about him. R.I.P.
@@richardjones3792 he'd go to US military bases abroad and tell jokes and words of encouragement for the troops (pro bono) and he was just a radiant source of light in a dark world for allot of us. When I think of my childhood Robin Williams is one of the first things that comes to mind. Being 5 years old and the only vhs we had was Flubber, he was never not entertaining to watch in any of his films. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but the man had a heart of gold and a beautiful mind, I loved watching the man's performances my whole life; I can't say that about too many comedians/actors that I'm a huge fan of now. Understandable if you don't have that type of attachment to him but allot of people do.
Imagine Robin on stage or an interview talking about COVID-19 and the constant quarantining we have to do, he would make it hilarious just off the cuff.
Robin Williams was far from just a comedian, the man had real heart and people felt that, he wasn’t loved just for making people laugh although he was great at that too! RIP Robin always cherished never forgotten 💙
His interaction with Coco the gorilla was really touching,if you haven't seen it.And there's also a video of her handler giving her the news of him in sign language.
@MorrolanLavode I think it was on the episode where they were talking about Schumer (or Mencia maybe it’s been a while) stealing jokes. He said that he stole jokes but he wasn’t sure if it was intentional because it was during his rapid fire machine gun joke style bits. Fuck if I know what episode. You don’t have to believe me but it definitely happened.
@@jerod5636 it's common knowledge in the industry. It was even talked about in the book about the golden age of standup, which was the source material for that serrlies, "I'm Dying Up Here".
1 hour photo was the first time I saw Robin play a really dark character. He completely subverted my expectations and his performance remains memorable to this day.
So serendipitous that this was posted 2 hrs ago. I’ve been going down a Robin rabbit hole, and really learning about his life. Just a beautiful soul, decent man, and treasure to comedy... hope he’s in peace
I met him once while I was deployed to Iraq, he was such a humble funny genuine individual I will always be such a huge fan of him, may he rest in peace
Man I'm only 20 years old but when I heard the news, I was heartbroken. I grew up with just a few of his movies on my VHS player and would watch them over and over until it was time to go to bed. Godbless the geniuses like Robin that inspire and fuel the world.
Same with Stan Lee I've learned more from these movies than anything else in life growing up w no parents they were like family to me life sucks sometimes
Still feel like crying when I remember hearing the news of his death. Robin was one of the top tier talents who ever lived, totally unique, and the world didn't deserve him.
The loss of Robin Williams was such a huge impact because he wasn't just a comedian, actor, entertainer... he was a humble person you could relate to! He helped people! He was a man of the arts and grew with generations of people! He could connect with anyone, young or old! RIP
Robin Williams, man. I love he put that, "The best acting comes from people who aren't acting." Robin wasn't acting in his film roles, the man felt the script and made it his life in that moment. Legend RIP, a true one of a kind.
His death was really hard on me , watching him all my childhood such a man ex sister & I never got a chance to meet him .. I still think about him all the time I dont think any other death hit me so hard apart from my own family & friends..
One of the only celebrities I've been genuinely upset to see pass away. His films were part of my childhood he was an absolute legend. Such a tragic loss to everyone he knew and everyone else not fortunate enough to know him. His shows for the US troops where so genuine, sympathetic and supportive aswell as hysterical. RIP 🥲.
@@harold3165 I wouldn't consider it disrespectful. Many other celebrities have had no impact on my life or their work holds no sentimental value to me personally. Tens of thousands of people die around the world every day, should I be sad for them all? To be effected by one person's death more than another is not to lessen the worth of another person.
There is a handful of celebrities that hit me hard when they're gone, and Robin Williams is not only one of them, he was the first that hit me. To this day my soul hurts when I think of Robin, Chester Bennington, Desmond Amofah aka Etika... people of Kyoto Animations. I am thankful to all of them, and have nothing but respect.
When Joe shared the story of Robin coming to his show and waiting in line to meet him. Instant chills and my eyes teared up. Can't explain it. It's just an insane amount of respect, humility and class the man had.
My friend worked on the TV show "The Crazy Ones," which was one of the last projects Robin worked on before he died. I was invited to LA for the post-production wrap party and it was absolutely surreal -- Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prince Jr sat next to me on a sofa and I was petrified to make eye contact, and I also got to hang out with Shooter McGavin from Happy Gilmore and met Chris D'elia's dad (yikes!). Unfortunately Robin could not attend because he was filming Night at the Museum 3, but he recorded a special message for everyone that they played on a projector and I'll never forget watching that and feeling like I was witness to something special, as he basically explained how much the crew meant to him and actually started to cry during his speech. I met a lot of production members and EVERYONE said he was the nicest celebrity they had worked with. Even my friend told me how on the very first day, Robin walked around and personally introduced himself to every single minor crew member (including my buddy), shook their hands and tried to make an effort to remember their names. A true class act and as someone who grew up watching his movies, I truly miss his presence in the world.
When he died I was pretty bummed. But when I watched Hook again(one of my fav films but didn’t make the connection when he died) & re-experienced the radiance & magic & hope in his role as Peter Pan that made such an impact on me, it really tore me apart. Watching the magic & beauty & wonder in his eyes in that film & now knowing how the story ended. Rip RW
Good Will Hunting was a great move that Robin Williams turned into an instant classic. The park bench scene is my favorite monologue in all of film. My second favorite is Quint’s USS Indianapolis speech in Jaws.
His death was really hard on me , watching him all my childhood such a man ex sisted & I never got a chance to meet him .. I still think about him all the time I dont think any other death hit me so hard apart from my own family & friends..
Robin Williams could do an interview and completely hijack it, in the most beautiful way ever. He went to Juilliard, mixed the training with his raw talent and became an improvizational god. There's one clip, Inside The Actors Studio (I think). He took a damn scarf and went into character, a lady in the front row nearly died of laughter. I'm South African and it just shows how great the man was, he reached hearts all over the world. I've seen every single one of films and he's stand-up is legendary too. Oh, and please go watch Dead Poets Society.
I started doing stand up in the mid 70s in LA at the Comedy Store and got to know Robin. A few years later I ran into him on the Paramount lot and he invited me to hang out while he was shooting Mork and Mindy. He was such an incredible force and at the same time gentle person.
Patch Adams is definitely in my top 5 Robin films. Have you seen "What dreams may come"? Another great film. So much imagination and heart in that one.
For someone I didn't know personally... My heart still aches when I think about how he is no longer with us. Growing up with Robin Williams is something I will cherish forever and have my children watch his movies and love as much as I do in order to keep his memory alive.
I was just watching some clips from Good Will Hunting earlier. Good God, the man was hilarious but he could also make you want to cry. A beautiful and talented soul. We were lucky to have had him.
I met a man who runs one of the top private security companies, doing security for all kinds of celebrities. He said their black list was full of celebrity assholes who would start fights and expect security to finish them -- and Robin Williams. However, the reason Robin was on their blacklist was because he was so insanely funny that he would make the team laugh so hard it was a liability for them, because the guys couldn't focus. True story.
One Hour Photo. Such a brilliant performance. I often think of an interview I saw with his son who said he shared his father with the world. What a gift.
Forrest Whittaker was in that opening scene. You could see genuine joy. Such a great movie. I was part of the Signal Corps 15th BG. There is a section in the Signal Corps Museum dedicated to the real life DJ and Robin Williams.
That dude was awesome, I was in iraq 03-04 our tour got stretched out to 18 months at 11-12 month point, morale was dead, he dropped by out of fuckin nowhere and had everyone rolling. he stayed beyond last minute, bodyguards or whoever was handling him literally pushing him away out of building as he keeps hitting us with jokes, could make humor out of anything he was ripping on all our higher ups appearance on way out. that dude brought laughs to the most serious tired, burned out and angry peoples. injected joy and laughs into frustration and despair. True Comedic Genius, i'm grateful to have experienced it first hand. It a shame he is gone, he could lift anyone out of sadness and make them forget about their own demons but couldn't face his own, RIP
His comedy was a flow state that branched out. Each line of hilarious thought led to a deeper layer of other hilarious thoughts, and it seamingly sprung up out of him. Dude was an absulolute genius
I never laughed at him on stage once. It just baffled me that everyone thought a coke head wearing suspenders and rambling was funny. Then wokring in comedy clubs back in the day, finding out he was mining unknown comics for material and was just a douche...oy. I do think his dramatic acting was extraordinary. Genius level.
@@travismiller1491 Even if he did, he was still a hell of a lot funnier than Joe Rogan could ever hope to be. In every interview I've seen him in he'd take the whole damn thing over. None of the hosts could keep up with him, so I know Joe Rogan wouldn't be able to.
The charecters he was able to play. Like One Hour Photo, Good Morning Vietnam, good will Hunting, Mrs. Doubtfire, Jack, Patch Adams, Mork from Ork, All so different. One of the best comedians of all time & one of the best actors in my lifetime.
Robin William's death was one of the most universally impactful deaths I can remember. So many people felt a connection to him...he left a massive hole.
His death was really hard on me , watching him all my childhood such a man ex sister & I never got a chance to meet him .. I still think about him all the time I dont think any other death hit me so hard apart from my own family & friends..
Robins role in the movie "Worlds Greatest Dad" was so haunting to watch after his passing. I still get very emotional watching the film. I'm thankful that Mr Williams decided to share his talents with the world while he was with us.
Robin Williams did a cameo appearance on Law and Order and it was the single greatest thing I’ve ever seen. He was unbelievable. Super underrated as an actor.
Robin was known to visit my hometown in the summer, he’d be spotted grabbing breakfast and reading the local news. He liked it here because it was so lowkey and for the most part he was left alone
I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone. _Robin Williams
I practically grew up with Robin. When he first appeared on Happy Days. Saw him live at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco with Miller and Whoopie. Best $25 I ever spent. My ribs were aching when I left the show. When I heard about his death, it was via Instagram on Vogue Brazil's feed. Brazil! It was worldwide news instantly! I couldn't believe it. But when I thought about it, it wasn't so hard to believe. Genius usually comes with a cost. And the bigger the genius.... Robin was one of the best that humanity had to offer. Far more than what he had to offer creatively. An amazing, lovely, person. The best.
Robin Williams' interview on The Actor's Studio w/James Lipton from 2001 is a fantastic example of just how humble, intelligent, creative, personable, and hilarious Robin truly was....you wanna learn about Robin Williams, search for that episode of The Actor's Studio....
hi Joe I’ve watched your videos for a really long time. I appreciate the different perspectives you share on your podcast. Thank you for the knowledge that you are passing on to the next generation.
I used to see robin williams at AA meetings in Sausalito. I never approached him conversation because I felt that it was inappropriate but it was so crazy seeing him there.
I spent a few months with him 12 years ago, he had SOOOO MUCH ENERGY inside of him, he was a smaller guy but when he would read out loud and tell a story...he had so much magic. He told his personal story of the past sitting next to me for about an hour, he was a real human dealing with real human tough life events. Robin was a amazing creative person that always wanted the next creative project, zero ego bullshit. It was a gift for me to spend that time with him
I was less sad about the deaths of people I actually know. I was like "Well, I guess it was just their time." Not so with Robin Williams. It's rare to feel connected with someone so deeply, and he did it from the other side of the screen or radio. It's called brilliance.
When I was 10 years old I was a huge Mork and Mindy fan, and I found out that Robin Williams and I had the same birthday. So I wrote him a letter, and he wrote me back a card that said "happy birthday to my birthday buddy from Mork from Ork" and he included a letter, handwritten in pencil, and that was pretty special.
Robin used to ride his bike all over town. I once walked into a bike shop on Union Street, and Robin was having his bike worked on. A couple goof balls were gawking. I started talking about Robin's bike with the repair guy. Robin was very quiet. He looked off, eyes aimed down, about chest high, no expression, observing.
As a man living with Bipolar myself, I can relate to the racing thoughts of Robbie Williams. As he has said himself. Him in public and him at home were two different persons. The depression that follows this condition is much worse than most people think. I can relate to that too. But for him it was much worse than "just" bipolar. Much worse... a lot of darkness.... In the last few interviews you can see it in his eyes. At least now that we know. I seem to remember that they found out that he had another condition as well after he died? I can't remember what it was. But his demons must have been out of this world, so to speak. His mind was racing all the time, no rest. I miss that man! He will never be forgotten. He was a beacon of light too many! ❤
The day he died I was at Disneyland and I was absolutely crushed. That very day we were at California adventure for the night show where the the genie shows up for a few funny moments, immediately the crowd erupted with clapping and people yelling, “We love you Robin!” Brought a legit tear to my eye :’(
This will seem controversial but I don't think Robin Williams's death was a tragedy. It was the onset of his dementia that was the real tragedy. He bowed out on his own terms while he still could and I respect that.
When a man loved by so many dies alone it is a tragedy. impromptu hanging after failed wrist slashing isn't exactly "bowing out" . it is an act of desperation after others have bowed out.
Yeah I read that his Lewy Body dementia had progressed to the point where he would try to walk through a door, bump into the door frame, then immediately collapse and shit himself. After being at the incredible highs he once had been, that must have been impossible to swallow.
I'm not saying it was okay, but I understand why he committed suicide. That disease he had is one of the worse things you can possibly suffer, my grandfather suffered from the same thing "Lewy body dementia"
Can you please have huge UFO panel with all of those guests you’ve had over the years Bob lazar, George knapp, Jeremy corbel, Christopher Mellon, James fox, Travis Walton, Jacques Vallée, David fravor, and anyone else you find. I think that would be amazing!
I'd disagree with that format. For me, the magic is a long conversation with just two people. It does work - Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock work very well together - but if you had a bunch of people on a panel I feel it never gets to go really deep into a topic.
One hour photo, good will hunting, dead poets society, hook, Mrs doubtfire... so many great films. He had a way of going from being the funny guy to just delivering these crazy deep moments too. Truly unique performer and person in general, was so gutted to hear he took his own life
Between Carlin and Williams no one could wax poetic and make you laugh more at political jokes. Their understanding let them rain comedy gold down on our countries political circus.
I was serving on the Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) back in 2003. It was Christmas and we were all miserable and being the Navy, far from home, especially during the holidays was a bummer for everyone. We all heard that some VIPs were coming courtesy of the USO and so as the news spread we were all taking bets on who was going to come. It ended up being Leann Tweeden, John Elway, Blake Clark, and …. Robin Williams! So Leann was super cool and spoke to us and thanked us for our service, Elway threw footballs around and compared the war on terror to the Broncos fighting Green Bay (🤣), Blake Clark did some awesome bits and spoke like he did on The Waterboy, and then Robin freaking Williams came out like a hurricane and made 5000 Sailors and Marines laugh until we had tears in our eyes. I’ll never forget - the Airedales had painted a giant snake 🐍 on the hangar bay doors (if I can be permitted to be real, they were better at being Airedales than artists). The first thing that comes out of Robin Williams’s mouth was ‘Holy shit! An effeminate snake, Darwin would have a field day!’ He did some of his best bits including the invention of golf. I got to meet him, and being Christmas and all, I have him a fake Breitling I purchased in some dusty soukh, and he laughed and shook my hand and he thanked me. I told him that after I got out, I’d become an actor and one day I would work with him. He told me I was funny and he hoped to see me on set. To this day, it was the best Christmas I’ve ever had. In the middle of the Persian Gulf, on a carrier, when someone sacrificed his own Christmas to make a few of US laugh. Thank you Mr. Williams. I never did get to work with you, but I carry your spirit whenever I do act. -Burt
my depression was literally caused by lack of sunshine I had a vitamin D deficiency a decade ago I was obese(452lbs.),and was type 2 diabetes my doctor put me on 50,000 i.u.of vitamin D twice weekly. now I weigh 205,barely remember my depression,and I'm about to go jogging
The closest I’ve ever been with my mom was right after Robin’s death. I’ll never forget her face when she told me. We spent the day watching Patch Adams, Dead Poets Society, and Good Will Hunting. We never got along before or after that but it was something I’ll never forget.
I met him once in New York City with his daughter, I was working in a store called DC shoes in New York City Soho, he came in there making these voices, he didn’t have any security with him.
I remember when I was transferred to San Francisco, I wanted to see comedy. Lipps Cafe, sold out, Cobbs Pub, sold out, The Other Cafe, sold out, "Okay, the 11 o'clock..." sold out. I went to Ha Ha-a Go Go, 3 comedians, all sucked. Robin just walked in and did a bit. Better than any calendar Ed gig I ever saw.
I remember my mom used to subscribe to Reader's Digest and I used to read certain things while I'd take a shit...mostly the humorous anecdotes like "Humor In Uniform", "Laughter is the Best Medicine", etc. Anyway, there was an article in one that I read about Christopher Reeve...it was an interview with him; and he was talking about how right after his accident and subsequent surgeries he was sitting there, depressed AF because life was no longer going to be the same and how it was going to be a long arduous journey to come to grips with that concept...So he was sitting there and he had a visitor come to see him...the gentleman walked in, dressed like a dr. and started speaking with a German accent...then he said something about "turning the patient over for a proctology exam", and that's when Reeve realized it was Robin Williams. That story always stuck with me, and how great it must have been to have a friend like Williams who was there for you in your darkest hour...and then it makes me a little sad to think about how lonely Williams must've been when he committed suicide. No one to walk in, making proctology jokes. It's not that I blame any of his friends for not being there...I think most of them had no idea he was suffering. It just makes me sad a little bit.
It’s amazingly rare to look at comments on a celebrity and see nothing but love. What an amazing affect Robin had on people. My guess is because he let his work speak for him. So rare these days.
Whenever I watch a JRE video, I have a few more tabs open to research/lookup the amazing things you get to know. Informational and entertaining. That's all you need from a show.
I had the amazing honor of meeting and spending a little time with Robin twice. He was an absolute genius in person, so quick, so kind. He went into a friend's home in La Jolla and I could see him through the windows (not peeping, I was his driver) and it was as if you could see a million-watt light bulb was turned on in the middle of a small crowd as he responded to the attention. The world became a smaller place when he died. BTW, he was a student at Julliard for nearly 4 years and trained in Shakespearean theater.
I love Joe and have defended him a lot over the years but he is getting more and more disconnected from reality. He is getting to the point where he acts like everyone is comfortable and happy with life like him and it's making him look silly more and more often This dude has dedicated his life to comedy and is surrounded by comedians many of which have killed themselves or ruined their lives (some being his own friends) directly or through addictions and mental health struggles but "everything is mostly cool with us"
Robin Williams is my favourite Comedian slash Actor of all time. I was born in the mid/late 80's so I was a child during the 1990's and my favourite two childhood movies of ALL-TIME are Mrs. Doubtfire and Hook. Jumanji is a good movie but isn't close to as good as Hook or Mrs Doubtfire. Hook is to me is one of the best childhood movies ever. Heck I'm in my early 30s now and I just watched Hook a couple months ago. Williams was one of the best comedic actors of all time. I never cry in my life but I did the day he died, Williams touched so many lives across the country and was such a great person from what I've heard about him, no one has a bad thing to say about the guy.
Good morning Vietnam is another cult classic. My father LOVED that movie, he was a Vietnam vet himself. I loved that movie. Joe is right when he says he had such great range as an actor.

Robin Williams, man. I love he put that, "The best acting comes from people who aren't acting." Robin wasn't acting in his film roles, the man felt the script and made it his life in that moment. Legend RIP, a true one of a kind.

One of the only celebrities I've been genuinely upset to see pass away. His films were part of my childhood he was an absolute legend. Such a tragic loss to everyone he knew and everyone else not fortunate enough to know him. His shows for the US troops where so genuine, sympathetic and supportive aswell as hysterical. RIP 🥲.
Robin Williams and Anthony Bourdain were both losses that upset me.
@@amandachadwick3696 facts both legends
Why do people always say this?! It's pretty disrespectful to all the other celebrities who have died. They're human too.
@@harold3165 I wouldn't consider it disrespectful. Many other celebrities have had no impact on my life or their work holds no sentimental value to me personally. Tens of thousands of people die around the world every day, should I be sad for them all? To be effected by one person's death more than another is not to lessen the worth of another person.
There is a handful of celebrities that hit me hard when they're gone, and Robin Williams is not only one of them, he was the first that hit me. To this day my soul hurts when I think of Robin, Chester Bennington, Desmond Amofah aka Etika... people of Kyoto Animations. I am thankful to all of them, and have nothing but respect.
I dont know any of those names
Etika was tragic. I still miss his streams
@@jessebremner5209 heard abt linkin park, the rock band? Chester was the lead singer.
@@pauljnellissery7096 ah yes..of course..good call
The one that hit me was Steve Irwin, that guy was full of life
I'm so glad I was a kid when he was "Mork From Ork"! What a great way to be introduced to him.
because of
When Joe shared the story of Robin coming to his show and waiting in line to meet him. Instant chills and my eyes teared up. Can't explain it. It's just an insane amount of respect, humility and class the man had.
My friend worked on the TV show "The Crazy Ones," which was one of the last projects Robin worked on before he died. I was invited to LA for the post-production wrap party and it was absolutely surreal -- Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prince Jr sat next to me on a sofa and I was petrified to make eye contact, and I also got to hang out with Shooter McGavin from Happy Gilmore and met Chris D'elia's dad (yikes!). Unfortunately Robin could not attend because he was filming Night at the Museum 3, but he recorded a special message for everyone that they played on a projector and I'll never forget watching that and feeling like I was witness to something special, as he basically explained how much the crew meant to him and actually started to cry during his speech. I met a lot of production members and EVERYONE said he was the nicest celebrity they had worked with. Even my friend told me how on the very first day, Robin walked around and personally introduced himself to every single minor crew member (including my buddy), shook their hands and tried to make an effort to remember their names. A true class act and as someone who grew up watching his movies, I truly miss his presence in the world.
When he died I was pretty bummed. But when I watched Hook again(one of my fav films but didn’t make the connection when he died) & re-experienced the radiance & magic & hope in his role as Peter Pan that made such an impact on me, it really tore me apart. Watching the magic & beauty & wonder in his eyes in that film & now knowing how the story ended.
Rip RW
Ugh I know 🥺
the first radio show from good morning Vietnam is incredible
good to
Good Will Hunting was a great move that Robin Williams turned into an instant classic. The park bench scene is my favorite monologue in all of film. My second favorite is Quint’s USS Indianapolis speech in Jaws.
... like a doll's eyes ...
the bench scene is incredible...I wish I could watch it again for the first time...
Such a cool story about meeting Robin. I miss the light and laughter he brought to this world. I cried the day he died.
Me too.
His death was really hard on me , watching him all my childhood such a man ex sisted & I never got a chance to meet him .. I still think about him all the time I dont think any other death hit me so hard apart from my own family & friends..
Robin chose to go out on his own terms. A legend.
Good night, sweet prince.
Gone too soon.
Robin Williams could do an interview and completely hijack it, in the most beautiful way ever. He went to Juilliard, mixed the training with his raw talent and became an improvizational god. There's one clip, Inside The Actors Studio (I think). He took a damn scarf and went into character, a lady in the front row nearly died of laughter.
I'm South African and it just shows how great the man was, he reached hearts all over the world. I've seen every single one of films and he's stand-up is legendary too. Oh, and please go watch Dead Poets Society.
Long live Robin!!! Loved him!
I started doing stand up in the mid 70s in LA at the Comedy Store and got to know Robin. A few years later I ran into him on the Paramount lot and he invited me to hang out while he was shooting Mork and Mindy. He was such an incredible force and at the same time gentle person.
I just watched Patch Adam's for the 1st time, truly one of a kind. R.I.P.
That one's a tear jerker for sure.
Patch Adams is definitely in my top 5 Robin films. Have you seen "What dreams may come"? Another great film. So much imagination and heart in that one.
Incredible how we all in the world felt his passing as if it was one of our own relatives. Long live Captain Robin Williams. Love from Portugal.
We all miss Robin.
For someone I didn't know personally... My heart still aches when I think about how he is no longer with us. Growing up with Robin Williams is something I will cherish forever and have my children watch his movies and love as much as I do in order to keep his memory alive.
I was just watching some clips from Good Will Hunting earlier. Good God, the man was hilarious but he could also make you want to cry. A beautiful and talented soul. We were lucky to have had him.
Dead Poets Society remains my favorite Robin Williams performance 🥺 the scene where he tells the boys ”what will your verse be?”
I met a man who runs one of the top private security companies, doing security for all kinds of celebrities. He said their black list was full of celebrity assholes who would start fights and expect security to finish them -- and Robin Williams. However, the reason Robin was on their blacklist was because he was so insanely funny that he would make the team laugh so hard it was a liability for them, because the guys couldn't focus. True story.
One Hour Photo. Such a brilliant performance. I often think of an interview I saw with his son who said he shared his father with the world. What a gift.
Forrest Whittaker was in that opening scene. You could see genuine joy. Such a great movie. I was part of the Signal Corps 15th BG. There is a section in the Signal Corps Museum dedicated to the real life DJ and Robin Williams.
Juney Smith behind the glass, and Robert Wuhl behind the other glass.
That dude was awesome, I was in iraq 03-04 our tour got stretched out to 18 months at 11-12 month point, morale was dead, he dropped by out of fuckin nowhere and had everyone rolling. he stayed beyond last minute, bodyguards or whoever was handling him literally pushing him away out of building as he keeps hitting us with jokes, could make humor out of anything he was ripping on all our higher ups appearance on way out. that dude brought laughs to the most serious tired, burned out and angry peoples. injected joy and laughs into frustration and despair. True Comedic Genius, i'm grateful to have experienced it first hand. It a shame he is gone, he could lift anyone out of sadness and make them forget about their own demons but couldn't face his own, RIP
His comedy was a flow state that branched out. Each line of hilarious thought led to a deeper layer of other hilarious thoughts, and it seamingly sprung up out of him. Dude was an absulolute genius
I never laughed at him on stage once. It just baffled me that everyone thought a coke head wearing suspenders and rambling was funny. Then wokring in comedy clubs back in the day, finding out he was mining unknown comics for material and was just a douche...oy. I do think his dramatic acting was extraordinary. Genius level.
"Flow state" lol
@@20FreeWill yes. its a term in psychology
@@catherineshaw1122 I agree dude stole jokes.
@@travismiller1491 Even if he did, he was still a hell of a lot funnier than Joe Rogan could ever hope to be. In every interview I've seen him in he'd take the whole damn thing over. None of the hosts could keep up with him, so I know Joe Rogan wouldn't be able to.
his brother McLauren Smith-Williams was my junior year science teacher. when Robin died we had a kind of ceremony at school for him
The charecters he was able to play. Like One Hour Photo, Good Morning Vietnam, good will Hunting, Mrs. Doubtfire, Jack, Patch Adams, Mork from Ork, All so different. One of the best comedians of all time & one of the best actors in my lifetime.
Robin William's death was one of the most universally impactful deaths I can remember.
So many people felt a connection to him...he left a massive hole.
His death was really hard on me , watching him all my childhood such a man ex sister & I never got a chance to meet him .. I still think about him all the time I dont think any other death hit me so hard apart from my own family & friends..
Robins role in the movie "Worlds Greatest Dad" was so haunting to watch after his passing. I still get very emotional watching the film. I'm thankful that Mr Williams decided to share his talents with the world while he was with us.
Robin Williams did a cameo appearance on Law and Order and it was the single greatest thing I’ve ever seen. He was unbelievable. Super underrated as an actor.
Saw this yesterday, I was blown away.
Pretty sure it's common knowledge that he's one of the greats
I saw it in the hospital. It was a great performance, as he’s known to do.
Watch Shakes the Clown, he's in that too.
Robin was known to visit my hometown in the summer, he’d be spotted grabbing breakfast and reading the local news. He liked it here because it was so lowkey and for the most part he was left alone
I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone.
_Robin Williams
@Mike Sullivan talk about missing the point.
@Mike Sullivan you have zero desire to actually discern that, I'm not feeding your argumentative crap. Good luck.
@Mike Sullivan whatever you say, troll.
@Mike Sullivan OK troll, lol.
I practically grew up with Robin. When he first appeared on Happy Days. Saw him live at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco with Miller and Whoopie. Best $25 I ever spent. My ribs were aching when I left the show.
When I heard about his death, it was via Instagram on Vogue Brazil's feed. Brazil! It was worldwide news instantly! I couldn't believe it. But when I thought about it, it wasn't so hard to believe. Genius usually comes with a cost. And the bigger the genius....
Robin was one of the best that humanity had to offer. Far more than what he had to offer creatively. An amazing, lovely, person.
The best.
We were in Disneyland when he passed and they did a huge tribute to him using the Genie footage.. it was special.. RIP
Robin Williams' interview on The Actor's Studio w/James Lipton from 2001 is a fantastic example of just how humble, intelligent, creative, personable, and hilarious Robin truly was....you wanna learn about Robin Williams, search for that episode of The Actor's Studio....
What dreams may come still makes me emotional.
Top tier movie for sure I grew up watching all his movies as a kid, RIP Robin Williams ❤
hi Joe I’ve watched your videos for a really long time. I appreciate the different perspectives you share on your podcast. Thank you for the knowledge that you are passing on to the next generation.
Junger: Robin Williams was a genius and we were so lucky to have had him
Rogan: He waited in line to tell me how funny I am
I used to see robin williams at AA meetings in Sausalito. I never approached him conversation because I felt that it was inappropriate but it was so crazy seeing him there.
when Robin Williams passed away I stopped finding joy and a lot of things the world became a little darker I really miss the man
I spent a few months with him 12 years ago, he had SOOOO MUCH ENERGY inside of him, he was a smaller guy but when he would read out loud and tell a story...he had so much magic. He told his personal story of the past sitting next to me for about an hour, he was a real human dealing with real human tough life events. Robin was a amazing creative person that always wanted the next creative project, zero ego bullshit. It was a gift for me to spend that time with him
The movie Jack had me crying hard when I was a kid.
Nice tribute - I'll watch it twice.
Robin Williams had full blown theater skills. It's hard to believe he'd give up.
I was less sad about the deaths of people I actually know. I was like "Well, I guess it was just their time."
Not so with Robin Williams. It's rare to feel connected with someone so deeply, and he did it from the other side of the screen or radio. It's called brilliance.
When I was 10 years old I was a huge Mork and Mindy fan, and I found out that Robin Williams and I had the same birthday. So I wrote him a letter, and he wrote me back a card that said "happy birthday to my birthday buddy from Mork from Ork" and he included a letter, handwritten in pencil, and that was pretty special.
robin williams is comedy actor goat status
I met Robin in Kuwait in 03 after he did a set for us. He was so funny and then seemed shy off stage. He actually sat down and ate with us.
His stand up from back in the day when he did the bit of “The American Flag 🇺🇸” was the best!!!
Robin used to ride his bike all over town. I once walked into a bike shop on Union Street, and Robin was having his bike worked on. A couple goof balls were gawking. I started talking about Robin's bike with the repair guy. Robin was very quiet. He looked off, eyes aimed down, about chest high, no expression, observing.
The world misses Robin Williams and James Gandolfini.
Those two hit so hard.
As a man living with Bipolar myself, I can relate to the racing thoughts of Robbie Williams. As he has said himself. Him in public and him at home were two different persons. The depression that follows this condition is much worse than most people think. I can relate to that too. But for him it was much worse than "just" bipolar. Much worse... a lot of darkness.... In the last few interviews you can see it in his eyes. At least now that we know. I seem to remember that they found out that he had another condition as well after he died? I can't remember what it was. But his demons must have been out of this world, so to speak. His mind was racing all the time, no rest.
I miss that man! He will never be forgotten. He was a beacon of light too many! ❤
His movie The Final Cut is criminally underrated
Worlds greatest dad is also really good
The day he died I was at Disneyland and I was absolutely crushed. That very day we were at California adventure for the night show where the the genie shows up for a few funny moments, immediately the crowd erupted with clapping and people yelling, “We love you Robin!” Brought a legit tear to my eye :’(
This will seem controversial but I don't think Robin Williams's death was a tragedy. It was the onset of his dementia that was the real tragedy. He bowed out on his own terms while he still could and I respect that.
When a man loved by so many dies alone it is a tragedy.
impromptu hanging after failed wrist slashing isn't exactly "bowing out" .
it is an act of desperation after others have bowed out.
Yeah I read that his Lewy Body dementia had progressed to the point where he would try to walk through a door, bump into the door frame, then immediately collapse and shit himself.
After being at the incredible highs he once had been, that must have been impossible to swallow.
I met Robin Williams in Afghanistan, he was doing shows for the Military, the man was a genius.
I'm not saying it was okay, but I understand why he committed suicide. That disease he had is one of the worse things you can possibly suffer, my grandfather suffered from the same thing "Lewy body dementia"
RIP Robin, I grew up with you seeing you on Happy Day's. Man I miss you. True comedic genius.
Can you please have huge UFO panel with all of those guests you’ve had over the years
Bob lazar, George knapp, Jeremy corbel, Christopher Mellon, James fox,
Travis Walton, Jacques Vallée, David fravor, and anyone else you find. I think that would be amazing!
Thanks for not including Tom Delonge.
I'd disagree with that format. For me, the magic is a long conversation with just two people. It does work - Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock work very well together - but if you had a bunch of people on a panel I feel it never gets to go really deep into a topic.
One hour photo, good will hunting, dead poets society, hook, Mrs doubtfire... so many great films. He had a way of going from being the funny guy to just delivering these crazy deep moments too. Truly unique performer and person in general, was so gutted to hear he took his own life
Between Carlin and Williams no one could wax poetic and make you laugh more at political jokes. Their understanding let them rain comedy gold down on our countries political circus.
Yeah, but Carlin was never a big blue genie
Carlin, Pryor and Hicks changed my perspective. But no one made me laugh like Robin Williams.
I was serving on the Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) back in 2003. It was Christmas and we were all miserable and being the Navy, far from home, especially during the holidays was a bummer for everyone.
We all heard that some VIPs were coming courtesy of the USO and so as the news spread we were all taking bets on who was going to come.
It ended up being Leann Tweeden, John Elway, Blake Clark, and …. Robin Williams!
So Leann was super cool and spoke to us and thanked us for our service, Elway threw footballs around and compared the war on terror to the Broncos fighting Green Bay (🤣), Blake Clark did some awesome bits and spoke like he did on The Waterboy, and then Robin freaking Williams came out like a hurricane and made 5000 Sailors and Marines laugh until we had tears in our eyes. I’ll never forget - the Airedales had painted a giant snake 🐍 on the hangar bay doors (if I can be permitted to be real, they were better at being Airedales than artists). The first thing that comes out of Robin Williams’s mouth was ‘Holy shit! An effeminate snake, Darwin would have a field day!’
He did some of his best bits including the invention of golf. I got to meet him, and being Christmas and all, I have him a fake Breitling I purchased in some dusty soukh, and he laughed and shook my hand and he thanked me. I told him that after I got out, I’d become an actor and one day I would work with him. He told me I was funny and he hoped to see me on set. To this day, it was the best Christmas I’ve ever had. In the middle of the Persian Gulf, on a carrier, when someone sacrificed his own Christmas to make a few of US laugh. Thank you Mr. Williams. I never did get to work with you, but I carry your spirit whenever I do act.

my depression was literally caused by lack of sunshine
I had a vitamin D deficiency a decade ago
I was obese(452lbs.),and was type 2 diabetes
my doctor put me on 50,000 i.u.of vitamin D twice weekly.
now I weigh 205,barely remember my depression,and I'm about to go jogging
The closest I’ve ever been with my mom was right after Robin’s death. I’ll never forget her face when she told me. We spent the day watching Patch Adams, Dead Poets Society, and Good Will Hunting. We never got along before or after that but it was something I’ll never forget.
What Dreams May Come was my favorite movie.
Movie chokes me up every time I watch it.
If you've ever lost someone you love, that movie will get ya right in the feels. Hard to watch without tearing up but definitely worth it
@@andrewanderson1777 100%
Joe is such a great speaker. Speaks his mind, makes his observation but doesn't judge. Love that.
Rob William's was one of a kind
A true artist he took chances to make great art.
I met him once in New York City with his daughter, I was working in a store called DC shoes in New York City Soho, he came in there making these voices, he didn’t have any security with him.
I always thought Bono looked like Robin Williams. Was it just me or you too?
I remember when I was transferred to San Francisco, I wanted to see comedy. Lipps Cafe, sold out, Cobbs Pub, sold out, The Other Cafe, sold out, "Okay, the 11 o'clock..." sold out. I went to Ha Ha-a Go Go, 3 comedians, all sucked. Robin just walked in and did a bit. Better than any calendar Ed gig I ever saw.
Long Live Robin Williams ❤
He's dead, you plank 🤦🏻♂️
I remember my mom used to subscribe to Reader's Digest and I used to read certain things while I'd take a shit...mostly the humorous anecdotes like "Humor In Uniform", "Laughter is the Best Medicine", etc. Anyway, there was an article in one that I read about Christopher Reeve...it was an interview with him; and he was talking about how right after his accident and subsequent surgeries he was sitting there, depressed AF because life was no longer going to be the same and how it was going to be a long arduous journey to come to grips with that concept...So he was sitting there and he had a visitor come to see him...the gentleman walked in, dressed like a dr. and started speaking with a German accent...then he said something about "turning the patient over for a proctology exam", and that's when Reeve realized it was Robin Williams.
That story always stuck with me, and how great it must have been to have a friend like Williams who was there for you in your darkest hour...and then it makes me a little sad to think about how lonely Williams must've been when he committed suicide. No one to walk in, making proctology jokes. It's not that I blame any of his friends for not being there...I think most of them had no idea he was suffering. It just makes me sad a little bit.
Robin: Passed Awayyyy
Everyone: Rest in Peace!
It’s amazingly rare to look at comments on a celebrity and see nothing but love. What an amazing affect Robin had on people. My guess is because he let his work speak for him. So rare these days.
Robin: Passed Awayyyyy
Everyone: Rest in Peace
Whenever I watch a JRE video, I have a few more tabs open to research/lookup the amazing things you get to know. Informational and entertaining. That's all you need from a show.
the ultimate irony the the "the joke thief" on the guys show who protects jokes from said thievery
I had the amazing honor of meeting and spending a little time with Robin twice. He was an absolute genius in person, so quick, so kind. He went into a friend's home in La Jolla and I could see him through the windows (not peeping, I was his driver) and it was as if you could see a million-watt light bulb was turned on in the middle of a small crowd as he responded to the attention. The world became a smaller place when he died. BTW, he was a student at Julliard for nearly 4 years and trained in Shakespearean theater.
I love Joe and have defended him a lot over the years but he is getting more and more disconnected from reality.
He is getting to the point where he acts like everyone is comfortable and happy with life like him and it's making him look silly more and more often
This dude has dedicated his life to comedy and is surrounded by comedians many of which have killed themselves or ruined their lives (some being his own friends) directly or through addictions and mental health struggles but "everything is mostly cool with us"
Robin Williams is my favourite Comedian slash Actor of all time. I was born in the mid/late 80's so I was a child during the 1990's and my favourite two childhood movies of ALL-TIME are Mrs. Doubtfire and Hook. Jumanji is a good movie but isn't close to as good as Hook or Mrs Doubtfire. Hook is to me is one of the best childhood movies ever. Heck I'm in my early 30s now and I just watched Hook a couple months ago. Williams was one of the best comedic actors of all time. I never cry in my life but I did the day he died, Williams touched so many lives across the country and was such a great person from what I've heard about him, no one has a bad thing to say about the guy.
Good morning Vietnam is another cult classic. My father LOVED that movie, he was a Vietnam vet himself. I loved that movie. Joe is right when he says he had such great range as an actor.
