Billy Crystal Remembers His Friend, Robin Williams

[@mer1921]

I'm watching this almost 6 years later and I'm still not over the fact that he's gone.

[@RobertBenedikts]

I still miss Robin so much.

[@cobrasys]

Same.

[@ritaveronicaelvakerhaande7623]

He was a man who showed humanity wrapped in one person.

[@califcamper]

Same my friend..

[@vishwanathg5661]

Mee too bro still miss in 2020

[@frankinsaneandmyrrh1202]

The way Billy lit up when Jimmy said he had a story about Robin made me tear up.

[@nickixxxx6221]

I know that was so cute

[@KellyPettit]

I still search for Robin stuff on KZbin all the time. Still miss him. Still makes me laugh. Thank you Mr. Williams for your amazing talent and good nature. RIP

[@Reflex-lc7wb]

Luckily we live in the time of KZbin and the Internet where we have access to an unlimited supply of Robin Williams material. I miss seeing him on all the late night talk shows

Too true...I was crying watching his tribute to Robin Williams, just heart wrenching and so sweet at the same time.

And then Billy Crystal stood up in the end and the tears just flooded down my face.

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

I held it together until that moment and I thought to myself, "Jesus that's perfect" and I cried. :*)

Yea, i can totally relate :)

[@guillermocastillo8488]

I KNOW, WHAT IS IT?!

[@onpsxmember]

I felt the same about Ryan Dunn. I never met him...just so damn likable. Just happy to see him doing something. Sad that he made that dumb decision.

[@presleypaige5144]

Because we connected with the funny, meaningful characters he played

[@presleypaige5144]

onpsxmember I love jackass and I felt that loss

[@ISBuckley8]

That bus sounds freaking legendary. Some of the funniest actors together on one bus, and I loved how Robin wasn't afraid to make fun of himself. He truly was one of a kind, and I still miss him even today

[@meganmars7719]

a friend of mine made a picture with him and wrote on it: "It's so strange that we now live in a world without Robin Williams in it." My God, how true that is! He's such a huge part of our history!!

[@lukericketts4055]

Robin Williams will forever be missed, such an undeniable talent that simply cannot be matched

[@theHardyMonster1984]

I am 31 years old and Robin William's death was the first celebrity passing where I thought a part of my childhood had died.

[@locutus99]

+Blake Hardy That's how I felt when River Phoenix died. I have a few years on you.

[@theHardyMonster1984]

This was me when Michael Jackson died. I was equally as shocked when Robin passed. Extremely tragic.

[@alyssapeet4683]

i cannot believe the world has been without robin for ten years. his movies were my childhood. it breaks my heart and makes me happy at the same time to see clips of him 🥺

[@SchoolofMNRock]

Nicest guy ever. I can't believe I got to meet him and talk to him. He will always be missed. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Rest in peace Robin Williams you will be missed.

[@Cappas51]

Bet you wish more people had followed up with questions

[@pattypalermo3891]

No matter how much time passes I will always shed a tear when I see Billy talk about Robin.

[@TokyoKazama]

Wow, those were some good stories. Robin Williams was, sorry *is* a legend - in every sense of the word.

[@Grubbyalien]

Legend? Disagree. The legends are the people who live with depression and mental illness who dont commit suicide.

[@locker47]

***** For me, legendary status is bestowed to those whose contributions outweigh their demise, and their life continues to inspire generations. Suicide is a difficult issue, but we shouldn't devalue their worth to humanity even if they took their own lives.

[@TokyoKazama]

Damn, I feel like watching 'Father's Day' again, haha!

[@signus201]

[@CanadianRM4]

@locker, I agree.

[@desmondbarry4447]

I was Robins Landlord back in the "Mork & Mindy" days he had an apartment at "Peyton Hall" in Hollywood, so did McLane Stevenson, of Mash, Robin was such a shy person It's incredible to think he's gone now

[@morrisal]

j.denino57 Haven't you heard that the biggest 'clowns' are the shyest people in private? Haven't you heard that they all cry inside whereas in the public eye they are just "funny and loud big kids"? Think of Charlie Chaplin. Do you think in private he was "funny" and made hilarious stunts all the time? No way. Comedians are usually the most bitter and melancholic people in the world. And they're generally very lonely. "Funny" very rarely means "happy". I know it, because im a clown type too.

[@napachick100]

morrisal Me too. I like to make people laugh at work, when I come home, not a good feeling. It is funny when you are funny, but no body understands it is a Defense, against the cruel and angry world we live in. But when no one is around we are not that funny because we live in our own mind.

[@mstwelvedeadlycyns]

[@brandonguindon1056]

Thank you so much for sharing!

[@5greatdayswithhim636]

Billy always comes across as real genuine. You know, kind of like that "warm-hearted neighbor you sit with and drink coffee while talking about anything and everything all morning long" kind of neighbor. You walk away knowing "today is going to be a good day".... that is the type of person he has always reminded me of.

[@rhondamaddux7828]

Very Beloved, Robin is

[@gusnorthamptonshire2651]

Absolutely 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@douglaspatrick868]

@@cottoncandyfriends8933 No, Lewy Body Dementia did that, it's hard to accept but in his situation taking his own life while he still had the cognitive function and physical ability to do so was almost certainly the least horrible thing he could have done for himself and those who loved him. The disease he was suffering with is that horrible. The whole thing was and is utterly sad. Robin had a Charisma and Talent that touched people and resonated with them in such a way that I think he will always be missed by those who knew him, even if only indirectly through his work. ❤

[@FlippytheMasterofPie]

Still can't get over it. I've never been affected by a celebrity death like this. I genuinely miss him--and I've never met the guy!

[@elvisgirl69]

Me too.

[@susieceem3454]

You and a lot of other people. I think of him daily. It's like a family member died. At least he left a great legacy of work. I find new things out every day i did not know he had many obscure projects, he did USO tours for the troops overseas, etc.

[@bulkyspud1842]

I know what you mean. When I found out I was very upset. He was a piece of my childhood. It was as if he was my tv dad.

[@TheJazzMan333]

[@kkplac5886]

didn`t use to watch dead poets society when I was a kid....so it doesn`t belong in my childhood memory...still memorable and awesome performance of Williams and totally worth mentioning :)

[@RDSports5]

Absolutely! As someone who grew up in the early 90's with basically the golden age of Disney movies, we felt like we were on a magical ride in movies like Aladdin and Hook, and that was mostly because of Robin. The great thing about him too is that he was just as much of a genius in dramatic movies as he was in comedies in my view. Good Will Hunting, What Dreams May Come, Dead Poets Society, the list goes on... Along with names like Steven Spielberg, Robin Williams is one of the most influential names in the movie/entertainment industry. He was THAT impactful!

[@timobrien8809]

I had the ultimate pleasure of having Robin shake my hand, ask my name & how I enjoyed myself on my one & only extra work on his movie Man Of The Year. He took time to greet & thank all the extras just as things were ending for the night. This was about 2 AM & I was thrilled the whole bus ride home. You could tell it was not just something he wanted to do but loved doing. It will be a moment I will treasure even more now. Just so sad what happened to this wonderful, loving soul.

a couple of guys wrote a book about the easiest celebrities to approach for autographs, and Billy Crystal got the lowest grade, on account of one situation they witnessed, when a young girl about 12 years old, and she asked him for an autograph, and he said "the last thing I need is to give an autograph to some girl with braces" she was completely crestfallen, so as far as I'm concerned he's a douche.
