David Letterman Gets Emotional Remembering Robin Williams

David Letterman knew Robin Williams for 38 years, and remembers him as a "very talented man and a good friend and a gentlemen."

[@RyderDavis]

My friend Zack got to sit next to him in a classroom for a day on the set of Patch Adams, and remarked about how sidesplittingly funny, and how genuinely kind he was to everyone on set.

[@Loveoldies50]

He was a remarkable comedian, actor, and man. Everyone seems to have loved him. It’s heartbreaking to know how he was suffering. I am SO sorry for his family and friends. There will never be another like him!

[@janekermel7268]

Robin Williams is the only guy i feel like a friend i love even ive never met the guy! . What an amazing gift. He just gave it all he had, and it blew everybody out of their seats! :D What a man, what a legend!

[@viqarkagzi3922]

He helped me with all my struggles in my life. Thank you Robin

[@bilalahmed2123]

RIP Robin Williams. You brought laughter to our broken hearts !

[@kendracarver3194]

He made all of us so happy and was so busy making us laugh.. we didn’t know he was hurting. This man is a legend. I cried so badly and I’m crying now. I miss you robin and thank you for making my childhood happy

[@stacyvega4991]

He was so busy making us happy he forgot himself

[@kevincosgrove948]

Stacy Vega You are so right. My god, Robin had so much energy he gave out to people. Its like a star, it burns out at some point...

[@bryceperea2642]

That’s one of the saddest and prettiest comments I’ve ever read.

[@johnnybmean74]

Really? He didn't please himself when he would Plagiarize (STEAL FROM) other comics?

[@drewski1535]

9 years later and it still hurts he's gone

[@patrick44668]

No, he had dementia unfortunately.

[@saveriosalemme5366]

I grew up watching Robin, he was a very special person and as the years passed and I grew older my admiration of him also grew. I have to say the news of his passing shocked me in a way that the passing of someone close to me would. About a week later I became very ill with a pneumonia which I thought was only the flu and I only saw a doctor after it had become septic. I went into a coma and the doctors had given up hope. I miraculously did recover and throughout a long and difficult convalescence I thought about Robin and how much he made me laugh which made me feel better. I spent a month in the ICU and the comfort I got from thinking about him and not about my predicament was a literal lifesaver. Thanks Robin, your spirit remains with all of us and you will never die 💫

[@wildone4324]

To this day it's still a massive hole in my heart that Robin past away. I loved him so much and was a big part of my childhood in watching films. Lots of love to him and his family. Rest in peace my legendary friend

[@cjcar63]

I have always felt that Robin's acting ability far exceeded his ability to simply make us laugh. Never quite understood what it was about him exactly. Recently watched an old Dick Cavett episode featuring Sir Lawrence Olivier reading from his favorite Shakespeare sonnet. Noticed something at the end of the reading that I had seen but never recognized. When Robin gave a serious performance his facial expressions nearly mirrored Olivier's. Robin had that rare ability to project emotion through the slightest physical gesture or movement. I think every great actor has this ability. I miss him.

[@ananddixit1553]

He is the man of all time.👍👍👍

[@LenHummelChannel]

I am still affected by the tragedy of Robin Williams suicide. I think probably millions are to one degree or another. Robin was such a manic comedic genius. there will never be another quite like him.

[@glenshimokaji8715]

I sure miss him I love them in Mork & Mindy used to watch it every time it was on he was a good man and had a good heart.

[@darkside7802]

Still can't believe this happened.

[@gordonm7038]

Awakenings with De Niro is amazing. I saw again recently flicking through the tv and burst into tears during the scene where Leonard "awakens" in the night. Too much. Rock on Robin!

[@Robert08010]

That's one of my favorite movies and I only watched it the first time because Robin Williams was in it.

[@cjtulosmbili7132]

Robin was a genius and a legend.

[@daviddavid9018]

CJ Tulos Mbili The Best of the Best.

[@coryc0213]

He sure was

[@burlfarlington731]

+CJ Tulos Mbili i guess he was an actor . maybe i will check out his movies or tv shows. maybe youtube has a lot of stuff on him i can check out.

[@gxfan039]

He was the type of guy that would make anyone laugh and smile on any day when they suddenly get depressed.

[@viqarkagzi3922]

gxfan039 wrong depressed no He was mis diagnosed. Awareness,, paranoias, balance, memories solving skills. All parts of l b d look it up before posting. He can never be replaced.

[@shawnuel]

He did have bouts of depression, for sure, but his wife has revealed that the death may have had a lot to do with his recent diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and, in particular, the "Lewey Body Dementia" that accompanied that diagnosis.

[@dwightsmith4641]

He was facing a third divorce and was already paying 130,000 a month to the first two vampires. Family courts will not reduce the rates because they get a percentage, and they don’t care if your sick and can’t make as many movies. All three vampires are fighting over the trust he left his children. He did not even get a plot or gravestone. I wonder why marriage is on the decline.

[@alphamale1228]

YOU CALL THAT EMOTIONAL? SMH

[@SSDirk1976]

well guess what???? WE ARE ALL IN PAIN...WE ALL SUFFER but you NEVER take the only life that God gave you, being a selfish coward. You take your own life, you punch your one way ticket to hell for all eternity.

Robin was suffering and knew he was going to become a burden to those who knew him, He did the right thing but knowing him I would have expected him to overdose he did so many drugs over the years that's why his ortopsy showed no serious drugs?

[@nowvoyagerNE]

suicide leaves a tragic and destructive legacy for the children, grandchildren, and other relatives of the person who completes suicide. the suicide rate of first-degree relatives and second-degree relatives of those who complete suicide is greater than that of the general population. there is no simple "he did the right thing" to suicide.

[@trevdmoostoos]

Here is a great man. Respected by all kinds of humans. All kinds
