Robin Williams' first time in Australia | 1979

[@JTLaser1]

My son had brain surgery at UCSF in 2001, and on Christmas Eve Robin Williams came to his room and changed the mood from one of despair and fear, to joy and hope. We love him and miss him dearly!

@@MeMe-jq3ky I thank you for being a caregiver AND for your empathy. I’m a 45 year stage III cancer survivor, every day is a blessing! I understand having a, ahem, long-term health “challenge.” For me it hasn’t been some heroic “battle of the human spirit,” more a case of absolutely refusing to give up, one day, one hour, heck, sometimes one minute at a time. My empathy tells me that you understand.

Met Robin Williams on the movie set of the film JACK, and he invited me and my whole family to a private lunch backstage! The lady from the Nanny was sitting with us at the table too, and Robin Williams is so humble and down to earth! I'll never forget it! I was a teenager then and im 39 now. I was taken back by his kind and welcoming character; I mean, who am I ? I'm just a nobody, and he invited me and my mom and dad and sister to eat with him at a table...thats insane! I love this man and his incredible talent and kindness! RIP forever.

[@nathansvlog]

This shows Robin's incredible talent for his craft in a way I haven't seen before. He's presented to an audience that's largely unfamiliar with him, and where another comedian would play it safe and offer some "foot in the door" jokes to warm the audience up, this guy just becomes a steam roller of confidence and commits to "full weird" from the get go. He doesn't change for the audience, *they* have to catch up with *him* and I think that's brilliant.

[@tabaxikhajit4541]

I agree he came out "full wierd" with the roller skates but was wondering if it was a mistake. I saw more uncertainty in Robin at the beginning of this than in most interviews. But he knew he had to commit. It took him time to warm up. The way he pushed past it is part of his magic. He is a steamroller of confidence, not by nature, but by determination. He is a legend. He is a treasure. He is deeply missed but always loved.

I don't want to talk or mention how he died, I would rather remember how he lived..... bringing laughter and joy to billions without a concern for his own health. I love him and miss him dearly.

The university leaders were not impressed. It was incredible how he could take audience hints and just start off with something simple and improv it into something crazy. True genius.

Man, 1979. I was one year old. Robin was such a treasure. RIP

[@skwervin1]

I remember watching this very episode of The Don Lane Show (required TV during that era) - and Don was a great host who would let his guest just go with the flow - it often ran late and no-one worried. It was filmed in front of a live audience in Melbourne once a week and was the highlight of my parents week. ANyone who was anyone appeared and he also gave a lot of up and comers a chance, and didn't try to shoehorn them into a 3 minute slot. It started at 8.30 pm I think and went until 10.30pm but one episode went until after midnight - when his old friend Sammy Davis Junior showed up unscripted after doing his show at the Southern Cross Ballroom and was driven onstage in a police car. Sammy gave Don a bracelet of gold that Don wore until his dying day. Robin Williams was a true genius, loving and caring and incredibly intelligent. He did an interview with Jana Wendt from Australia's 60 minutes and he had her to the point of almost wetting her pants. This was a woman who had gone toe to toe with Gaddafi, gone undercover in Uganda, faced down murderers, politicians and the like and had earned the name of the "Perfumed Steamroller", yet here she was, laughing to the point of going red in the face and almost falling off her chair. Not many people EVER got under her shields.... but Robin did.

[@conanthecribber]

As far as I remember the Don Lane Show was on twice a week, Monday's and Thursdays. I was quite surprised watching this at what a good interviewer Don Lane was, very relaxed, not an ass-licker, mixing in some serious moments with the comedy. My memories of Don Lane was that he was rather wooden. Some of the comments in this turned out to be quite prophetic in a sad way.

Thanks for the additional context in this comment! I had noticed during the clip that the host (who I didn't know before) was really warm and flexible with Robin, so I was indeed curious~ Not many hosts are very good at interviewing, ironically, so it's nice to know that Don put his guests above the time slot restrictions. :> Because I know I wouldn't care how long it went over, if the content is so good!

I strongly advise watching the documentary Robin's Wish. Once you hear from his widow how he was during his final months, you'll understand just how little control he really had at the end. It wasn't his depression that killed him, rather...It's hard to summarize. The closest words can get is he could feel his sense of who he was disappearing, and regularly didn't know where or who he was. Again, the documentary explains things a hell of a lot better. Fear of Lewy Body dementia has now replaced every other method of dying as my worst fear, and that includes the terror of being buried alive to a severe claustrophobe.

[@sandrasharp2934]

It's enlightening and painful, now, to watch him and literally SEE the mental anguish he was in. It was actually palpable. He deflected so masterfully we only saw the comedy. Obviously, he never got the mental health help he desperately needed. He self-medicated with the drugs, which probably greatly contributed to his brain disease.

[@MrYetiman82]

I was reading the comment section to see if anyone else noticed. It makes watching this even more painful to see the deep sadness that was right underneath that comedic façade

[@frankkolton1780]

Chronic depression is asking yourself a thousand times over, "What's wrong with me, why can't I be happy? It's losing any kind of hope for the future. It's finding great sense of relief by having a suicide plan all worked out, knowing you can check out quickly if things get too bad. It's realizing that no understands what it's like except other people with depression. It's having a fantastic spouse and children, a great job, having financial security, expensive toys, yet still be depressed. It's putting on a happy mask every day (that you eventually get used to wearing) for your family, friends, and coworkers. It's being completely unafraid of death, because you wish for it. It's having such low self esteem, you believe that your loved ones would be better off without you. It's spending years trying different medications, mental health therapy, light therapy, exercise therapy, religion, special diets and then realize that there is nothing left to try, no more getting your hopes up to be let down, and finally accepting and living depression.

[@pompeymonkey3271]

@@frankkolton1780 That's your experience of depression. I'm not going to invalidate it in any way, because I can't feel what you feel, but it is clearly very real for you. However, your comment has very little relevance to my observation of Mr William's behaviour. So fuck off.

Watching this, yes it's funny but more than that, I feel an overwhelming sense of appreciation. Appreciation for how this man, no matter what he did, gave his all everytime. What an artist and entrepreneur of his genre of comedy.

One can never get enough Robin Williams nanu nanu.

I pray he is blissfully happy where he is now. God bless his soul.

The Don Lane Show had some of the biggest and best celebrity interviews of the time on Australian television. I remember watching this first hand as a 16 year old in 1979. Adored his humour then and still do. Bless you Robin Williams.

I miss this man, he was a person that didn't see me, but even so, i grew up watching his movies, as an adult man, I would have give him my half piece of mind just so he continue his work. It's so weird to miss a stranger that felt so close.

The man just takes over, and commands the audiences attention, like no one else. You wouldn't need any prepared questions or nothing, the mention of anything, no matter how arbitrary, even an unfinished word, he could make something of it, and break your funny bone into tiny pieces. Then he lead us through deep trauma, regret and suffering with his dramatic work, to pin our eyes on the fact that we just may have little to complain about in the grand scheme of things. Too bad he had some deep inner struggles even he couldn't deal with: So freaking sad how we lost him! Well, not a total loss though, as long as stuff like this exists. He gave us so much in such a small frame of time. May he be remembered for everything he brought to our lives, and to future generations who discover his brilliance!

I never realized how much I loved watching Don Lane and Robin Williams. The world is a sadder place with their passing. Thanks for the laughs.

[@roblostandlate.6005]

Nearly Retired. Yeah, Australians loved them both, and we claimed Don Lane as one of us. He was made an Honorary Aussie.

Dead Poet's Society and Good Will Hunting. Both movies were dramas and both wouldn't have been half as good without Robin Williams. He was such a talented kind-hearted human being who made me smile, laugh, and on occasion, even hold back a tear.

Just reminds you of how special, funny & lovable he was, from the very start. a shook-up can of funny. RIP Robin.
