Robin Williams/Stephen Fry UK Interview (RE-EDITED)

I have re-edited/uploaded this video as my initial upload was taken down by KZbin due to a copyright claim for the James Taylor segment of this interview. For the record, my initial upload of this video reached over 500 000 views due to the massive interest in the great Robin Williams.
You Tube never gave the option to edit the James Taylor segment from my upload when the video reached over 100 000 views.
There was no copyright claim by James Taylor's management BEFORE the video reached over 100 000 views which was strange!

[@ZATennisFan]

Robin Williams was a once in a lifetime level comedic genius.... You cannot teach what he could do... He is sorely missed....

[@puppetsock]

Not just comedy. Yes, comedy genius. But he could also act amazingly well. There were moments in Good Will Hunting that... Well, you know. And The Fisher King extracted nearly all of the salt out of my body. He had range.

[@RelativeBadger]

Simply not funny at all - just desperate for attention

@@bcnzpb Not all the time, but imagine if it took making others happy to keep yourself happy? When the smiles stop so does your self worth, it would never be enough. Depression is one of the ugliest monsters we face in life, and if can't be suppressed with a gun, knife or any kind of weapon - any use of drugs to dull it will only end up fomenting a dependency that could become as bad or worse than the problem you started with.

The incredible thing is that Robin Williams wasn't just one of the best comedians and impressionists that I can think of, he was also an absolutely fantastic actor. I think his acting in "Awakenings" is still one of the most moving performances I have ever seen. Thank God that we have things like this clip to remember him by.

[@84Elenai]

Awakenings is such an underrated movie.

[@MakeAllThingsBeautiful]

comedians who will throw everything into making people laugh make the most awesome soul searching serious actors, RW maybe the best of the best, Good will Hunting, Dead Poets Society show how inspiring he is being prepared to dig deep and bare his soul, I'm listening to this interview as i write this and got to say his awareness, the speed of his mind making chords of humour. I'd say Robin Williams is an argument to say there shouldn't be any censorship as he will go to the limits, break all the rules but make sense of everything. Crikey i really miss this fella.

Check out the movie 'Moscow on the Hudson', it's tremendously under rated, but shows Williams at his serious best, playing a Russian defector.

[@peterwilson5528]

I worked on Being Human with him in Glen Nevis in 1993. I have a signed photo of me him and another extra. There was a lot of work and we all got to know him very well. He was a really nice person. Always there for the crew making us all laugh. The weather was pretty wet and cold but never saw him show any sign of weakness. He was amazing at copying the various accents of the crew who were a mixed bunch from all over. I met also David Putnam there who was the producer. He was a nice man very friendly also have a picture of him. I am glad I got to meet Robin Williams. I feel very lucky.

Robin knew when to tone it down. After his manic performance during the first 25 minutes, he tones it WAY down when Stephen Fry comes out. While Stephen is talking about the bears in Peru, Robin is funny but still very respectful and times his interruptions well. He obviously respected Stephen a great deal. Two geniuses in one interview. What a treat!

[@rodriguezpavara5652]

I disagree. He had the first segment to himself then kept interrupting Fry, throwing him off his story line and interjecting with stuff that wasn't so funny. I love the guy and who knows what stage he was at in his struggle that night, but he was over the top, not respectful.

True sentiments, all, however Robin didn't suffer from depression or demons. He had a degenerative prion disease that was causing brain dmg and went undiagnosed until they did an autopsy. It's important people understand he was a happy, loving person and his drastic personality changes were symptoms of this lewy-body dementia. We need so much more research into treating forms of dementia so we don't lose people like him. It's so easy to say ah, demons, tsk, when instead it's a disease we can literally see and define, and now we just have to find a way to cure or control it. Loved the man, gonna miss him.

Robin said, "And the loneliness of a person who feels so isolated. I understand that feeling better now. My mom passed away and I was in the military. My dad talked about how alone he felt. He said he was married for so long that he lost who he was in the marriage and realized he didn't have any single friends. Then years later my dad had passed and I was an airline pilot and my wife left me. I did nothing wrong in the marriage she just didn't want to be married anymore. I would get home and I would be alone. I would sit in the hotel rooms alone or I was watching passengers go on vacations and realizing that I will never have that experience with the love of my life ever again. I now realize what my dad meant by losing who he was in the marriage. Apparently Robin felt alone and it was a painful alone. It is like being in solitary confinement. Robin had major depression and I did too but if I took medication the FAA could keep me from flying. Anyway I was able to retire early and I am in a better place. I just wish Robin could have found his happiness he deserved.

Well said sir remember this even US military that ever viewed or saw him respected him because he flew all over the place in dangerous areas just to make the military at ease and laugh and pull the stress out of their hearts he was a really good man and so are you never forget that retired veteran 24 years US Air Force flying was what I always like to do I was just an engineer not a pilot but I've been all over the world and I don't regret it and I'm 57 now waiting for my retirement seems like forever but it's worth it peace and goodwill to all men and women that serve in the military and the pilots that move them back and forth always.

Good for you sir, depression is a mf, i've had my fair share of it since 18 (now 30) and i dont think it will ever go away, but certainly needs managing. My advice is exercising even with hobbies and stuff helps a ton. Cheers!

@@gregoryborowski6012 Being an USAF pilot was hard as you know. You're on alert and then deployed so you're often away from family and alone. Then later my wife didn't want to be touched by a killer.

One UK national treasure interviewing another with an American national treasure thrown into the mix. Can't be bad.

Thank you so much for bringing back the sparkle of Williams's talent!

I loved Robin Williams, there never was a funnier man. He was a genius comedically.

[@OrbitalTrails-x5s]

He couldn't even come close to the genius of George Carlin

[@tclmac1]

I like George carlin... but he seem angry...... angry funny.

[@OrbitalTrails-x5s]

@@tclmac1 Robin Williams was a people pleaser, Carlin had the balls to say things that were on his mind.

I grew up with Robin. He was just starting his career when I was just starting my life. So he was like family. I adored him so very much. His death was a blow to my soul. I’m so very happy when I come across interviews like this. I have the fast talking , multi planes of consciousness conversation style myself. My psychiatrist literally compared me to Robin on many occasions. 😊 I’ll take it.

[@bodionafun3441]

I admire and respect a lot of celebrities, but I genuinely love Robin. He was family.

[@lukemurphy6244]

I wish I had Robins stamina to never let a beat drop to never let a laugh slip. He lived it on camera And on stage. He was so special and strong.

[@mandyadler4536]

Dear, sweet, crazy genius Robin. No one will ever replace you. You're missed more as time goes on.

[@barbm2375]

Robin is so enthralling to listen to. The cadence and timbre of his voice as he discusses this role, it’s intoxicating. ❤

[@Skelmorlie]

Robin Williams is so far ahead of any other comedian captured on film (and indeed human being in terms of brain speed intelligence) that it would be no surprise if it turned out he really was from another planet. And he used his unique genius to give joy to others and encourage greater compassion, so hugely spiritually advanced as well.

[@kyleethekelt]

Can we imagine what QI may have been like with Mr williams as a guest of Stephen? Thank you for shahring the meeting of a couple of legends.

[@christokapp597]

That such a wonderful "sad" man could bring so much joy to so many. I would have loved to have a beer with Robin.

[@patriciaabatemarco3834]

I LOVE both Robin and Stephen and watching Frue trying so hard to maintain a thread next to Robin is hysterical!

[@uhohmybad1307]

Laughter..." it's an enema for the soul"...one of his best quotes.

[@jaynestag95]

He laughed but not deep inside😢

[@theshadow100]

I was so down with depression,after I watched this I had to run to the loo ,it lifted my spirits 😂😂

[@bambelbar996]

Thanks for keeping this in your collection. These are two of the best humans to ever have graced this planet.

Stephen Fry's "handling of Robin Williams in this interview is phenomenal.

[@Blondie42]

Thanks for posting all of Robin's interview and Stephen's. It would have been amazing to be seated across from those two brilliant men.

[@DennisMoore664]

I'm just grateful to have shared the planet with Robin Williams and Stephen Fry. They've made what is often a rather mundane experience a bit livelier.

[@sheinapetch8312]

Extraordinary to watch these two brilliant men...Robin Williams and Stephen Fry!

Robin Williams was more than us. We were blessed to have his genius and kindness!

[@thatsentertainment5602]

Thank you for your comment and support! As mentioned in my description, my initial upload reached over 100 000 views but was taken down by KZbin because of the James Taylor segment hence me re-editing this version.

[@jek4912]

@@thatsentertainment5602, that's KZbin for ya. 😑 But glad this is back up since I sure needed the laughs, having been long since I've watched videos of Robin Williams no matter where he is.

[@thatsentertainment5602]

@@jek4912 Yes, this is one of the best Robin Williams interviews I've seen.

[@jhamler1]

I've seen a lot of Robin Williams improv (on talk shows and whatnot) but this was new to me and might take the cake. Even if he blatantly stole that cake from Stephen Fry on this occasion. And don't sleep on Stephen Fry, by any means. That man is a quick-witted genius himself. It's just that Robin Williams is inimitable and impossible to stop. Hit after hit. Like The Beatles.

Robin Williams, one of the few who could make one hour of material in about 20 minutes.
