I met Eric Idle at intermission of a play in London in 1991 and he did exactly as he showed here. I said "Mr. Idle?" and he reached out his hand and said "Call me Eric, are you enjoying the play?" I introduced myself, thanked him for his work, we exchanged views on the production and that was that. He was polite, engaging, and used my name as we parted.

I had a personal experience meeting Robin Williams and that description totally tracks. I saw him in the audience of a play and wanted to say hi to him at intermission. But when I reached him, I was on a line of people going in one direction and he was on a line going in the other. I suddenly realized I didn't want to draw all this attention to him, so kind of froze up. He must have seen it on my face. He looked right at me, smiled and gave a little wave. I waved back, my jaw must have been on the floor. And then it was over. He totally made that moment happen for me

I met Conan out in the world once, and he was exactly like this with me. He could tell I was surprised and speechless when I saw him, so he just reached out his hand and said, "Hi, I'm Conan!" Warm and gracious, made me feel special, but also like we were just a pair of regular guys having an everyday conversation. I only stumbled a bit when I told him how much I've enjoyed his show since I was a little kid, etc. etc... started feeling awkward and self conscious. He just smiled and casually said, "Oh yeah, I've been on the air for a long time." Living in LA you meet a lot of celebrities, but it's the ones that you've loved since childhood that hit a little differently.

I don’t think there’s ever been a celebrity whose passing genuinely hurt me, other than Robin Williams. No disrespect to any other great entertainers, but I don’t know them personally so it’s like “oh that’s sad” and then I move on. Robin Williams was a once in a lifetime personality. He’s been a comfort in my life since I was a small child. As a 90s kid, it seemed like he was in everything I watched. And he was so versatile too; he could make you laugh or cry. Left such an impact on me. Usually, genuine pain over someone’s passing, or missing them, is reserved for a family or friend; someone I knew personally. But he’s the rare exception. I still miss Robin. There will never be another.

Obviously most of us out here didn't personally know Robin Williams like Conan or Eric, but the empathy they describe - it was so powerful, it affected those of us who never met him. There aren't many people in the public eye who continue to affect me emotionally as strongly as Robin Williams does. This story actually pulled tears out of my eyes and they're rolling down my face right now. What a guy. And Conan - I am continually grateful for your presence in showbiz. I'm 34 now and have been a big fan since the Late Night days. You and your team do a great thing, not just by making us laugh every day (which is an underrated contribution to society) - but stories like this and your talk with Eric Idle really hit deeply.

An hour later they came back with multiple photos of them and Robin, shaking hands, joking around, multiple selfies with Robin holding the camera etc. It blew me away that someone so famous would hang around and talk to us nobodies. Kind of a bummer but it did teach me a valuable lesson - its worth taking a risk and feeling silly for something special. Even if it feels like a long shot.

0:45 -- there's a famous therapeutic technique where you ask the patient to be as kind and caring and considerate to yourself as if what has happened to you happened to a small child. It is very effective. Another technique is to record your negative talk about yourself or dismissive talk about your own problems and send them to your therapist, then re evaluate what you said and why you said it. All of a sudden this will reduce. Then all of a sudden you are more caring of yourself and less dismissive against yourself, respectively.

Robin had a very mixed reputation among stand-up comics. If he showed up at a club to do a set, they would scrap the night's lineup and put him on. Even though he would cover the lineup's pay, the talent were often frustrated because the people at the club would remember Robin and not the talent on the marquee that night. His mind also worked so fast that he retold or incorporated others' jokes to a degree that some refused to use their material around him. He knew this was a problem and voluntarily wrote $1000 checks every time another comic called him out on it, but, again, the jokes were ascribed by listeners to Robin and not the original creator. That said, he also mentored many and he did sometimes go to shows just to watch, often from a hidden vantage point so as to not distract from the stage. He was also generous with his money, helping cover bills for some comics. He was, to borrow something I heard from Adam Savage (who has found memories of interacting with him while working on Bicentennial Man), one of God's own prototypes, after which the mold was broken.

What I learned through years of work is the empathy one has for another and vice versa is the most powerful tool for healing there is. Whenever I encounter someone flailing away at their lives trying to come to grips with violent history, I suggest finding someone else with similar experiences and show them empathy. This practice saved me.

I TOOK from him for decades. I TOOK his laughter and his characters and i used them to make myself feel happy and joyous, but all that time Robin was giving to us. he was suffering in silence. He spent his life giving joy to us, but he couldn't find the same for himself. Robin Williams is the comedy genius we all needed and will always have. He is a legend. He will live on in the laughter that is to come for decades or centuries. We miss you deeply Robin, but at least now, you have peace. R.I.P. Robin Williams

Even when Conan imitates Robin Williams voice with "How are you holding up chief?" I get choked up.

It cheeses me how no one ever mentions Eric's greatest role of all time. Wreck-Gar the Junkion in The Transformers.

One of the most powerful things I ever heard anyone say about meeting people or fans came from one of my favorite people of all, George Carlin. He described how he thoroughly enjoyed meeting people one on one because, "You can see the universe in their eyes," which has always stayed with me. Since hearing that profound dynamic, that's been the kind of perception I have craved in my life and it's truly amazing to have that spectacular vision with others. It takes an actual visionary to not only notice, acknowledge, come up with that, and describe it, but to inspire others by communicating it effectively, such that we look for that in others too, is a profound and bar-raising gift of interactive empathy and awareness, even evolutionary in it's scope. That's what George Carlin was, a highly evolved visionary. That's leaving it better than we found it, and that's why we're all here after all, the meaning of life. And that's how you always look on the bright and light side of it with others, eh Eric? 😙

A dear friend of mine worked in the theatre in New York for many years as a dancer. He met many celebrities during that time, but his favorite interaction ever was with Robin Williams. Williams had come to a performance of a show my friend was a dancer in. This happened backstage after the show. This was in the early 80's. Robin was newly clean and sober at the time. Robin was walking down a hallway, sort of shmoozing with people, he noticed this group of guys calling out to him from the a ways away. They were other NY actors that were known as the 'coke crew'. They'd migrate around and sort of suck others into their debauchery. My friend noticed that Robin saw them calling his name and instantly tense up. My friend got between these guys and Robin and simply said, 'Go. I've got you.' Robin, using one of his silly accents grabbed my friend's hand and said, "Godblessyou!" and made a run for it. My friend never got to actually talk with Williams, but he treasures that interaction and was honored to have helped keep Williams on the path. Williams definitely paid that kind of kindness forward throughout his life. He would call or meet with other actors or comedians who were struggling with addiction. The world truly didn't deserve Robin Williams.
