The man was an absolute legend there's no other word to describe it. There will never be another. RIP Robin Williams you may be gone but certainly never forgotten. Robin Lives forever in our hearts.

[@invizoman]

Robin ! Dear Robin !!!!! He made me laugh , cry, smile, sad, bad, feel good, serious and everything else inbetween in life thru my good and bad times.....the world loves you !!!!!!! And a heartfelt thank you for you !!!!

[@bignath250688]

He is the greatest person in the world. Nobody will ever replace him

[@codydavis3647]

@Treasures of Sin at least he was being himself, you may not find those types of jokes funny, but those jokes had made billions of people laugh, such as myself, he had a great life, and everyone agrees that he was considered one of the greats Edit: I dont plan on arguing about this, a lot of different people find different types of aspects funny like dark humor, or even the jokes that he made, and robin William's happened to have dirty sense of humor, he also had one of the best experiences with a gorilla, you probs already know about it, but if you consider that below the belt, I feel sorry for you, have a good day

@Treasures of Sin Your ignorance is astonishing. George Carlin also did drugs and alcohol and was destructive but that could never stop hm from being one of the best comedians in the world. Only small people feel threatened by such impressive accomplishments.. and only bullies wish to humiliate others just to feel good about themselves. As to all those who knew him.. they always described him as an extremely generous, and kind, and decent, and polite person, who never stopped helping others..

[@patricksobb5762]

You can always tell that Robin just wanted everybody to laugh and wouldn't stop until they did. One of the few celebrities who seemed to really enjoy it. It wasn't about the money or the fame. A talent like no other.

[@conorsmith8551]

He was the fisher king ❤️

[@canary_in_a_coalmine]

He is talking about heart surgery, his drug addiction and really dark moments in his life and makes you cry with laughter. What a unique personality.

[@DerRoterKaiser]

A great human we simply lost too soon!

[@luisvillarreal5262]

Every damn thing Robin would say was hilarious. Never a dull moment with him. He was a genius in his craft. What a loss to the comedic world.

[@innovativeinnovation6629]

He gave a shout out to the guys on the piano when he came in and even shouted out Jonathan Ross when he finished the interview. Robin was such a brilliant man who lived a lot and even knew more than we do.

[@anapelcanineultrasound1903]

They were called Four Poofs And A Piano, brilliant barbershop house band- they did a cover for every guest! Obviously huge Robin fans like any reasonable person would be :)

[@bodawei425]

Robin Williams was really witty, so good at improvising in a split second. And one of the reasons that, in my opinion, people love him so much, is because he would say things that most of us would not dare say by fear of the judgement from others. Sadly, behind his mask, he was also a man who as suffering. That makes the him even more extraordinary.

[@greggbonilla]

He was a comic genius

[@antonstbar4994]

[@tinaleazajones5643]

Great Carson show w/Robin & Jonathan Winters, probably the only person on Earth that stood a chance Playing a game of Mental Ping-Pong w/him...every time I see him, I am reminded of my late brother and his excitement about The World According to Garp...He was amazing in anything that he did! I am Very familiar with depression, I know when I am barely hanging on, cuz I tend to have rediculas responses to people, with the hopes that I can make them laugh, I seem to want other's to feel better than I do.

[@Pirustae]

Craig Ferguson was that man who could not only keep up but also have that rare chemistry going. Jim Carrey would also be another. Those 2 only.

[@cholatepnabangchang4834]

It's so nice how UK-based hosts (Graham Norton, Jonathan Ross) let the guests speak more freely and allow them to go off on tangents. For guests with stories to tell, it doesn't feel as irritating as US-based talk shows where the host keeps interrupting to drag them along conversational checkpoints.

[@scottmurray2776]

I agree apart from Johnathon Ross, he never shuts up. Parkinson was the best for letting his guests come out and just speak.
