This is a great interview, and it's because of the format. With no one there but the two of them, it becomes a conversation. I saw an episode of "Inside the Actors' Studio" with Williams, and it became unwatchable, because in front of an audience, he couldn't switch off "the performer" for more than a few seconds at a time, and it was so manic, and became such a circus, that any kind of a real conversation was impossible. All that is fine if you buy a ticket to a stand-up show; if you want to learn something, or have a discussion of any depth, it's no good. And Williams was someone worth having that discussion with. Maron did it right.
@gheller22612 жыл бұрын
Williams on a talk show was insufferable. Same schtick every time and the host laughing his ass off because he felt he had to. Williams was a great talent as an actor and seems like he was a wonderful guy, but I always cringe when I hear people talk about his comic "genius." I just never found him funny. Would have loved to see what he could have done as an actor into his 70s and older.

G Heller I think you’ll find that not many people hold that opinion. There’s a reason his stand up specials and most of his talk show appearances are adored. Of course there are awkward appearances where the host has no time to talk, but watch Robin on Carson and Ferguson’s shows to see his genius, especially in his insanely sharp political jokes. It’s quite obvious that most hosts weren’t laughing because “they felt they had to” and neither were the audiences. Robin’s comedy was genuine and so were the reactions to it. If you really need evidence, watch him on Craig Ferguson’s show and try to tell me that’s not funny (and it’s that much better because Craig was actually able to keep up with Robin). But if you don’t even like his comedy after seeing his stand up specials, maybe it’s his manic style that’s not for you. Regardless, even if you remove his style from the equation, the razor sharp intelligence of his comedy alone is what makes him truly one of the greats.

@fenwayify4 жыл бұрын
Garp, Awakenings, Moscow, Doubtfire, Hunting, Dead Poets, One Hour Photo, Fisher King, even Night at the Museum, brought such empathy and sincerity to his roles. He really was a tremendous actor and could bring such emotion with his portrayals. At the same time, as he emerged on the scene as a stand-up comic, he was a force of nature...literally lightning in a bottle! He seemed to overcome addiction, depression and heart disease for the most part, but Lewy Body Dementia proved a burden that exceeded his grasp...

Williams is also on the way down here -- third wife Susan Schneider described his symptoms (anxiety, indigestion, insomnia, tremors) as early as 2012-2013. He was being prescribed anti-psychotic meds (for uncontrollable 'attacks') while filming Night at the Museum 3. I agree that his later conversations are deeper (and in some ways 'darker') than the lighter quippy happy-go-lucky stuff of the 1980s and 1990s.

52:21 is kind of eery to listen to him talking about the one time he had a suicidal thought and then quickly snapped out of it and said to himself that he didn't have the balls to go through with it (killing himself). Somehow, only four years later, he did find that courage. But up until then, by his own admission, he had never entertained that thought and could list all of these blessings he was grateful for; it was clear that he'd had a really good life and he was aware of it and he hadn't been suffering from debilitating depression for years and years like some people seem to think. It was only like the last two years of his life that stuff started gradually becoming unbearable. It's crazy how quickly things can change for a person.

This is better than his standup. I've watched specials across the decades - and this - isn't peformative. It's real. It's peer-to-peer - and that to me is far more interesting, and when he breaks away it's not 'on' or 'zany' it's real(ly) funny. It'd be interesting to think what would have happened if he got less 'him' and (in spite of what illness he was going into) do just 'let go' and be onstage ... just - real.
