I miss Robin Williams so much. I literally watched him since as long as I can remember. He is the only celebrity that I cried for when they passed. He is such a great man.
@@frogbones1968 Funny thing is, I'm a Brit. I chose it as a gaming name years ago. Only later did I realise there was a baseball player (Mets?) called Mookie in the 80s or 90s.
Really? He always strikes me as a really poor Steve Martin. Steve allows you to figure out what the joke is. Jerry is hammering us over the head. Again. As always. Explaining it all, all the way through, leaving nothing for my own mind to do. Oh, he noticed that 'mail' & 'e-mail' aren't the same thing. Now he's explaining the differences. In detail. For those of us who didn't know? There's... a _need_ for this?
This clip is a great showcase for Jerry Seinfeld, Robin Williams and Billy Crystal, but does nothing to show why Jay Leno should be receiving the Mark Twain prize for humor.
Oh my gosh Robin Williams... the man was literally TOO MUCH. So freaking hilarious. He could go a mile minute and then switch it off and be so dialed into drama and heartfelt depth. Anyway, fun speech by Jerry and oh yeah, congrats to Jay.
he was also a bi-polar, and he had difficulty managing it, a major factor in why he unfortunately committed suicide. As high as those highs were, the lows were just as far on the other end.
Branon Fontaine oh my god I can't stop laughing at "O'dicksuck"... seriously how did you think of that? Are you like a professional comedian or something? So smart, nice work Seinfeld!
You want to know everything about Jay Leno? Watch this clip. Jerry Seinfeld came to honor Leno and so he joked about medicine and mail then he showed a clip to honor Robin Williams! He literally couldn't find anything good to say about Leno!
Jerry can't pull off the ironic ego schtick (it should be about me, not the recipient) the way Steve Martin can---a world of difference--mainly because we know the ego thing is not ironic.
So the Mark Twain prize isn't about storytelling, it's about joke telling? Aren't jokes so much less sophisticated than stories. How does any comedian rate as a story teller. They don't...So with that knowledge intact I say they take all the awards given to comedians back and reissue them to storytellers that entertain with a humorous tone. And since it wouldn't be right to leave his line out (Milton Berle) Yeah, but he never did Vaudville.
Jay Leno was the worst fucking stand-up and late night host ever,with the exception of Carson Daly. David letterman was and STILL is the king of late night. Letterman was your favorite comedians favorite comedian. Do you know how Jay leno got the tonight show? He hid in a closet and listened to an nbc meeting about how they wanted letterman to replace Johnny and he threatened to sue them if they didn't give it to him. Leno sucks.
Michael Mccollum you could be right. I don't remember him referencing that specifically and I sure as heck don't know either of them personally. Seinfeld also holds Leno is super high regard. Leno isn't that funny to me, I'm just regurgitating what many comics have said about Leno.... like him or not.
Andy T Your question was beyond his point, dummy. A fallacy, if you will. See, Joe probably isn't even a comic-or, more certainly, a celebrity-let alone someone who gave the world more "happiness" than Leno, which has no bearing on the fact that he does not think Leno deserves to be honored for his comedic work. In all likelihood, Joe does believe that at least a handful of other comics deserve it, but not Leno. That's his point.
Andy T Thanks for the unnecessary rephrasing. Let me rephrase as well: Did I put out more music than Limp Bizket? No. Do I have to in order to think they suck? Also no. Ya get my drift now?
Wasn't Jay Leno the one who Obama pushed out a tv network for cracking joke about him all the time? I remember that apparition of Billy Chrystal and Robin William; I found it totally out of place. They were promoting the movie they had made together.
so THIS is why he's never been on Conan's podcast 😭 btw WHERE THE ACTUAL F*CK IS CONAN'S MARK TWAIN????????????????? 🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂ most f*cking ridiculous sh*t ever in American showbusiness fr fr
Jerry Seinfeld: Nice guy? Yes but a little too much Ego and arrogant towards interviewers and "unsuccesfull" people. Good vocabulary user? Yes, he has excellent way of describing, excellent way of talking and very, very rich vocabulary. Good director? Yes he had amazing skills of finding ideas together with Larry David that helped Seinfeld series to become the most successful comedy series. Good actor? No. As mentioned above, his ideas where the spark and routes for the series' successfuly foundation, BUT the ones who made acting so funny and made us REALLY lough were Jason Alexander ( Constanza ) and Michael Richards and don't forget Newman! Jerry from the other side was not that funny. Hilarious stand up Comedian? NO NO NO! Come on....has anyone really loughed hard with Jerry's act on the scene?? Maybe few but surely not the most! I mean the jokes are really clever on how to satirize the goofs of modern society and every day life, BUT..still they don't make you drop down from couch by loughing, not even loughing loudly. Only some raise of your cheek. He is a clever comedian not a really funny comedian. In contradictory with comedians like CK Louis, Richard Prior, Jim Carrey, Eddie Murphy who have produced real loughing. I believe that in Jerry's case, for most of the audience, happens the " enthousiasm of mass " phenomenon. Meaning that people see a famous star on the scene who is called as the best, and then too much enthousiasm comes which covers the true feelings and affects true reactions. And where there is mass it's more easy to behave the same way. I believe that most of them they even press themselves to lough loud at every of his joke. For me the old Jerry Seinfeld was a very loveable person and very relaxing on watching him in the episodes, but today's Jerry is more arrogant, narcissist and self esteemed than he should worth to be. Again this is my opinion.
Antonios Giannopapas jerry was the moral center of the show; the one the viewer had to relate to the most; that’s why George, Kramer, Elaine and Newman worked so well for the viewer. If Jerry had an equally distinguishable character, the show would not have worked that well. You can see it whenever Jerry get’s the funny story and one of his friends become the moral center for the viewer. The show was great because of the chemistry!!
It’s spelled “Pryor” and it’s spelled “enthusiasm. Seinfeld’s Stand Up is really funny and he’s a great comic. He isn’t well liked because he isn’t cute to look at and he’s comes across like an arrogant dick where as Larry David comes across arrogant but in a flawed way that makes people comfortable.
I’ve seen Seinfeld live and believe me no one in the room could breathe because he was so insanely funny. I left out out of that venue with a migraine from laughing so hard. So I think tv editing reduces the true intensity of his stand up compared to seeing him live.
Here you have two narcissistic comedians (Robin Williams and Billy Crystal)trying to compete for attention. Sad and embarrassing for them. This is usually the result when ever 2 or more comedies are on the same show.
Andy T Then I must have brilliant insight. lol. I just notice whenever I watch 2 or even 1 comedians on a talk show or where ever they are, they seem to need to be center of attraction. I think many comedians have had troubled pasts and comedy has been an escape from that and they have a hard time “pushing the off button”. Robin Williams is an example.
Any drawing of jay Leno will undoubtedly end up as a caricature
Leno LOOKS like a caricature
I miss Robin Williams so much. I literally watched him since as long as I can remember. He is the only celebrity that I cried for when they passed. He is such a great man.
Honestly... I nearly cried watching this.
Yes; yes.
He deserved a better ending.
Seeing Robin you forget how unbelievably amazing he was , the energy level is through the roof.
Jerry's awards speeches never disappoint.
I hear them as disappointing. I just watched the JLD speech and it was mostly about him. Boring.
You're name caught my eye. I spent my youth and early 20s as Mookie. Funny how one thing brings back so many good memories✌

Jesus, Robbin was traveling at a speed no other human could fathom that day.
Jerry is one guy i know is very good friends with both Leno and Letterman.
jay is like if they hired a steamboat captain for a spaceship
I was never a huge fan of Robin Williams' comedy, but this was the funniest shit I've ever seen him do.
are you a human at all 😎 Robin Williams will be the King for always
Post master general...that’s why he’s top 5
that was the vibiest Seinfeld song ever
I saw this cook before many times but I never notice until just now that Robin pretended to throw shooting at the audience at the end
hey, i work at the post office.
Ricky Gervais is obviously a fan.
The man paid his dues. GOD bless him.
Robin Williams had amazing energy.. it's called a cocaine habit!!!
C J cocaine just made it more he always had a lot of energy.
He's manic and over the top, not my thing. Never liked his comedy but enjoyed his dramatic movies.
so is your thought
Robin Williams quit doing drugs in 1982.
he was also a bi-polar, and he had difficulty managing it, a major factor in why he unfortunately committed suicide. As high as those highs were, the lows were just as far on the other end.
TEAM COCO ALL THE WAY

which year was this ?
Give Jay an award for car collecting and car appreciation as he kills it at that................but for comedy........no way, he is way down the list.
Oh shut up
I liked this bit better the first time I saw it when it was Larry David giving Steve Martin the same award.
Larry David did a different bit. Jerry can only do bits.
dafuq are you talking about, public school?
Jay was amazing at interviews, it came across aa a friendly chat. Graham Norton is another one who has that way with interviews
yeah they should give him a talk show
@@lynnturman8157 They should give it to Conan first and then take it away after about a year

No Sir, no. Ricky is a different animal
Jerry been doing the first bit since the 80s and the last for at least 15 years
LOL OK

Pretty sure these were Robin's coke years
Affan K Yeah, but almost the same as his regular years
"What's an energy shortage?"- cocaine
doing that painkiller bit during an opioid crisis is something
The painkillers that are marketed as "extra strength" are over the counter and thus NOT opioids...

Robin Williams quit doing drugs about 1982.
@@brianborowiak6483 LOL! Nope.

Nobody like Robin. Maybe in a hundred years, but we'll all be dead :(
Who is winning the award? Perhaps find a Clio where jay is funny.
Conan
Seinfeld is hilarious 🤣
I understand it’s off-putting to some people tho

Aren't jokes so much less sophisticated than stories. How does any comedian rate as a story teller. They don't...So with that knowledge intact I say they take all the awards given to comedians back and reissue them to storytellers that entertain with a humorous tone.
And since it wouldn't be right to leave his line out (Milton Berle)
Yeah, but he never did Vaudville.
Jeff Bingaman Dave Chapple is a great story teller
It has the words "Prize for American Humor" in the name of the award. Humor can be storytelling OR joke telling.
So, Seinfeld, Robin Williams and Billy Crystal, all at least a thousand times funnier than Leno.
The closest thing would be his monologue which crushed all other late nights. You're either blind or stupid, i'm guessing the latter.
Jay Leno was the worst fucking stand-up and late night host ever,with the exception of Carson Daly. David letterman was and STILL is the king of late night. Letterman was your favorite comedians favorite comedian. Do you know how Jay leno got the tonight show? He hid in a closet and listened to an nbc meeting about how they wanted letterman to replace Johnny and he threatened to sue them if they didn't give it to him. Leno sucks.
According Letterman "Jay is THE funniest person I've ever known."
Brett Wright during the stand up crap at the comedy store he was good according to Dave. He wasn't talking all time.
Michael Mccollum you could be right. I don't remember him referencing that specifically and I sure as heck don't know either of them personally. Seinfeld also holds Leno is super high regard. Leno isn't that funny to me, I'm just regurgitating what many comics have said about Leno.... like him or not.
I wouldn’t give either one the MT tbh
Jerry and Jay are great... not a fan of the other guys.
Honor him? For what ?
No, Nick. I am 70 years old . Leno is a weasel. There a lot of things that I don't know , but I know that !
For having one of the biggest chins of all time and still beating the odds and becoming a success.
