Obviously Robin is a comic genius, but Billy... no matter what lunacy came out of Robin, he went with it seamlessly. If only we could all have a friend like that.
You know you are incredible when you can bring fellow comics to tears, laughing so hard. I'm watching this on train to work, laughing my ass off. People are wondering WTF is wrong with me. Lol!!!!
Just watching Billy alone on the stage talking about Robin is one of the most painful things. I'm eternally grateful to RUclips and its content creators who have kept Robin alive for all of us, forever.
@@bestofhumans4715 dude I saw your channel and just knew you’d have a robin williams video. I’ve never heard a bad thing about him. Never. That alone shows how beloved he was. I tried falling asleep to the Marc maron podcast when robin was a guest. I had to turn it off bc I was laughing too much to sleep.
This tape when I 1 st saw it over 3 yrs. Ago was a fund raising benefit for the homeless. & the adio is totally out of sinc !!!!! This original was was 2 hours long!!! This post should totally be re-done & corrected. People do recall & remember!!!!
Billy and Robin appeared on Leno in 1998 to plug "Father's Day." If you watch the entire interview closely (part of it is in this clip from about 8:30 - 13:30 and the entire thing is elsewhere here on YT) you can see the moment Leno decides, "screw it, it's their show now" and gave up on trying to do any semblance of an interview And they went for at least another 15-20 minutes after that.
My personal favorite line from Robin was when he was on the Actor's studio and he's being asked: "If heaven exists, what would you like to hear when you reach the pearly gates?" and his answer was: "Two jews walk into a bar..." Just the idea that God himself would tell him a joke. I like to think he's sitting next to Him exchanging funny jokes. I truly miss you Robin! Hope you're laughing as hard as you made us laugh now.
James Lipton said, more than once, that of the several hundred "Inside the Actor's Studio" episodes he filmed, far and away he got the most questions and comments about the one with Robin. And most of *those* were about the impromptu performance with the scarf.
@@johndybala8580 Well yeah! If you've seen the whole interview, you understand why. Most people would just answer the questions and sometimes be funny. Robin Williams answered the questions but also went into a full performance at the same time. It is quite amazing to witness.
@@rickylyon3846 That's how he was in all interviews over the years. He gets asked one question then he's on a roll and goes into super funny mode and they have to wait till hes done then he gets asked another question, the off Robin goes again. I always look forward to him on any interview and I will always miss that.
There will never be another Robin Williams...his wit and delivery along with his facial expressions and physical energy were unbeatable. AND - he was just a really kind and genuine person.
I'm always on the verge of tears when I see Robin Williams, even now, six years after his death. When someone brings so much joy and laughter to the world, the absence of it is deafening.
I love how Whoopi’s just back there LOSING it watching her best friends be genius and nearly peeing herself. What a friendship they have. I love them all.
I can never understand how some people don't find Billy talented. It's okay if you don't laugh. Humor is subjective. But the man is entertaining and has presence.
I've had patients with LB disease. The horror of the experience of having that illness makes ending it by ending life make sense. He was a wonderful, brilliant person who was very aware of his decline and he prevented the worst part of the experience of the illness.
NOTHING will ever make sense of taking your own life!! That’s the spirit of suicide!!! no matter what he was gonna go through you go through it no matter what you don’t take your life and put that much pain on your loved ones that’s NOT OK!!
I miss Robin so much. I was just asking my wife, you know, with all this in the world right now, it would be so nice to have Robin Williams take on it. He was one of my greatest heroes
Robin on speed must have been invisible to the naked eye. I miss this man so much it hurts. I see him and a smile...and in seconds I am doubled over in tears with laughter. The man was pure genius. R.I.P. Robin...gone but never forgotten.
Knowing we will never have him again or anyone like him makes me tear up. The day he died, I felt like part of me died. I miss him so much and I never even met him. What a man.
What Robin Williams' gave to the world was laughter, he gave everything he had and we loved him even more.... Now he has passed from our lives, but we will always have him on film, such a brilliant mind gone far too soon.... I don't have to read other tributes to know just how much Robin has meant to the entire globe, a real power house of enormous talent with such presence and a great entertainer..... Sadly missed, loved and remembered always.
Robin Williams, like his idol and mentor, Jonathan Winters, was not just funny, he was absolutely brilliant. His delivery was brutally honest and always laced with humor. He was truly one of a kind and will be sorely missed. Wherever he is right now, I'm sure he's cracking everyone up just as he did here on earth.
I cried like a baby when he died. I remembered all of the joy he brought me when I was a kid. The million and 1 times I popped that Mrs. Doubtfire tape in my VCR. My second favorite film after that being Bicentennial Man and the beautiful memory I had of watching that in the theater. He enriched so many of our childhoods, he was such a special man.
I’m sobbing as I write this. Rest In Peace, Robin Williams. Or, if not in peace, then I wish you endless happiness, fun, and laughter in the place that we go when we die, wherever that may be. You always have been and always will be a legend, even if you are no longer with us. I cannot thank you enough for being so incredible and lifting the spirits of so many people.
Hearing Billy talk about Robin just melts my heart. Their friendship was so amazing. They're both super forces and Im glad we get to watch these on the internet.
To this day I believe that Robin Williams was the greatest comedian of all time who not only made more people laugh than anyone else in history, he made us look at ourselves and realize what's really important in this life: Each other. I think he, more than any celebrity ever, will be missed. The first time I saw Robin and Billy together was very early footage from The Improv, in the early 80s, Robin was speaking trying to sound like an older black southern gent and Billy was doing the "sign language", hilarious!
Billy Crystal and Robin Williams...comical talents from the stratosphere...and such a sweet and special friendship...and I know Billy Crystal, too, will eventually be gone...here's to you, the both of you, entertaining giants!
every time i hear Robin's line "this is so much cheaper than therapy", i cry a little. i so wish that he might have tried a little more therapy and still be with us.
Therapy had nothing to do with it. Trying a little more therapy was not the answer to having LBD. He had over 40 indications of this disease that robbed him of his mind, his body and his spirit. He would not still be with us with a little more therapy. I would strongly suggest that you read the article that his wife wrote regarding his passing and his last days. It will enlighten you so that you won’t go around thinking and talking about how he needed more therapy and would still be with us. That’s a blatant falsehood. It’s unfortunate but it’s true.
Williams and Crystal--the best unofficial comedy team EVER. Crystal was an excellent straight man for Williams. Biggest loss to comedy is the album of 'phone calls' they never got to make.
Robin and Billy really played off of one another seamlessly. So damned funny. Robin was on the verge of insanity a pure genius. But Billy really was the perfect straight man for him.
Leigh Ann ...Yes, Yes Leigh Ann. It truly is the exact damn Best medicine AND most effective therapy known to man-womanKind. God bless us all. Absolutely. Now, my good Rx of 22yrs certainly do their fine chemistry magic of mostly helping the very job of keeping the calm status quo for me. But humorous talents I've had in front of me, All of them, work wonders on me, on everyone's Need for a big, crazy shot of Endorphins to transform our brains/bodies/moods et al, to a much Better place, a productive place, a Loving Place. Yes, Laughter is a great and safe way to empowering one that's hurting. It's the perfect "tool" to aid in fixing broken folks.
Robin William leaving us 7 years ago, I am still weeping that he is not here with us. Billy to stay up with Robin should tell how magnificent he is. The two together formed the greatest comedy team since Martin and Lewis. Billy please stay with us .... Please!!
The Unstoppable Robin Williams. All you can do is try like hell to point him in the right direction and god forbid you lose control cause you'll never get it back! Miss you man
Words cannot describe how much I miss and feel sad about Robin Williams. I'm serious, if I had a time machine one of the first things I would do is try to help him
Magical moments that would never believe if it were never recorded! Thank you Robin Williams for being a great entertainer you are. Billy did well to harvest that energy and deliver comic gold!
Love the description haha It is difficult to just exist near Robin Williams... but Billy Cristal still was able to shine and their performances are not only funny but very generous, they won't stop a joke before they worn it out and that's such a great experience as a viewer
I'm SO glad they had each other as BEST friends 🧡 you KNOW the way they played off each other... God bless them both....I'm SO glad/thankful they have the clip from Friends on here also.
The chemistry between these two was amazingIt would be really cool if I had a good friend like that I’m telling you everybody should have a friend like that
Thinking about robin passing makes you feel like someone in your family passed away. There's a sadness you can't quite express. Because i'm shedding a tear over a man i never met or never knew, because i miss him dearly.
Whoopi such a great friend too. I get so many tears thinking about how close all three were. The tribute they did on The View was just heart wrenching.
That tribute is still gut-wrenching to watch. Say what you want about Whoopi's politics, but for the nine minutes of that video, you are not watching Whoopi. You are watching Caryn being helped by her friend William as she tries to pick up the ten million pieces of her shattered heart.
Robin Williams a one of a kind comic genius. I got a huge kick out of Johnny Carson, who I watched faithfully laugh uncontrollably WITH Robin Williams. He seemed to me to be the very few who got a genuine belly/gut laugh out loud from Mr. Carson. I enjoyed the two of them immensely.
Robin had the most incredible energy, with a brain that was just spitting out information faster than most people think....and then there's Billy. His ability to point Robin's energy/control it was truly amazing to watch. He just understood his comedy and how to make it flourish. RIP Robin
When Robin died so many of his friends and acting partners sent out their messages, usually over Twitter or other social media. I think Billy managed to express his sadness with the most dignity and respect just by saying 'No words.'
In the tribute he did with Whoopi, he said that they would routinely call each other on the phone and, as Billy put it, "we were on the phone for hours and never talked as ourselves." The Leno clip is one of those times when you are given a peek into that part of their friendship.
Never one who was ever all that into Friends, but the thing I was most-impressed with regarding that clip was how the main cast-members were able to maintain their composure through that scene and not break character, succumbing to breathless fits of laughter -- I know that I couldn't possibly have been able to keep my shit together in any of their places no matter how many takes were taken.
I never met him and I miss him so much it hurts, I can't imagine what it must be like for his friends and family. :( At least we still have moments like these on the interwebs :) Hope yr still crackin them up wherever you are now bro,
Seeing them together for so many clips and then seeing that one clip of Billy by himself talking about their relationship in the pastense... :( They had such an amazing iconic friendship :)

Obviously Robin is a comic genius, but Billy... no matter what lunacy came out of Robin, he went with it seamlessly.
If only we could all have a friend like that.
Joe L: Perhaps the only other contemporary comedian who could come close to keeping-pace with Williams as his second banana.
Joe L speak for yourself
You know you are incredible when you can bring fellow comics to tears, laughing so hard. I'm watching this on train to work, laughing my ass off. People are wondering WTF is wrong with me. Lol!!!!
The straight man
Oh c'mon. They both snorted half of Columbia small trees leaf's ground in powder :)
Just watching Billy alone on the stage talking about Robin is one of the most painful things. I'm eternally grateful to RUclips and its content creators who have kept Robin alive for all of us, forever.
I still can’t watch Robin Williams movies. Too raw. This was the most difficult video I ever made. Thanks for watching and keeping Robin alive
@@bestofhumans4715 dude I saw your channel and just knew you’d have a robin williams video. I’ve never heard a bad thing about him. Never. That alone shows how beloved he was.

Aside from the constant sound cuts..agreed! Confusing, but that’s censorship! 🤬 #CancelCancelCulture ❤️
This tape when I 1 st saw it over 3 yrs. Ago was a fund raising benefit for the homeless. & the adio is totally out of sinc !!!!! This original was was 2 hours long!!! This post should totally be re-done & corrected.
People do recall & remember!!!!
J leno. The nicest màn you ever could ever talk to
Their appearance on Friends may have been the best guest star in the entire show's run. It was nearly 3 minutes of crying from laughter.
They probably did forget their lines after Robin & Billy left. The story was insane.
Billy and Robin appeared on Leno in 1998 to plug "Father's Day." If you watch the entire interview closely (part of it is in this clip from about 8:30 - 13:30 and the entire thing is elsewhere here on YT) you can see the moment Leno decides, "screw it, it's their show now" and gave up on trying to do any semblance of an interview And they went for at least another 15-20 minutes after that.
Billy Crystal makes him come alive again
that can only be real friendship .
My personal favorite line from Robin was when he was on the Actor's studio and he's being asked: "If heaven exists, what would you like to hear when you reach the pearly gates?" and his answer was: "Two jews walk into a bar..."

If the virus is getting you down, watch anything with Robin or Billy! Laugh out Loud! Feel better!
Been watching Robin Williams🤣😆🤣😂😂
I have been on a Robin stand up binge, personally
I used to watch it with my step mom and her boyfriend at the time
Robin Williams saved my life, literally. I can never thank him enough. 😭
There will never be another Robin Williams...his wit and delivery along with his facial expressions and physical energy were unbeatable. AND - he was just a really kind and genuine person.
I'm always on the verge of tears when I see Robin Williams, even now, six years after his death. When someone brings so much joy and laughter to the world, the absence of it is deafening.
So well written.
Billy Crystal is a living legend. Robin is missed and a great comedian, Billy Crystal had the most iconic comedic timing.
How can you miss a person so much, who you never knew? The world is a lot more grey without you Robin.
I love how Whoopi’s just back there LOSING it watching her best friends be genius and nearly peeing herself. What a friendship they have. I love them all.
I can never understand how some people don't find Billy talented. It's okay if you don't laugh. Humor is subjective. But the man is entertaining and has presence.
city slickers is a great movie!
Pardon me, there’s always someone who doesn’t like someone else
Well, I will guess: they are either trolls or Nazis. Either way - don't talk to them.
I thought he was a genius in Soap. Absolute genius.
You have to be a great comedian to keep up with Robin Williams.. what a genius!
Billy's right... 'Robin Williams, what a concept'. Magnificent in all facets of humanity.
And that was a wonderful callback to Robin's first record.
I've had patients with LB disease. The horror of the experience of having that illness makes ending it by ending life make sense. He was a wonderful, brilliant person who was very aware of his decline and he prevented the worst part of the experience of the illness.
So sad....😢
NOTHING will ever make sense of taking your own life!! That’s the spirit of suicide!!! no matter what he was gonna go through you go through it no matter what you don’t take your life and put that much pain on your loved ones that’s NOT OK!!
I miss Robin so much. I was just asking my wife, you know, with all this in the world right now, it would be so nice to have Robin Williams take on it. He was one of my greatest heroes
Was just thinking the same when you commented this. Much love ✌️
Same!!❤
Hugs and love to you and yours were all feeling his ABSENCE. I can only hope and pray that he knew how much he was truly loved.❤
There will NEVER be another Robin Williams.
Robin on speed must have been invisible to the naked eye. I miss this man so much it hurts. I see him and a smile...and in seconds I am doubled over in tears with laughter. The man was pure genius. R.I.P. Robin...gone but never forgotten.
So very well said 👍
I love when he realizes it's Billy who is congratulating him on the Oscar win and he sort of falls into his arms and sighs. 21:59 It's really special.
Jordan Peters Agreed it’s the thumbnail
22:59?
But the clip is only 22:27.... 🤔
DeVot Garrett your right, I was one number off. I’ll correct it.
@@mrg1315 It's okay. The contacts makes it even better
This is great , I never get tired of listening to Robin
Knowing we will never have him again or anyone like him makes me tear up. The day he died, I felt like part of me died. I miss him so much and I never even met him. What a man.
Thanks for sharing. Robin's energy gave us 80 years of satisfaction.
I miss that hyperactive yet insightful man so much, and I LOVE his bromance with Billy so much.
What Robin Williams' gave to the world was laughter, he gave everything he had and we loved him even more....
Now he has passed from our lives, but we will always have him on film, such a brilliant mind gone far too soon....
I don't have to read other tributes to know just how much Robin has meant to the entire globe, a real power house
of enormous talent with such presence and a great entertainer..... Sadly missed, loved and remembered always.
Your sentiments are so very perfect and precious for the world who love him. 🥰
Yes, I'm crying as I watch
Robin Williams, like his idol and mentor, Jonathan Winters, was not just funny, he was absolutely brilliant. His delivery was brutally honest and always laced with humor.

Misread that as “just not funny”
Lol jonathan winters a true star
When he passed away, i realized my childhood and it's amazing experiences on film, died with him. Rest in peace, Robin.
I cried like a baby when he died. I remembered all of the joy he brought me when I was a kid. The million and 1 times I popped that Mrs. Doubtfire tape in my VCR.

Him and Mr Rodney Dangerfield
Jonathan Winters was Robins mentor and if you look at Jonathans recordings on RUclips you will see a good deal of him in Robin.
The words spoken by Billy Christal at the memorial were the kindest sweetest and most insitefull ..RIP Robin...the universe loves you.
Billy Crystal and Robin Williams...comical talents from the stratosphere...and such a sweet and special friendship...and I know Billy Crystal, too, will eventually be gone...here's to you, the both of you, entertaining giants!
Parkinson (British talk show host) beautifully summed up Robin's genius : Much imitated, rarely equaled and never surpassed.
What a pair of pals! Lethal comedy together. Billy's own sense of humor only encouraged Robin to act crazier than ever haha
Robin You are part of us
so true
every time i hear Robin's line "this is so much cheaper than therapy", i cry a little.
i so wish that he might have tried a little more therapy and still be with us.
Therapy had nothing to do with it. Trying a little more therapy was not the answer to having LBD. He had over 40 indications of this disease that robbed him of his mind, his body and his spirit.

And no BigPharma at the end... xo
Williams and Crystal--the best unofficial comedy team EVER. Crystal was an excellent straight man for Williams. Biggest loss to comedy is the album of 'phone calls' they never got to make.
Thank you Billy Crystal for sharing . Any memoirs of Robin are great ones . I long to hear more and keep him fresh in my heart and mind ...
The two greatest men in comedy. I miss you robin and Billy you are one of a kind
I miss him, he could make you laugh even when you were crying to begin with
Robin and Billy really played off of one another seamlessly. So damned funny. Robin was on the verge of insanity a pure genius. But Billy really was the perfect straight man for him.
This brilliance just makes my heart ache even more , wished you could have stayed Robin... We miss you... R.I.P.
A young Billy Crystal was a bit of a babe...just saying. The 2 of them together just warm my heart
❤️ RIP Robin
Flossy 2000000% agree!!!
Young Robin Williams was something else though 🔥
pure genius, we all miss you robin
Robin ^ Billy, what an incredible team! What else can we ask for...
Robin you will be missed for ever ,RIP
As long as we have Robin on film we will always have laughter! :)
Kaff231 your so right Kaff231 miss him already there no replacement of the one and only Robin Williams and crystal
We'll miss his "soul" or "self" which is what we all loved! -Saga Poe Robin!

these two were magic...., we will never forget Robin
Quick, someone contact NSA to find out if they recorded phone conversations between Robin and Billy!!
;^}
Robin William leaving us 7 years ago, I am still weeping that he is not here with us. Billy to stay up with Robin should tell how magnificent he is. The two together formed the greatest comedy team since Martin and Lewis. Billy please stay with us .... Please!!
I don't know who to thank for putting this together...you did a great job...thank you.
Robert Blevins appreciate it, friend.
The Unstoppable Robin Williams. All you can do is try like hell to point him in the right direction and god forbid you lose control cause you'll never get it back! Miss you man
Words cannot describe how much I miss and feel sad about Robin Williams. I'm serious, if I had a time machine one of the first things I would do is try to help him
Thank you universe for letting me be alive to see such comic geniuses like Robin and Billy!!!
“A reverse Oreo” I SCREAMED laughing at that!
I miss him so much! ..and you two together! Outstanding!! 👏👏🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️🌹🙏🏽
Oh Crap! I hadn't ever seen the 'Friends' clip! So great!
Magical moments that would never believe if it were never recorded! Thank you Robin Williams for being a great entertainer you are. Billy did well to harvest that energy and deliver comic gold!
So greatly missed. One of a kind. RIP Sir Robyn!
Touching to hear Billy talk about him in the past 😢
Love the description haha
It is difficult to just exist near Robin Williams... but Billy Cristal still was able to shine and their performances are not only funny but very generous, they won't stop a joke before they worn it out and that's such a great experience as a viewer
Not many can hold their own with Robin Williams. Billy Crystal is amazing in that respect...
I'm SO glad they had each other as BEST friends 🧡 you KNOW the way they played off each other... God bless them both....I'm SO glad/thankful they have the clip from Friends on here also.
Robin was a terrific actor, among the finest mature actors that EVER PERFORMED.....
I feel better after watching this.
I keep coming back to this....it's so perfect.
Billy Crystal is also a comic genius. He's very witty. I love 'When Harry met Sally'.
Thank you for posting, never gets bored of watching the legend of laughing.
That was beautifully edited, especially the ending. Thank you so much for sharing.
Simply the best. I've got to add, the funniest thing Robin ever did was Elmer Fudd sings Bruce Springsteen..... ''When we kiss Fi wa....''
Love Robin! He can't be gone! I love them together! Billy and Robin!!!
The chemistry between these two was amazingIt would be really cool if I had a good friend like that I’m telling you everybody should have a friend like that
Mighty Matthew especially in the segment were Robin is behind Billy talking for him. Wow!
Thinking about robin passing makes you feel like someone in your family passed away. There's a sadness you can't quite express. Because i'm shedding a tear over a man i never met or never knew, because i miss him dearly.
Not only is he keeping up with Robin, which is an achievement in itself, but he does it seemless.
OMG, I miss these three together. Rest in peace, Robin. You are a shooting star. These three together can always make me smile.
Whoopi such a great friend too. I get so many tears thinking about how close all three were. The tribute they did on The View was just heart wrenching.
That tribute is still gut-wrenching to watch. Say what you want about Whoopi's politics, but for the nine minutes of that video, you are not watching Whoopi. You are watching Caryn being helped by her friend William as she tries to pick up the ten million pieces of her shattered heart.

When Robin died so many of his friends and acting partners sent out their messages, usually over Twitter or other social media. I think Billy managed to express his sadness with the most dignity and respect just by saying 'No words.'
I love how they riff of each other. Billy would let Robin loose, let him crazy it up a bit and then play off anything that came at him brilliantly.
In the tribute he did with Whoopi, he said that they would routinely call each other on the phone and, as Billy put it, "we were on the phone for hours and never talked as ourselves." The Leno clip is one of those times when you are given a peek into that part of their friendship.

I will forever miss this beautiful man :(
"I'M RUMPLEFORESKIN!"
I read this as he said it XD
These two were very close, and best friends, and I love them both. I wish that I could have been best friends with both of them.
miss him
Cee Bee Me too😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
nice recap, well done, thx
this is so good! i love this! He was something else, nothing compares.
Never gonna be another robin. R.I.P. Bangarang!!!!
First scene shows 3 of the greatest comedians of all time!
love them to death.. they were a match in heaven
he must be the best ad lib artist of all time.
I'm tearing up! They are so good! Amazing. I love you Robin W.! Whoopie & Billy you are all The Greatest! Thank you! :)
Whoopi was just hanging on and didn't know which way to turn! 😂😂😂
We miss you so much, Robin Williams. My God, you & Billy Crystal were like Martin & Lewis. 😄😅😅
I never met him and I miss him so much it hurts, I can't imagine what it must be like for his friends and family. :( At least we still have moments like these on the interwebs :) Hope yr still crackin them up wherever you are now bro,
Seeing them together for so many clips and then seeing that one clip of Billy by himself talking about their relationship in the pastense... :( They had such an amazing iconic friendship :)
This is the power of great improv work between them while one is on another level - the power of art acceptance and love
Thank you for posting this.
