While that clip that The Tonight Show presented was great, I didn't need to see Fallon break out his Robin Williams impression for cheap applause.

Nobody cares about Rik Mayall either.

I don't think any celebrity death in recent memory has touched as many people as Robin Williams' has. It's hard to not have seen many of his films and at least enjoyed some of them, if not love them.

He was definitely one of my favorite actors and comedians. This is such terrible news. This is the worst reaction I've had to a celebrity death I think maybe ever. Heath ledger was a pretty big one mostly because he was so young and his career really seemed to be taking off. It makes you sad because you think of all the potentially great things he could have done with his career that we will never see. And now I feel kind of the same with robin Williams in a way. Maybe not so much with future movies roles as knowing he would continue to make people laugh. Did anyone else see the news story about the gorilla they believe is sad over his death. I don't know if there is any truth to that but the video of him with the gorilla is great.

Fixed.

Good one. He wasn't listed on any Celebrity Death List that I browsed.

Conan did actually the best, he did it to end the show on it in Monday, as it was announced during the taping. His tribute on Tuesday was cool too (Had clips all the way back from what looked like Jumanji.

I think you should have loved him

Haha, is that a scientifically researched list? Why isn't Ramis above fucking Uncle Phil?

Because Ramis was a cockstain. Uncle Phil was a TV legend.

What? Ramis was nearly the comedy legend that Williams was. His brand of humor influenced a generation of comedy films. Uncle Phil was my man, but his death didn't cause that much of a ripple beyond 90s nostalgia.

No one is talking about this, but I assume he was severely fucked up on something when he did this. That certainly impairs his judgement, which I think sort of undercuts the point about him being aware of the pain he was causing ,or being selfish. (not to mention, from what I've read, his level of depression works like this:

“The so-called ‘psychotically depressed’ person who tries to kill herself doesn’t do so out of quote ‘hopelessness’ or any abstract conviction that life’s assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It’s not desiring the fall; it’s terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling ‘Don’t!’ and ‘Hang on!’, can understand the jump. Not really. You’d have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling.”
― David Foster Wallace)

Apparently Williams had early stage Parkinson's disease according to his wife who released a statement about it earlier today. Very sad.

Its such cruel irony that one of his last movies was Angriest Man in Brooklyn that almost mirror what has happened in his life.

Death to Smoochy and Fischer King too.

Fuck. I've had to watch my Dad go through this over the past 15 years, and I can't imagine how daunting that news must have been for Robin.

This video?



That was a guy who could enjoy life as much as he apparently couldn't at the end. I miss him a lot.

For a guy who had such a physical gift for comedy this must have been devastating for him.

Just out of curiosity. I love everything about Williams, I've pretty much seen everything about him. But has anyone seen anything about him the last few days whether it be facebook, twitter, etc that may not have been well known. I'd love to see it.

Here is Williams on the rare appearance on whose line. They use to have the full ep. but here are the highlights.

Used to like that show, but RW is so unfunny there.

It's too out of context to be that funny, especially when the first clip is like a 5 minute scene, he and Wayne did this awesome music number, and him and Ryan one upped each other on Carol Channing impressions that was amazing.

The sight of an unnecessary bump made me think he had died all over again!
