Robin Williams Makes an Insane First Appearance | Carson Tonight Show

He was great, but sad he could never just be him ❤

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that’s all I can say

Hard to believe this was once considered funny. So cringe.

Mark Twain said it best: "A comedian isn't a man who says funny things...a comedian is a man who says things funny!" Robin could have read a phone book and had people in stitches. RIP Robin.

What An Incredible Host! No wonder why they say he was one of, if not THE BEST Late Night Show Host! I've seen many of these and they seem to get better and better; he's always great. But this one takes the cake! The way he handled all of that was seamless!

I know for a fact that that helped Robin through this; not having to feel apologetic for being whoever came out of him that day! And Johnny not letting ONE moment of that "ruin" the show. Nor worrying about any of it. Even though Robin refers to the moment as his "career being over". Meaning he knew it was a lot but just couldn't stop.

Johnny made it feel like he didn't have to! 😄 And that he fully enjoyed it. And that it was all welcomed to be apart of the show just fine! 😌

I LOVED Watching This!

And Williams' quick-witted jokes; I love how they land. 😄

long time ago I've been crying from laughter, this man is the definition of comedy!

how much blow?

I never saw Johnny laugh so much. Williams is from another planet, genius!

I read a lot, and I piece together that Robin killed himself because he ran out-of-money in him being the secret person who was financially helping Superman (Christopher). Decades earlier, Robin and Christopher were hitchhiking across the desert in New Mexico to become movie stars in Hollywood. And, one day as their walking out in the desert on a lonely highway heading westbound, they both made a "mutual pledge" to each other, that, if one(1) of them make it big and the other happens to be need of help, the other will help him out. As it later turned out, they both made it big, Robin the star on 1976 Mork and Mendy series, and Christopher as Superman star on the 1979 to 1980's Superman movies, and early -mid 1990's Superman show series. Then, Superman became paralyzed from the neck down, then, about 15 to 20 years later killed himself, about a year after Robin had stopped financially helping Superman. I feel that Robin could not live with himself in feeling he caused Superman to kill himself by cease financially helping him. Robin felt that nobody would understand that he just ran out-of-money... and he didn't want to live like that...therefore, he too killed himself. You would never of dreamed that said "mutual pledge" to one another out there in the desert hitchhiking that day, was actually a death wish...they both killed themselves after both of them had made it big once they had reached Hollywood.

This is the Robin as I will always remember him. He could never get away with his comedy today. People have lost the ability to laugh at themselves, and probably wouldn't understand what a treasure has been take from them. Jesus is probably laughing along with him in the afterlife right now.

Just when you thought you've seen them all. This was GREAT tonight. Been years since I watched him on Johnny Carson.

OH MY GOD, ROBIN!!! YOU WERE SO HILARIOUS!!!🤣🤣🤣

Laughter is the best medicine. He was always the best comedian and well never be replaced

He didnt and couldn't turn off the act sometimes. Always had the dance boy, anytime a camera was on.

But he killed it on Carson

This guy was so talented. What a loss. Even today he can still make people cry of laughter. One of the all time greats.

so many of his best jokes fly right over the top of american audiences

Can I say wow. like me trying to get through my shift at work. I do get myself I trouble. :-).

The funnist Man ever and we have him on tape, and therefore will live forever

By the way , NO ONE made Johnny laugh so hard es Robin Williams !
What an amazing person !

No, because I believe that cocaine is gods way of saying „ you’re making too much money !! „

Might be true …

Wow Johnnie aint dumb either! We have nothing of this level now and the people loved it! Did he really commit suicide? Were there any odd discrepancies?

He could be more of a genius than Einstein! Johnnie got a kick out of him!

I forgave Robin for Mrs. Doubtfire, actually he carried it!

Farley was Robin Williams are just insanely hilarious.

This was beautiful. ♥

Probably the best comedian ever. All of his jokes were off the cuff. I think, like most comedians, he suffered from depression.

❤

the man delivered more Top tier jokes in 5 minutes than some comics deliver in 5 years

He drinks Johnnys coffee..

Never did like dum ass humor like this. None of what he says is funny. How embarrassing for Johnny to have to deal with

Robin Williams was absolutely one of the funniest of all time.

Legendary. Miss you.

I can just imagine how frantic it got in the television director’s booth when Robin jumped off the stage — you can tell they adapted and told the crew how to work it.

Joke after joke after joke and its all improv , both real geniuses of comedy, the I believe cocain is god saying you're making too much money ,was hilarious 😂

OMG!IM IN TEARS!!😂😂😂

He obviously "cruised" the Frisco nights

I just realised Robin was actually a prop comic, only the audience was his prop.

I love it when Johnny cracks up

❤ always the in-betweeners though

Robin Williams did what we needed to Help US and he did very serious Movie's and even Science Fiction so very Thankful for Who He was and still is in our Hearts and Memories ❤

Incredibly hairy hands and arms.

One in a trillion

i watched this on lsd an laughed till my stomach hurt when it first broadcast good times

Robin must have had to take a nap after every performance he did on Carson. High energy from start to finish. Somewhere in heaven Robins killing it with Carson. Two legends sorely missed.

He was paying $30 million / yr to his first 2 ex-wives, $ he can no longer make doing stand up comedy. He suffered intense anxiety and depression. Only time a man can go to prison when $ is involved are not paying taxes and alimony. Alimony only exists in the US !

Williams wasn’t that funny… did he have funny moments? Sure. I liked his movies. But I literally could almost watch this whole interview without laughing. How people are saying this is historic or it’s the best 20 mins in TV history is beyond me.

Schizo

Coke is a helluva drug

When late night was REAL entertainment!
