David Letterman Remembers Robin Williams | Letterman

The loss of Robin Williams hurts even to this day.

I don't care how Mr. Williams died, I care how he lived. He was funny & generous & kind. He worked tirelessly with the charities he held dear to him. His films made me laugh, think and cry. There are unbelievable stories of the things he did for his friends: like helping Letterman out early in his career or being the one who finally made Christopher Reeves laugh after his horseback riding accident or snapping Spielberg out of his depressed state while he was directing Schindler's List. That's how I'll remember Robin Williams because that's how he deserves to be remembered. RIP, Captain My Captain.

It's 6/12/2023 and I've watched David Letterman's show(s) ever since he started performing. I'm now 74 years old now, dealing with a couple of health issues, including prostate cancer and a sort of early Alzheimers.. I've loved all of Dave's show and so miss Robin Williams in every thing he did, on TV and in movies. Thanks, YouTube for offering posts such as this one.

This tribute is so amazing. Never seen letterman holding back tears like this. It's a dark world without robin.

There will never be a single person on this earth like this man. Rest in peace ❤

Robin Williams was a gift from God.

Dave at his 3rd most emotional, after 9/11 and introducing the heart team. And I'm grateful for the use of the actual Cast Away music. RIP Mr. Williams.

dare i say, THE most universally loved man in Hollywood, ever.

Robin Williams showed that there's more to be an entertainer than just entertaining people. He changed the lives of millions of people for the better. I can't believe it's almost been a decade. The world is worse place for losing him.

What a gift to the human race he was. I had 2 drama classes w/ him at College of Marin-1973. Needless to say it was difficult for all of us. The instructor fortunately could not control him and we fellow students couldn't perform often. Such a tragedy to lose him so young.

It's been 8 years and 2022 is almost ending and I still miss him and he is still one of a kind. Many celebrities of my childhood have died but his is the only one I have cried ovet

No matter how tough things got, I knew I could always count on robin to make me cry with laughter and forget all my worries. I still feel like a part of me died that day

One thing I love about the tribute is that he didn't focus on Williams making others laugh; the clips focused on times when Williams himself was laughing and enjoying himself.

The three men in the photo shaped a lot of our lives with their humor. Thanks for the memories

This reminds me of my real friends. At 53 I have 5 friends. These 5 people keep me grounded and I can simply be myself around them. What a special connection Robin and Dave had, but knowing what I heard about Robin, he probably had that connection with everyone he crossed paths with.

9 years later and that montage still hits hard.

RIP Mitzi Shore, Robin Williams and Richard Pryor for all the laughter you provided over the years. Thank you. 🙏🎤💔

The most loved comedian in the world. How someone can hide such pain and create so much laughter is beyond me

David Letterman, I miss you and your show hugely. There is no one on late night TV as entertaining as you were. Long live David Letterman.❤🎉❤😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

Williams was.... jazz is to music like Williams was to comedy. strange feeling when someone you never met evokes emotion. The mark of life that touched others. Forever missed.
