Yes!! I was fortunate to have seen that episode. That’s when I really observed his brilliance. James Lipton was such an important host of that show. He was able to pull out the actors or directors talent in the most subtle ways, so that the viewers could observe raw talent that the artist refined as their career progressed.

LOL, I like how in that Episode with Robin Williams, it took James Lipton 5 minutes (after Robin Williams came out on stage) before he could ask his first question.
LOL, That interview was supposed to be about Robin Williams life and career and instead, Williams turned it into a GREAT standup event. -

Right!! I noticed that right away as well. What I enjoyed so much about Robin’s performance in that session was how easy it was for him to improv. None of it seemed awkward at all, and he went from one to another in quick succession. The ideas he came up with were fresh and unique. Some of it I was like, how did he go from this concept to that seemingly unrelated concept? Eventually I just couldn’t follow because then I was laughing out loud. I was laughing out loud more watching him do his own improv for The Actor’s Studio, and tailored for them? I guess?
Anyways, Robin made me laugh more that time than he has in the scripted movies and tv series I’d seen star in. -

Oh. I didn’t know what to think about that. It seems like everyone loved Robin Williams just as he was. I was stunned to hear about his suicide. For a moment, I thought perhaps the medical examiner or whoever declared the cause of his death was wrong.

Why do you have to say his name?!
I missed that man. I grew up watching him and I remember a few movies made my side hurt.
I heard they were going to create the sequel to Mrs. Doubtfire, which is absolutely my favorite film and I was excited to see what they will do in the sequel until there were news announced his death. Such a shame. Oh, well.
I hope a bear throw a book at you, moon at you, and do a tap dance wearing a thong and leather boots.
