We Still Miss You Robin...

One whole year ago, at this very time, we lost a man, who I think was and is the world's greatest comedian. I'm very sorry to say that today marks the one year anniversary of Robin Williams death.

I'm sure, as many other people out there probably do, I still really don't want to believe that he's gone.

He was too good at what he did to be gone. But at least we can still have his memories, that he has left behind in his stand up, TV shows, and movies.

 
In the past year, I've watched the entire 4 seasons of Mork and Mindy. All episodes, except the very last. I don't want it to finish, because then it'll just be gone. Sure I can re-watch them, but I'll know what's coming, and to re-watch Robin Williams do something seems like a crime.

That's why I believe that he was our favourite. Because whenever he would do an interview, or a take on set of a movie (so the behind the scenes people say), He would always do something different. No one would become bored.

He was an entertainer.

No matter how many times he was asked the same old boring question (if people actually got the chance to ask a question), he would always give a different answer. Well, the same answer but worded differently.

If you've ever seen Robin Williams in an interview, which I'm sure you have, you would know that he was insanely talented. One of my favourite interviews is with James Lipton on the show Inside the Actor's Studio. Robin, thinking on his feet asks for a lady's scarf from the audience. What he does next is incredible. Improvisation at it's best. Not only is what he does with the scarf unbelievably funny, but it is also so clever. If you want to see that part of the interview, click here.

Please do watch that video, you will not regret it. I am telling you, it is the best thing I've ever seen a human do. Ever.

I hope that Robin Williams will forever be in our memories as one of the world's greatest comics, just as Elvis Presley in etched in our minds as the most famous musician of all time. (Wow. Was that a really bad analogy? I don't know...sorry.)


From the very first thing that Robin ever did to the very last thing he ever did, we will always remember him for giving us so much laughter and joy. I think it's just
terrible that he couldn't feel the same way.

Until Next Time...
Morgan.
