Billy Crystal Remembers His Friend, Robin Williams

I'm watching this almost 6 years later and I'm still not over the fact that he's gone.

[frankinsaneandmyrrh]

The way Billy lit up when Jimmy said he had a story about Robin made me tear up.

[bluefacedquack]

Billy Crystal seems like such a nice guy. Like a genuine all-around nice guy.

[KellyPettit]

I still search for Robin stuff on YouTube all the time. Still miss him. Still makes me laugh. Thank you Mr. Williams for your amazing talent and good nature. RIP

[luckichrm]

And then Billy Crystal stood up in the end and the tears just flooded down my face.

[vars]

It still feels like someone close to me passed away even though I never even met him

[theHardyMonster]

I am 31 years old and Robin William's death was the first celebrity passing where I thought a part of my childhood had died.

[ISBuckley]

That bus sounds freaking legendary. Some of the funniest actors together on one bus, and I loved how Robin wasn't afraid to make fun of himself. He truly was one of a kind, and I still miss him even today

[meganmars]

a friend of mine made a picture with him and wrote on it: "It's so strange that we now live in a world without Robin Williams in it." My God, how true that is! He's such a huge part of our history!!

[alyssapeet]

i cannot believe the world has been without robin for ten years. his movies were my childhood. it breaks my heart and makes me happy at the same time to see clips of him 🥺

[TokyoKazama]

Wow, those were some good stories. Robin Williams was, sorry *is* a legend - in every sense of the word.

[lukericketts]

Robin Williams will forever be missed, such an undeniable talent that simply cannot be matched

[desmondbarry]

I was Robins Landlord back in the "Mork & Mindy" days he had an apartment at "Peyton Hall" in Hollywood, so did McLane Stevenson, of Mash, Robin was such a shy person It's incredible to think he's gone now

[SchoolofMNRock]

Nicest guy ever. I can't believe I got to meet him and talk to him. He will always be missed. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Rest in peace Robin Williams you will be missed.

[FlippytheMasterofPie]

Still can't get over it. I've never been affected by a celebrity death like this. I genuinely miss him--and I've never met the guy!

[MissLaceyNoel]

One of the saddest losses in Hollywood. RIP.

[greatdayswithhim]

Billy always comes across as real genuine. You know, kind of like that "warm-hearted neighbor you sit with and drink coffee while talking about anything and everything all morning long" kind of neighbor. You walk away knowing "today is going to be a good day".... that is the type of person he has always reminded me of.

[rhondamaddux]

Just love it. Bless Billy's heart. We all love Robin so much.

[jamiedeering]

I heard recently someone say " you don't truly die til people stop using your name " we need to keep Robin Williams name and memory alive forever, he can never be forgotten

[IAJ]

Rest in Peace, Robin. You are dearly missed.
