Robin Williams Breaking Celebrities With Insane Humor

Robin Williams didn't just make people laugh. He made them forget what they were supposed to be doing. Craig Ferguson couldn't finish a sentence. David Letterman described it as hanging onto the microphone for dear life. James Lipton had his blue index cards ready — Williams grabbed a woman's pink shawl from the audience and improvised for seven straight minutes. Someone in that room got hospitalized for a hernia. Lipton just sat there. Jay Leno stopped asking questions entirely. Sally Field spent half the Mrs. Doubtfire shoot laughing so hard she couldn't deliver her lines. The entire cast of Whose Line Is It Anyway — professional improvisers, people trained specifically never to break — broke. Drew Carey walked out of his own scene and let Williams run it alone. Michael Parkinson interviewed every major celebrity of the last fifty years and described Robin Williams as being caught in a very fast, very funny hurricane. Graham Norton invited audience members to do Williams impressions while Williams was sitting right there — then Williams did his own impression of himself and the fans never stood a chance. He went on that same show after heart surgery and did a Michael Jackson impression to explain how the anaesthetic worked. Norton just nodded. And then there's Broadway. A sold-out show. Twenty minutes on how golf was invented by a drunk Scotsman. The audience was holding each other up by the end. Eight rooms. Eight different people whose job was to stay in control. Not one of them made it out intact.
