Neomet Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 One of the greatest improvisational comedians of all time. So sad. "O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) He, apparently, had a lifetime fight with depression. Whether he was bipolar (manic/depression) or not, I'm not sure but he never publicly admitted it or even admitted to ongoing clinical depression. But I seem to recall he admitted in an interview a number of years ago that he had been seeing a psychiatrist and that it had been very helpful. It's worth noting that people with depression are seldom "depressed about something." People can be rich, and successful, with everything to live for and still be so deeply depressed that suicide seems a reasonable solution.

Duke Nukem Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 He was very Anti-Gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 He was very Anti-Gun.And there it is! I knew somebody would dig that up. Personally there are so many anti gun entities and people that I don't even care anymore. Not every person in the world is going to be a gun nut like most of us here. It has no bearing on the Nan's ability to entertain us for all these years.I say RIP regardless of his personal convictions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHAVEGAS Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 There was an interesting article in one of the Doctors waiting room type health mags a few years back. It speculated that his ability to rapid fire thought streams (reference, some of the old Mork & Mindy & stand up when he was young) was very like Turrets Syndrome turned in a different direction. Regardless, I hate that he is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GARD72977 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I remember watching Mork and Mindy when I was a kid. I got a Mork egg for Christmas one year. RIP Mr. Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightshot Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 "Here's my idea for a sport..." One of the best stand-ups I have seen. Would have been great to make it to a show in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1125 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 The world will be a more somber place without him in it. I feel like I have lost a friend. Thank you for the laughs and the time you shared with us Robin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I enjoyed much of his work as well. You'd have to work pretty hard not to. Much of the time I felt like I was laughing at someone who was...well...sick...and higher than a kite. He appearances on Carson were good examples of this. Manic. It looks as though his network in the industry had brushed him aside, discarded him. Typical of that "place". That he took his own life was in no way a surprise to me. The manner he choose to take it was. The ultimate flip off IMO. R.I.P. dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
