This sucks. Poor man. What a talent. RIP

tragic. the FUNNIEST and GREATEST comedic talent of his generation and the last forty years . no one could match his riffing, impersonations and naturalness of delivery, dude was out of control. a bright light of madness that time did not diminish. heavy sigh but there will always be laughter

I love this guy. Rest in peace, Robin.

Must have been exhausting just to interview Williams.......

RIP !!!!!

Robin Williams was Johnny Carson's final guest ( along with Bette Midler ) for a reason .

Everybody fights their demons. Not everyone wins.............he was a fixture on a very big local comedy scene in San Francisco. Hits real hard around these parts. 

Really sad.  Good Morning Vietnam is my favorite movie ever.  Classic case of how one's inner life can be completely at odds with what he/she presents to the outside world.

such a tragedy when someone who brings so much joy & happiness to the world cannot, themselves, be happy.

The guy was a comedic genius and a tremendous actor across comedy and serious roles....not many have achieved that and maybe none as well as Robin...RIP and hope he finds inner peace at last

Its a tragic ending to his life. Didn't he know everyone would be talking about how he hung himself and slit his wrist? Its so sad, I feel so sorry for him, I wish he thought this through and changed his mind.  It seems he didnt care anymore, but why? He had so much to live for, I just cant wrap my head around this one. I loved his serious role in Good Will Hunting. RIP Robin!

Two greats, now gone:

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne were among the first celebrities to publicly share their grief over Robin Williams‘ death, and for good reason: Williams earned the Osbournes’ eternal adoration with a gesture of kindness after Sharon’s cancer diagnosis in 2002.

“I’m forever in debt to Robin Williams,” Ozzy explained to VH1 Radio Network’s Dave Basner. “When Sharon was diagnosed with colon cancer, I’d seen the film ‘Patch Adams’ and it was a very — I don’t know if you ever saw that film he made. It’s about a guy who was a male nurse or something in a hospital and he was working with terminal people, and I thought, ‘What a great thing to do, and he’s a very funny man, Robin Williams.’ I got my agent to contact him and ask if he’d be so kind as to come around and talk to my wife, which he did. It was very nice of him.”

In a 2002 talk with National Enquirer, Sharon set the scene. “I was in bed when he came by, half asleep and a little woozy from some of the medication the doctors had given me to take Suddenly, there’s a knock on my bedroom door and I say, ‘Come in.’ And there’s Robin Williams standing in front of me,” she said. “Well, I thought I must be dreaming. In fact, I thought I was hallucinating from the drugs I’d been given! I couldn’t think of what to say, so I said, ‘Does Ozzy know you’re here?’ Then, Robin got in bed with me and said, ‘Shhh! No, he doesn’t and don’t tell him!’ Well, that just cracked me up. I was in bed with Robin Williams. I started laughing hysterically. For the next two hours, he just cuddled me.”

It continues to be a precious memory for Sharon, who tweeted that “The entire Osbourne Family is grieving the loss of a kind, funny, generous and talented man.” As she told the Enquirer, “He was just the nicest, most giving guy in the world — he did so much for me.” Added Ozzy, “Forever and a day, I will love that man.”
