This sucks. Poor man. What a talent. RIP

Not Mrs Doubtfire...awwwww

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

Truly sad. Popeye has been a favorite of mine since I was little. And I remember chuckling at some of Mork & Mindy's innocent gags.

RIP, Mr Williams.

I love this guy. Rest in peace, Robin.

Honestly...I never thought him to be funny...it was 70's stoner humor I never enjoyed.
His comedies were not of my taste.
His Dramatic roles, however, were quite enjoyable.
The best RW film you never saw...WORLD'S GREATEST DAD...
Watch it tomorrow nite!!!

RIP Mr William's
Nanoo-Nanoo

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. :sad

I thought Robin Williams was brilliant, a bright bright light.

I am a huge fan, and thought he was the best comedian of our time.

Huge shock and a huge loss.

RIP Robin Williams.

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.

Too often those who make us laugh the hardest, smile the brightest and feel so good, are inwardly very fragile and fighting the darkest of demons.

A tragic and sad irony.

I was a big fan of this funny man and very good actor.

RIP Robin.

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

so sad news...so great actor
RIP Robin....

Great bit. :wtf1

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!

You don't believe how saddened am I with Robin's death. He was one of my favorite actors, and one hell of a talented man who, from what I could read along this years, just wanted to bring happiness to people.

How come my favorite artists, who never meant no harm to anyone, off themselves like that???

First, Roy Buchanan, then Danny Gatton and now...Robin. The world, which sucks balls anyways, is EVEN SUCKIER with his loss.

Rest In Peace, Robin. Much love to you.

May he rest in peace.

Dave Chapelle is another comic genius of our time. Did Robin Williams ever collaborate with Dave?

Seinfeld is overrated.

Two greats, now gone:

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne Grateful for Robin Williams’ Kindness During Sharon’s Cancer Scare

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.”
