The talented Robin Williams was one of the most brilliant actors and one of the wittiest stand-up comedians of his time. In this hilarious interview with legendary Jimmy Carson, Robin steals the show by showcasing his entertaining talents.
Upon entry, Robin Williams seems like a motorized toy that just had new batteries inserted. Out of the starting blocks, he is all over the show. He entertains and enlightens the host and the crowd and has everybody in stitches.
Robin Williams received five Grammys, four Golden Globes, two Emmys, and an Oscar during his career. It is clear to see in the video that he deserved those awards. His improv skills and ability to turn everything into a hysterical joke are well showcased in this video.
In this video, Johnny Carson attempts to interview him about his latest movie, “Awakenings”, co-starring Robert De Niro. But before Jimmy could even get to the serious business, Robin fires away with heaps of sidesplitting jokes.
Poor Johnny Carson must have had aching cheeks and burning stomach muscles. He is seen cracking up every time that William goes on another riotous rant. And then, there are the impersonations and the accents that William perfected.
Robin impersonates many actors, including Robert De Niro, Arnold Swarzenegger, and Jack Nickolson. He also impersonates other celebrities and historical figures, such as a drunk version of William Shakespeare. His accent and mannerisms perfectly mirror these celebrities, which make the jokes even more brilliant.
A fan of the video wrote online: ‘No one ever made Johnny Carson laugh like Robin Williams. He loved having him on the tonight show.’ It is difficult to argue with this comment, seeing how Johnny is left close to tears after William’s jokes.
