Welcome to the Letterman YouTube Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show – as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. These highlights have been artisanly-produced, carefully-curated, and chosen completely at random by an old computer that used to pick numbers for the New York Lotto back in the 90’s.
The background music was very moving. Does anybody know what particular piece it is and by whom?
I loved this wonderful tribute to Robin Williams, Dave. I saw Robin Williams at the Fox Theater in St. Louis. He had the audience laughing all night. He had a table beside him with a whole bunch of water bottles. He kept drinking them as he cracked joke after joke. — Terri Johnson
Nice tribute until you added the sentimental music. Why?
Wonderful tribute Letterman your friend would be proud.
I honestly thought Richard Pryor was Steve Harvey
Still makes me cry to see him.
Robin Williams was hilarious. I could have never guessed he would go out like that. I imagined he would be someone who lived to be 83 years old and still making people bust their sides laughing.
great video at the end.
To all the people hating on Dave, I’m not crazy about him myself, I find him boring and unfunny, but at least he’s not a total classless dickhead like Jay Leno.
I’m not one to advertise, but I uploaded a theoretical video about Robin Williams death/Suicide Note (Thoughts on the day) Please view it for an awakening on his last day on earth!
💔🥺😢
🙁
I can imagine how much harder this was for Letterman since he has been a little open about his own struggles with depression.
What a beautiful man he was. God bless him. What a loss… he was so good to others, so generous and kind. Even after all these months, I still can’t get my mind around "WHY?" Good tribute David.
So glad yt had this one on my list of vids… so Sad that he didn’t find a way to overcome the hell he was living with. If only… ❤️
We loved Robin. We needed him. How very sad that at the end of his life this magnificent man who brought laughter to millions died in isolation and pain. It’s heartbreaking.
He will be missed, this brought me to tears. He will live in our hearts forever. :,(
David said it was gonna be funny mann that clip made me cry!
What was the name of the song played during the memorial? I know its from a movie but I cannot pinpoint it.
Why is he not here still…
Just…why…
Letterman was clearly holding back some genuine tears.
And, I think anyone who knew Williams would have been too.
He gave this world that which it could not give him.
RIP for eternity, Robin.
I love Robin Williams. He has taken us all to many extremes of the emotional spectrum, along the ride that was his life. I will miss him, I will mourn him, and I will revisit his body of works to laugh with him often. He is immortal now.
OMG, I’m crying.
Hush up, you guys are too………..
i knew someone like Robin Williams who always hid his depression or dark secrets behind a mask(humor).
The best tribute of this great man I have seen…
That’s so weird, "I had no idea he was in such pain" + "my friend Robin Williams". How do you define friend, I s’pose…..
i loved him. i’m so sad, i’m speechless. :'(
I always suspected Robin Williams of doing some serious drugs the way he acted.
Ok..that made me cry.. such a beautiful spirit and so well eulogized in this by David. Rest in Peace Robin.
The three men in the photo shaped a lot of our lives with their humor. Thanks for the memories
Did anybody else click the video for the picture? David Letterman, Robin Williams, Steve Harvey. Steve Harvey has that creeper face in this pic, Sorry Harvey.
What the Dave-haters and Leno-lovers of the world fail to realize is that Dave is a genuine, sincere, and regular guy. That hasn’t changed since the early 80s. I like Leno and his Garage, but Dave *is* Mister Late Night.
Good Lord! Does anyone have a single good thing to say about Robin Williams or does everyone feel the need to be harsh and unfeeling people? All I know is most of you people will be forgotten when you’re gone, and all you will have contributed to life is your legacy of negative internet comments. Congrats!
Quite a tribute. The slow- and stop-motion images of Robin Williams laughing hysterically are so poignant.
10:00 You can see how nervous David was and was so hard for him to say those words . Man Robin was a such legend.
Thanks Dave….we’re going to miss you.
Nice tribute.
I LOVE YOU ROBIN.LOL. I UNDERSTAND I HAVE SEVERE ANXIETY//// DREAM ON …. TOM
Robin Williams was a gift to us from God, And I am so sure that God and Robin are laughing together in Heaven. I thank God for such a gift as Robin, he made life seem so much fun. I will miss him. David did a great job honoring this gift from God.
R I P robin thanks for the memories and smiles.
The last couple days I’ve been racking my brains wondering how could such a spiritual figure want to end his life. He was deeply loved by his family and friends, he was enormously respected and appreciated by his fans and collegues.
Believing every person on this world is there for a reason, he was here to light up people’s hearts and make their struggles in life a little easier to go through with the power of humour. He was here to make people happy.
It’s impossible for me to comprehend how this kind and loving man whose eyes sparkled every time he made someone laugh would be at such a severe level of frustration that he would give up the most precious thing that is given to a human ever – one’s own life. Knowing that a man, who is a symbol of happiness and spiritual upliftment, a man who has proven to know how to enjoy life at its finest, has done so, makes a small part of me die inside.
Sadly, I don’t believe such thing as the Afterlife exists, but I’m hoping that I’m wrong and that he is there right now, laughing in eternal peace.
What a wonderful, informal Eulogy, Dave. Here we are in February of 2015, and I STILL miss Robin. If only I could have given him a 10th of what he’d given to me in making me laugh, smile and cry….
It’s strange to be in a world where Robin Williams is not.
Thanks for doing this, Dave.
The BEST Robin Williams tribute out there.
Wait a minute, this video wasn’t here when the YouTube channel launched. did you figure out how to go back in time?
Piano song name?
I feel like David absolutely hates when the audience claps lol
Dave often talked about how Robin Williams helped Dave out long ago with a job on "Mork and Mindy". That small act clearly provided valuable support to Dave when he really needed it.
Don’t you wish, when Robin obviously was in trouble and needed help toward the end of his life, he’d reached out to Dave? None of us knows the inner dynamics of their relationship, but I feel sure Dave would have done anything he could for his long-time friend, and maybe, just maybe, Robin would still be with us.
Anyone know which episode it is at 8:30? Hilarious!
Death and Suicide is Tragedy. David unlike so many other acknowledgements shows some shock and feeling here – which is not his cup of tea. God Bless You.
