1. Thanks switching over from watching TNA werestling. (nt)

[babylonsister]

2. Dam librul media; dimson's at 32% on every channel, per JS. nt

[tuvor]

3. I will watch until Mr. Williams appears.

Thanks for the heads-up.

[babylonsister]

10. Might I ask why you don't like Mr. Williams? nt

[tuvor]

23. I think he jumped the shark at Good Morning Vietnam.

I can't put my finger on it, but I haven't cared for him since then.

[REP]

25. I've Never Liked His Work, But Watch Tonight's Interview

I've always found him to be far too precious and annoying. Tonight I actually laughed out loud. If *I* enjoyed it, maybe you might as well. Trust me, I was completely surprised.

[tuvor]

26. Unfortunately I found out too late.

Maybe I'll get lucky and catch it on Canofun tomorrow.

Thanks!

[REP]

30. If Not There, Tomorrow's Three Re-Runs

I can't believe I'm pimping for the Human Bath-Mat, but there it is.

I *called people* to tell them I laughed at the interview. THAT'S how shocked I was!

[qanda]

29. I was asleep on the couch

And I awoke out of my sleep laughing out loud-- I guess my brain was still tuned in to Jon Stewart. So, I sat up and listened and could not believe how funny Robin Williams was.

[Cha]

4. "rove looks good when

he's walkin' into a courtroom"!

That was a good rif on jr's poll numbers by Dave Gorman.

And Jon's view on condi seem to match mine.

[BrotherBuzz]

5. Please give us cable challenged people an idea of what we're missing

Thanks

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Williams is wearing a t-shirt that says "The Decider."

They are really going off on The Decider! :rofl:

[Sydnie]

7. I LOVE Robin Williams

I would LOVE to spend an hour with him ... with him just talking.

More than an hour at a time might make one crazy though.

[janx]

11. I could spend unlimited time with Robin Williams, if given the

opportunity. He is brilliant and admirable.

[Sydnie]

13. I agree

my fear would be that I would laugh myself into heart failure!

[janx]

15. Yes, but

wouldn't it be interesting to talk to the guy about various things? He was classically trained, and he probably knows a lot about many things.

He's brilliant.

[babylonsister]

17. Ah, but what a way to go!

:rofl: :hi:

[pookieblue]

9. I was LMAO

Robin Williams was a hit. Loved his jokes about Bush and crew.

[babylonsister]

8. He was incredible! Brought up the failures of this admin,

Schwartzenegger and immigration, Katrina, damn! I want him to just spout for an hour or three!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

14. When he sees Blair and Bush together he expects to see a telethon

number on the screen???? And Bush the Decider! He hits a fork in the road and he has no idea which one to take, so he goes back the way he came .... time traveling backwards? Then he brought up Schartzenegger!lol! I Never get tired of this man!!!!

[babylonsister]

16. That's why I'd love a few hours of his riffing! He is honest and

so damned entertaining!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

19. I think he has one of the most brilliant minds on this planet.

He is also my absolutely favorite comedian of all time.

[babylonsister]

20. Ommm...

Ommm... I agree! I adore him! So bright, so aware. There was an article in the USA Today today about him. He gives of himself all the time to the causes he's passionate about, but he doesn't try to sell anyone on them. In fact, per the director of the movie that's being touted, he will not talk about them. He just walks the walk.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

22. I don't know how many people know this. Robin and Christopher Reeves

were roommates in college and remained very close friends. When Reeves had his disasterous accident, Williams promised Dana and Chris that they would never have to worry about the medical bills. Crying here remembering that. He is not only brilliant but has a heart of gold.

[WePurrsevere]

34. I'm with you about Robin. Couldn't see this one but remember him from

one a long time ago... watching the way his mind worked so quickly and in various directions at once was truly an amazing thing of beauty.

He's definately one of my absolute favorite comedians and actors of all time. (DH & I bought and have watched "What Dreams May Come" many times... we don't normamlly like the same movies so this is rather notable for us. ;))

I would love to spend a day just talking with him. I've known a few comedians and actors over the years and when they're not "on" they're usually an intellectual pleasure to be around... I tend to think he's much the same when he's not "on". B-)

If there's a clip of him somewhere on the web I may go watch it if it's at all possible with our very pokey dial-up. :)

[janx]

18. Williams knows literature,

unlike Chimpy...

[tyedyeto]

12. Too bad he only had a few minutes

I was watching and felt like he was stifled (go Edith). Give him more time and would go absolutely nutz!!

[Digit]

21. He never once promoted his movie

He thanked Jon for a show which allowed him to voice his opinions.

It was priceless....loved his T-shirt!

[XOKCowboy]

27. That was classy..

There was a graphic in the background but Robin did his own thing and had fun on a cable political program. I loved it. Robin Rules.

[REP]

24. I Normally Cannot Stand Williams ...

This is the first time I've actually enjoyed watching him.

[SeattleGirl]

28. I loved it when he said that TDS was one of the few shows

"where you can actually talk about this stuff."

He was hysterical!

[DoYouEverWonder]

33. He was like a bottle

that had just been uncorked.

I can imagine him at home ranting and raving at the TV just like the rest of us.

[Tripmann]

31. Anybody who hasn't seen his 'live on broadway' show

..from 2004, get it. I've about 50-60 stand up shows and its the funniest. I've watched it about 7-8 times and people who've watched it with me cannot believe how good he is. Frighteningly talented and absolutely hilarious.

[babylonsister]

32. And...he sweats...a lot! Mr. Williams is

supremely talented!

[WePurrsevere]

35. He NEEDS to sweat or...

he'd catch on fire he's so HOT. B-)

(At least that's what I tell my "sweater" DH when he gets flustered about sweating so much. ;) )

[babylonsister]

36. Oh, I so agree! I don't understand

people who don't like him (different senses of humor?) and I always wonder what he's like at home. He either keeps his wife and kids in stitches or perhaps quiet? Nah! :+

[WePurrsevere]

37. Probably different senses of humor... I don't care for physical...

humor like the Three Stooges or when a comedian always needs to very liberally sprinkle cuss words through their act (like Andrew Dice Clay, etc). The type of comedians I love and truly enjoy are Bill Cosby, Whoppie, Billy Crystal and of course Robin Williams. B-)

Others I know love the 3 Stooges and such. I figure that it's just different strokes for different folks. :D

edited for more clarity... I hope :hangover: )

[babylonsister]

38. I'd add Mr. Martin Short to that short list! nt

[WePurrsevere]

39. Gosh I haven't seen him in years and used to really like most of his stuff

He was fun to watch in movies and rather sexy in a cute way. ;)

(Of course to me humor is one of the things that has always attracted me to men I've been involved with. I knew DH was a keeper when he made me laugh a lot. :) )

[babylonsister]

41. Everytime I see him, not often, he makes me laugh!

And he is a cutie pie! He had his own show on a cable channel for awhile (dressed as a fat guy?).
And I agree, make me laugh and I'll love you forever! :)

[Libby2]

40. The show was great!!

I heart Robin too and his t-shirt cracked me up!!
The whole stewart show was excellent last night.

I'm gonna' catch the repeat just for fun.

[Cha]

42. I turned off my computer

before I saw Robin Williams last night on The Daily Show..so I wanted to come here and see if everyone else Enjoyed it like I did.

Yep! I started telling a friend over the phone today about Jon Stewart's last night and she said.."I saw it!" She thought it was one of the best she's ever seen.

Robin had Jon Cracking Up and Jon goes.."you're having a lot of fun with this" and Robin says, "it's good to be on a show where you can actually talk about this stuff." :D

"THE DECIDER!"

Williams goes.."he's the president(sic) and he makes decisions!".
