    Thank goodness someone at NBC/Carson had the good sense to zealously preserve ALL the Burbank studio master tapes... and make the effort to digitize them at better than SD quality. Heck, I don't think the actual over-the-air broadcast looked this good at the time. Thanks to the folks at Carson Ent for maintaining the collection & sharing them with the world.

      Today it's just the "host" waiting on his next scripted bullet point on the card.Johnny, Letterman and Cavett, especially Cavett, would converse with the guests and most of the time have a genuine desire to hear what they had to say.

      For one thing, though I like Mel Brooks, I found the others boring. I NEVER found Robin Williams anything but amazing. His mind moved so quickly, every conversation with him was entertaining. He was beyond comparison to any other comic, and a terrific seriously actor, too. He, truly, had no equal. I'm very glad I lived through his lifetime. And, I’m so happy we have all these clips to return to. I'm glad you liked the others. But, Robin had universal appeal.

    Rick James said "cocaine's a hell of a drug".
    Yes. I'm referring to Carson as well...😂
    Miss them both. 😢

    What an incredible actor and human being. I wonder if the brilliance of Robin Williams in his ability to adlib or improvise and his brain moving so fast had anything to do with developing Lewy body dementia? Just a thought.

      Either that or cocaine.

    The boom operator has to be on his job to deal with Robin.

    Robin Williams once said, "cocaine is God’s way of telling you you’re making too much money."

    I always loved when Robin was on with Johnny.

    I knew personally the fellow Robin Williams used as the inspiration for his character in "The Best of Times," the late Paul McAvoy, who was very talented at improv. Robin spoke to him for about 10-15 minutes, apparently absorbing who he was. Just as Marlon Brando used boxer Rocky Graziano as the inspiration for Stanley Kowalski in "Streetcar Named Desire," Paul saw "himself" on the screen---Williams "doing" him!
