Robin Williams was one of the best. Here he is in mrs. doubtfire

The ever-popular ROBIN WILLIAMS pokes fun at Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese.

Elmo is voiced by Kevin Clash, who started puppeteering the character in 1984. Kevin gave Elmo his characteristic high-pitched voice and infectious giggle.

Elmo just literally collapses in on himself in embarrassment.

I truly believe he was one of the funniest people that ever lived. The world is a sadder place without him

Robin Williams was a treasure.

Robin Williams had a heart as warm as his humor. One lesser-known story that showcases his compassionate nature is his interaction with Christopher Reeve post a tragic accident. Reeve, famous for his role as Superman, was left paralyzed from the neck down following a horse riding accident in 1995, which plunged him into a deep depression. Williams, who was a close friend of Reeve since their days at Juilliard, decided to lift his spirits in a unique way. Disguised in scrubs, Williams stormed into Reeve’s hospital room, impersonating a Russian doctor and announcing that he was there to perform a rectal exam. This humorous intervention caused Reeve to burst into laughter, marking the first time he had done so since his accident. Reeve later acknowledged this moment as a significant turning point in his mental recovery, showcasing the profound impact of Williams’ compassionate jest .

Williams' comedic genius stemmed from his imaginative improvisation and ability to recreate reality through voices and personas. He innovated comedy while portraying deeply human experiences.
