## Transcript

[ MUSIC ] The first time I met Robin was probably on TV, watching Mork and Mindy. Mork calling Orson. Come in Orson. Mork calling Orson. Come in Orson. The first time I met him in person was years later. It was probably about 1983, 84, and we all kind of like, waiting for Robin to come in. We knew he was in New York. How many people here tonight. After the show I'm gonna go home and so wild [ UNKNOWN ] you know what I'm talking bout. He could get on stage and probably without even writing jokes, talk about what was going on that day or something that was going on inside of him and make it funny .

>> I'll like to show you something special right now, but I'd like to ask this row to move back. Well, I think Robin will be remembered because there is such a large body of work. You know you'll have, you know the animated films that the young children knew, so maybe when they grow older they'll watch the standup, the standup specials and then they'll watch some of those serious movies that he's done. It's not your fault. [ MUSIC ] It's not your fault. Who's gonna fill that, that part of the comedy world? Because we really don't have that kind of unique person. I haven't seen it and I don't know who will come up the ranks to, to kinda be that guy that's always there for everybody.

[ MUSIC ]
