Robin Williams is dead.
He was found dead in his house, an apparent suicide.
We practically memorized Robin Williams Live At The Met, and still use his jokes in everyday conversation (“It was dark, it was light, it was dark, it was light,” “…pants so tight you can see what religion they are,” etc).
We suddenly remembered that New York Times profile in which the writer described Robin Williams at the drive-through window at McDonald’s, ordering in the voice of Jodie Foster as Nell. Thank you, Mr. Williams.

My friends and I still frequently quote him from The Birdcage.
“Oh, I see. So you’re going to a cemetery with your toothbrush. How Egyptian.”
“Fosse! Fosse! Fosse!”
“So this is hell… and there’s a crucifix in it.”
Even his cameos in Friends and To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar are memorable.
“It’s oozing!”
“Oh, my God. I’m like a compass near North.”

I watch fascinated whenever Robin Williams would guest on any talk show and see how he would take over the show and watch the hapless host try to edge in a word of two – if he could! But in this clip Craig Ferguson matches him wit for wit and takes this guest appearance to a whole new level. Side note, I’m pretty sure Craig was a wee bit drunk
