Billy Crystal: Robin Williams was “the brightest star in the comedy galaxy.”

Video: Here is the full In Memoriam tribute to Robin Williams from Billy Crystal.

“Supportive, protective, loving. It’s very hard to talk about him in the past because he was so present in all of our lives. For almost 40 years he was the brightest star in the comedy galaxy.”

  1. Note how you can hear a pin drop during this – clearly the audience were told not to clap, since that turns death into a popularity contest as the big stars get applause and the lesser known behind-the-scenes people get nothing. It’s a classy and respectful thing to do that should be copied at the next TV Week Logie Awards
