“Robin Williams: Live on Broadway”
While Williams had immersed himself in dramatic film performances at the time, this uproarious 2002 stand-up show proved that he still had plenty of funny in him as he weighed in on life in post-9/11 America.
“Mrs. Doubtfire”
Williams was a total drag in this 1993 comedy about an actor who disguises himself as a female housekeeper so he can spend more time with his kids following a bitter divorce. Never has America laughed so hard at a man accidentally setting fire to his fake boobs.
“Good Morning, Vietnam”
Williams managed to wring humor out of warfare, playing a jabber-jawed deejay who makes waves while on the US Armed Services radio station.
“The Tonight Show”
In 1981, a young Williams appeared on Johnny Carson’s couch to deliver a rapid-fire string of one-liners that nobody was quite ready for.
“Mork & Mindy”
The show that made Williams a star. Williams’ portrayal of space alien Mork from Ork provided both an outsider’s perspective of humanity’s absurdity along with plenty of laughs.
