Can we convince Dave that after he signs off, when things like this happens, he's willing to come back and do just 10 minutes? Like just bump Colbert back to 11:50 like NBC would do with Carson during Wimbledon and let Dave be Dave and talk us all down in a manner that I don't think another human b

As a San Franciscan most of my adult life (even if I spend much of my year in L.A. these days), I crossed paths with Robin Williams quite a few times. The fact that I toil in the arts and media and the fact that he and I had a few friends in common upped the likelihood of an encounter. And this

Anger is a common, natural and understandable response to suicide - I have felt it more often than I would like to have to think about. I don't blame Kevin for his reaction, and I experienced it myself today a few times, especially when thinking about his three children - all grown now, but the you

Kevin, it sounds as though, on the one hand, you recognize that mental illness is an illness, and that it needs more resources to be effectively treated. On the other hand, you say that Williams gave up the fight, as though it were somehow something he controlled. Mental illness is an illness. If s

Re: RIP Robin Williams (WAS Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: The Mrs Doubtfire sequel is off)

My single personal encounter with Robin Williams was very brief, backstage at the Tonight Show when I was an NBC Page (15 years ago... or more). He was walking in from the Midway parking lot and heading to his dressing room, and he moved past a few of us like a true force of nature. His internal di

Re: RIP Robin Williams (WAS Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: The Mrs Doubtfire sequel is off)

It has been a particularly sad day here in Northern California, where we saw Williams as a home boy. He died in his home in Tiburon (Marin County, north of San Francisco), but he also long has had a home not that far from mine (though of course on a much grander scale) in Napa Valley. Over the year
