One of the all-time greats. I remember as a kid thinking something like, "Am I actually watching a disturbed person?" What a presence.

You can't replicate his humor....Robin Williams comes closest. What a comedic genius! The pinnacle of improv, IMHO. RIP and THANK YOU for the laughs.

I recall TV hosts, fellow comics and even Presidents nearly falling over with laughter at his unscripted quips. One of the quickest wits ever and a true comedic genius.
