that was actually looking
for my mother,

13

but yet I saw that moment
when she looked up there,

14
00:00:53,411 --> 00:00:55,161
and I went, "Okay,
I'll be funny for her.

15
00:00:55,244 --> 00:00:56,494
Okay, that's fine,
work that way."

16
00:00:56,578 --> 00:00:58,119

No, it's not that.
I can be trained.

I can show you
how intelligent I am.

21
00:01:05,286 --> 00:01:06,453
I can use a word
like "delicatessen"

22

Or "degenerate."

26
00:01:17,163 --> 00:01:18,621
But all of that...

27
00:01:18,705 --> 00:01:20,539
...is all part of it, because
it's all part of the mind

28
00:01:20,622 --> 00:01:22,372
that actually flows like
that, because I realize

29
00:01:22,456 --> 00:01:24,497
that the human mind is a
three-and-a-half pound gland

30
00:01:24,581 --> 00:01:27,497
that pumps neurons constantly
and deals with itself

31
00:01:27,581 --> 00:01:30,122
by responding to stimulus. That's
what we're designed to do,

32
00:01:30,205 --> 00:01:33,622
evolving slowly. Even Darwin's
going, "I have hopes!

I had such high hopes!"

34

00:01:42,038 --> 00:01:43,747
the human mind is adapting and
evolving slowly but surely

Valerie Velardi: He was at the
Holy City Zoo, bartending.

343
00:17:33,294 --> 00:17:38,044
He filled in as a bartender so that
he could get up on stage and play.

344
00:17:38,127 --> 00:17:39,544
He had
a French accent,

345
00:17:39,628 --> 00:17:42,044
offered me a drink,
chatted me up,

346
00:17:42,127 --> 00:17:44,211

for a ride home.

349
00:17:53,128 --> 00:17:56,545
He was speaking French,
I was teasing him,

350
00:17:56,629 --> 00:17:59,212
and we had a kiss,

351
00:17:59,295 --> 00:18:02,295
mmm, and I just knew
I was going to see him again.

352
00:18:04,712 --> 00:18:07,421

my masters degree

353
00:18:07,505 --> 00:18:09,588

354
00:18:09,671 --> 00:18:11,463

355
00:18:11,546 --> 00:18:14,129
and I was supporting
myself as a waitress.

356
00:18:15,713 --> 00:18:18,213
He was always looking
for a connection,

357
00:18:18,296 --> 00:18:22,630
And if he needed to pull out
another character or an accent,

358
00:18:22,713 --> 00:18:25,463

actor more than a comedian.

364
00:18:37,837 --> 00:18:41,506

is supposed to be,

00:19:52,676 --> 00:19:54,510

Letterman: It was dynamic, it
was creative, it was exciting.

389
00:20:03,301 --> 00:20:06,676
We were kids, it was
silly and it was fun,

390
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,760
and it was
the best time of my life.

391
00:20:08,842 --> 00:20:10,676
My name is Dave Letterman,

392
00:20:10,801 --> 00:20:13,301
and originally, I am
from the State of Indiana.

393
00:20:13,384 --> 00:20:14,801
And you know,
when I was growing up,

394
00:20:14,884 --> 00:20:16,718
the one thing
that I'll never forget,

395
00:20:16,801 --> 00:20:18,761
what I'll always remember
as long as I live,

396
00:20:18,843 --> 00:20:22,302
is when Dad used to tease
me with the power tools.

397
00:20:22,385 --> 00:20:24,802
Did that happen to you folks a lot?

398
00:20:26,886 --> 00:20:29,386
Letterman: When we first
saw Robin on stage,

399
00:20:29,470 --> 00:20:30,720
we were skeptical,

400
00:20:30,803 --> 00:20:33,553
and we made
it kind of a project

401
00:20:33,637 --> 00:20:35,886
to keep our eye on him.

402
00:20:35,969 --> 00:20:38,470
This is a quick
suppression, a Spanish fly.

403
00:20:40,553 --> 00:20:42,720
Are there any Spanish
people here tonight?

404
00:20:42,803 --> 00:20:44,136
Okay, we can do it!

405
00:20:45,386 --> 00:20:47,220
Here we go,
the Spanish fly.

406
00:20:49,470 --> 00:20:51,595
In my head,
my first sight of him

407
00:20:51,678 --> 00:20:53,428
was that he could fly

408
00:20:53,512 --> 00:20:55,261
because of the...
the energy.

409
00:20:55,345 --> 00:20:57,428
It was like observing
an experiment.

410
00:20:57,512 --> 00:20:58,928
Something special.
First a little toot for me.

411
00:20:59,011 --> 00:21:00,512
Okay.

412
00:21:00,595 --> 00:21:01,886
We are ready.

413
00:21:04,553 --> 00:21:07,804
Everybody, shake from side
to side, come on, now.

414
00:21:07,887 --> 00:21:09,554
What's the matter? You would
do it if I was blind.

415
00:21:10,845 --> 00:21:12,262
Here we go.

416
00:21:16,679 --> 00:21:18,429
One of the
first paying gigs I had

417
00:21:18,513 --> 00:21:19,887
was this place called
The Laugh Stop.

418
00:21:19,970 --> 00:21:21,763
It's their opening night.

419
00:21:21,845 --> 00:21:23,596
The mics go down, they die,

420
00:21:23,679 --> 00:21:24,970
and they're going
"What the fuck do we do?"

421
00:21:25,054 --> 00:21:26,387
I think,
"I don't need a mic."

422
00:21:26,471 --> 00:21:27,887
I just started
fucking around.

423
00:21:27,970 --> 00:21:29,929
I'm going
in the audience,

424
00:21:30,012 --> 00:21:31,763
and I was loud enough
because I'd been trained

425
00:21:31,845 --> 00:21:32,887
to be loud that
I could survive.

426
00:21:32,970 --> 00:21:34,804
I see a sister.

427
00:21:34,887 --> 00:21:37,263
Do you feel the need
to be healed?

428
00:21:37,347 --> 00:21:39,764
Woman: Yes.
- I know you can walk without that chair.

429
00:21:42,430 --> 00:21:43,888
Dear sister,
give me your hand.

430
00:21:43,971 --> 00:21:46,639
I hope to God
you're not a real cripple.

431
00:21:46,722 --> 00:21:50,846
All I could really do was hang on
to the microphone for dear life,

432
00:21:50,930 --> 00:21:53,514
and here was a guy
who could levitate.

433
00:21:53,597 --> 00:21:55,472
Are you ready now
to walk for Jesus?

434
00:21:55,555 --> 00:21:56,764
Can you do it?

435
00:21:56,847 --> 00:21:58,640

it was Robin was doing,

438
00:22:03,389 --> 00:22:05,847
we weren't gonna
get close to that.

439
00:22:05,931 --> 00:22:08,681
And we were frightened
that, "Oh my,

440
00:22:08,765 --> 00:22:12,391
"maybe we've come out here
at just exactly the wrong time

441
00:22:12,475 --> 00:22:14,391
"when everything was changing,

442
00:22:14,475 --> 00:22:17,016
and all we had was
our stupid little jokes."

eats the big one.

Tramer: Being a writer
for Robin's standup

473
00:23:54,186 --> 00:23:56,354
is like being a pinch
hitter for Barry Bonds.

474

22 shows, guaranteed,

679
00:33:54,259 --> 00:33:57,342
and you're gonna
get $1500 a week."

680
00:33:57,425 --> 00:33:59,717

went, "Wow!"

681
00:33:59,801 --> 00:34:03,467

"Schmuck, $15,000."

682

Robin was happy
with the $1,500.

683

690
00:34:35,678 --> 00:34:38,094
Necrotons! Warning!
Mayday! Mayday!

691
00:34:38,177 --> 00:34:40,219

around the stage, you know.

694
00:34:44,803 --> 00:34:47,177
He would run around and do
crazy things all the time,

695
00:34:47,261 --> 00:34:49,636
and there was
union cameramen.

696
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,344
He would do something
great, my dad would go,

697
00:34:51,427 --> 00:34:52,803
"Did you get that?
Did you get that?"

698
00:34:52,885 --> 00:34:55,678

"He didn't come by here."

699
00:34:55,761 --> 00:34:58,344
"You gotta capture this.
He's a genius."

700
00:34:58,427 --> 00:35:00,511
And the cameraman said,
"If he's such a genius,

701
00:35:00,594 --> 00:35:02,302
he could hit his mark."

702
00:35:02,386 --> 00:35:05,427

The sitcom, up until then,
always three camera.

704
00:35:08,679 --> 00:35:10,220
So he brought in
a fourth camera,

705
00:35:10,303 --> 00:35:12,178
kind of a handheld camera,

706
00:35:12,262 --> 00:35:13,762
just to follow Robin.

707
00:35:13,845 --> 00:35:16,095
And that became
the standard.

708
00:35:16,178 --> 00:35:17,470
Now, every sitcom

709
00:35:17,554 --> 00:35:19,262

that basically makes you

you have no control over.

1359
01:08:12,484 --> 01:08:16,317

incredible mental acceleration,

than most people.

a lot of those movements.

the total unpredictability

1366

I learned from meeting Shane.

1367
01:08:40,275 --> 01:08:42,319
The brain is one thing that
controls bodily functions,

1368
01:08:42,402 --> 01:08:46,653
and then there's this other thing
which is divine, called the mind.

1369

There is deity within you,
there is that... that spark,

that divine thing,
that thing that is soul.

1516

Eight years ago, dear...

1517

He was an alcoholic.

1522
01:17:10,343 --> 01:17:13,385
Oh no, dear. He was
on his way to the pub

1523
01:17:13,468 --> 01:17:16,718
to have a drink,
walked in the door,

1524
01:17:16,802 --> 01:17:17,968
and someone
had spilled a beer

1525
01:17:18,051 --> 01:17:20,093
and he slipped
and broke his neck.

1526
01:17:20,176 --> 01:17:21,343
He was on his way
to the pub,

1527
01:17:21,426 --> 01:17:23,385
and a Guinness truck
was passing by

1528
01:17:23,469 --> 01:17:26,719
hit a bump,
and six kegs fell off.

1529
01:17:26,803 --> 01:17:28,052
He finished
the first three,

1530
01:17:28,135 --> 01:17:30,135

1531
01:17:30,219 --> 01:17:32,052

but the second
you said, "Cut,"

1554
01:18:27,013 --> 01:18:29,263

Oh, ho ho!

1561
01:18:43,264 --> 01:18:45,515
Romanek:
The urge to be funny

1562
01:18:45,598 --> 01:18:48,890
and to make people laugh
was so innate in him

1563
01:18:48,973 --> 01:18:52,140
and so, like... almost
like breathing for him

1564
01:18:52,224 --> 01:18:55,307
that if he didn't get
that out of his system...

1565
01:18:55,391 --> 01:18:58,516
it would've infected his
performance in a bad way.

1566
01:18:58,599 --> 01:19:00,516
Fu! Boy.

1567
01:19:00,599 --> 01:19:03,432
You're here in the flesh.
Woo hoo!

Not often I see
you in here.

01:19:06,099 --> 01:19:06,974
Yeah, you...

1570
01:19:07,057 --> 01:19:08,766
Hi.

1571
01:19:08,849 --> 01:19:11,265
Romanek: So I would just let him
go, as long as it was reasonable

1572
01:19:11,349 --> 01:19:12,891
for time in the day

1573
01:19:12,974 --> 01:19:14,182
to just get
it out of his system.

1574
01:19:14,265 --> 01:19:15,557
And then,
actually, I realized

1575
01:19:15,641 --> 01:19:17,974
that when he makes
people laugh that hard,

1576
01:19:18,057 --> 01:19:19,349
he used to kind
of get high from it...

1577
01:19:19,432 --> 01:19:21,474
you know, like an endorphin
rush or something.

1578
01:19:21,557 --> 01:19:25,599
And so if he was being really
funny one second before the take,

1579
01:19:25,683 --> 01:19:27,599
I would... he would,
you know, quiet down,

1580
01:19:27,683 --> 01:19:29,057
and I'd say, "Action,"

1581
01:19:29,140 --> 01:19:31,974
he almost had
this like glow of joy.

1582
01:19:32,057 --> 01:19:34,391
Even though he was playing
this very serious scene,

1583
01:19:34,474 --> 01:19:37,099

trying to say here...

1698
01:25:56,869 --> 01:25:58,536

1700

couldn't think about anything

1702
01:26:07,744 --> 01:26:09,452

- Robin: Ho, ho, ho, ho!

1703
01:26:09,536 --> 01:26:11,452
- Let's do that for the deaf now.
- Yeah, yeah.

01:26:18,912 --> 01:26:20,912
Whoo!
Whoo. Whoo.

1705

Yeah, thanks for nothing!

- Yeah.

You pretty much said,
" you, Robin."

1710
01:26:47,579 --> 01:26:49,329
Thank you,
I hope that's televised!

1711

- Oh, thank you.

And I'm glad to be left out

1720

I want to thank Jack for... he
is, to me, the greatest actor,

1721
01:27:31,124 --> 01:27:32,916
and Daniel Day-Lewis,
the greatest actor.

1722
01:27:32,999 --> 01:27:36,332
And... I'm just
a hairy actor.

1723

And it's been

1724

away with nothing.

1725

Coming here

Thank you.

Zak: His pathos was seeking
to entertain and please.

1730
01:28:05,918 --> 01:28:08,710
And... he felt...

1731
01:28:10,042 --> 01:28:11,876
when he wasn't doing that,

1732
01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:13,876
he was not succeeding...

1733
01:28:15,167 --> 01:28:16,334
as a person.

1734
01:28:17,668 --> 01:28:21,876
And that was
always hard to see...

1735
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:25,584
because in so many senses, he is the
most successful person I know...

1736
01:28:27,751 --> 01:28:29,835
and yet he didn't
always feel that.

1737
01:28:29,918 --> 01:28:33,418
Good morning in Kandahar!

1738

"You have no idea!"

1743
01:29:08,962 --> 01:29:12,211
I was also wondering,
"What's coming from that way?"
