Aww man, what a bummer... that guy was fantastic.

 

[Billct2]

no!!

 

[Mosh]

I just won $100....Mork and Miny's son....

 

[Gino]

RIP

I really liked that guy. He, among so many other greats, are just slipping away... left and right.

 

[Red Ball]

The man was a comic genius!

His show and guest appearences on the Carol Burnett, Smothers Brothers shows all left a young person (me) just cracking up.

The movie MAD MAD (how many mads?) World is a wonderful example of his humor.

That is how I'm familiar with him, too. The babies from Ork were born old (to the males) and got younger every year, right?

Yes.

Oh man yeah... So then Benjamin Button was from Ork? Suddenly, his case is no longer curious!

WOW had no idea he was so popular.
I guess I'm the only one that thought Mork and Mindy jumped the shark when he came aboard.
RIP none the less

 

[Mosh]

Jumped the shark is a Happy Days reference.

Mork and Mindy is a Happy Days spinoff.

It all comes full-circle.

How was he Robin Williams' son, but he died now at 87? Isn't Robin Williams like 30+ years younger than he is? I vaguely remember Mork and Mindy when I was a kid, so I'm showing my ignorance I guess.

Robin Williams thought very highly of Jonathan Winters as a comedian.

Jonathan Winters mentored Robin Williams from early on. Williams considered Winters, his comedic Buddha. Winters was not only the Master of Improv, but a pioneer and probably the most successful. The world of great comedy died a little more today.
