This is uh, unusual and upsetting, but we got some news. We got some news during the show that Robin

Williams has passed away. Uh, by the time we air—we tape these shows a few hours early—and by the time you

see this now on TV, I'm sure that you'll know. I'm sorry to anyone in our

studio audience that I'm breaking this news. This is absolutely shocking and horrifying and so upsetting on every

level. And we're at the end of the show, and it just felt like we needed to acknowledge it. Obviously, we don't

know much yet; we know that this has happened, and we're absolutely stunned to get this news. And I

know that everybody here has worked with Robin over the years, and he was an amazingly kind and generous person,

and it's got to be a terrible time for his family. Our thoughts go out to them. And as funny as he was, he's truly one of the all-time greats.

He was even more fantastic. He's just the loveliest, sweetest, one of the kindest

guys I've ever worked with. Such a soft, warm, emotionally sweet guy. And it's a major, major

loss for everybody. It's—yeah, like Andy said—our hearts go out to his family. Terrible loss. There's not...

We're just processing this information literally right at this moment, and so we

are thinking of Robin's family. We're thinking about everybody who he touched around the

world throughout his life, and we're thinking about Robin tonight. There's really not much else to say.

By the time the show... by the time we're back tomorrow, we'll know more. Everyone will know more. Um, but uh, we're

so very sorry to have to, uh, report this to anybody who's hearing it for the first time, and uh, we

are going to end our show now and thank all my guests. And uh, good night, and uh, God bless Robin Williams. Good night.
