VIDEO: When Robin Williams met Zig and Zag

It was chaos.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN a madcap comedian meets two zany Irish puppets from outer space?

This. We can only wish it happened when they were on The Den.

RIP Robin.

    It’s hard to think someone this happy wasn’t hurting so much inside.

    Depression/Mental Illness should be addressed more so more people feel open enough to talk about it.

    It just goes to show you how powerful it is when it can take away the happiest of men.

    RIP Robin Williams

    Depression is a huge problem in this country but its is played down. People are suffering terrible hardship because of austerity and cuts to services. we are a voice in the wilderness. People are forgotten and mental health services are slashed to service the black hole of the banks.

    Most celebrities become overwhelmed by zig and zag, I think Robin felt at ease with them!
    Nice piece, he was a funny guy.

    Our existence is but a fleeting glimpse but if in that time one can make people happy and encourage laughter, than that existence will last eternity.
    RIP Mr. Williams. Thanks for the laughter.
