Video: Animated Robin Williams Interview on ‘Blank on Blank’

One of the most devastating losses for the Entertainment world was the passing of the legendary actor Robin Williams, so today PBS Digital Studios delivered a new video for their Blank On Blank series and the artist they focused on was the famed comedian. The animated interview was held by Lawrence Grobel in 1991 for a 1992 story for Playboy.

Williams tells Grobel: “Comedy is there to basically show us we fart, we laugh. To make us realize we still are part animal…. So you don’t take yourself seriously and destroy the species.”

Robin Williams died on August 11, 2014 at the age of 63, and seeing the comedian and actor’s words come to life once more thanks to this series feels like an excellent tribute. See it above.
