Robin Williams

THE HALL podcast series from “Netflix is a Joke” offers an in-depth look into the lives and careers of the greats of stand-up comedy. Hosted by Cristela Alonzo, the fourth episode of THE HALL explores the brilliance of Robin Williams, whose riffing, quick-paced, stream-of-consciousness comedy wowed crowds the world over. We look at the evolution of Williams’ iconic talent and generous spirit, from the perspectives of those who knew him well. We hear from Williams’ friends and family, colleagues and chroniclers — including Ron Howard, Glenn Close, Barry Levinson, Rick Overton, Jay Leno, Mara Wilson, and two of Williams’ kids Zelda and Zak Williams — who join us to share up-close stories of the legendary comedian and actor.
