00:00When you were on the set of Happy Days, it was 1978, and a guy by the name of Robin Williams

00:04walks in as Mork from Ork, and I really miss Robin. I want you to maybe tell a story about

00:10that moment in meeting him. It was amazing. So, usually we rehearse Monday morning and we shoot

00:17Friday night, and now they have this alien who is supposed to be part of the script,

00:21and they can't find the actor. So we wait and we wait. Now it's Monday, now it's Tuesday,

00:26now it's Wednesday morning. This very shy young man is brought onto the set, and he goes,

00:33hello. And then he picks up a script, and it's like a volcano explodes. All I knew was,

00:40here is a genius, stay out of his way, because you don't want to do it over and over and over again

00:47by breaking up and laughing at him. I gotta tell you, man, I miss him. What a talented guy,

00:51and at least we have some of his art to still watch.
