Unfortunately, Jimmy Fallon has had to pay tribute to two too many people during his time on The Tonight Show so far. When Robin Williams passed, he gave a very moving homage to the great talent by talking about how hilarious Robin was, showing a clip from him on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, and standing on top of his desk. It's very moving.
Later, Billy Crystal came on the show and the two swapped stories about their friend, Robin Williams.
Also, Jimmy gave a very shaky, heartfelt, tearful tribute to Joan Rivers, his first Tonight Show guest to die. It's so tough to see Jimmy cry, but that's all I will say. The video is not available as a sole clip, but the episode is on NBC.com and it's quite emotional. Here's this, though.
May the titans of comedy rest in peace.
Sad times for comedy, comedians and fans, alike. :(
