It's been a sad end to the summer in the comedy world, as we lost both Robin Williams and Joan Rivers. Both made their own marks in entertainment and stretched the boundaries. Now I could go on like this, but I think the best way to remember them, is to actually see them doing what they did best.
(A segment from when Williams appeared on 'Inside The Actors Studio'. This was his improvisation at best).
(Robin was never above doing anything. At 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' he again showed off his best improvisation)
(Robin wasn't afraid to take on controversial issues)
(Much like Robin, Joan also wasn't afraid to get edgy. Here she returned to 'The Tonight Show', following her long absence.)
(Joan with Johnny Carson back in the day.)
This was just a sample. Robin Williams was also known for his dramatic work, from 'Dead Poets Society' to 'Good Will Hunting'. Meanwhile, Joan Rivers stepped into the fashion world with her red carpet interviews, and hosting E!'s "Fashion Police". Joan was working up until the end, even with her own youtube series "In Bed With Joan", which I highly recommend.
Both left a mark, and will be greatly missed.
