The first time I saw Robin Williams, he was the cross-dressing nanny Mrs. Doubtfire. Over the past decade, I've watched and enjoyed a number of his movies and he never falls flat when it comes to bringing his talent to a work. Whether, you enjoy his alien Mork on the Happy Days spin-off or his hysterical voiceovers ranging from the Genie to robot or his dramatic roles in one-hour photo or good will hunting, rarely does Robin Williams leave a performance that's undesirable. Despite his success on television and in films, when it comes to stand-up comedy he always strikes gold. HBO had recently aired Robin Williams' latest special "Weapons of Self Destruction", which was filmed in Washington, D.C. this fall. At the age of 58, Robin Williams still hasn't lost a bit of his comedy gold. With the end of the Bush Administration and the start of the Obama Administration, Williams has a lot of great material to work with. Williams, who has been known for his character voices and impersonations, still pulls off hilarious impersonations including Bob Dylan, Jack Nicholson, and Walter Cronkite. This time Williams touches upon a lot of personal things, including his recent heart surgery and his recovery to alcohol addiction, which were enjoyable moments. Anyway, if you have HBO then you should go check it out. If you don't, you can watch it below.
Warning: As always with Robin Williams stand up, the language and content is very strong. So remember there are no boundaries. Enjoy.
