>> IF YOU ASK ANYONE TO 
DESCRIBE MY SPECIAL GUEST 
TODAY, AND YOU'LL HEAR 
WORDS LIKE BRILLIANT, ONE 
OF A KIND, TOTALLY INSANE, 
WHACKED OUT OF HIS MIND AND 
PURE GENIUS WHICH ARE ALL 
GOOD DESCRIPTIONS, DON'T 
YOU THINK?
REALLY, REALLY BECAUSE HIS 
SPECTACULAR COMEDIC WIT IS 
RIFLD ONLY BY HIS SUPERB 
ACT ABILITY FOR WHICH HE 
HAS WON BACK TO BACK OSCAR 
NOMINATIONS FOR GOOD 
MORNING VIETNAM AND "DEAD 
POET'S SOCIETY," WHICH 
HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF MY 
FAVORITE ALL-TIME MOVIES.
HE'S HAPPILY MARRIED, 
EXPECTING HIS THIRD CHILD.
HIS WIFE IS VERY PREGNANT.
HE STARS IN A NEW MOVIE 
CALLED "THE FISHER KING."
>> THERE IS NO HOLY GREAT 
DEAL.
>> JACK, YE OF LITTLE 
FAITH.
OH, YOU HEATHEN, THERE'S A 
GREAT DEAL.
>> WAIT A MINUTE.
LOOK.
YOU'RE ONLY PROBABLY 
INSANE.
PEOPLE LIKE YOU CAN LEAD 
SEMI-NORMAL LIVES.
YOU CAN GET A JOB.
>> I HAVE A JOB, JACK.
I HAVE A QUEST.
>> YOU'RE GOING TO GET 
YOURSELF KILLED TRYING TO 
GET IN THERE.
>> THAT'S SO SWEET.
NOW I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE 
TRYING TO DO.
YOU'RE TRYING TO PROTECT 
ME.
>> NO, I THINK YOU'RE A 
MORON AND I DON'T WANT TO 
GET IN TROUBLE.
>> ■YOU CARE.
FIRST THE MONEY, NOW THIS.
OH, THAT'S SO SWEET.
OH, YOU FABULOUS GUY.
>> DON'T HUG ME IN PUBLIC 
AGAIN.
>> OH, MEN WITH MEN.
I LOVE THIS GUY.
>> PLEASE WELCOME ROBIN 
WILLIAMS.
>> HELLO.
GREAT.
>> THANK YOU.
MEMBERS OF OUR MINISTRY.
FRIENDS, CALL THIS NUMBER 
AFTER 8:00.
PLEASE HELP TAMMY'S EYE 
BROWS.
>> I WAS JUST GOING TO LET 
YOU GO.
>> IT FEELS LIKE A LITTLE 
EARLY FOR THAT.
OH, YEAH, GIRL.
GENIUS, WELL, BABY.
WOW, KEEP GOING, BABY.
>> I HEARD YOU BACK THERE 
GOING OH.
>> I JUST LIKE WATCHING THE 
MOVIE.
THERE WAS THIS THING DURING 
THE MOVIE, THERE WAS THIS 
SCENE IN CENTRAL PARK WHERE 
I DANCE WITHOUT ANYTHING.
YOU HAVE SEEN IT.
>> THEY'VE ALL SEEN IT.
>> YOU'RE GOING I DIDN'T 
SEE ANYTHING.
IT WAS A COLD NIGHT.
I'M OUT OF HERE, ALICE.
MICROCHIP.
BUT I GUESS SOMEBODY WHO'S 
WATCHING THE MOVIE, I GUESS 
THE WOMAN SITTING NEXT TO 
WOMEN WENT, OH, YEAH.
>> WELL SOMEONE JUST SAID 
DID YOU HAVE G-STRING ON 
DURING THAT.
>> NO.
THAT'S THE SAD THING.
>> WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE 
JUST GOING TO SEE THE MOVIE 
TODAY BECAUSE IT OPENS 
AROUND THE COUNTRY TODAY, 
OUR AUDIENCE HAS SEEN IT.
THEY WENT TO SEE IT LAST 
NIGHT AND THERE IS THIS 
GREAT, GREAT SCENE IN 
CENTRAL PARK WHERE JEFF 
BRIDGES AND ROBIN ARE OUT 
THERE KIND OF DANCING IN 
THE DARK.
>> THAT'S A GOOD WAY OF 
PUTTING IT.
>> AND YOU TAKE YOUR 
CLOTHES OFF.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY 
-- WE LOVED THAT.
DIDN'T WE?
WE LOVED IT.
>> THIS IS THE POINT WHERE 
YOU DO THE DISCLAIMER, 
PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS AT 
HOME.
IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY 
DANGEROUS AND YOU CAN GET 
ATTACKED BY A VARIETY OF 
DIFFERENT PEOPLE BUT IT WAS 
VERY FREEING TO KNOW THAT 
RIGHT OVER THERE IS THE 
PLAZA AND YOU'RE GOING 
IVANA .
>> I WAS JUST DISCUSSING 
WITH THE AUDIENCE THAT IT 
SEEMS, PARTICULARLY BECAUSE 
OF YOUR DESIRE TO HELP THE 
HOMELESS AND YOUR 
UNDERSTANDING OF THE 
HOMELESS, IT SEEMED LIKE 
JUST A WONDERFUL MOVIE FOR 
YOU TO SORT OF EXPRESS ALL 
OF THAT STUFF IN.
>> HAVING WORKED FOR THE 
LAST FEW YEARS AND VISIT 
THE SHELTERS, AND YOU SEE 
PEOPLE IT'S NOT LIKE AN 
IMAGE OF THE HAPPY HOME.
NOT THAT THERE AREN'T 
MOMENTS OFTHEM, THAT 
ARE EITHER FUNNY OR -- YOU 
SEE THAT IT'S PRETTY 
PAINFUL STUFF.
AND ALSO PEOPLE -- BAUSE 
A LARGE MAJORITY IN THE 
MAJOR CITIES ARE FORMER 
MENTAL PATIENTS.
THEY HAVE SEVERE PROBLEMS.
HIS PROBLEM IS THAT HE
CREATED A WHOLE OTHER 
PERSONALITY.
PERRY IS NOT HIS NAME.
IT'S A CREATION.
IT'S BASICALLY A RESPONSE 
THAT YOU CAN'T DEAL WITH 
YOUR PAST SO YOU CREATE A 
WHOLE OTHER PERSON.
>> SO WAS IT FREEING TO DO 
THAT?
>> YEAH, IT IS.
BECAUSE IT'S BASICALLY -- 
YOU GET TO PLAY WITH 
EXAMINING THAT PART OF 
YOURSELF.
IF YOU HAVE TO THINKING OF 
SOMETHING SO HORRIFNG AND 
IF YOU WANT TO TOTALLY DENY 
SOMETHING HOW WOULD YOU 
CREATE -- IT WOULD BE LIKE, 
WHICH I DID FOR A LITTLE 
WHILE, DOING ALL THESE 
THINGS WHERE WE NEVER 
ACKNOWLEDGE ANYTHING 
NEGATIVE.
HE STARTS TO CONFRONT WHO 
YOU ARE IN THE NEXT SCENE.
HE WOULD HAVE REALLY HURT 
JEFF'S CHARACTER IF HE'D 
HAVE GONE ANY FARTHER.
IT IS FREEING TO CREATE 
THAT CHARACTER BECAUSYOU 
CAN REALLY EXPLORE KIND OF 
WHERE YOU'VE BEEN AND THE 
ASPECTS YOU WANT TO DENY IN 
THE WHOLE ASPECT OF 
PERFORMING FOR THE SAKE OF 
JUST AVOIDING.
>> YOU E WONDERFUL IN 
THIS MOVIE.
YOU ARE WONDERFUL.
ISN'T HE?
ACTUALLY, SO IS EVERYBODY 
IN THIS MOVIE, ESPECIALLY 
JEFF BRIDGES.
HE'S WONDERFUL.
>> HE'S MAGNIFICENT.
IT IS SICALLY A WONDERFUL 
GROUP OF PEOPLE AND THEY'RE 
ALL KIND OF DANLD IN THEIR 
OWN WAY.
IT IS ABOUT DANLD PEOPLE IN 
DIFFERENT WAYS ALL KIND OF 
CONNECTI, TRYING TO KIND 
THAT STRANGE CONCEPTION 
REDEMPTION AND CONNECTION.
>> I HOPE WE SHOW THIS CLIP 
LATER ON BUT AUDIENCE, 
DIDN'T YOU LOVE THE SCENE 
WHERE SHE'S -- HE'S 
STANDING ON THE STEPS AND 
HE WALKS HER HOME.
AND SHE SAID -- OH, GOD, 
THAT WAS GREAT.
>> YEAH, I THINK THAT'S 
BECAUSE IT'S THE TYPE OF 
THING THAT'S SO FRAGILE, 
FOR HIM LOVE IS SUCH A 
DELICATE THING AND EVEN 
GETTING IT BACK AGAIN 
TRIGGERS ANOTHER ONE OF THE 
BREAK DOWNS.
IT'S SO FRAGILE FOR HIM AND 
THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT 
INTERESTING.
THAT'S WHY I DID IT.
>> WHEN YOU SAW THE SCRIPT 
DID YOU SAY THIS IS IT?
>> IT WAS FOUR INTERESTING 
CHARACTERS.
IT DEALS WITH SO MANY 
DIFFERENT MOODS.
IT CAN BE IN ONE MOMENT 
HILARIOUS AND THE NEXT 
MOMENT HORRIFYING.
>> YOU'RE LIKE THIS IN THE 
MOVIE.
>> THAT'S LIFE IN MANY 
MAJOR CITY.
I EEL GOOD.
OH, GOD.
THIS IS HOW YOU EVERY DAY.
, NO.
YES.
NO.
WE LIVE IN KIND OA 
MANIC-DEPRESSIVE TIME.
PEOPLE GO WELL IT'S KINDER, 
BUT NOT ALWAYS GENTR.
I'M WRITING CHECKS.
SO IS MY BOY.
>> WELL ROBIN'S WIFE  
SEVEN MONTHS PREGNANT WITH 
HIS THIRD CHILD AND THEY 
ALREADY KNOW THAT IF IT'S A 
BOY OR GIRL --
>> IT'S A BOY.
>> OH, YOU KNOW.
IT'S A BOY AND HIS NAME IS 
GOING TO BE CODY.
>> WELL, I'VE ALWAYS WANTED 
TO HAVE SOMETHING FROM THE 
RODEO IN THE FAMILY.
AS SOON AS HE'S BORN COMING 
OUT OF SHOOT NUMBER ONE.
NEVER MET A MAN THEY DIDN'T 
LIKE BUT HELL, I'VE BEEN 
INSIDE FOR A LONG TIME.
I MEAN IT'S SO AMAZING LIKE 
YOU SAID SHE IS QUITE -- I 
DON'T THINK MEN COULD CARRY 
A CHILD AS WELL.
I'VE GOT THINGED TO DO.
WE WOULDN'T BE GOOD IN 
CHILDBIRTH.
WE'RE NOT VERY COMFORTABLE 
LIKE THIS.
IT'S A DIFFICULT THING.
WE'D WANT TO BE IN THE 
BATHROOM WITH A COPY OF 
SPORTS ILLUSTRATED GOING 
COME ON, I'M HAVING 
CONTRACTIONS.
GET IT OUT.
JUST HAVE THE BABY.
>> WHICH BRINGS US BACK TO 
THAT SCENE WHERE YOU -- 
WELL, I DON'T DISCUSS IT?
YOU KNOW THE BOUL MOVEMENT 
SCENE?
>> OH, YEAH.
FOR A BRIEF MOMENT SHE 
EXPECTS ME TO BE PSYCHIC.
I KNOW THAT ONE BUT I KNOW 
THE OTHER SCENE.
WE'LL BE RIG BACK.
>> WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK.
BACK IN A MOMENT.
>> ROBIN SAYS THAT HIS MOM 
LAURIE IS ONE OF THE 
FUNNYEST PEOPLE HE KNOWS 
AND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY 
-- YOU THINK SO?
>> OH, YEAH.
>> I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO 
TALK WITH HER ABOUT HER 
SON.
TAKE AOOAT THIS.
WHEN WAS THE FIRST TIME --
>> THE FIRST MOVIE WAS 
POPEYE.
IF YOU REMEMBER THE OPENING 
SCENE IS ROBIN IN A ROW 
BOAT IN A STORM.
HERE'S THIS HUGE SCREEN AT 
CHINESE THEATER IN LOS 
ANGELES AND I THOUGHT 
THAT'S ROBIN, MY LITTLE BOY 
ROBIN.
LOOK AT HIM.
EAT YOUR HEART OUT, WORLD.
HERE HE COMES.
>> EAT YOUR HEART OUT, 
WORLD.
>> THAT'S AMAZING TO SEE 
HER.
THAT'S WONDERFUL.
I WAS BORN IN CHICAGO, SO 
THAT'S WHY IT'S NICE.
TOUGH TOWN, THE MOMENT 
YOU'RE BORNHE DOCR 
SLAPS YOU, GET OUT.
GET USED TO IT.
GET A JOB.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT?
I READ SOME PLACE THAT YOU 
SAID PEOPLE ASSUME YOU GREW 
UP IN AN UPPER-MIDDLE CLASS 
FAMILY THAT EVERYTHING WAS 
FINE.
AND YOU REALIZED IN THERAPY 
--
>> YOU FOUND OUT MOM WAS A 
CHRISTIAN DIOR SCIENTIST.
SHE ONLY WORE CERTAIN TYPES 
OF MAKEUP.
YOU FIND OUT OTHER -- YOU 
TRY AND WORK OUT ALL THE 
DIFFERENT THINGS.
>> WAS YOUR CHILDHOOD 
HA
