Letterman's tribute to Robin Williams

http://popwatch.ew.com/2014/08/19/david-letterman-robin-williams/

If you're wondering why it took until yesterday, it's because Letterman was off last week and aired old episodes. I went to sleep too early and missed it. Damn.

when I exited that, Letterman was just beginning this wonderful tribute. It made me tear up. So heartfelt.

Having major depression and anxiety myself, losing this fantastic man has been pretty tough.

Thank you for posting it.

Robin Williams' suicide has made me hurt as if he were a family member. I wish I could have talked to him. I can't comprehend that we'll never see him alive again.

David Letterman always rises to the occasion. R.I.P. Robin, I will be saying that for a long time.
