10 Robin Williams TV Appearances You Must Watch

7. Friends

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni6VPBIiFRY Friends premiered twenty years ago on NBC, and quickly drew a large audience. It was a smash hit that stayed that way until its final episode in 2004. During an episode of the show€™s third season, Robin Williams and Billy Crystal made a surprise cameo. It was essentially a brief two-minute skit featuring the famous comedians. As the main cast sat at their favorite cafe -- featured often through the show€™s run -- Crystal and Williams decided to butt in. The two sat on the couch alongside the group of pals and began to loudly discuss an issue. Crystal played the straight man, while Robin was the flamboyant, non-specific foreigner. He complained of his fear that his wife was having an affair with his gynecologist. Crystal later confirmed that his wife was having an affair and that he was the other party. Robin stormed out of the cafe with Billy in tow, but not before Crystal gave a sly smirk to the audience. It was a throwaway moment within the context of the show -- reportedly being inserted on the day when Robin and Crystal visited the set. However, it€™s a fun little scene that provided a brief laugh thanks to Robin€™s over the top routine.
