Robin Williams Jokes About ‘Heart Valve Surgery’ With David Letterman
May 14th, 2009After double heart valve surgery…. Robin Williams is back!!!!!
Last night, Robin made a special appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman.
As you would imagine, Williams has easily managed to transform his mitral valve repair and aortic valve replacement experience into some great, stand-up comedy. I especially liked the funnies about cow valves, pig valves, mechanical valves, The Cleveland Clinic and Dr. A. Marc Gillinov (his surgeon).
To watch the interview, simply click the ‘play button’ on the picture below and please make sure the sound on your computer is on.
As Williams is one of my favorite actors and comedians, I was also thrilled to learn that Robin will resume his tour, Weapons of Self Destruction, on September 30 in Bloomington, Indiana.
Keep on tickin’ Robin!!!
