The most touching moment of the night was without doubt the tribute for Robin Williams, introduced by his brilliant friend Billy Crystal. In a powerful and emotionally-loaded speech, Crystal said of the late comedian, “He made us laugh, hard. He could be funny anywhere. As genius as he was on stage, he was the greatest friend you could ever imagine: supportive, protective, loving. It’s very hard to talk about him in the past because he was so present, in all of our lives. For almost 40 years he was the brightest star in the comedy galaxy.”
