Conan O'Brien Remembers Robin Williams' Kindness

Conan O'Brien recounted a touching story about Robin Williams during a recent episode of his podcast, 'Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend.' After O'Brien was fired from 'The Tonight Show' in 2010, he received an unexpected phone call from Williams, who checked in on him and offered encouragement during a difficult time. Williams arranged for a bike to be waiting for O'Brien at a local shop in Santa Monica, adding a whimsical touch by having it painted in bright 'Irish colors.' O'Brien described the bike as comically unattractive but appreciated the kind gesture, saying he was grateful for Williams' thoughtfulness. Eric Idle, a friend of Williams, noted that such caring actions were typical of the late comedian, who often went out of his way to make others feel better.
