David Steinberg

Listen to "David Steinberg Introduces Robin Williams On YouTube" on Spreaker. The Channel, a Digital Home for William's Classic Sketches and Exclusive Extras, Will Launch With Five Clips and Then Debut a New Clip Each Week Through June While Robin Williams started performing stand-up comedy in the mid-'70s, most of America first fell in love with him as the naïve and hilarious alien from the planet Ork in Mork & Mindy. He became an instant superstar and went on to do five HBO stand-up specials and dozens of feature films. Robin performed steadily for nearly four decades -- from comedy clubs to stadiums, from talk shows to USO tours -- and continually amazed audiences with his frenetic energy and unbelievably quick wit. This April Fool's Day, the jokers at Time Life will launch The Official Robin Williams YouTube Channel, celebrating this life and comic genius. Whether you know Robin from the stage or from the screen, as a comedian, an alien, or a genie - home audiences can subscribe to the channel and be prepared to laugh and cry at unforgettable and hilarious performances by the singular talent. Upon launch, the channel will feature five clips including three classic live performance clips hand-picked from his HBO stand-up specials, including his uproarious sketch on the beginnings of "Golf" ("Robin Williams Live on Broadway", 2002), "Spark of Madness" ("Off the Wall" 1978) and "Koko" about his run-in with the famous signing gorilla ("Robin Williams Live on Broadway"). Also featured at launch are exclusive, recently shot interview clips featuring comedian Lewis Black on "Becoming Friends with Robin Williams" and David Steinberg, Williams' longtime manager and friend holding forth with an "Inside Look on Robin Williams' Genius". Each week following the launch through the end of June, the comedy mavens at Time Life will post a brand new clip to the channel. Of the channel, Steinberg says, ""What a great time to enjoy the gift of Robin's genius. Who doesn't need a laugh?" This Official Robin Williams YouTube Channel follows on the heels of Time Life's release of ROBIN WILLIAMS: COMIC GENIUS, a trio of DVD collections celebrating the iconic comedian which spanned the electrifying comic's 40-year career. Included in the releases, decades in the making, are a completist's 22-disc set featuring 50+ hours of improvisational brilliance, a 5-disc collector's set and a single disc featuring Robin's first HBO stand-up special. All DVD releases also feature newly produced featurettes and exclusive interviews. For more information or to purchase Robin Williams products, visit www.timelife.com
