Robin Williams
If there’s one comedian who deserves the title of “funniest comedian of all time,” it’s Williams. He was brilliant, physical and talented. He was also humble and down-to-earth.
He suffered from addiction for most of his career, and was actually using with John Belushi prior to his overdose. He got clean, but admitted too suffering from depression and anxiety for most of his life.
In 2014, he committed suicide by hanging, after being diagnosed with something called Lewy Body Dementia – an umbrella term for Parkinsons that includes severe depression, anxiety, paranoia and memory loss.
I can’t imagine what it’d be like to be the funniest man one earth one day, and start to lose it all the next.
I was just going to comment on the math but you beat me to it.
