    "We had gay burglars the other night. They broke in and rearranged the furniture."

    I wonder what his last joke was.

    22 years later, and as hilarious as ever.

    Will always be the Broncos' first male cheerleader.

    RIP. This is tough.

    "I was going to buy you a VCR but the stores didn't have any."

    Marc Maron has re-posted his interview with Robin from 2010.

    Loved his late career with What Dreams May Come, World's Greatest Dad, One Hour Photo and Final Cut, but all those roles revealed a guy who was not happy. All dark, tormented characters.

    Between this and the Tony Stewart situation, my capacity for wierdness has been maxed out. RIP.

    My 11-year-old daughter walked in the room right as I read about this. She has seen a few things with him in it, most notably Alladin and Night at the Museum, but really doesn't get who he was. She found out right along with me that his death is being reported as a suicide.

    Her response: "But he had such a great life."

    Beyond talking about the drug use, I did not have an answer for that. The really sad part is, I'm not even that surprised. Just sad that he is gone and frustrated by how his life apparently ended.

    I read some time back that he was having money trouble.

    Said that's why he signed on to that CBS sitcom that was on last season.

    Paying for divorces and drugs had wiped him out.

    Being expected to be funny must take an enormous mental toll on a person.
    It's not something that's healthy or practical.
