Here's the full episode:

"Luminous" so perfectly captures his impact..we all had the incredible luck to watch this talent over the past 40 years - and on the surface he was this fun, funny and incredibly bright man. It's such a profound comment on the state of mental illness in our society, and hopefully - HOPEFULLY this loss will help some…

A great deal of the discussion on this post has centered on where to go for help if you or someone you know is contemplating suicide.

Fuck depression.

I love that. That's how he dealt with nervousness. He was a comedic genius when he was nervous.

That episode might be my favorite thing he's ever done. As far as I'm concerned it's irrefutable proof that he was an actual genius.

This is my favorite episode of "Inside the Actor's Studio." I'm so incredibly sad for his family and friends.

Well, that's it. This photo is the thing that opened the floodgates. They were so young and happy and they're both gone now after each suffering so much in their own way. Definitely an introspective night ahead for me.

I'm so sad that he's gone. And fuck depression.

R.I.P. and thank you for 30 years of laughter in my family.

Genie, you're free.

Bangarang, Peter. May you fly free.

I think this series of responses was either dismissed by the OP or eaten by kinja so I'm going to leave a link to the disappeared comments here.

Those eyewitness accounts were a little too brown for some people to give them any credit.

The context is that he was unarmed and had his hands in the air. The context is that police murder a black person every 28 hours in the US. The context is hundreds of years of dehumanization of black people: lynchings, slavery, you name it. The context is the rights that we are supposedly afforded by the Constitution,…

The craziest thing to me in the aftermath of these killings is how accepting most people are of the militarization of the police. I fully expect that when video footage is found (dashcam or otherwise), Mike Brown will have done nothing that could warrant a reaction with fatal force, but people will still look and…
