Billy Crystal will pay tribute to the late Robin Williams at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards.
Crystal had a longstanding friendship with Williams, who died Aug. 11 at 63; the two actors co-starred in Ivan Reitman’s 1997 comedy Father’s Day. Following Williams’ death, Crystal wrote a brief message on Twitter. His Emmy tribute would be the first time he’d be speaking at length about his friend since his passing.
No words.
