The late-night host breaks the tragic news to his audience about the death of his friend.

Everyone who heard the tragic news about Robin Williams couldn’t help but be upset but, for those who knew him, like late-night host Conan O’Brien, the news was especially difficult to deal with.

O’Brien was taping his show when the news came through so he included it in his show, while Will Arnett and co-host Andy Richter, two other colleagues of Williams, were also present.

Visibly shocked by the news, O’Brien speaks of how upsetting and horrifying Williams’ death is before Arnett and Richter pay touching tributes to the 63-year-old.
