>> We all saw him martian on mork and mindy, and in many ways we still do. Sees surely not of this earth, he's the superhuman from another planet. To watch and listen to him is to feel serious pain in our abdominal muscles, since hard and long laughing is as painful as doing a few dozen sit-ups. Try it. Try and working with him over the course of a whole movie. It really hurts.
[ Laughter ]
>> so we all know he's probably
the funniest man on earth or
mars.
Not everyone knows of his --
well, I'm sorry, there's no
other word -- but goodness.
He's adored by everyone on the
set and the theert because he is
kind and thoughtful with
everyone.
He is a great husband and father
to his wife and children, and
they get right back at him by
being the best.
He is a rare friend.
He takes care of his friends,
always.
He goes without fanfare to iraq
and to afghanistan twice,
because he thinks the soldiers
there would probably like some
laughs.
He is, to put it simply, a
wonderful man.
In 1992, robin received a
special award from the hollywood
foreign press association for
giving us the voice of the genie
in the animated feature aladdin,
and in that film he sang a
wonderful song which sums up
howl we all feel about his
career.
The world of entertainment has
never had a friend like this.
>> Ay! 10,000 years will give you such a krick in the neck.
You ain't never had a friend like me
you ain't never had a friend never had a friend you ain't never had a friend like me

[ Laughter ]
>> that was very humbling.
Thank you!
You're quite amazing that way.
I didn't know what the foreign
press was.
I always thought it was a
wrestling move.
And then i went to my first
hollywood foreign press.
They had it, it was the press
conference and i said, who are
the peoplethe buffet?
I said, those are the ho
foreign press.
What a lovely thing!
Try the danish!
Some nice danish is good for m
at that time, a long time ago,
they all had day jobs.
I guess things have changed.
You go to a restaurant saying,
hi, table for two?
It's always nice to go there
they take the pictures.
I had the magazine upside down.
I'm very sorry to the chinese
people.
I'm very sorry.
I'd like to thank also the
hollywood foreign press for,
number one, having an open bar.
This makes this evening go kind
of well.
Especially the year that gerard
had a couple of bottles of wine
and said, I want to give jeffrey
a big, wet kiss!
I hope that happens someday.
I also want to thank you for
having prince,...
William shatner,...
Puff daddy and mick jagger on
the same stage.
That is the si
apocalypse.
Thank you!
That is the end of the world as
we know it!
I also want to thank the
hollywood foreign press for
acknowledging comedy.
Jim, you know this.
Normally they look at comedians
as special people, "thank you
very much" and you allow us to
be in the room with adults.
You even have a category for us:
Comedy and dancing!
There's a lot of dancers who
could have been up here tonight,
but they didn't make it!
[ Laughter ]
>> i also want to thank the hollywood foreign press for their lovely "star trek the musical" set.
[ Laughter ]
but do you acknowledge comedy,
which is a wonderful thing, over
the years, and that's been a
glorious, glorious thing.
You know, comedy is very hard.
Comedy is about women with
wonderful hands, and ...
[ Laughter ]
>> a governor in california who talks like this.
[ Imitating arnold
schwarzenegger ]
a man who says "welcome to
california!"
I want to thank them.
Because every time i would go to
the hollywood foreign press,
they would say -- and if i knew
the movie wasn't very good,
there was this one woman named
dora who would go: How are the
kids?
So dora, i brought my kids
tonight.
They're here tonight.
I want to introduce cody, the
ninja poet.
Cody.
Zelda.
Photographer, actress.
Big fan of "hello kitty."
Zachary, the linguist.
He does very good.
He's going to open up a syntax
repair shop.
And I also want to share this
award with a very special woman,
a lifetime achievement award.
With marcia.
I would like to give you my
praise for living with a
comedian.
Isn't that right, sybill?
Yes!
We're a little rough.
But thank you for offering me a
shelter in the midst of all
this.
Thank you.
A wonderful thing.
I also want to thank another
amazing woman, and rebecca
spencer, who is my assistant,
has a quick way of really
leveling me when i get too
infused in myself, going i'm a
star.
She'll go: Hey, mork guy!
Oh, did yo
private plane?
Life's a bitch.
Come on, let's go.
Rebecca.
Freud once said: If it's not
one thing, it's your mother.
I thank you, mom.
[ Laughter ]
>> thank you for getting me
hooked in this profession.
You got me started.
I also want to thank my hebrew
crew.
You know who i'm talkin' about.
I'm sending out my
representatives.
I'm sending a big hey!
Out to david steinberg, larry,
buddy if he's awake.
Jack rollins, the most ethical
man in show business.
And I want to thank a very, very
special person tonight.
I dedicate this award to the
memory of a friend of mine.
Chris reeves, I miss you, and i
also say, may flights of angels
send thee to thy rest, sweet
prince.
Good night.
