One of the many tributes for the late actor and comedian Robin Williams will take place in the 2014 Emmy Awards. It was a decision made by Emmys executive producer Don Mischer last Tuesday to make the last-minute inclusion of the tribute.
Mischer worked with Williams several times in different shows and he was clear on how he admired the late actor. So, he promised to honor Williams in a meaningful tribute on Emmy Night.
And there's no better man to lead the tribute than William's good friend Billy Crystal. The tribute will be accompanied with the song "Hercules" by Sara Bareilles, whom she specifically dedicated to Williams.
Crystal and Williams have also worked together several times. Crystal took to Twitter to share his sentiments over William's death. He kept it short and tweeted "No words."
