-Comedian- Actor Robin Williams arrived at the New York premiere of his latest movie, August Rush, in character. The character of “totally schizo hairy man:”

But his favorite music, he said, is the music of New York. “Look around you,” he exclaimed. “It’s like Gershwin flowin’! It’s got music, girl, everywhere. Uptown, downtown” — he turned into a feisty Latina. “Hola, mira, Mami. You got this thing, and it just keeps you movin’, ju know? You gotta have it, Papi. You know, leesten, leesten. Iss all crazy!”

Hahahahaha! Wait. What’s that noise? Ah! The dulcet timbre of a career quickly fading.

At this, the publicist began pulling him away, either because she felt enough was enough with the ethnic stereotypes, or the screening was about to begin. In his wake, however, there was a chorus of laughter.

Remember when Robin Williams was funny?

Hello?
