Close Up: Robin Williams tackles the Kiwi accent

It's hard to imagine how Robin Williams mind keeps up with his mouth.

And after thirty years in the business he's still as quick as ever.

Life's changed though - a recent divorce, a battle with alcohol addiction and open heart surgery all mean Robin Williams is taking life a little easier these days.

But as Dominic Bowden found out, the funny man is still doing what he does best, making people laugh.

Is that a fake laugh I hear from Dominic bowden, what a douche!

[ReneeMauriceOriginal]

I don't think the laugh is fake necessarily I think it's nervous. I know I bloody-well would be!

[plonker00765]

so, when did he do the nz accent ?

[benthecube]

Good to see the "presenters" and "anchors" are just as douche-tastic across the water. I'm not quite as embarrassed for us now.
