" Robin Williams was a guest on David Letterman&amp;#039;s show 50 times, and the two comics had known each other for 38 years since they both got their start in the business at Los Angeles&amp;#039;s famed Comedy Store in the late &amp;#039;70s. It goes without saying that the longtime late-night host has more than a few Robin Williams stories to tell, and with the Late Show off last week, Letterman was finally able to pay tribute last night. Before showing a montage of clips of Williams&amp;#039;s late-night appearances, Letterman spoke of how blown away all of the Comedy Store comics were when Williams first burst onto the scene (&amp;quot;We were like the morning dew, he comes in like a hurricane&amp;quot;), and how kind Williams was to give Letterman a short-lived spot on Mork &amp;amp;amp; Mindy (&amp;quot;Even to the detriment of the show, Robin was kind enough to invite me to come on&amp;quot;). After the montage finished playing, Letterman wrapped up the 10-minute tribute simply: &amp;quot;What a guy, Robin Williams.&amp;quot;      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
