+1, wonder this often. Comedians are actually kind of martyrs of humor for the human race --- "the show must go on!"
I feel that to truly see the comedy that is expressed in...comedy, one has to hit some very dark lows and see humanity as it is --- ridiculous, hilarious, beautiful, and totally absurd.
Maybe the show can only go on for so long. Robin Williams certainly earned a suicide if anyone has, I can say that for a fact.
