Williams first appeared on HBO in 1977 as part of the "Young Comedians" special. He went on to star in four solo specials on the network: "On Location: Robin Williams" (1978), "An Evening with Robin Williams" (1983), "Robin Williams: An Evening at the Met" (1986) and "Robin Williams: Live on Broadway" (2002). Along with Billy Crystal and Whoopi Goldberg, Williams was one of the hosts of all nine "Comic Relief" all-star charity benefit specials on HBO.
