Billy Crystal Will Deliver Robin Williams Tribute During Emmy Awards

It's been reported that comedian Billy Crystal will lead the Robin Williams tribute during the 66th annual Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday, Aug. 25, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The two comedians were longtime friends before the Mrs. Doubtfire star's unfortunate passing last Monday, Aug. 11 at the age of 63-years-old. Both Williams and Crystal starred alongside one another in the 1997 Ivan Reitman film Father's Day and had known each other beforehand from their days coming up in stand-up comedy. Crystal's tribute will be the first time he's speaking out about his friend's death with the exception of his twitter post.

As mentioned by MStarsNews, following Williams' passing, the When Harry Met Sally lead took to Twitter to express his feelings, tweeting out the only thing he, and many other people, could think of: "No words."

No words.

The announcement of the Crystal-led tribute was made earlier today by executive producer Don Mischer at the red-carpet rollout. Also announced was that musician Sara Bareilles will be performing during the In Memoriam segment.

Presenting at this year's Emmy's will be the ikes of Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, Halle Berry, Bryan Cranston, Matthew McConaughey, Jim Parsons, and more.

The 66th annual Primetime Emmy Awards will air this coming Monday, Aug. 25, at the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. The ceremonies will kick off at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on NBC.
