Many of us woke up to the news this morning that the legendary actor and comedian Robin Williams has died. Everyone from President Barack Obama to his many friends have been paying tribute to the talented actor while the rest of us mourn the star of so many of our favourite movies from childhood to now.

Late Night host Conan O'Brien learned of the news while recording his Monday night show yesterday, and sadly, had to break it to the stunned audience. The host paid an emotional tribute to the actor along with Andy Richter and his guest Will Arnett.

It's unnerving to see funnyman Conan so visibly taken aback but his reaction certainly sums up how so many people are feeling right now about this truly awful news.
