Colin Mochrie is spilling backstage memories of two comedy giants — one who made the crew roar and another who rewired his idea of performance. Read on to discover the full story!

Robin Williams on Whose Line

Mochrie, 68, remembers when the late actor flew down from Vancouver while shooting One Hour Photo to appear on Whose Line Is It Anyway? He calls Williams 'incredibly generous' and funny, someone who learned the crew's names fast and blended in as one of the cast. Williams stayed after the taping for another hour of bits, and Mochrie recalls he literally sweated through three shirts. At one point a woman shouted for his shirt; Williams tossed it and the crew heard a 'splat.' Mochrie calls the visit a highlight and says the show's energy was ramped up 150% that night.

Sid Caesar's birthday surprise

Mochrie also recalls Sid Caesar appearing on the show around his 80th birthday. Though Caesar arrived frail and leaning on a cane, his double-talk routine transformed him onstage. Mochrie translated a bit for him, got a wink and a thumbs-up, and felt profoundly inspired — even though he hadn’t grown up watching Caesar's originals.
