"When you find that thing that you really love, there's a bliss that goes along with it," Williams said of the beginning of his stand-up career. "And there's a bliss of knowing, 'This is what I want to do.' And when you find it, and know that that's it, it is an incredibly powerful feeling."Alongside a chronicle of his life, the show features a swath of other entertainers reflecting on the comedian's electrifying talent and energy. Margaret Cho, Howie Mandel, Barry Levinson, Pauly Shore, Lewis Black and others weigh in on the comic legend.

It's all of this wonderful thing that you say is your whole life.'"SAN FRANCISCO - NOVEMBER 21, 2005: Actor Robin Williams in a promotional portrait for the Search for the Cause campaign.
