The article discusses George Schlatter's new book, Still Laughing: A Life in Comedy, in which he recalls Billy Crystal's tribute to Robin Williams at an event organized by American Cinematheque. Schlatter explains that instead of a normal presentational-type show, he decided to have a dais of all comics, including Crystal, Johnny Carson, Chevy Chase, and Martin Mull. Crystal wanted to appear on stage as a phallic character named Mr. Happy, and Schlatter enlisted costume designers Bob Mackie and Ray Aghayan to create a penis costume for him. Crystal went through multiple fittings for the costume before it was completed.
