The Emmy has declared to officially felicitate Late Robin Williams at this year's 66th Primetime Emmy Awards on Aug. 25.
"Plans for the In Memoriam segment are in discussion," Executive producer Don Mischer said in a statement. "While we are all still coming to terms with this week's tragic news, we are working to give Robin Williams the proper and meaningful remembrance he so well deserves."
No doubt, World's most loved comedian, the greatest stand-up comic of all time, and one time TV star deserves a fitting tribute
It's been days to his his tragic death, and it seems the whole world can't help but mourn its beloved, iconic entertainer. And with the Emmys just12 days away, there couldn't have been a fitter way to honor the dead legend.
However, deciding how much emphasis and time will be allotted to Williams' tribute will be a tough call to make, given that last year's Emmy cast received severe backlash for being too dark and heavy-handed.
Many criticized its multiple, lengthy tributes to Glee star Cory Monteith, who had passed away two months prior. People felt that the night was too somber. Others wondered why Monteith got special treatment over the year's other fallen stars.
