Monday night’s premiere of Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind drew more than one million viewers on HBO’s main channel, the highest performing Monday night documentary in 12 years, according to the premium cabler.
That is the best performance for a Monday night docu premiere on HBO since When The Levees Broke Pt. 1 & 2, which drew 1.74 million viewers on August 21, 2006, and is the highest overall viewership for a documentary debut since the January 2017 premiere of Bright Lights, which aired on a Saturday night, with 1.55 million viewers.
Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind is an intimate portrait of Williams, told largely by the comedian himself, examining his life, career, and what drove him to give voice to the characters in his mind.
The documentary features never-before-seen footage and in-depth interviews with Billy Crystal, Eric Idle, Whoopi Goldberg, David Letterman, Steve Martin, Pam Dawber, Zak Williams and others.

David Steinberg, executive producer of “Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind” and longtime manager to Williams, watched the legendary comedian perform countless shows over the years. But one memory that sticks out occurred while his client was on a United Service Organizations tour, where Williams performed standup for hundreds of wounded servicemen and women before personally greeting each of them.
“Someone who could do that can certainly mask some of what’s going on inside of him,” Steinberg told Variety.
On the red carpet for Wednesday’s premiere of HBO’s Williams documentary at the Tcl Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, filmmakers, actors and comedians shared their on-screen and off-screen memories of Williams, who died by suicide in 2014.
Though nearly four years have passed since Williams’ death, mental health has been a widely discussed topic in recent weeks following the suicides of fashion designer Kate Spade and cooking personality Anthony Bourdain.
