Comedian Robin Williams was a guest on The David Letterman Show last night.  The actor talked about his recent surgery to replace several defective heart valves and even brought a photo of his surgical scar.  Letterman has also had quadruple bypass surgery so the two really got into the telling of their surgical war stories.

According to Williams, he was touring in Florida when he began experiencing shortness of breath.  Doctors determined that he was suffering a serious medical condition and needed surgery within two weeks time.   He had the procedure at the renowned Cleveland Clinic and has since fully recovered.  In a serious moment he said, “You do get a second lease on life, and it’s a gift.”

Robin also talked about his new adventure comedy Night At The Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, scheduled for a May 22 theater release.

Check out the videos below and a photo of Robin Williams’ chest scar.
