In Honor of Robin Williams, "My Favorite Orkan" to Air Friday at 9 p.m. ET on Hub Network

Robin Williams, Ron Howard and Henry Winkler.
The Hub Network is paying tribute to the legendary actor Robin Williams with a special airing of the Happy Days episode "My Favorite Orkan," which will air two times in succession on Friday, August 15 at 9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. ET/6 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. PT. This episode introduced the now famous alien Mork and landed Williams his first starring television role in the popular sitcom Mork & Mindy.

Fans everywhere will get to enjoy the episode with the alternative ending that paved the way for Mork & Mindy with an on air tribute during the hour in honor of this Oscar award-winning actor and beloved comedian.

In "My Favorite Orkan," Richie (Ron Howard) seemingly dreams about an alien named Mork who tries to take him back to his home planet, but must compete with Fonzie first who will not let Mork take his best friend without a fight.

Williams committed suicide by hanging himself with a belt, Marin County police said at a Tuesday press conference.

The preliminary cause of death is suicide due to asphyxia, Lt. Keith Boyd told the media.

According to Boyd, Williams' assistant found him hanging in a bedroom, slightly suspended in a seated position, with superficial cut marks on the inside of his left wrist; rigor mortis had already set in. He was pronounced dead at 12:02 p.m. on Monday.

Williams was last seen alive by his wife at approximately 10:30 p.m. on Sunday, Boyd added, before she went to bed.
