On Monday night, Crystal will get the chance to share more of his thoughts about his frequent comedy partner when he leads a tribute to the departed actor at the 2014 Primetime Emmy Awards.

E! reporter Marc Malkin revealed on Twitter Wednesday that Crystal will be doing the honors at Monday night’s ceremony:

Along with Whoopi Goldberg, Crystal and Williams spent many years hosting the Comic Relief specials to benefit charities for the homeless. Williams would also help pitch in when Crystal hosted the Academy Awards, as you can see from the classic bit below.
