Man, you were so lucky to meet him. 😊
R.I.P. Jonathan Winters ..One of the funniest people to ever live... Cannot convey how much you are missed.. Truly one of kind comedic legend..😅❤
I met Johnathan Winters when I was in the Marines training recruits in San Diego. He was doing a pilot for a TV show and was dressed as a Drill Instructor. He ‘borrowed’ one of our recruit platoons and did a walk through as a Drill Instructor. We told the recruits not to laugh. I had been a fan since I was a kid. Our family never missed him when he was on TV and had all his albums memorized. Semper Fi Johnathan and RIP.
It makes me happy to see younger people enjoying incredible comedy like this. Johnathan Winters will always be a genius in his field.

You are so right. Comedy these days just doesn't measure up.
Jonathan Winters and Johnny Carson, there were none better than these 2 gentlemen. They were truly masters of their craft, true artisans who will always be missed.
Had the pleasure of meeting Jonathan in Montecito, Ca. in a bagel store parking lot. I'm from Cincinnati so he talked and I laughed for 20 minutes. Great guy to spend that much time with me and my wife.

I lived in Toluca lake in the early nineties. After church on Sundays, I'd go to Marie Callenders for lunch. Jonathan Winters often came in wearing overalls and a red tee shirt. He'd go table to table, booth to booth visiting with the patrons. Incredibly kind and funny man.

He had some weird nights, though -- some where he did nothing but drop bricks and clunkers, and a few (very few) when he was just _mean._ I wish I could cite specifics like shows, hosts, or whatever, but I can't. I just remember being occasionally disappointed in his appearances, and once or twice, shocked by his ability to slice deep.
"I'm on the phone too!" That's when I completely lost it.
It's been 51 years since this first aired.One can effortlessly watch it and find it still fresh. I wonder how things will turn out 51 years from now
Jonathan winters was hilarious in A Mad Mad World. His temper tantrum wrecking the gas station. 🤣🤣🤣
When Late Night was Late Night. Now we just have a bunch of Jimmies.
I will never forget one Tonight Show, and I was a kid at the time, when Jonathan Winters was on and he was apparently manic at the time. But he was so extraordinary, so funny that Johnny just gave him the whole show. Johnny stopped for commercial, came back, and let Jonathan do his thing. There were other guests we never got to see, Johnny just let Jonathan go. Jonathan was not so manic that he wasn't able to appreciate that he had an audience and a task, but he was just manic enough that he was able to keep up a level of performance that I remember to this day. If you could find that day, I would so appreciate seeing it again.
My schedule never allowed me to see Johnny except on rare occasions. But I'm glad I can catch up now in my retirement years.
I was 11, and forbidden from staying up late to watch The Tonight Show. Just to see people laughing.. to know there was laughter somewhere.. was what I wanted most. So glad to have seen this some 51 years later!

He wasn’t to sharp on that show, acted like he was being held back
It would have been an experience to have Jonathan Winters as a friend or Uncle, surely never a dull moment. Everything I've read and heard he was a very kind man. One of my favorite stories about him was from Robin Williams after Jonathan had parked in a handicap spot. Getting out a woman snapped; "You don't look handicapped to me!". Jonathan responded; "Madam can you see inside my mind?". Rest in Peace sir.
Johnny Winters was a Gem, Alcoholic as he was. He was a giant in ad lib and improv. I Loved Judy Colins so much.
Jonathan was pretty amazing as a guest on shows. This show is an example of how he could just tell stories and have people in stitches with his voices and mannerisms. My favorite comedian of all time.
What a wonderful time to be alive. And the wake of memories left from these great individuals.
It’s amazing, but whenever I feel like I need a bit of TV, I come back to Johnny Carson and my favorite guests. Says a lot about what’s on display today.

Growing up in the 50s, got our first TV about '54, remember the variety shows and then Johnny came on the scene and I discovered Jonathan Winters and his hilarious brand of humor. A high school classmate and I were car crazy and working on our cars and listening to one of Jonny's LP comedy albums provided hours of side splitting laughter trying to work on our cars. Good memories. Such good memories. Jonny's epic improvisations were just incredible. I remember someone would give him a random object and he'd create a hilarious comedy routine around that object. Miss him and that era dearly.
I haven’t clicked on a video so fast in I don’t know when. We need every single episode that Johnathan was a guest on!!!

Absolutely fantastic. My favorie comedian. He could make a dying man laugh.
We had several Jonathan winners albums when I was young and still listen to them religiously
The GOAT of last night talk Shows
Johnny talking to the bushes at 4 in the morning lol! And John Winters talking to a full bird like that lol!!
Jonny Winters was a genius an amazing comedian always on point. His relationship with Johnny Carson was true friendship that went all the way back to the 1950s. The later shows with Winters just before Carson retired I think about 1992 were classic shows
As everyone says, our memories were so good!

I wish I had every show with him on it I could watch anytime
That was the one TV show my parents let me watch i loved him. So so funny.
I still recall watching the Carson show when I was younger. Used to be a ritual in college to watch Carson after a good smoke. Remember seeing Steve Martin on Carson before he was famous. We laughed so hard it hurt!
Could you imagine Johnathan and a telemarketer?
Johnathan winters in mad mad world one of the funniest thing ever saw 😂😂😂😂😂
Love Johnny Winters. My fav comedian.
Winters was talking about working with Robin Williams on Mork&Mindy and teared up talking about how much fun it was especially considering how he felt forgotten and washed up😢 RIP Winters and Williams, two peas in a pod
Are used to live in Montecito, California, and winters shopped at the same grocery store. I did in invariably, once a month, he’d follow me through the store, adding things to my grocery cart. Never said a word… Just smiled. He was a riot.

Those were the days. You could smoke openly on TV and sometimes you announced what product the next commercial was going to be for. And you could watch comedians like Jonathan Winters.
Vulnerable childlike wonderful.
I saw Winters at the parking lot of Robinson's Department Store in Pasadena California. I was shocked he was so tall.
What great, entertaining days these were.
