A walking encyclopedia of silliness!

He was a greAt man And a genius

When life gives you a lemon, give it to Jonathan Winters, sit back and enjoy the show. RIP!

Rest in Peace. He was the best.

Geez, every time I see Jonathan Winters I am amazed. He played a plethora of different persons: idiots, criminals, homosexuals, women, half-wits, country bumpkins -- and when he played the role, the people he played looked real. So many people asked for him just because of his comic genius. There is always a sad part: the fact that Jonathan is not here. It's a damn shame. God makes one masterpiece in a lifetime. When that masterpiece is gone, you have good memories, but you have a hell of a lot of heartache. That's what I have ever time I see Jonathan. Laughter and heartache.

Jack Paar doesn't want to laugh because Jonathan Winters sounds African! This shit is so funny! Look at the expression on on Jack Paar's face during the African part. He tries real hard not to laugh!

I’m truly sorry you feel that way, because I used to also, so I know what it feels like. But if you could only know what I now know, and it didn’t involve any religious faith to believe, although I did have my faith. Jonathan Winters is infinitely more than just fine, and I have no doubt he’s still causing people to laugh where he’s at. So cheer up, all is well.

He was one in a Million, no one will ever take his place RIP Jonathan & thanks for giving us many enjoyable hours on TV.

I can NOT get enough of this genius!!!! Thank you so much for uploading this! 😍💝🥰🌟😎

Oh dear...he was such a delight. Nobody talked when Winters was on. He always rocked whatever room he showed up in.

Just brilliant. Never had to cuss up a storm to get his point across!

A true genius. His comedy holds up almost 60 years later.

Still to this day, the one and only true comic genius....

Watching in 2018. Pure genius. Rest in Paradise Jonathan.

I'm amazed . I grew up enjoying Jonathan Winters' work but after all those decades my memories of him had faded . I had been incapable of fully appreciating him as a child but he now fills me with awe and makes me wonder if he was human . Robin Williams was a superb heir for him .

He is incredible, awesome I have no words to describe how brilliant is Jonathan Winters.

The very best and funniest comedians are...nuts :)

RIP Mr Winters....thank you for all the laughs and smiles.

About half of Robin's material went over my head, but I can appreciate everything Winter's did. He was my all-time favorite.

R.I.P Jonathan .:) You Made Me Laugh so many Times .:)

WHAT AN IMAGINATION!!!!

Brilliant man. And so funny. Loved him. Good memories!

I love Jonathan Winters, his humor is timeless. Thank you so very much for posting this gem!

Jonathan Winters and Robin Williams 1 and 1a, you cannot separate their genius,, they are sorely missed

love you, Jonathan, RIP!

Jonathan Winters is the funniest. Man ever seen he is so funny and a great entertanier!!!

If you don't laugh out loud while watching this, you just might be dead. He not only had the "physical equipment" (facial expressions, attitude), and the talent; he had a mental brilliance that we have not seen in anyone hence. And how about that Bing Crosby imitaiton?!!! Rest in Peace and always keep them laughing in Heaven.. Love, a Fan !!

Johnaton you are loved and blessed!!!

I have been laughing at Jonathan since I was 12 and I just turned 68. He is consistently the funniest. All his work has been a scream over the years but I love the early work. Maud Frickert is the best.

Ya gotta love this man. he was totally hysterical when he was on a roll. a very brave man.

You can't beat this comic genius. He and Robin were simply so fast and beyond words. They were that good. And i don't ever see anyone replacing them. God bless them both and THANK YOU for ALL the times you made me wet myself...;)

The best ever.

Wow ,,,, thank you for the upload. Jonathan was a GENIUS hands down. I have always loved the man . He have us all so many laughs and will continue to as long as he is remembered.

When I was 15 I discovered Jonathan Winters. His show was on Wednesday night- I would start laughing during the day, and by showtime I would be in hysterics. The next day would be a complete rehashing of the show with my fellow JW fan...

Kind man, funniest man ever

genius

Proof positive that this man was the ZENITH in the super-funny department. If you don't laugh out loud while watching this, you just might be dead. He not only had the "physical equipment" (facial expressions, attitude), and the talent; he had a mental brilliance that we have not seen in anyone hence. And how about that Bing Crosby imitaion?!!! Wow, was there anything this genius couldn't do?! A treaure. Thanks for the upload!

thanks so much for this post...i am sad that he is gone and yet here i am laughing crazy at his zany antics

RIP Mr Winters!!!

He was incredible

I wonder if anyone now,could be this brillant?glad I grew up with him on TV.

RIP Jonathan...:)

Legendary !

I’ve seen this so many times I can’t get enough JW was so natural and it came through Nothing like it

Maude Fricket was the most insane , hilarious Winters character😂

Brilliance! Peace :-)

"Did you ever undress in front of a dog?" hahaha!

Thank you for the sideaches from laughing,the tears from laughing so much and all the wonderful memories and being a big influence on me when I was little...

We grew up watching Mr Winters and hope he's at peace.

JONATHAN WINTERS WAS A COMIC GENIUS......R.I.P

You can say that again....with class too.

Johnathan Winters was the absolute best!

"Alright, YOU go to war!" LMAO!!! WONDERFUL!!!

What other word is there? Genius.

"Did you ever undress in front of a dog?"

A delight to see a nd laugh with!!

Thanks for this classic vintage audio/video - he's a scream! Cheers, '62 Mathew St. (Total Retro Rock)

absolute genius.

Thanx for the great memories

Well said.

RIP Jonathan.

When Mr. Winters had his own television show, at the end they would bring out a surprise prop and he improvised, I remember when they gave him a banana, I can't remember all the jokes he made with it, but I will always remember how hard I laughed....I was a fan from that day on. OMG , the service station scene in It's A Mad Mad Mad World!

Jonathan made you love him

Of all American humorists and comedians of the 20th, there are three who stand apart of all the others. Mark Twain, who provided his humor primarily in the 19th century but survived until 1910, Groucho Marx, a master of wit, and Jonathan Winters who amazed and captivated audiences simply because one never knew what he would do next. A master of improvisation and the ad lib as he descended into character. No one ever approached his lightning wit and zany ramblings. He was the idol of Robin Williams who himself considered Winters the true master. Fortunately there remain many snippets of his appearances on various TV shows that provide examples of his comic wizardry.

I have idolized this genius since I first heard his album in 1960. I was stationed in France and I was 20. I still laugh until I cry from his instant made up routines. Sometimes I think Robin Williams popped out of his butt...

Lol... Oh no he did not break out into an African song as an African.... Oh goodness!... Lol... Sunbathing w/ the wallet!... Lol... His comedic, improvisation talent is 2nd to none! Peace :-)

HE WAS A GENIUS,most super intelligent people are nuts or near it,simple everyday things don't matter and they only think,even in their sleep,JON was brilliant,view anything by ROBIN WILLIAMS he'll say the same thing,they were afflicted the same,brilliance and super attendance to detail,JON once did the sounds of screwdrivers and wrenches in a scene,it was beyond genius

So funny! How can he do so much with just a stick prop? Amazing!

Jonathan Winters was so underratedm he is the funniest guy ever.

Il est Extraordinaire et le terme est faible !

None funnier. He was brilliant.

he was a classic; around during the late '50's thru the 70's mostly.. saw stuff he did and heard recordings of his from the time I was very young (he was a fave of my dad's). theere's a whole lot which isn't up here; not that big a surprise as there is such a large body of work. amazing improv artist!

An Unbelievably funny man.

Genius!

THE BEST EVER HE AND ROBIN OH MY GOD

JW...THE Best comedian, Ever.

Jonathan Winters -- comic genius. Came from a world full of comic geniuses like Dean Martin. They don't make them like this anymore. I guess I'll have to wait to die to see one of Jonathan's shows. There's nothing like them here on earth.

Are you an aging baby boomer too? Yup, (another) part of me died when Jonathan died. They just don't make them like that any more, and you can't go back. My dad liked Jonathan, and both are now gone. I don't think the under 30 crowd can appreciate this stuff. Innocence is lost.

Marty Howe , I think some do, but only the ones that are not blindly consumed with the trashy celebrities of today. If they ran a JW special with all these skits and more, I bet many of the younger folks would really like it. But what they see and are in fact brainwashed into seeing as the norm is the smut in TV, movies and stand up acts.

he made such an impression on those who were exposed to his Nature of Verbal Art

Jack Paar giving a stick to Jonathan to do things with was like Robin Williams getting a scarf at the Actors Studio.
