Williams’ idol and mentor was Winters

God, I love this guy. A great storyteller. The funniest man to have walked the planet. IMHO

Jonathan Winters made Johnny Cason laugh harder then any other comedian he had on his show.

Winters will always be my favorite comedian.

I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Jonathan Winters at a Hollywood party back in the late sixties. He was so sweet to me and kissed the back of my hand. It continues to be a treasured memory from that era. What an amazingly talented comedian.

I’m almost 72 and got to watch this stuff when I was young, including JW’s own show. What a quick wit Jonathan Winters was. I used to about break my face laughing. So “out there” for that time. I loved it.

This is the sort of late night entertainment we don't have anymore....

Right, first there are no host that could do this. Second, the audience today that is available at that day-part lacks a frame of reference. Carson was king, Lettermen carried it on a bit, but didn't quite have the interviewing skills, still he was in the ballpark. Today, it's the woke and the dopes. No adult hosts.

I meant Johnathan Winters in his and my hometown of Springfield, Ohio when he was in his eighths, I was a waitress at Perkins restaurant and he was hilarious and such a good time. I will never forget him and I have had his autograph ever since. Rip and hope to see you and all your stories you left here with me

In his day he had the informal reputation as the funniest man in America. Don Rickles is the guy I most often re-watch on youtube, but seeing Winters again rather cements the reputation. Other greats have flat spots where they have to transition onto something else and make a graceful recovery, which they always do. JW didn't need that skill. Winters had the knack of making even a non-starter seem funny, and on the other hand if he talks of taping a cat to a tree as though it was the most natural thing in the world, he threatens to have even the SPCA rolling in the aisles.

God what a story teller lol no one does it like johnathon miss him rip.

I just heard the best advice of my life (I'm 70) - "If you don't have anything to do, do it anyway. "

I was a fellow Marine ('68-'70) & my favorite uncle was as well. In fact because of the impression my uncle made on me when he was home on leave, I enlisted when the opportunity came to emulate him. Regardless, my uncle Dan & I were bonded by our mutual fascination w/Johnathon Winters. Our dual appreciation of him would leave us in stitches when together, we enjoyed his antics on TV.

This guy was incredibly funny. So dry. Intelligent humor at its finest.

Jonathan Winters had to be full of something to come up with all of that, seriously funny stuff, in any turn of a conversation. I wish I had half of that capacity. You could see his mind working, behind the facial expressions. He was truly one of a kind. He and Robin Williams, together, Indescribable.

Interesting how similar they are in age. In reality, Johnny Carson was only 19 days older than Jonathan Winters. They were both born in the fall of 1925. Winters outlived Carson by over eight years and died in April 2013 at the age of 87. Johnny lived to be 79.

Hahaha oh Jonathan! What a blessing this man.

August/2021 and I'm laughing my heart out. What an outstanding performance 👏👌 old is gold ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Man they would have been disappointed if they lived in our miserable times!

He was a genuine funny man! His mind was constantly going, like the man who idolized him- Robin Williams.

What a glorious way to start my day. Those were the fun days in Hollywood. Absolutely loved both of these guys.💕

Nobody, nobody could make Carson laugh like Jonathan. Dangerfield ran a close second.

Three great talents, Jonathan, Johnny and Ed.

Quick witted, straight faced, a master of one liners....simply the best...wouldnt have had Robyn Williams without him

true legend john winters ....love him..

I actually remember watching this when it first aired. I was 13 and used to sneak back out of my room to the downstairs den and turn the tv on low. He was my absolute favorite guest, even though I do not own a chicken, errrr I mean even though I was so young I still loved his humor and could appreciate how good he was.

His facial expressions are priceless

My favorite was when Jonathon Winters and Robin Williams were on together. The old generation handing off the torch to the next. Two of the greatest improvisational geniuses ever!

He was especially on fire in this one.

Growing up watching Johnny every night waiting watching all the greats come and go and passed, I always refer to how great they were and feel sorry for the younger generations that can't appreciate incredable talent long live añll the greats

He was one of the most talented comedians that ever lived.. I loved Jonathan Winters. He still makes me laugh. Brilliant!.

Jenthen is a great comedian. Rest in peace, smile and laughter maker

Robin Williams (on cocaine) was without a doubt, channeling Jonathan Winters. What a comedic gem!

Genius.

The incredible Jonathan Winters. I entered upper division college at San Francisco State College (now a University ---yeehaw) in 1961, and bought a couple of 33 rpm records of him, not knowing who he was at the time. Was I surprised. The man was amazing at that time, and continued to be. God Bless him.

My stomach muscles ache for 2 days every time I watch/listen to a Jonathan Winters creation.

Jonathan Winters Was An Excellent Comedian, And He Was Good At Doing Other Voices Too.
