I’m an 80s kid, just been introduced to Jonathan Winters and it’s been a superior treat. Rarely if ever have I seen anyone that can match his level of wit. I’m truly amazed. On point impressions of anyone.....on the spot. A story about anything and no vulgarity at all and he’ll have you needing oxygen. Awesome talent, would have loved to have met him in person.
You are correct. Never missed an episode of Carson when he was on. In 1943, at age 17, he joined the USMC. He served in the Pacific on the battleship Wisconsin, in the Marine Detachment on the assault aircraft carrier Bon Homme Richard as an anti-aircraft gunner during the battle for Okinawa, and in the mainland Japan invasion force off the coast of Japan in 1945. He also was in the occupation force at Yokosuka. Jonathan Winters, hands down, IMO, was one of the most witty on the spot improvisational and influential and inspiring comedians off all time. We have been deprived of his unparalleled style of humor since he passed at the age 87 of natural causes on April 11, 2013. He inspired Robin Williams, who made it abundantly clear publicly that Jonathan was his mentor and comedic hero. And, early on, he became one of Johnny Carson's closest friends, having already been on the Tonight Show with original host Jack Paar, for whom Jonathan was a favorite, regularly from 1957 to 1962. Once, Winters went so far as to impersonate then President John Kennedy on the telephone as a prank on Paar. After Carson was bestowed Paar's mantle, Winters became a regular from '57 to '92 when Carson retired. Winters' hysterical roast of Carson: www.dailymotion.com/video/x2lug34 US Marines drill to Winter's commands, aaaannnnd, those of four civilians on Gary Moore's "I've Got A Secret: ruclips.net/video/CYwRGd0s-5c/видео.html On February 8, 1960, Winters received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 1973, he received the Golden Plate Award of the American Academy of Achievement. In 1991, he won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for playing Gunny Davis in the short-lived sitcom Davis Rules. In 1999, he was the 2nd recipient of the prestigious Kennedy Center's Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. In 2008, he was presented the Pioneer TV Land Award by Robin Williams. During his career, he received 11 Grammy nominations, including eight for Best Comedy Album. From these nominations, he won the Grammy Award for Best Album for Children for his contribution to an adaptation of The Little Prince in 1975, and the Grammy Award for Best Spoken Comedy Album for Crank(y) Calls in 1996.

Innocence; but nobody's fool. Roasting; but not before you first know/appreciate who and what you are talking about. Notice Wimters's hilarious but 100% sympathetic, informed, handling of the French, Dutch, Germans, and Brazilians.
Thanks RUclips for these wonderful clips of Johnathan winters, johnny carson, don rickles, dean martin, etc. It's wonderful to relive those moments and I really miss them.
I can’t believe how funny this guy was...I was born in 1993... John Carson, winters and robin Williams together was the peak of late night shows so far. The conversation is electric.
Never will there be a match for him. Even made Johnny laugh. He could imitate anything, and do any accent. Miss both of them. I worked many 3-11 shifts and watched Johnny when I got home.
I used to be a security guard at Bates Beach when I was in Law School and Jonathan Winters would come visit a friend in his old station wagon/ He had hundreds of old papers and maps in the front seat. He was the epitome of a world class comedian/ I am sure he is making GOD laugh as I watch this video.!
I remember it was always enough for me to look at him entering a studio and immediately have a smile on my face. He was one of the top five of my favorite comedians and still is. He was a true one man show!
I could watch this guy for hours he is brilliant....we need more talent like him......and we need johnny back to get the best out of people like this.....he is one of a kind
You can't put Don Rickles in the same class as Jonathan Winters. Or any stand up comedian. Winters ad-libs every single one of his lines. No script written for him. All his own. It's very different than other comedians.
@@paulhomsy2751 , no one loved and admired Winters more than I. If you want to scream with laughter, and be in a state of wonder at a man's comic genius at the same time, watch the video on RUclips entitled, "Spring," with Winters and Jack Paar, also, "The Stick." But I do maintain that Groucho Marx, though unlike Winters he played only the one character, was as great a genius as Winters.
He was great everywhere but I liked watching him on the Tonight Show because, as far as I can tell, he broke Johnny Carson up to uncontrollable levels at least once whenever he was on. He did a good job on the rest of us as well.
In 1977, Jonathan Winters sat down right in front of me @USMC chow hall, MCRD San Diego, he was kind, polite, and engaging. I unfortunately was not allowed to hardly communicate, but I was always his fan, and now fellow Marine Veteran. Rest In Peace 🇺🇸
the best ever ad lib , spontaneous comedian ever...Robin Williams a close 2nd or maybe a tie...i wish Robin was still around to entertain us for all those years Jonathan did...when i was in 8th grade around 70 years ago my closest friend, who was funny, would get in front of class and 'do Jonathan Winters' routines and i'd be envious because i was 'more of a comic'...he had memorized Winters routines...i drove cab in Toledo Ohio and picked up a guy passenger who shared a room with Jonathan for a spell in college...the passenger said 'he's just like that for real' all the time...
He played a serious role, as the ghost of a pool hustler, in The Twilight Zone. Jack Clugman was trying to save his soul by beating Jonathan's character at a game of pool. Great performance.
Keith Purdue I think he did manage to think really fast on his feet and his mind simply worked like that; the stuff he’d riff on which could be anything.
That is truly a sad thing if it's true. I miss honest humor. I miss laughing at myself through someone else's voice. I tie no class, no race, no gender to good humor. Mr. Winters (among so many before him) had that good natured heart...that connection to the SOUL that made even the most stoic laugh. I dearly miss that...I truly hope that today's millennials can turn back the clock and actually see humor for what is is, what it is meant to do...make you laugh. God Bless you all, Thank you Johnny!
True, though our sense of human was taken it was not lost. The masters of our society have moved to the next chapter for Ameirca. All I will say is Marxism is alive and well in Hollywood/MSM and Joe McCarthy was correct (you can always tell the heroes in history, they are the ones we have been taught to demonize). Divide and conquer.
@@tomkelly4336 Not that I need to justify to the likes of you, since you can't seem to read the original post: "this would never work in today's culture", hate having to fill in the blanks when simply thinking answers such questions.
@@johnkennedy8682 very true you do not have to justify anything to me. However to my original question regarding your post and Mr.Winters. Lastly Joe McCarthy and Roy Cohn were part of a time in the history of this country that all of us should rightly be ashamed of. At this most holy of seasons I wish you well. T
@@tomkelly4336 Sorry, but I have a extremely different understanding of reality than you, at least as far as Joe McCarthy is concerned. Roy Cohn, Trump's mentor was a gangster criminal who was assigned to McCarthy to steer him away from the Marxist propaganda machine Hollywood was and is now even more (are you totally unaware of the history of the Frankfurt School and its influence in Ameirca?). Maybe you are all starry eyed about Hollywood, but that view is not only devoid of reality, but very dangerous, it allows propagandists to run roughshod over American society. Look back at history, time and time against the true propaganda nature of Hollywood has been exposed (how many times has the CIA, Pentagon, Coke Cola, Philip Morris... been seen conspiring to make movies that push a particular agenda), but quickly pushed down the memory hole by a compliant media. Perhaps you are unaware of the tribal nature of Hollywood, as it was in the beginning and has only gotten worse. Hollywood was founded by Marxists, and that subversive ideology has persevered ever since. Hollywood is about as anti Christian as an industry can get. I am no "born again", but it does not take a rocket scientist to see how often Christians or the Christian symbols are cast in a very poor light (I dare say you would never see Hollywood cast the "Star of David" in such a light, NEVER). Hollywood has always been subversive pushing ideas like smoking, consumerism and jingoism, but the veneer is coming off and now they are down right evil. I officially ended my household's Hollywood movie watching after we sat down to watch a "horror movie" called Emelie. In the movie a babysitter is planning to kidnap one of the children she is babysitting. Before she does her kidnapping, she finds a video tape of the parents of the children she is watching of the parents having sex, then shows the video to their children, then later that same night of babysitting, she has the children watch as she feeds the hamster of the little girl she is babysitting to the snake of the little boy, the girl's brother, as the children watch...We were done with satanic Hollywood after that. That type of cruelty is totally unnecessary to telling a story, and can be found all too often in ways both obvious and subtle in movies today. Historically the best horror films were simply scary, not purely demonic as now. You may say that is isolated, it is certainly not. Hollywood is all about pushing emotional disease, fear and a sense of things are out of control, isolation (the purge comes to mind). Try to find a positive white male character in Hollywood, TV or movies, they don't exist, in the name of "equality", now white males are the villains, especially if they are blond. Again, you may not see that, but that does not mean it is not there. Hollywood is vehemently anti Christian, anti small town, and incredibly insular in who it allows to work there or make movies. Nothing I say is the least bit controversial in that it is all posteriori knowledge obtained from watching most any movie today, where violence against white men is glorified, yet shunned against everyone else (outside of Muslims, who are also vilified, God forbid you are a German Muslim). But the point is Jonathan Winters would never be on/in TV/Movies today, the only white males allowed are either broken, overtly homosexual, transgender, or self-hating (to be clear, I am very much for gay rights, but Hollywood exploits gays, they use their rights as a wedge issue, and if things go south and people blame gays, where will Hollywood be, in the back of the mob yelling "stone him").
Robin WIlliams, Jonathan Winters and Don Rickles had it all, but they were all brilliantly backed up by Carson's freedom and talent tolerance. Truly, the best of times.
J Winters, Don Rickles, Rodney Dangerfield, Johnny Carson class acts, there is nothing like it these days, so sad they will be missed forever. Thanks for sharing these clips.
It's wonderful that we can still enjoy (and indeed forever, one hopes) the high comic talents of the great Carson and guests like Winters, Rickles and Dangerfield, whose absurdist humour will never date.
Jonathan Winters was a funny comedian. Pure real stuff grew up watching him my daddy and Jonathan Winters looked like twins....My dad be out in public and People. thought he was Jonathan Winters. My dad and and I would watch Jonathan Winters all the time my dad would bust up laughing , laughing so hard almost choking on laughter. What a great soul the world lost in 1983 RIP MR JONATHAN WINTERS
Whoever posted this clip, thank you thank you thank you!! It was on for a while, then removed for probably 4 or 5 years, and now I find it back. This is Jonathan Winters at his finest. His imitations of English, French and German tourists is some of the funniest stuff he ever did.
I agree. What most don't realize is that there is no "jab" to his humor...no "punch line" as it were.....he made fun of himself first and foremost...he played off what was fed to him. Millennial youth must embrace this type of self depricating humour. Understand that funny truly is funny.....you don't have to bash someone to make someone laugh. I miss Johnny...I yearn for our comedians gone. I'm hopeful for the future, just please, drop all the PC stuff..not everything has a deeper meaning, sometimes funny is meant to be funny...and that's all. :) God Bless
Mr Winters had the greatest mine, how he could make a story so real to life , I consider myself luckey that I lived in the time of Mr Winters ,their won't be another .
well as of today thereare 34 thumbs downs for mr winters...the people that did that are sad excuse for humanity as he truly is a comedic genius.........we will all miss him
His French accent was spot on and all the other bits he does, Even his biggest fan and follower Robin Williams could not match Jonathan Winters quick wit. (course Robin was using "heavy meds" so he was a little bit crazier and sudden off the wall zany seemingly uncontrolled outbursts or zingers)
Jonathan Winters truly was a comedic genius. As soon as she sits down he just fires away with accents, observational humor and various characters that he makes up on the spot. And all that without being dirty and vulgar.
Many years ago, I had the great good fortune to be on an airliner with Jonathan Winters, and he had the entire back of the plane cracked up for most of the flight. A true comic genius.
If he was on the back of plane today cracking jokes, he would be asked to get off by the PC police bunch. Plane travel stopped being fun when they pulled hard booze and loud laughter off the menu.
! year late, but I agree. So many politically "incorrect" comedians gone too soon. I wish Today's Snowflakes could appreciate all of them in their hayday for what they were....Funny.
I immensely enjoy watching these clips. Growing up in Austria there was nothing comparable on TV. We only had two channels. One of them did not start broadcasting before 5pm.
People think comedians today that stand up there and do an hour of memorized routine is hysterical. Extemporaneous humor is incredibly difficult. Jonathan Winters, Richard Pryor, Robin Williams...these guys were genius!
I’m an 80s kid, just been introduced to Jonathan Winters and it’s been a superior treat. Rarely if ever have I seen anyone that can match his level of wit. I’m truly amazed. On point impressions of anyone.....on the spot. A story about anything and no vulgarity at all and he’ll have you needing oxygen. Awesome talent, would have loved to have met him in person.

@@twolaneasphalt4459that was so freaking awesome that you know all this info!
Very true
Johnny Carson made you feel right at home with anyone he had as guests. He was and always be the KING of Late night. R.I.P. 👍
Time spent with Jonathan Winters is never wasted - no matter the era.
How true. Robin Williams went out of his way to pay his debt to Winters. You may recall that Williams had Winters play a character on Mork and Mindy.
True true
I've probably watched this video 15 times! Love it every time!
So sad these guys aren’t around anymore. The world needs a Johnny Carson and Johnathan Winters now more than ever.
Innocence is lost. Jonathan can bring endless joy to my heart, because he was a genuine, humble man. I love how Johnny cracks up at Jonathan's humor.
No suite no tie just blue jean pants and coat. Down to earth and funny as hell
Innocence; but nobody's fool.

Many people don’t know but he was a gifted artist. RIP

Love Winters! The best comedic story teller that ever lived. RIP
I love To watch Jonathan Winters. He was one of the BEST !!!
He is also a GREAT actor
He and Robin Williams were great friends. No wonder. Neither could stop being funny for a second.
He was so fun to watch & listen to him do stuff just like this. So funny & clean language , a rare trait today .
Pure Class!! Love Johnny Carson and his superb comedy Guests!!!
My father would cry tears laughing at Jonathan Winters. What a great, warm and talented comedien.
From one old Marine to another, Ed McMahan and Jonathon Winters always gave snappy salutes to esch other.
I can’t believe how funny this guy was...I was born in 1993... John Carson, winters and robin Williams together was the peak of late night shows so far. The conversation is electric.
What an awesome man. He was the best a man can be,At his profession. Maybe the last best entertainer of all time. Thanks JOHNATHAN WINTERS .
Robin Williams was awestruck by Mr Winters---and so am I. One of the greatest comedians EVER.
I ACTUALLY CRIED WHEN I FOUND OUT TODAY (1/28/2021) HOW MR. WINTERS DIED, AND AGAIN WHILE TYPING THIS, AS DID MR. WILLIAMS, SOOO SAD!!
Do you notice they engaged the guest in conversations unlike today? Johnny Carson was a hard act to follow. Sincere. Funny. REAL laughs.
I just got a
Mr. Winters will always be King of comedy. And a real down to Earth good person. He's very missed.
TOTALLY AGREE...NOBODY COULD MATCH JW...NOT EVEN THE GREAT ROBIN W!!
That was awesome. I love Jonathan Winters!
Never will there be a match for him. Even made Johnny laugh. He could imitate anything, and do any accent. Miss both of them. I worked many 3-11 shifts and watched Johnny when I got home.

He was the epitome of a world class comedian/ I am sure he is making GOD laugh as I watch this video.!
The all-time King of the comedic facial expressions. Often imitated, never duplicated.
You can see how much Johnny loves this guy.
I always loved Jonathan Winters when I was young. He was awesome and hilarious
Hello, How are you doing?
What a talented man and so funny. There will never be another. Rest in peace.
I remember it was always enough for me to look at him entering a studio and immediately have a smile on my face. He was one of the top five of my favorite comedians and still is. He was a true one man show!
I remember watching him live as a young boy on this show and my dad would just laugh and laugh. What a delight Mr. Winters was.
Jonathan Winters will always be a treasure.
Love it !! The good ole days bring them back please !!!
Yes please 🙏
I still miss Johnny. I used to sneak in to the living room, sound down super low every night when I was 12 years old to watch the show.
Bee Bop: Me too! 1978, I started tuning in!
I miss Johnny, nothing ever came close to replacing his show. As always Winters was a comic genius. Someone please grab the torch.
,,,Yep.
Love this comedian. A true genius.
Hello Mary, How are you doing?
Unreal it's like watching Robin Williams father, the same face gestures, hand movements etc.I grew up with this guy.There will never be another.

My favorite Jonathan Winters video. Just terrific!!!
Jonathan Winters, my absolute favorite person and comedian...♥️♥️♥️
Watching at work with the SOUND OFF, just the closed captions and cracking my shit up. Jonathan Winters is one of the best comics ever.

Self deprecation is a rare and noble trait.

Yeah, I've seen that episode a couple of times, John W 1711 Stock. Totally dope.
Just watched that recently. Jonathan was excellent and the ending was fantastic.
What an incredible mind!!!! This was all off-the-cuff. No one, nor he, knew what he was going to say. You couldn't write for him.

It's called improvisation. Many comics do it but Jonathan was the master.

Such a much simpler time. You can hear one woman in the audience with a high voice that is just tickled listening to Jonathan. Just wonderful
These days, if an audience member laughs too loud, they get kicked out. You're not supposed to upstage today's egotistic performers.
That is truly a sad thing if it's true. I miss honest humor. I miss laughing at myself through someone else's voice. I tie no class, no race, no gender to good humor.

just a gem glad i discovered him today.
Why would anyone downvote this.....
Robin WIlliams, Jonathan Winters and Don Rickles had it all, but they were all brilliantly backed up by Carson's freedom and talent tolerance. Truly, the best of times.
never thought williams was funny. He acted stupid, not funny. Like Jim Carey.
Jonathan was the greatest comedian!
J Winters, Don Rickles, Rodney Dangerfield, Johnny Carson class acts, there is nothing like it these days, so sad they will be missed forever. Thanks for sharing these clips.
It's wonderful that we can still enjoy (and indeed forever, one hopes) the high comic talents of the great Carson and guests like Winters, Rickles and Dangerfield, whose absurdist humour will never date.
Jonathan Winters was a funny comedian. Pure real stuff grew up watching him my daddy and Jonathan Winters looked like twins....My dad be out in public and People. thought he was Jonathan Winters. My dad and and I would watch Jonathan Winters all the time my dad would bust up laughing , laughing so hard almost choking on laughter. What a great soul the world lost in 1983 RIP MR JONATHAN WINTERS
Hello Gina, How are you doing?
. Why don't you just give up??
I absolutely love these two. Awesome memories 😂❤️
Hello June, How are you doing?
Whoever posted this clip, thank you thank you thank you!!
It was on for a while, then removed for probably 4 or 5 years, and now I find it back. This is Jonathan Winters at his finest. His imitations of English, French and German tourists is some of the funniest stuff he ever did.
I agree. What most don't realize is that there is no "jab" to his humor...no "punch line" as it were.....he made fun of himself first and foremost...he played off what was fed to him. Millennial youth must embrace this type of self depricating humour. Understand that funny truly is funny.....you don't have to bash someone to make someone laugh. I miss Johnny...I yearn for our comedians gone. I'm hopeful for the future, just please, drop all the PC stuff..not everything has a deeper meaning, sometimes funny is meant to be funny...and that's all. :) God Bless
Winters was really fantastic. you can see him in many comedians.
"At any rate" Love this guy!
He's at his best in interviews. He's so Random
The greatest comedian in recorded history!
I look at all the comedians and when I need a fix it's Jonathan Winters, always
I
Mr Winters had the greatest mine, how he could make a story so real to life , I consider myself luckey that I lived in the time of Mr Winters ,their won't be another .
Truly one of the great ad lib comic genius's of all time. Sure he had routines, but he winged it most of the time. It takes nerves of steel.
Oh, how I miss those shows!!!!!
One of my very favorite comedians of all time! (The waving as he passed the institutions almost made me piss my pants!)
brilliant wit. archi, you are doing great service to comic geniuses like mr winters and mr carson
well as of today thereare 34 thumbs downs for mr winters...the people that did that are sad excuse for humanity as he truly is a comedic genius.........we will all miss him
As of today, May 29 2018 there are 79 thumbs down. Some people have a sense of humor, some... only a SENSE.
Comedic genius is the best description. He could adlib as though it was a well rehearsed act. That takes genius!
His French accent was spot on and all the other bits he does, Even his biggest fan and follower Robin Williams could not match Jonathan Winters quick wit. (course Robin was using "heavy meds" so he was a little bit crazier and sudden off the wall zany seemingly uncontrolled outbursts or zingers)
Loved Jonathan winters he was truly a comic and it would be hard to follow in his footsteps.
Just the best! Johnny Winters kept saying "the little girl might be interested in this".😅😂🤣
He's like the uncle you wish you had. I just look at his face and he's got me laughing. He has such a jolly face.
Jonathan Winters truly was a comedic genius. As soon as she sits down he just fires away with accents, observational humor and various characters that he makes up on the spot. And all that without being dirty and vulgar.
He is simply brilliant!!
Many years ago, I had the great good fortune to be on an airliner with Jonathan Winters, and he had the entire back of the plane cracked up for most of the flight. A true comic genius.
If he was on the back of plane today cracking jokes, he would be asked to get off by the PC police bunch. Plane travel stopped being fun when they pulled hard booze and loud laughter off the menu.
Robert Young lucky you!
Wow! What a memory!
I So Envy That...But... LUCKY YOU!
MrUsaer: You sound like a Trump supporter....they are always killjoys.
Jonathan Winters has been my favorite comedian for 47 years !
Amazing talent. There will never be another.
the face!
@ Richard... or Dick Cook... well there was another... Robin Williams
60 Minutes once put them both together and they improved off each other...
! year late, but I agree. So many politically "incorrect" comedians gone too soon. I wish Today's Snowflakes could appreciate all of them in their hayday for what they were....Funny.
Snowflakes? That is the kind of name calling today's comedians thrive on.
I immensely enjoy watching these clips. Growing up in Austria there was nothing comparable on TV. We only had two channels. One of them did not start broadcasting before 5pm.
Jonathan Winters is the best. He is so missed today
This is a real treat to watch
"Dad was off, you know....somewhere...in an open field or settling insurance policies near a creek bank" LOL
Mario Escalante. One of the funniest things i ever heard..
Ha.. so. good.. in an open field wow. I picture in my mind..
Genius!! Gold!!
He was such a talent! RIP Jonathan Winters!
I relate mister.
People think comedians today that stand up there and do an hour of memorized routine is hysterical. Extemporaneous humor is incredibly difficult. Jonathan Winters, Richard Pryor, Robin Williams...these guys were genius!
