More and more people seem to be discovering or re-discovering the brilliant Jonathan Winters after knowing how important he was in Robin William's own career. May the both rest in peace!
As soon as I saw Robin Williams in Mork and Mindy I knew instantly who Robin reminded me and that was Jonathan Winters. I loved them both. RIP Jon and Robin.
What makes this man and his work so loved? Simple, he was FUNNY without having to be VULGER and use the F-word like it was his middle name. He was fresh, unpredictible and could literaly "pull it out of nowhere off the cuff" You could drop this guy into a "white room" and he could make you see, hear, and feel anything his mind came up with. He was pure comedic talent & timeing. And he never let it go to his head, he was grounded & real and it showed. That is why he was so loved by people.
I've got to put this up as a general question. What is it about this man that he is all but universally loved? I have yet to see (although I'm sure they're out there) anyone who dislikes Mr. Winters. My take is his whacky, clean & unpredictable humor which I think we all admit we have (to some extent), whether we can express it or not. More importantly, I think it's his humbleness and sincerity that strikes a chord - you feel he is not bs-ing you. Observations gladly welcome.
JW was an incredible man not only as an actor but as a human being. I totally forgot Jonathan Winters was in Mork & Mindy but I recall watching the show back then and it all came back to me as soon as I saw the reference. I've seen almost everything he's done over the last century and he's one of those few you can say was loved by all. If there was ever anyone to look up to he was it :) He was the definition of a good man.

I think if Jon had lived another few years he would've help Robin out, God Dammit Robin, so many loved you.
Jonathan Winters will always be a comic genius. Rest In Peace "Mearth."
Johnathon is like the cool uncle you just love to pieces.
great comedian and wonderful man
Rest in peace.
Robin and Jonathan. ....;)
Thank you Jonathan, you will be truly missed.
Great guy, great memories of watching him on TV as a kid... and it kills me, because he had a lot of the same mannerisms (and humor) as my own dad.
i love them both, and you KNOW that they have them rolling in the aisles , have fun guys !

Interesting hearing this guy talk.
Truly a master of laughter. I intertainment industry needs more like yo Mr. Winters. I am sure God love's a joke or a laugh now and then.
Jonathan Winters was a 'testant on the April 11, 2013 episode of Celebrity Bucket Kickers.
jonathan winter was hilarious.....
that's HILARIOUS! You need your own show on Comedy Central. No, an HBO special! YES! HBO!
R.I.P
a national treasure
He said "This year". WHAT year?
I think Johanthan probably reminded Robin of his father.
You are so missed.. what else can I say
Not any more, sadly.
Jesus...Now I'm depressed...
Spoke too soon. He just passed away. =/ Ironically, that's the same kind of joke he'd make. :P
Nice
I know where that quote is from. I wonder how many other people do?
Such a wonderfully talented gentleman! Until RW got so foul-mouthed, loved him almost as much! Winters was brilliant!!!!❤️
Mmmmmm--Trying to leave the Big Boy behind
You killed him!
