Thanks for posting this ! it was hilarious ! especially the phone call routine ! According to Dean's producer Greg Garrison, Jonathan Winters was allowed to use his own material on the show, consequently Dean would never know what Winters would say and do during each sketch. Dean's reactions were always spontaneous. Here Dean turns the tables on Winters during the phone call routine !
Theres no doubt that they both enjoyed each others company and its impossible to count the many times over the years that Dean had to cover his face to hide himself from cracking up when in the company of the fabulous J.W. Thank you for posting.
Thank you so much for this video. I have watched Jonathon over and over and never tire of him. He and Dean obviously appreciated each other. I had not seen this clip or at least remembered it, it sets the standard for me.
It's official: Their styles were different, but compatible... Dino could improvise toe-to-toe with Jonny, and most importantly: Each knew how to set up the other for a spike!
I'd love to know if Winters had a basic outline in his head when doing these things or if he was just ad libbing in real time. It's impossible to tell. We do know for sure that NOBODY on the show had any idea what was gonna come out of his mouth and that PROBABLY included Winters. He just kills me and the combo of Dean and WInters was unbeatable. Nothing fancy, just FUNNY! It really says something that good comedy was such a common occurrence when Dean was involved.
They had a general road-map, if you will. For example, in this clip, they would have run over the story-line and Martin would have memorised his funny responses to the fixed bits, such as the hunting by night and the phone conversation with the lady bitten by the dog. But what came out of Jonathan's mouth was totally, both before and after the scripted items, was completely ad-lib; he made it up on the fly. This happened with everything Jonathan did, whether it be on the Dean Martin Show or with another often-seen favourite host, Johnny Carson. Another who had this ability was Tim Conway; the Carol Burnett Show is full of Tim's ad-libbing.
There used to be a sketch on youtube with the 2 of em' where Jonothan was an old old man, ((something Boothcourt) and it was great. I wish i had grabbed it so i could repost it !
Winters was a complete improv genius , you never knew what hed come up with. Robin Williams on the other hand would repeat bits after you watched him long enough.
Exciting to have the assistant to the mayor but he got bitten by a bug. Filling in with Mr. Dean Martin. “That’s pathetic.” “Last year we found a wasp.”Hardelston Straw People.” Calling a shut in. Mrs.Wayne Sockstetter.” This was the Johnathan Winters I remember. Martin Mull was certainly influenced for Fernwood Tonight.
Johnathan Winters with Dean as his guess. Mr.Winters gave Dean a ment golf club and some hay. Dean hunt a 2 legget deer. Mrs. Scoketer got bet by a dog in the face.
I'm pretty sure that Jonathan Winters, Johnny Carson and Dean Martin were running buddies back in their drinking days. What mayhem that must have been...
CLASSIC! Well done.
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING was funnier than the sight of Dean struggling to keep his composure during these sketches with Jonathan.

Dean could give Jonathan a run for his money! "Do you hunt at all?" and they are OFFFF AND RUNNNING, folks! I miss them both, God bless their souls!
This was so funny. Thank you for posting it!
Great !
Glad you enjoyed it.
This is A CLASSIC routine. thanks for sharing this. JW was the greatest.
Jonathan was the KING of ad-lib & Dean loved working with him ! Please Watch this !!! 😜😆😂
I love seeing the both of them especially when he made Dean laugh!..I laughed even harder... Jonathan winter is the all time best comic genius!...
INCREDIBLE HUMOR…THE BEST…LOVE IT❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love watching the replays of Johnathan winters- never be another like him - #1 comedian ever
Dean was the "set up" and Jonathan did the "slam dunk"....always hilarious!
Jerry and many others didn't call Dean the world's greatest straight man for nothing.......
This man is the best in the comedy world...
Toooooooooooooo much! But then, one can never get too much of Dino & Jonathan - both great Ohioans! :)
Jonathan Winters was one of the greatest improvisational comedians who ever lived. When he and Robin Williams got together there was no stopping them!
cannot stand robin williams
@@SuperGuanine His humor is probably too cerebral for a simpleton like you.
Love it
Dean walks out with a smoke... classic Dean

Listened to JW when I was a child and he was on a radio station in Dayton.
Air waves need to be flooded with JW precisely you got me looking..THANKS
RIP JW - Brilliant
Big Alex Connelpark

No one I have seen has come close to his man

I laugh out loud every time I watch this vid. Winters was the best!
To quote Eugene Levy. "Jonathan Winters is a God, to me a comic icon."
Great Clip :)
Love the things Dean did :)
Is the interviewer Jonathan Winters maybe? ;)
Best Wishes

Dean Martin always had a good time when Jonathon was on.

Man, looks like a public access channel😁👍
Lol,,, that's what they were going for,,, he's only seen in a 36 mile radius !!
There used to be a sketch on youtube with the 2 of em' where Jonothan was an old old man, ((something Boothcourt) and it was great.
I wish i had grabbed it so i could repost it !
They liked trying to throw one another off; it kept them both sharp and, well, they just enjoyed being crazy as hell, LOL.

I've heard Winters repeat gags and phrases but he didn't make a habit of it.

Exciting is the right word!
You don't get broadcast an entire 26 mile radius by being boring !!
That kind of humor is not around anymore , sad
Jonathan, is and always master of spontaneous laughter " YOU Don't HAFT HAVE SCRIPT ' just BE THE TRUE SELF THAT YOU are and it will all come present.
I miss him we sure could use John's humer now
When comedy was comedy 👍
Johnathan Winters with Dean as his guess. Mr.Winters gave Dean a ment golf club and some hay. Dean hunt a 2 legget deer. Mrs. Scoketer got bet by a dog in the face.
Classic comedy.
He was to funny
I'm pretty sure that Jonathan Winters, Johnny Carson and Dean Martin were running buddies back in their drinking days. What mayhem that must have been...
Sorry for the miss spell😂

36 mile radius
I love oddball stuff like that and so did Dean.
