- Brilliant appearance by Jonathan Winters on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. I had recorded this when it first aired and must have watched the VHS a 1000 times. Thinking this is 1988 as he's promoting Moon over Parador. The greatest of all time.

God, I love this guy. A great storyteller. The funniest man to have walked the planet. IMHO
Robin William's idolized him as his mentor. Everytime he spoke about Winters, it should how he respected him as a comedic genius ! Both missed but never forgotten for their impeccable adlib timing.
You can always tell which guests Johnny enjoyed the most.......
Yes Johnny lights up when Johnathan comes on stage
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.
That's awesome 🎉
Awesome 🎉
Had did that come about?
Jonathan Winters made Johnny Cason laugh harder then any other comedian he had on his show.
Man this guy’s where a total class act of comedy!👋😂👍rip🙏 Jonathan winters, Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon!
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.
Winters will always be my favorite comedian.
Jonathan Winters and Robin Williams were Zen Masters of Improvisation.
Williams’ idol and mentor was Winters
I was watching this show in California the year I got out of the Marine Corps, Semper Fi Jonathan
Love Jonathan Winters, and speaking of Marines we Got a great story from Dan Lauria on how sinatra couldnt remember names so he gave eveyone a nickname and his was Jar head
Thank you for your service Sir
😅
There is a lot of truth in his humor.
I’m glad you said that. You’re right.
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
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.
Two icons that will not be replaced
Always have LOVED Jonathan Winters
J Winters was a absolute riot…. He was so quick with humor I would of loved to gone out and had a couple beers with him.. Totally hilarious man
"I reached in and enlarged him....." - I literally cried with laughter for 15 minutes - gold
Ditto on that... I needed this
Jonathan Winters Comedy genius 💙
Jonathan Winters is the best comedian when I was young kid.
OMG, he had such a quick wit. He was my favorite comedian growing up. What a genius. God bless him.❤️
He was my favorite growing up and still is to this day. His speed and inventiveness remain unmatched.
If humor is the first sign of intelligence, I suspect Mr. Winters is a genius.
Improv genius of all time!
one word: HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! He sculpts time with the funniest expressions and jokes. This is art.
I’m just discovering this guy now, how’s that possible his comedic timing is supernatural
You really missed it, but I wish I was your age
I don't believe that Johnny enjoyed any guest more than Jonathan Winters. You can just tell by his body language that he was loving every minute of this.
Jonathan and Don Rickles !! Johnny’s Favorites 😊
I agree!
@@Bill_Me can't forget about Rodney too lol, Johnny wouldn't even say anything too busy laughing lmao
@@cadencressman Absolutely ! Glad I grew up watching those guys……..I feel old now ! 😂✌🏼
@@Bill_Me I'm only 20 and absolutely love all these guys. Comedy really does suck now
The only guest that could captivate your attention for whole interview
This guy was a mad comedy genius!
I have watched about 5 of these and laughed through each one. He has an amazing sense of humor and so quick!
Sick with covid & needed a laugh from the funny man. Remembering the laughes I use 2 get. When lastnight was worth staying up for. Thx 4 the memories
Hope you feel better soon!
@@egrissom Thx hope so too. Laughter is suppose 2 be good 4 the soul. Jonathan's many appearances has helped
Me too.. thouGH no COVID... I believe FIRMLY found that Laughter, and “ companion ships “ healing: interestingly found zoom MEETINGS / AA/NA/ Alanon help a lot.....
@@opera93 GOD has been my main source of JOY. PRAYING that the same GOD that has gotten me through, you will find Him in JESUS
@@gma6296 did you get through it?
Comedic genius beyond comparison! Nobody alive today can even come close
I miss Jonathan, and wish we had comedians like him again.
M8-1.25 I3
There is only one Jonathan Winters. A unique mind. No one like him.
ME TOO!!!!
He was one of the most talented comedians that ever lived.
Oh man this is 24 carat gold. No script, nothing planned, he’s just rolling with the moment....and able to keep a straight face. Jonathan Winters was a priceless, amazingly gifted comedian. So thankful for you tube that I can see this.

"I have a two-acre ranch."
Delivered with a straight face and in a nonchalant tone, even this one line when spoken by Jonathan Winters is funnier than about 85% of what has passed as comedy in the last 20 years.
I miss this man.
I really "MISS" this kind of Late Night TV!!!!
M
You’re spot on!
Johnny was better than all of today’s late night hosts put together and so were his guests! Nothing but class and no politically motivated theatrics!

He is brilliant so genuinely funny for me the best ever impeccable timing with amazing ad-lib ability sadly missed
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.
God what a story teller lol no one does it like johnathon miss him rip.
"You know when you make your kind of money, you don't lose your hair." Classic! This man still lifts people's spirits with his comedic genius.
Well Stated, in addition to being totally factual!!
😢🎉🎉
🎉🎉😢😮😮😊😊
😢🎉
Jonathan....you are the best......
Mr Jonathan Winters was a comedic genius ,along with Don Rickles and Jackie Mason three of my favorite comedians !!
Winters was the absolute master of implausible absurdity. A comedic genius.
"implausible absurdity?" ...Never heard of that category.
@@yankee2666 9
Not really
His humor is so absurd that it is implausible !
That’s his humor
His statements are so implausible that it’s HILARIOUS!!!!!!🎉😂😇
I just heard the best advice of my life (I'm 70) - "If you don't have anything to do, do it anyway. "
This guy was incredibly funny. So dry. Intelligent humor at its finest.
Johnathan Winters was a brilliant spirit and Carson was pretty special ..all is good ..God bless
Two of the best. I’m glad I lived throughout these times .
J.W. was--is--my favorite comedian. I don't believe anyone could touch him for his far-out imagination, impeccable timing and cast of crazy characters and voices. He was God's gift to us all.
He was great in it’s a mad mad mad mad world
Just the best comedian ever so talented and funny and I suspect a lovely person. Thank you Johnathan for all those lovely memories we can watch again.
He was so quick. A real genius.
God he was the best. So quick.
Will always love ❤️ this guy . Jonathan Winters had a mind that went 100 miles per minute 😳
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
One of the half dozen or so true comic geniuses of all-time. His expanse and level of talent both in creativity and performing made him literally incomparable.
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.
Good ole days. Lots
Of laughter.on tv.
Liked johnnys show.
One of the funniest men that ever lived. Even Robin Williams respected him so much!!
who cares what robin williams thought?
@@rjp801 most people in comedy
@@rjp801 be nice troll
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!
Quick witted, straight faced, a master of one liners....simply the best...wouldnt have had Robyn Williams without him
What a glorious way to start my day. Those were the fun days in Hollywood. Absolutely loved both of these guys.💕
Jonathan Winters Was An Excellent Comedian, And He Was Good At Doing Other Voices Too.
Always loved watching hilarious Jonathan Winters. You can tell, Johnny Carson enjoyed having him as a guest.

,@@rojasvalero9774 'Thru my Driver side rear view mirror driving N on Vine St in Hollywood in '89, I caught Jonathan Winters walking out of an office building & to this moment in early Nov 2022 was an Indelible Life moment I'll not forget.
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT THIS MAN I COULD LISTEN TO HIM FOR HOURS THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ONE EVEN CLOSE TO THIS GUY....ITS A SHAME HES GONE ;GUYS LIKE THAT SHOULD LIVE FOREVER
I watch his clips endlessly..thought I was crazy...glad others see it my way THE BEST!
Robin Williams is so, so close... or, was. I'm still in denial about that one.
Johnathan has more class, taste and intelligence in his fingernail clippings than most of the others....
⁰
OH HOW I AGREE WITH YOU!!!!!
He was a genuine funny man! His mind was constantly going, like the man who idolized him- Robin Williams.
Nobody, nobody could make Carson laugh like Jonathan. Dangerfield ran a close second.
OMG....THE FUNNIEST! Absolutely the funniest man!
Ditto on that
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.
Jenthen is a great comedian. Rest in peace, smile and laughter maker
Thank you for posting this. He is hysterical. To me his comedy is Rated G, but full-on Human Condition. Everything we grew up with in our own lives, but have never mentioned.
I loved Jonathan Winters. He still makes me laugh. Brilliant!
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!
His facial expressions are priceless
Hahaha oh Jonathan! What a blessing this man.
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.
He was one of the most talented comedians that ever lived.. I loved Jonathan Winters. He still makes me laugh. Brilliant!.
Robin Williams (on cocaine) was without a doubt, channeling Jonathan Winters. What a comedic gem!
My stomach muscles ache for 2 days every time I watch/listen to a Jonathan Winters creation.
Omgawd! I miss him SO MUCH!!! 💚
Jonathan Winters was so funny. I had the opportunity to attend one of his shows many moons ago. I cried…he was sooooo hysterical. He did Maude Frickert. He was a sight to behold 😂🤣
I was in an LA supermarket decades ago & there was a good size Senior woman in the back of me who looked identical to Winter's Maude Frickert character & I wanted to say something in 'Winter's 'Frickert voice but held My tongue
Oh, how I disagree!! This man is head and heels above any living or dead comedian...period! No one can touch that lightning -speed comic genius of a mind...God I miss him...and Johnny.
You and me both, Bruce... no one can get near this Man... his humor is still out there healing the Universe.
Wow. I couldn't agree with you more. Great way you described him!!!
What I like about Jonathan over Robin Williams is his pace. He off the wall, just not bouncing off the wall as Robin so often was.
Three great talents, Jonathan, Johnny and Ed.
He got out of the kitchen to the other acre... F*KING GENIUS!!!
true legend john winters ....love him..
He was especially on fire in this one.
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.
He was a gift, and I was thrilled to have been a recipient of his unmatched talent.
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.
Jonathan Winters and Robin Williams on Mork n Mindy was funny as hell , it was like watching 2 State Hospital escapees trying to see how much they could make each other laugh, My side use to hurt from laughing so hard , Those 2 together eas Priceless 🤣
My favorite was still Winters on Scooby Doo, classic love some of the great stories of Comedy Legends thats what we are all about
Love every minute of it. He spews so many gems. 3 Great legends.
I always love JW. Any and every show he was on I was sure to watch. Hilarious man.
Gosh i forgot how funny he was. They just don’t have great comedians like this anymore!!!
Amen Margaret! Had the pleasure of spending a bite of time with him. A lifetime memory.
Please do tell us about it!
These two together were the best comic show that's ever been, Johny knew how to keep the brilliance coming.
Genius.
A great guest.
I'd've loved to have had these guys for neighbors.Maybe on the other side/RIP Jonathan and Johnny
Robin Williams, Jonathan Winters and Johnny Carson equals G.O.A.T.S
He sure was one of the best
Love You Too! J.Carson!!
One of the funniest scenes I ever saw in a film was when I was 4 years old and Jonathan took apart that gas station in “It’s A Mad, Mad,Mad,Mad World” if you get a chance watch that scene!
Where he destroyed the gas station. I just watched that movie recently.
The two funniest guys to ever sit in that chair were Jonathan and Rickles. Completely different styles of comedy.
And Dangerfield , the top 3 in my book!
What a central character ! he made it easy for everyone too spin off his retorech
I miss the day when the tonight show would have guests on just to talk and not push something.
When he was 'on', he was really 'on'. I'm still looking for an appearance on this show from the early 70s. He was especially hilarious. We had relatives over at the time and were all tearing up from laughing so hard.
There’s one on utoob from 1974 and Robin Williams was also a guest…good one.
