Jonathan Winters Carson Tonight Show 1974

[@kathleenmckeithen118]

Born in 1948, I have watched Jonathan Winters perform on television most of my life and love him so much. It is wonderful to be able to look back on 75 years of being entertained by really talented people - until recent times, that is.

[@cynthiasmith4130]

Jonathan Winters is the best comedian ever!!! I love Johnny Carson!! The best late night host ever!!! Miss all of the greats!!!! 😂😂😂😂.... ❤❤❤❤....

[@optitom9033]

I owned a restaurant in old Town Pasadena back in the late 70s and Jonny and his wife came in often, autographed a wall for us, great guy

[@julienielsen3746]

I'm watching the 70s TV show "Family" for the first time. Never watched a show that was in Pasadena.

[@kathleenmckeithen118]

Wow! What a treat!

[@Nosdos]

I’m English but I could listen to Jonathon Winters for hours,a very funny Man.

[@richardrogers5604]

Johnny Carson without question was and will always be the benchmark for a talk show host.and comedian!! His blank looks at the perfect time and the quick come backs were iconic!!!

[@frank61ism]

You can tell they really like each other. Miss them both.

[@talister106]

Johnny enjoyed him as much as us and am grateful that these moments are saved for all time. Thanks!

[@edhanks4209]

[@user-fy3kd9qf2m]

He could imitate so many folks in many hilarious sounding voices. I also had the pleasure of watching this guy with my pop. Great laughs and always entertaining in a good clean way.

[@garywallenphd885]

Why are you yelling. 🙄

[@brianmorger2174]

I m an artist who Jonathan commissioned art work from . I d finish it and deliver it and we'd talk for a couple hours about art. He loved painting and paintings as well Native Americans portrayed in art.

I'm doing the 2020 Hunker dance. Currently I'm healthy. I have a house full of food and TP and enough Seagram's to float a battleship. I'm binge watching Carson. Johnathan Winters and a few drinks will help me get through this. I'm still here and doing well. Thank you Lord and God bless everyone at this most trying time.

Update?

[@UncleEarl97]

Watching some of these this early morning on the West Coast, hunkering down at home during the Coronavirus situation, i just kept thinking I wish someone like this lived next door to me. What a marvelous time we would have had telling stories and cracking up over clever lines here and there. I bet he was a wonderful man to have as a friend. Good times to be sure. Thanks for posting this.

[@barbarakaminski1695]

You can tell there's a lot of respect from his peers.
Such a favorite.

[@martinleavitt6094]

Those greats from the past,they were 2nd to none!!.. Those folks stand the test of time..👌..i long to go back to those wonderful days ....

[@mecongberlin]

Yes! They really do stand the test of time. Nobody will watch Colbert or the other nonsense 50 years from now. But Johnny and many of his fantastic guests you can watch and re-watch every now and then. Legends, all of them.

[@packratbuggs6853]

There will never be another of both of them. What great talents , both of them. We loved them.

[@almagore1]

Johnathan Winters is a comedic genius of the highest order!

[@kevinjudy2459]

I love all the Greats, Winters is the one I watch over and over##

Jonathan....anytime can make ya laugh....when he gets going and cracks Johnny up is the best. So many things, his characters, facial expressions, how he says something, the eyeroll....just too funny!!!

[@hughcorston9645]

Bright, witty and unpredictable. Sweet and always makes you wondering, "What's next?" Wish we had more of his ilk today!!

[@harrymills2770]

I remember reading about Winters struggling with depression. It's good to hear him talking about taking his grown son fishing. I hope that they kept a good relationship going.

[@fredphares901]

.I no

[@daveconleyportfolio5192]

He just passes a little time with Johnny, Ed and the audience like a favorite funny uncle. No pressure to perform. It's nice seeing Jonathan Winters so relaxed, because you get the feeling that it was a needed break from some very dark times.

[@m.e.d.7997]

Total opposite of Rickles. And Jonathan never insulted.

[@thegameshowguy1]

+Bill M Ed as in Ed McMahon. The show's announcer.

[@bme7491]

never heard of him.

[@thegameshowguy1]

You are kidding me, right? Ed McMahon has basically been the announcer for "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" ever since its first airing on October 1, 1962 to Johnny's last show on May 22, 1992. That's three decades and you've never heard of him? I hope you're being sarcastic by saying that.

[@martinleavitt6094]

I tip my cap,to those all time greats from yesteryear!!..they unleashed lots of good time laughs,for all of us to enjoy!!...thanks for the cherished memories!!⌛

[@twohamburgers]

I could literally watch hours of Jonathan just holding up his paintings on screen and delivering the titles. Of course he was a comic genius, but the combination of that part of his improv talent combined with his artistic skill is simply incomparable, well, VERY hard to compare to, to me. I used to study abstract and surrealist art and he never came up at a class session. It was a friend who had one of his published books of his paintings and I looked at them and fell into a trance of just surreal bliss while bursting out laughing. There are others, but there is no other.

[@Iamrhythmrogue]

Jonathan Winters is a man for all seasons. Such a good sport.
And always funny, amazing!

[@jakre10]

Always loved Jonathan Winters.

[@vanislefan]

Johnny was the best host and interviewer.. brought out the best in his guests. Laughed easily and meant it.

[@cwpo1973]

Well, he needed a good guest, but when he had respect for and rapport with his guests the way he did with, say, Winters or Dangerfield or Rickles, then he was at his best.

[@SuburbanDon]

@@cwpo1973 I think Johnny was good with almost all guests.

[@QuadMochaMatti]

Growing up during the Great Depression and World War II would likely do a lot to accelerate the aging process, no matter how good of health you may have had, otherwise. My father was born roughly six months after the Depression began, and my mother was born in what was perhaps the worst year of the Depression. Both went through a lot during their lives, and are hopefully in a far better place now, than the one that we have to live in, here in 2020.

[@richardbrown1189]

Great to see such genuine warmth between those two and listening to what each other had to say. Unlike so many of today's hosts who have to make the whole show about themselves.
