"All I know is I'm supposed to be a bartender". I think that sums up a lot of Dean's skits. I don't think he rehearsed too much if at all. He always had a great show.
There's a Twilight Zone episode where he does a serious role, as a pool shark from the afterlife. And he's really excellent. The guy could do it all. But he had some really dark days....that brain could never shut off.
Master of character improvisation, Johnathon Winters was in a class by himself. Always fresh, novel, and funny, I remember him from the days of black and white TV when he would be a guest comedian on a show and just tell a funny story, replete with the noises of a window closing or some other type of noise as part of his routine. As a kid, I was always fascinated by his humor and miss his talent very much.
I remember growing up when Jonathan was on The Dean Martin Show, and our whole family, parents and 5 kids, would gather in the living room and blow the roof off we would laugh so loud. When you consider that he is making this material up on the fly it is nothing short of amazing. Dean Martin, to his credit, maintains his composure fairly well, but his breaking up was part of what we enjoyed about their interplay in the various skits. I'll bet the outtakes are priceless...
As a kid I would use my little tape recorder to record the show at night and then listen to it all week. That And the Jonathan winters show. Way back then I knew this gentleman was the funniest guy I had ever heard. Still cracks me up after all these years
Amazing how I'd rather watch something that aired before I was born because of the garbage and time slot fillers of today.

Dean is ruggedly handsome. He sure is funny. Winter's on the other hand is a comedic genius. Bar none.
I'm out of here
When you're as good as Don Rickles and Johnathan Winters, you don't need no stinking script.
Always handsome, Mr. Martin seems especially strikingly handsome in this clip.
Whenever we heard the announcement of Jonathan on the television, my mother and I ran to it to watch. She loved him, Dean, and Rip Torn.
When Johnathan winters show up . This will always be comic gold
Somebody has to come up with variety shows--- to get back what we miss
My favorite United States Marine! Jonathan was the real deal. When he spoke in some interviews, you could tell he was very smart. RIP Jon...
Dean looks stunning here!! ❤️❤️

Genius. No script. Such fun to watch them both. No one come close to them.

When Robin Williams worships someone, you know he’s a genius
What an unbelievable talent Jonathan was! He graced the world with his genius for improvisational comedy! RIP Jonathan.
Jonathan Winters the best comedian of all time.
That was awesome, no script just quick minds. Dean didn’t have a clue to what was coming up next. Improv at its best.
