In this world today, we need more Johnathan Winters and Johnny Carson😊
Jonathan Winters was a national treasure! I started watching him in the early 1960s and I loved this man. No one made me laugh like Winters, and no one could improvise like him.
I forgot how truly great Johnny Carson was. How superbly he gives space to Jonathan Winters creative brilliance.
Johnny was mean off the air
I wouldn't say mean but I read he was high strung and liked sex
It’s not whether you go up and done, but I stopped lying just in case I go up
Johnny would set up the guest and then give them room to shine. He really has no equal.
The bozo's on late night now are a joke.......
There will never be one with such impromptu laughter again, a true master of the art.
Jonathon Winters was the best ever. Will never be another like him.
Jonathan has made me laugh for years. He is one of the true masters of comedy.
impromptu.........then Robin Williams.....
Your username is just perfect 😂
@@louisliu5638 you are so I can do anything to get the best part 〽️〽️〽️〽️
@@louisliu5638 Not by a long shot.
@@louisliu5638 and Red Skelton, Jack Benny.
what a great periode of comedians, Winters, Newhart, Rickles and so on
And totally clean stuff, proving a constant barrage of foul language is no substitute for funny material.
Gosh ,!! I miss this man….and I am English . It is sad we don’t have comedians like him to day….2022
What a soft touch and intuition by Johnny. You can't pull of a set like that without support. And such improvisation skills by Jonathan Winters. It's unimaginable to have a full conversation without error by so many different characters consecutively. Flowing out of the moment is what Robin Williams loved about him and what he ultimately learned to do himself.
What did they say at 2:20?
@@bag2963 "I suppose".
@@nwicconsultants6640 yeah right xdd thanks
Jonathan Winters the MASTER of Improv. He gladly marched to the beat of his own Drum. 😅😁🤣
The master at work. Nobody was better.
One of the BEST humorously extemporaneous and one of my favorite entertainers of all time! Boy we sure don't have 'em like we used to. Miss you Jonathan Winters !!!
oh you can say that again
@@peggygallagher5802 oh thanks for the lovely wishes ok, i feel happy, whats your location
@@andrewharper1953 Just got a new offer. Moving in 2 days out of Missouri.
@@peggygallagher5802 wow am so happy for you, thats where i stay , what a small world you know, are you on whatsapp, would love to know more about you if you dont mind
@@andrewharper1953 I work in the Medical field and in Law Enforcement. Forensic Psychiatry and Hematology/Oncology research are my specialties. My Father was a well known HemeOnc Nuclear Medicine Dr. Knew and worked with Dr. Fauci during the early 70's AIDS epidemic in the US and in other serious research. Fauci was younger than my Father. And you?
He was absolutely brilliant
"WW 2 we hunted constantly. We did see 2 who were destined to be Toyota dealers." Marine in his first life, genius comedian and actor in his second life. What a talent.
Johnny and Jonathan were a couple of the greatest comedians I grew up with.
Hi Anita, how are you doing, hope your having a great time going
These are actual comedians. I can’t stomach what passes for entertainment in our era.
RIP Johnny.
Jim Gaffigan. Great family friendly stand up and he's a fine actor.
This is the Tonight Show which has G rated humor and variety.
@@Mozart1220 😭🫡
@@morongosteve I don't understand. Do you not like Gaffigan?
@@Mozart1220 I do not.
I always loved the guy. What sticks so much in my was, the role he played as the frustrated and accumulating anger in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, world! Especially when he's forced to ride a banged up bike! made me lmao!...
I had lunch with Jonathan winters.
In ventura county. Great guy he was. Just eating a hot dog and cracken jokes.
The more people gathered, the funnier he was. Such a great time I had.
Johnathan Winters is pure genius. He can do it all. My favorite is "It's a Mad Mad Mad World". The scene with him and Ethel Merman in the tow truck was priceless.
I really believe that "It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World!" was the greatest comedy movie ever made. To see Jonathan Winters, Ethel Merman, Syd Ceasar, Milton Berle, Dick Shawn, Terry Thomas, and Phil Silvers in the same movie was priceless. There was so much talent on tap that I think they all encouraged each other and came up with a masterpiece!
@@johnjackson8401Spencer Tracy too
So hilarious!!! His improv is untouchable!!!! 🤣😅😂😅🤣
Johnathan is a legendary entertainer! When entertainment actually entertained instead of propaganda and hate.
Ya, no political message from this guy.
Exactly right and Winters was a genius!
@@beverlyboys73 I DVR him every night and his reruns are refreshing compared to the untalented late night hack's on now!
@@mikeg6666 Amen to that
“propaganda and hate”? What are you watching that has you feeling so offended?
Winters even makes a political joke about senators in this Carson appearance! Come on, folks, don’t be so sensitive.
Johnathan was one of the very best ever. He and Johnny were always super entertaining . Great men and thanks for the memories. No comparison to today's comedy.
Jonny and Red Skelton were my favorites growing up, and still are.
I’ll never forget his manic appearance in It’s A Mad Mad Mad Mad World. One of my very favourite comedies.
That's the movie with all the greats comedies
Trying to leave the Big Boy behind
Amen!
Love that move...Jonathan was great in it... "Taxes... Everybody has to pay taxes.. even business men, who rob and steal and cheat from people every day... even they have to pay taxes!"
This brought back some GREAT memories. Johnny and Jonathan both still live in my heart. Thanks for sharing.☺
Great pair, thanks for passing it along. Johnny Carson always kept the main focus on his guests and did not try to "out do them" as many talk show hosts now do. I miss Carson and his Tonight Show.
Jack Parr was another great one.
The wonderful thing about Johnny Carson was he knew how to listen. Too many hosts want to be the center of attention instead of the guest. It drives me nuts when they continually interrupt. Jonathan Winters is a national treasure of comedy. Why would anyone even think of interrupting him?😊
@@dianemitchell1717 Totally agree! And several times Johnny had Jonathan and Robin Williams on,and just let them go occasionally interjecting a new topic. Was absolutely hilarious.
I love Jonathan Winters. I’m almost 25 and he’s my favorite comedian
You got good taste for a young man.
@@robc.5745 I appreciate it, I’m an old soul all the way
Oh Jeremy, please while we still able to view old clips, look up a lot of the old entertainers and comedians, they were awesome. Johnathon was ever so brilliant and improvising comedy on the spot, he was the master. Yes Jeremy, yesteryear comedy and entertainment was clean and funny. Made us smile and laugh with them. God Bless you.
@@princeadrian9547 I appreciate the comment, I have many favorites 😉
@@robc.5745 Why don't you get a room. 🤣
I actually met Winters years ago when I was just a little boy in the 1950’s. We were visiting my aunt & uncle in Dayton Ohio during New Year’s and he showed up one evening. I didn’t even know who he was until later years when I saw him on the Jack Paar show. He was an amazing talent with his improvisations.
The key to Jonathan Winters' great humor is the "And, uh..."
He wants us to forget that he just said something loony or crazy, and so he pushes the conversation forward in a way that makes us think he was being serious.
And when we catch that "And, uh..." (or just the "Uh...") that's when we laugh!
Thank you for ruining it by explaining how it works.
I wanna go back to these times with these people
But we can't! Make it as good as you can now!
See u there!!!!
The wonderful Jonathan is the best one who presented comedy in the world, what a beautiful laugh
.☝🏽😎
Brings back great memories, Jonathan Winters could always get my WW2 battle hardened dad to laugh, we bonded over laughter ❤
Grew up with both of these icons. Gave me smiles and joy. Thanks.
I miss Johnny Carson so much! He was the best!
Yeas the best ever incomprable
Jonathan Winters on Johnny Carson gets an automatic like. :)
My favorite Jonathan Winters was when he destroyed the gas station in It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. Yup, true master of comedy.
So right. Saw that movie just couple weeks ago.
I met him at a small venue in Calabasas ca. He was very nice. An honor to meet such a legend.
PAUL NICOLOSI: Okay!...We hope that you didn't get hit by lightning or a zebra without a tail on the way to his house...
But wait!...Did you get to meet the woman with the wooden legs?...How fast are those woodpeckers in California?...
Thanks, Paul...
I have always loved seeing Jonathan Winters. He was awesome.
I went to LA to watch the show five times in the 70’s. I saw Mr. Winter, Dean Martin, Joan Rivers and others. I got to watch Seals and Crofts debut their song, Hummingbird. I’d go by the office mid morning and get the tickets and come back in the afternoon. The show actually filmed at 4:00 PM. Great times, wonderful memories.
A few years before he died, Jonathan Winters did a documentary in which he talked about his life and revealed that his parents were failed 1950s entertainers who hated their son's success and ridiculed him. His mother would literally say, "I don't think you're funny." It must have driven them crazy when in the 1960s he was already a success appearing regularly on the Tonight Show and even making movies, such as Mad Mad Mad Mad World where he was one of the major players.
Jonathan Winters was a genius! He'd just come out and preform making everything up as he went. I don't think he ever prepared any of his performances.
As time goes by, his raw talent is all the more remarkable.
Absolutely positively
Boy oh boy, what time hath taken away... the best of the good old days.... The memories still leave us with smiles from Leno, Carson, Parr and Steve Allen's tonight show... from which many great talents did flow.... bringing laughter and relaxation into our lives. USA what a people, what a country!
Jonathan was so amazing ..we wont see his likes again ..God Bless .
Winters is the greatest comedian of all time.
Oh my gosh what memory that brings back! Love the Johnny Carson show and Jonathan Winters was always spot on funny!
when I was 10years old , I first listened to Jonathan on a record player now 77 and he makes me laugh harder . He is a Bloody Genius.
Jonathan was my favorite back in the day, l never missed his show when he came out of the soup can. Funny man. R.I.P.
I'm laughing so hard I'm crying 😅😅😅 How I miss these great guys! SO glad for these videos.
I knew all his albums by heart! My parents would get me to do him at cocktail parties at home.
I've known the name Jonathan Winters pretty much all my life, but I've never really known of the guy other than tangentially. This man is an insane comedic genius. These days, people try to be outrageous with profanity and shock value. Jonathan Winters is straight-out outrageous -- random topic flips leading to stuff that might seem ordinary because of his delivery and the potential normality of what he is saying, but in the context of what has gone before and when you think about it, what he is saying is just bonkers. He is a genius.
One of my favorites. The absolute best at improvising. ❤
It's not just his incomparable improv but his equally incomparable characterizations & impersonasations which is what sets him apart from all other comedians. Winters' expanse of comic talent was & still is unparalleled.
Nothing but the best from both of these guys!
Absolutelylutelyfuckin!
How great it is to live in a time of science, and have this type of time machine!
Johnny Winters is the first guy I used to always think about when I was visiting with my Uncle Doug! Same straight face humor! 😂🤣
The level of comedy genius in his mind was amazing , to be able to do this on the fly is incredible. Never will we see the likes of him again. Same as Rickles and Dangerfield!
Great 👍. Really appreciated the clip. They are smart, witty, funny cool and laid back at the same time. Both of them.
Such a brilliant mind. Unique man, so glad we can watch on TH-cam class act👌
Jonathan Winters was superb in a dramatic role in the original Twilight Zone "A Game of Pool" with the great Jack Klugman.
Great talent.
My favorite episode 😊
He was very scary in that roll. When he gets a serious roll he is very intense.
October, 1961 .
@@susanjohnson9795 ("Role".)
J.w. Was the amazing best. God bless him i bet even god is laughing❤❤❤❤r.i.p. mr
Winters
Jonathan Winters....a true pioneer of comedy.
There was a much earlier Winters segment from the late 60s or early 70s that was absolutely hilarious. My parents along with some relatives were all gathered in the living watching Johnny. I was laying on the floor. Everyone was laughing with tears rolling down our faces. Now that we have the Internet, I have never been able to find that appearance.
I LOVE this memory of yours! One appearance I remember was Winters on The Red Skelton Show. He was given an armful of props and had to make up a story about why he was returning each gift right after Christmas. He was at his extemporaneous best.
Well, he had his own show. I have one of his scripts. Ebay.
Loved them both,and still watch Johnny each night.I really thought Mr.Winters was going to say ,when talking about the lady with no legs getting into the newspaper,"It was a short story".
👋😂👌👍god this was comedy! Fun clean classy comedians! They’re definitely missed! Rip🙏Jonathan Winters , Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon.
Jonathan Winters was the best ! 👌
One of my favorite Carson episodes is with Jonathan Winters and Robin Williams together. They go nuts together an funny as all heck!!
The most talented in his class of comedian, BAR NONE!! Incomparable!
The absolute best two comedians in American history.
I don't think Johnny Carson laughed more than when Jonathan Winters came on...Winters was a true comedian
God,I miss Jonathan Winters,Robin Williams,and George Carlin. Excellent comedians!
My thoughts exactly!
cannot STAND robin williams - he's inauthentic.
I would add Dangerfield and what the hell, let's throw in Marx to that list. I had the privilege of seeing George Carlin in the last years of his life. Something I'll never forget. For the encore, he broke out a binder of dirty jokes and started into them. I'll probably share that experience eventually, but it's going to take some time and space.
He seemed so much younger in person than I was expecting, as he bounced around the stage, enthusiastically laying down the truth! In the last years of his life! I saw George at Clowes Hall in Indianapolis. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life.
That was perhaps the closest I came to seeing someone of Jonathan Winters stature perform live.
This is the guy that *Robin Williams* looked up to just to give people an idea of just how much of a giant Johnny Winters was in the comedy world.
RIP to both him and Robin, who have the angels in stitches. 🙏
both were genius and saw more
Loved it when they got together!
Williams was annoying
@@strattuner Never put Robin Williams in the same league as Jonathan Winters. He couldn't carry Jonathan's lunchbox.
Jonathan Winters was a brilliant improvisational comedian like Robin Williams. Then I found out that he actually mentored Robin Williams early in Robin's career. Jonathan Winters was my favorite comedian during my grade school years as well as during my high school years.
I guess when I was younger I never knew what a genius this man was. He was a one and only. His last interview before his death was so sad for me as I just starting to go thru all his times on Tonight Show videos.
"WW2 we hunted constantly!" Funniest line ever!😂😂😂
Jonathan was a true genius in every way/ funniest man I’ve ever seen. RIP Jonathan.😀❤️🙏
I saw a director's commentary on the famous ensemble cast classic, "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World." The commentators stated that Jonathon Winter's genius was so legendary, that the director and the writers trusted him to improvise. They only loosely outlined the setup of his scene and he did the rest including almost all of his lines. The famous line, "but this is a girl's bike" was so completely unexpected that it caused the crew to lose it with laughter. And for those of you who might be young people and not understand that reference, back in the 60s and prior to any type of fancy racing bikes or mountain bikes, there were only two types of bicycles, girls' and boys' bikes. Sometimes a girl might ride a boy's bike, but a boy would NEVER be caught dead riding a girl's bike. So in this famous scene where Winters' character had to ride a bicycle because he had no car, and the bike was a girl's bike, his line was a laugh out loud remark to the audience.
absolutely perfect! that scene was and will always be the best. cracks me up just thinking about it. his performance was killer in that movie.
@centerice & DOLL HOUSES! I was born in `63 & even going into the 1970`s, there weren`t UNISEX things being used. Winters` PIKE character telling MILTON BERLES` J. FINCH character makes that scene even funnier. Especially Winters` tone of voice.
The Great Johnathan Winters all off the cuff!!✌️🇺🇲
Jonathan Winters, a King toying with a Jester here. Priceless. I miss this comedy.
I stay up and binge watch the JOHNNY CARSON SHOW and laugh my ass off - of course, kids go, "This is funny?"
Don Rickles, Dom DeLuise, etc., et al ?
Heck yeah 😂🤣🤣
He was a genuinely funny man. I got to sit at the Christmas dinner table with him, as he was a guest at my mom's annual party.
Before watching this I was thinking about some trivial problems.Now I can't do anything but smile
I watch his old shows on dvd. I remember watching with my dad as a sprout.😂
if only we had people like him today to make us laugh.....
Of all the numerous Carson and Winters clips this is the most consistently, brilliantly funny.
I loved Jonathan winters. He never broke character by laughing or smiling
True legends....both gentlemen!!
I cried, when I heard that Jonathan Winters had passed on! A Genius!! Robin Williams another Genius recognized that Jonathan Winters was One of a Kind; as was Robin Williams! I can only imagine what those Two would say to each other!
@davidgriego278, There is a video of them both on the Tonight Show. Look for it. Hilarious, absolutely the best.
One of the greats! Jonathon Winters, Red Skelton, Buddy Hacket, Robin Williams. Genuine comedy.
Born in my hometown, Bellbrook, Ohio (Dayton, basically). Paid for the local library, which was a magical world to me. Thanks to this man. Reminds me of my Dad, too. NOTE: not all men from Dayton, Ohio act like this!
Oh Lord if only there was talent like those two , now!
One of the true masters of comedy.
"3600 acres and two cows -- by the time we found 'em, they were skeletons." A Jonathan Winters' throwaway line is funnier than most guy's entire acts.
🤔🤨💭 I will never forget Jonathan as the truck driver 🚛 in Mad, Mad, Mad World. I have been a trucker and could relate to the character He played so well❕ 😄😆😁👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯❗ G-G.
I recently read 'Robin' by Dave Itzkoff, a sensitive and detailed biography of the great Mr Williams. It was clear how much Robin adored this man, he used to sit and watch him on TV with his father - a rare opportunity for them both to bond over laughter.
As an Aussie born in '74 I was never exposed to Jonathan Winters, but as soon as he started talking I felt like I kinda new where he was at, what to expect, because he is so clearly a palpable influence on Robin and others; that storytelling improvisational style coming from random triggers and so well elaborated upon (Jim Carrey also comes to mind).
I'm definitely going to have to go digging for more stuff from this comedic genius.
Jonathan Winters was a great comedian and my dad just laughed so hard when he was on my dad this love them a real classic.
Some people march to the best of a different drummer. Mr. Winters marched ahead of the band.
I watched Johnny Carson nearly every night from 1978 to 1980 during my last 2 years of college. It was a great way to end the week on friday, and was refreshing being able to laugh at Johnny's guests, specially Mr Winters. One of the funniest shows featured Winters and Robin Williams; I have never laughed so much and cried so much at the same time. An era gone by...
Jonathan Winters one of the best comedy Minds in the World!
Winters was my father's favorite, he also was Robin Williams favorite (as evidenced by his casting on mork and Mindy, and his act itself) and I have great affection for him for that reason and more.
Johnny Carson is the perfect entertainer. He is quick witted and every bit as funny as any comedian. Has the ability and enough knowledge to put on a magic show. Has a voice that could be used for narration, radio, and broadcasting. He is able to carry a bad guest with his wit, humor and relatability. Even more important, he is able to play the straight man and setup more talented guests and that skill is the hardest.
