I once chauffeured Jonathan from his home in North Hollywood to a commercial voiceover and got lost en route. I drove around lost in LA with the funniest man in history doing his continual schtick. Most memorable ride of my life.
@Joe Gallagher Jonathan would 've made a quick study of you by saying ," Ya ever come across these idiots who never believe a story someone tells, well they kinda look like this 🤔, and they kinda screw their face up ...and then all of sudden they gush forth with a big heavy - NAH !!!!! and then everyone around looks at the idiot and say " What an ASSHOLE "! ( in unison of course ) Congratulations Joe ! You're an ASSHOLE !
It's incredible to follow Jonathan's career on RU-vid and see him as a young man on the Jack Paar Show, a middle-aged Winters on Carson, and finally a frail man in this clip. A true master of improv to the end.
The last of the honest caring American patriots that loved life And saw the world through the prism of clean sincere and a vividly authentic imagination
Must be the easiest man to interview. You dont have to worry about awkward silences and not knowing what to say; the legend runs the interview. Truly an inspiring person.
Wonderful man, beloved by all, from celebrities to the man on the street. Thank you so much for posting this, I am 52 and have the pleasure of knowing I have MANY YT clips still unseen by me yet to view. How can anyone say anything negative about this charming and truly hilarious gentleman? Peace to all, laughter IS the medicine!
Jonathan is/was my all time favorite comic! He really was a genius in his improv. You can see just how tired he was in this clip. I would imagine that losing his wife of 60 plus years was very hard on him. And he did have health issues such as diabetes, etc. Its odd how discolored his hands are, isn't it? Even so, I love him like family!
Venom101002Me too, but watching a legend being interviewed by a dummy makes me mad, but Jonathan handled it well, being polite and funny all through the end
that's a good lesson in contrast Comedic Legend, Icon & the dude to the left. does anybody know why the F he would hand him a hammer as a prop??? it just don't make sense. Mr.W. didn't blink an eye!!! oh yea!! keep on smiling!! 🌟✨💫💖💗💓✌on🌎
My opinion Jonathan Winters graced us all who were fortunate to watch him do his magic with improvisation on tv show for many years. And now ??? God and all those in heaven are blessed with the genius of the late, Great Jonathan Winters...
Y'all do know Heaven is in our hearts, ya? not a place, a Feeling. we've got access to it 24/7/365 go for it!!! ok I'll be more clear, u don't need to die to experience heaven, Remember ur 1st real Love? there u go!! it's alot easier than we've been taught.is all I'm trying to say.
@@timh8815 Believe what you want. Heaven is just a man-made creation (like hell). Religions were created to control others and make them tolerate terrible living conditions.
Heaven being a man made place is both true and not true. I believe Heaven and Hell are Potentially in each moment based on our state of mind. At the same time upon Death Heaven exists. Besides wisdom books left for us humans, don't take my word. We are gifted by having millions of people having near death Experiences for the purpose of coming back and letting us know. RU-vid search for yourself before Responding. Look at no less than Five.
Glenn Zornig I grew up in the 80's loving Jonathan Winters and The Twilight Zone. Last night, I just watched "A Game of Pool" on the Twilight Zone BLU-RAY set of Season Four I recently bought, and Your Being A Dramatic Actor, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND You Get It Too If You Don't Already Have It. Jonathan Winters provides audio commentary over the entire episode, and it is some of the deepest heart felt commentary I have ever heard. While he discusses aspects of the storyline and script, he goes even deeper into his feelings on his career, time he missed spending with his children due to being all over the world filming movies, etc. He really goes down many different paths you don't expect. He just delve into what I felt were very meaningful insights into what really matters in life. I'm very sentimental and interested into people's views of what matters in life, what is important to them, especially people like Winters who I admire. I said to my Mom after watching it together "His commentary alone was worth the price of admission for me!" and I had already commented while listening, that he was getting pretty deep. I can't recommend it enough to you. Also, another feature (separate from the commentary) is Jonathan Winters discussing the original alternate ending to the episode, and reading the alternate ending script in it's entirety, with a very nice dramatic touch. With the commentary, I expected Winters to crack more jokes and be silly, and was looking forward to that (and he made a few) but the serious direction he took really made me feel like I better know the man himself, and who he was, and for that, I'm grateful. I also highly recommend Winters' collection of short stories and reflections on his childhood, in his book "Winters Tales."
I’m 52 and the very first time I saw Jonathan Winters, it was in a Stanley Kramer movie picture entitled, Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad World. I think it’s the best movie of all times. Thank you, Johnny from Montreal Canada 🇨🇦. Rest In Peace Johnathan Winters.
"Winters comes to mind because award-winning talk show host John Kerwin, in celebrating his 100th show, garnered the enormous privilege of interviewing Winters, 86, at his home in Santa Barbara, Calif. Remarkably, Jonathan is as sharp as ever and Kerwin’s relaxed style allowed Winters to free associate, leaving me wishing the interview had run even longer."
The most truly funny man who has ever lived. I watched him for the first time in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" for the first time when I was about 8 years old and became a lifelong fan. I sure miss him.
He lived a long life and he made so many people laugh that I cannot conceive anyone else making so many people laugh. He was the master of improvisation. There will never be anyone like him and God rewarded him with a long life and of course he deserved it. God bless him wherever he is now!
Planet Earth’s ultimate comedian. Such a wonderful human being who filled our lives with so much laughter. Thank you so very much Mr.Jonathan Winters.🙏😃
In poor health, Jonathan still agreed to this interview. Here, he knew the days were numbered, and it's hard to be funny when you count the days. American treasure - gone. Tens of thousands,also, of great Americans gone. Any wonder America in decline ?
America is in decline because it is denying God, but I digress. Jonathan reminds me of my dad, in the my dad loved Jonathan. Both were class acts, and both are gone. I guess it's the same with every generation, but I just can't picture people waxing eloquent and nostalgic about the Madonna/Miley Cyrus (etc.) years.
all I can say is this, talking Stink about anyone or anything will only produce more of it..... leave out what u don't like, focus on what u Do want or like & u will be Amazed (it's natural law) @ the outcome. never said it was easy, But it is Worth it. Mahalo nui loa Mr. Winters 4 ur Brilliant Star, I feel Blessed to have been able to experience it. u Always make me feel better. Aloha 🌟✨💫💖💗💓✌on🌎
@@greenwich1754 Bullshit - take you fantasy buy-bull stories and go away. America (and the world) is in decline because the ultra rich want to control everything and take no responsibility for their actions.
This kind of comedy is long gone, now a days, they use a lot of profanity which I personally don't like. I loved Johnathan Winters, I grew up laughing at his jokes and improvisions. Like Ray said he was a comedy legend. May he rest in peace.
One thing I can say about Jonathan Winters he was a hell of a man made everybody laugh never had to use bad words in any way shape or form he might be gone but he'll never be forgotten that's for sure
This man is my favourite. I'm only young, but watching his work and just walks on stage and those old shows or has interviews etc, his improvisations, one liners and genuine funniness is classic. He made Robin Williams laugh many a time. What a funny man without the crude language.
He's right about the playgrounds, too. And the ones that are left are usually empty all day, even on weekends. All the kids are at home, staring into screens . . .
i though the brits with tony hancock,peter sellers ,spike milligan , dave allen to name a few..had the lock on comedy genius..till i discovered j.winters..jack benny..rodney dangerfield..winters just gave one of the best pieces of advice i ..ever heard(and wished i had heard it years ago)..you must marry someone with a great sense of humour..never tire of watching and listening to this man..
My favorite routine was Commander Jonathan Winters standing at the edge of the warship looking down at his men as they climb into the shore boats to face the enemy: "You know, men, that I would like to be with you, but... I'm needed here."
love this guy especially during covid, watching Johnny Carson old shows on You Tube, He made me seriously laugh hysterically! Hes like an old uncle at a family party, till he opens up and starts telling stories, smh he is off the hook! RIP xoxo
There are no true comedians anymore.There are people who make you laugh at times,but not people like Mr.Winters.He didn't have to say any curse words,or anything at all sometimes.
When you die- it's over. No heaven and no hell. Those were created to make folks put up with a crappy life today. Enjoy what you have now. Hug your friends and family.
Johnathan winters now has everyone in heaven in glorious joy and happiness 😅 for all the joy he gave to people all of his life, 😅 he earned his just reward❤ in a class of his own, the inimitable mr johnathan winters rip sir❤😢
Oh great Jonathan you are more beautiful than drawing laughter in the world I am in the farthest planet of the earth in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and I love you so much Rest in peace smile maker The entire art world misses this great
I sure do miss this old guy, I don't think anybody has ever made me laugh as much as Jonathan Winters, he could just walk out on stage and make a face that you just knew something funny was about to happen and you wouldn't stop laughing until he walked back off the stage, I know that anything he was in other TV shows or in a movie I would watch it just because he was in it R.I.P Jonathan Winters.
