Jonathan Winters & Robin Williams in Funniest Moments on Carson Tonight Show 

Johnny was cool, i caught some of his shows. I liked his humor. But my faves would be the early '80s Dave Letterman and Tom Snyder when he was on CBS (and used to have Robert Blake on as a guest - before the Bonnie Lee Blakely murder).

very true sadly.

Frank Guerrero Totally agree

Johnny was the best late night host ever. The only one that came close to him was Steve Allen. Steve Allen had a whacky sense of humour, in some ways his improvisational skill was as good as Johnathan Winters and almost as good as Robin Williams.

That is a fact.

"The force is strong within you padawan!" 😶 ...peace...

Two.

@@jnnx As in "Undeniably Terrific Twosome"? Of course!

@@jnnx Jonathan knew comic genius when he saw it, because he saw it in the mirror every day!

Extraordinary talent!

Yes, men like these two come to earth once in many lifetimes. Real greatness

he passed in 2013 and Robin Williams died less than a year later.. Kinda amazing.

Norm McDonald was great at this as well.

+Potter Perfect And the laugh. Oh how marvelous to see him really laughing hard like that :)

57Strudel I love his laughs when they were real, not used as a mask

👍👍👍👍👍

***** I think he was more of a mentor/friend than a father figure

***** you met him? was he nice? i wish i met him, he was probably the sweetest person ever

There was a reason he was on Mork and Mindy...Robins idol...he took Winters stuff on and on

Winters mentored him.

Nobody could ad-lib like Winters including Williams. Nobody

Bullshit. He was trying to draw attention to himself because no matter what the situation or with whom, he has to be to center of attention. Williams was nothing more than a hyperactive pissant who’s comedy was nothing more than attacks via straw man material with people whom he disagreed politically. He and Goldberg two of a kind.

You're NOT Robin and shouldn't speak for him

Completely agree

I totally agree

Watch Graham Norton's show he's practically the spiritual successor of interviewing multiple guests.

No late night host can ever best Johnny. Wish he was still doing it. RIP

amen

Peace?wherever these two went is in eternal uproar.

Mine too two of the greats of all time 😂❤

My two favorite comedians.

OHHH GODS YES! They were AWESOME together!

For sure, Robin was actually Jonathan’s father on Mork&Mindy.

@@j.s.connolly8579 intbb

Kind of eerie that Robin died 1 year and 4 months after Winters.

If you believe in the Bible then sadly they're not. Robins not in a great place cause obviously God will damn you forever if you're sad and cant handle the shitty life he gave you so you committed suicide so his answer is punish you even more forever.

they are, in heaven. not a fan of the bible thumping crowd of meanies.

@@blackenedheart9592 so if you don’t believe in the Bible then they all of a sudden aren’t??

Daisy. No talk show could ever come close to The Tonight Show. I miss it. Johnny was a comedic genius!!

Irish humour is better . Not this boring long winded no punch like tripe

​@@oliveroneill1388how limited is your sense of humor

Thank you uploader for this thoughtful upload, and Father for such fun times with both great comedians.

Do you live in the Central Time Zone cause JC came on after the 11 o'clock news at 11:30 where I lived.

@@Miatacrosser Ya, you and me both.

Lol. Now I'm suffering with your nostalgia.

Crashburn 32 All four. Ed McMahon is gone too.

+Crashburn 32 No they are not gone they are always with us as flesh and bone turns to ash they brighten are day with memories they brought us.

Yes, But what I was saying was that there is no true death regardless of religion or belief.

They are always with us in our hearts, in are memories,in the strength they brought us.

+Crashburn 32 I still remember Winters breaking out of that egg, funniest moment in TV history.

Q🛌🛍🎀🎎🎊⛱📮📧

Both of them (William's and Winters) were extremely intelligent period. But genius is often tied hand in hand with mental illness, sadly.

There’s one bit where he talks about a farm... I have to find that one

I will, at random times, laugh out loud at a bit i saw Jonathan do in the early 60s. His face, when he imitates a cat, knocks me out every time I think of it.

You've got that backwards. Jonathan Winters was always hilarious, and a lot of people didn't appreciate Robin Williams's weird humor. As a stand-up comic, Williams was funniest in the '70s, back when he was always coked-up. He kinda lost his touch without the coke, which Winters subtly references in this interview.

+John Mortimer I think if you took a poll right now, 99% of people will tell you they know who Robin Williams is/was and about the same percentage loved him. I highly doubt too many people can say the same about Jonathan Winters. Not that he wasn't funny, he was hilarious. But, he was very popular from the late 50s to the 80s. In today's times, a lot of people don't appreciate his humor because they simply don't know him.

Winters humor was at times very rapid fire and subtle, you had to pay attention to appreciate it, much like the late Robin Williams.

Surprising how few, even today, fail to realize that Williams was a notorious drunk and coke head. Hey, I am all for this "chacun soi", but you obviously made good reference to Williams' life with and without the coke.

+whiff1962 He partied with Belushi. He was doomed after that. Boom,no more dopamine.

franco depp They WERE father and son on Mork and Mindy.

Exactly. Robin was Winters father. Chew on that for awhile...yep

Millenial gen or gen y started in 86. I was only just born

"Filled with Millennials" Update your self-important sense of alienation, wake up and smell the Gen Z. Have you been sleeping for 10 years? same old tired prejudice.

I think you‘d be surprisef how many millennials are actually here.

Who fucking cares what generation you are? Humor is universal!

9751asd Thank you

+9751asd Sad isn’t it? It was the best of times...

God, you're right. How depressing. They were all so great (though I still mourn the most for Robin).

That's the truth...

How do we know where they are?

Major Winters?

Thanks for the info Ben. 👍🇬🇧

Yes, they were! I love Johnny Carson!

Well said. - Can I get an AMEN?!!!!

Corey 4130 RIP indeed. I think they’d all agree if it not heaven wherever they are they’re making somebody laugh

Corey 4130 00p

I thought that if you decided to end your own life (do situations vary....I do not know) Heaven was not where you were headed.

Heavens no you can't. But hell yeah, they are funny.

When Americans had a sense of humour.....well I suppose they gave the world Joe Biden, hes hilarious.

Tim who, please? Thank you. :)

Jtoevin Beethoven Seems like a desperate plea for upvotes.

I would say two, but that's just MOHO.

Minus the head badass, Rodney Dangerfield.

Nope Rickles isn't there or Pryor.

Sad to hear Robin Williams passed today. Bless you and thank you for many great laughs Robin!~KJ

Me too! Can't someone invent a time machine? Gosh I miss Johnny Carson!

Brian Collins Make that two of us.

Is on a tv channel here - reruns. STill as funny as hell

No one comes close.. MIss those carefree days watching JC

Me, too 😥

Richard Woolf that’s awesome

How old were you?

Early 20s. The ushers purposely put my group up front to give the appearance that younger people were watching the show at that time because the ratings were dropping (i beleive). When I saw Robin Williams was going to be the guest I asked for tickets.

That had to be awesome. Two greats.

I am so happy you had this experience! Such brilliance in one setting. 😊❤️

JW was the best and when you added Robin Williams to the mix they were unstoppable. Way too funny

I agree they fed off each other very well and so much un-rehearsed material..I love this type of comedy..

"I can't ride this. It's a GIRL's bike"!

Jerry Smith hahahahha....

"Even businessmen, who rob and cheat and steal from people everyday, even they have to pay taxes." "Listen, anything you got to say about your mother-in-law, you don't have to explain to me. You know what I mean? Like, if she were the star of a real crummy horror movie, I'd believe it." "Aw, when the people who own the furniture see this" "Anyone see an ugly, bald guy with glasses? I mean, really ugly"

Well now come on, Winters was 66 here. Look up stuff from when he was younger and you can see him being a lot quicker. Of course, the similarity is still just uncanny. Williams owes almost everything to Winters - he just took that style and turned it up to 11. Mind you, without ever really being derivative. Both of these gentlemen were legends.

gocsa True. I didn't mean the "slow motion" comment to come across in a derogatory way. :) I also remember seeing Winters in his (our? *cough*) younger days.

That is what I thought when I first saw Robin Williams the way he performed similar to Jonathan Winters.. I love that both of them were on "Mork and Mindy" they were both hysterical.

gocsa God everyone on this set is now gone,..they ain't making comics like them anymore..O:-)

John Hintz Yeah, I was even thinking about including Carson in there when I was writing that comment and mentioned how both Winters and Williams were/are legends. I mean damn, this trio in this video is just wow. What do we have now? Fallon. And Letterman who hasn't been any good in decades now. And Conan, nothing against him, but he's no legend. Sad.

Martin Palacio i feel like a dummy, but I didn’t get that joke

@@gianttigerfilms me neither

Kind sir, would you do the honors?

@gianttigerfilms it was about masturbation. If he had the glove on, it would have created a barrier.

@@gianttigerfilms Think of it this way, Michael Jackson's lost glove was found in Cauley McCulkin's pants.

You forgot Ed McMahon.

He was not a star.

Darcy Lynn ventriloquist

Tony Tanti its funny he was Indian

Tony Tanti that joke would not pass today 😂

Can't say that today, can you.

@@dawilkiesure you can. Just don't let a lefty hear you.

Joe Schmoe I’m a “lefty” and can appreciate humor like this. Don’t paint millions of us as the same.

That was taken from coach John McKay when he was coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

JW hands RW his gloves, "wanna play with them ? " LOL. thats the true measure of a great stand up comedian, ad hoc one liners consistently fired as the conversation happens, a sharp wit and great rapport with others.

I've never understood people's love for that idiot.
