The Wacky World of Jonathan Winters (1981) Burt Reynolds 

Sharp as tack! Quickest Witt and Adliber! Genius of comedy.

I love Burt's laugh.

Mr Orson Wells was always magnificent

Like Don Rickles, Jonathan was one of a kind. The images conjured up from the ether in his ultra imaginative mind never failed to make me laugh. It's almost like something other than himself was making it all up and even he had no idea what he was going to say or do next and he did enjoy performing getting a kick out of himself while it was happening. RIP

Love Mr. Winters. I miss him terribly

The funniest man who’ve ever performed on the stage.

The sketch with Dan Rowan was hysterical!! I actually remember when phones switched from a rotary dial to buttons.😁

8:10 The same genuine laugh he did in the opening scene in Smokey and the Bandit II 🤠

Johnathan has kept me sane in our world

Repackaged version of Winters' variety show (first-run syndicated 1972-1974) with added host-runners of Orson Welles for Showtime (1981).

"Whatever happened to Anastasia ?" "He got a bad haircut" Jonathan never knew what he was going to say next until it happened and this time when "it" happened he cracked himself up with his answer. This is the only time I've ever seen him break character. I cannot blame him though, that answer was so ridiculous it was hilarious. Burt and Jonathan working together: Burt was pretty funny but because he hogged their time together doing his thing J.W. never had a chance to get going. And Dan Rowan is in the same boat. He also was funny but dominated the scene not allowing JW to get into a real groove. There will never be another Jonathan Winters. He was in a class all by himself.

The last skid was hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂

Wonderful! ❣️🎬📺😊

This Burt Reynolds episode dates to September 1973.

This was back in the early 70's.

Love them both miss the 70s for sure!

His mind is amazing. Before key & Peel, so many swiped his style. Aa a kid I use to laugh at his interviews, so zainey

Orson Welles sounding like his Mercury Theater days.

The legend Burt Reynolds in his prime

Burt Reynolds actually held his own pretty good when he and Jonathan were improvising. Mr. Rowan j-u-s-t about lost it a couple times in their sketch, but the whole bit was pretty good. And Orson Welles doing the intro, hosting and outro... THAT was different!

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT

absolute genius,i'll bet his childhood was different,burt was a funny man together with jon,well probably one of his highlights,rip to both

Love this

Burt Reynolds AKA Lieutenant Dan August,The Bandit RIP.

Where are today’s George Carlins, Richard Pryors and Jonathan Winters.

"I never touch it myself, I don't smoke or drink, I'm church people. But uh, I've been known to shoot a pigeon every once in a while. Shot one of them the other day, didn't have nothing to do, and knocked him off a weather vane." XD XD XD

It was a tragedy allowing BR to dominate (who prepared his part)when I would rather have heard JW

It was nice of them to make it where the Studio Audience is able to Hear the proceedings.

Lady interviewer; what did you think of that woman? Rasputin; she was big in the sleigh bells😂😅🤣🤦‍♀️

He was GREAT .THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME HAPPY

26:34 For a moment,i thought they were going to re enact a scene from Deliverance.

Why is Orson Welles doing a prologue for Jonathan Winters? Weird choice considering these two are so highly dissimilar in background and work.

Did you see the credits? Produced and Directed by Greg Garrison. A Greg Garrison Production. Greg Garrison was the total genius behind the scenes of NBC's The Dean Martin Show. Johnathan Winters was also a wonderful guest star on that classic television variety show.

White Lighting is mentioned,so I am guessing this originally aired in 1973.

Winters was Robin William's idol.

Burt Reynolds looks 44 years old on this show .

bart is laughing because jonathan is ad-libing all of it

Would have been excellent if i could hear it properly

I believe the original broadcast was on September 13, 1973.

No one funnier

Johnathan Winters is laugh out loud funny 😂

This might be great if the audio was in sync.

To bad the sound is too low. I couldn’t watch it.

No audio today. Other videos work, just not this one for some reason.

Can't hear

The best was him doing Rasputin. Hilarious.

😂😂😂😂😂😂👏

Winters never particularly amused me or even made me laugh.

@Magnetic Tape Head ... no sound

To many middle age and older actors , Hollywood should put teens and 20 + years old on to , 😎

Hi country guys! 🤣🤣🤣

I never knew Rasputin was trans. Winters predicted the future and the past.

Great baby boomers ✌️ classic TV shows and other , I hope as a some what boomers that I to live 48 more years free and independent from nursing home that be 117years old

High IQ!

Great to see Burt ,this is not 1981, but it must be the same year Burt was filming whitelighting, as he said he just came from the set, so it must be .75,

21st century---- no talent like this-- more is the pity

Burt Reynolds looks 44 years old on this show .
