I am 70, born in '53. Pay attention younger generations, you will never witness a more talented man. He is an incredible ad-libber and spontaneous entertainer.
By far the GOAT improvisationist ever.
❤❤❤❤❤
I'm the same age but wasn't a big fan of JW...
sadly they only laugh at profane comics
@@mr.blackhawk142 Who were you a fan of, Vito Genovese?
Johnny Carson was the king of late night entertainment. I Miss all his humor and all his great guests like Johnathan Winters!
Johnathan Winters was one of those rare people who could talk about anything, and no matter what, it would be hilarious. 😄
Mel Brooks is another one. When he was on the Tonight Show's 2nd to last night, I think it was, of the Johnny Carson Farewell Week... well, what a send-off for Carson.
He and norm MacDonald.
Geez, hard to believe this is 50 years ago. Lots of talent sitting up on that stage. RIP ALL ❤️💕❤️💕
REAL talent versus what we see today
World is a sadder place without these genuine funny people.
Some of them
Comedians now they only know how to be rude crude and make fun of somebody else. They don't know true humor and they don't know how to truly laugh
Johnathan Winters and Ethel Mermon in ,"Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" still cracks me up to no end.😊😅😂
You missed the 30 other celebs in that epic movie! L0L
Funniest movie ever
@@sandralarson-gonzales3797 Dick Shawn was hilarious in MMMMMMad world....
@@mr.blackhawk142ditto
I never get bored as much as I watched M-M-M-M World
Winters was on another planet, especially his later years. Robin's main inspiration.
Too bad EARTH IS FLAT and NOBODY can prove otherwise!
@@mr.blackhawk142your a bit of a pessimist aren't you?
Love him.
In the movie it's a mad, mad, mad world with him on that bicycle with the bent tires still cracks me up today. What a great comic.
😂 when he attacks the mechanics at the garage and totally wrecks the place
@@kirosuks... Yep that segment is hilarious and gets me laughing out loud every time - watching it right now on TCM
The obvious joy Johnny Carson shows just being with the incredible comic genius Johnathan Winters is priceless.
I think it was about sharing time with an old and dear friend.
@@garywallenphd885 It's in print that Carson had few real friends, that off stage he was pretty quiet and shy and didn't want to engage. Ed McMahon and Winters were among the few true friends he had.
Miss all these guys.
yep!!!
One of a kind there will never be another like him!❤😂😂
Thanks for showing these Carson Treasures.
Johnathan and Robin Williams were a riot together! The production crew for MORK and Mindy said they would have a lot of fun just cracking each other up and barely able to get a scene done.
Winters is funnier
Pretty birds in 3 dead trees ~ love that painting! Where is it now I wonder? Jonathan Winters always made my family and I laugh, miss him, George Carlin, Mort Saul, Robin Williams...miss the "Good 'Ole Days"........
Pretty Birds in Pretty Dead Trees, which made it even more funny!
One of the most brilliantly unique comics of the 20th century! And I love his art work!
I loved him. A national treasure.
Both of these fellas are a treasure to our country. I loved every show that I ever saw.
He was a wonderful artist. I watched a documentary on him and his paintings
I never knew he was an artist. Those three trees with the birds is really really good. 👌
Check out Kevin Nealons art. It’s amazing!
Only he could make the line "Whereabouts?" so funny. Makes me laugh and I'm not entirely sure why.
Ed McMahons cackle is priceless……you can’t have Carson without Ed….i loved this show
Johnathan Winters was the best. He proved you could use clean humor and be funny
Kinda like Jerry Seinfeld ?
@@helbitkelbit1790 Johnathan Winters is 10 times better than Seinfeld
Robin Williams loved him.
He and Robin Williams were both excellent dramatic actors. Such talent.
once youre an adult what difference does it make if the comedy is "clean" or "dirty"... theyre either funny or theyre not who cares which words they use to get there
EXTRAORDINARY GENIUS
Best birthday present I could ever ask for: another Jonathan Winters interview on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson”.
Happy Birthday!🎉
I a former Marine and when going to military school in '77 everyone was getting a tattoo. I got out in'88 and never got a tattoo.
He was great on every appearance!
I wasn't trying to.
@@stephaniespear8323 ? what do you mean
Love whenever Winters would bring his art to the show. Such a unique look into his extravagant mind
Mushroomer perhaps
ONE OF THE BEST!!!
One of the best comedians ever. 🤪
beautiful and interesting artwork by such a talented man
Great show.I love Johnathan Winters and I also love his Paintings. They are so colorful and Imaginative. The kind that everyone sees something different in each one 😁
Great to see a more personal side of Jonathan.
Thanks y’all again
Winters one of the most underrated ever👍
Ed has the absolute best laugh 😂😂😂
Amazing man, Mr. Winters..brillant in comedy, brilliant in painting....a true GREAT American.
Johnathan Winters is one of my favorite comedians. I miss the talent that existed back then.
So many of the responses here are about "back then" -- what's the deal with THAT? It sounds like my grandparents!
@@93Jubilee because many people my age are grandparents. And the comedians were fabulous "back then."
Johnny always knew when it was time to transition to something else. He did it with ease.
He sure did!
I love Johnnys humour and his art!
That desk steals the show. Green shag carpet-great combo...
I started watching JW on Carson. I may not survive the night. I have laughed so hard. :)
Funny as he was, he was also an excellent dramatic actor.
My favorite original Twilight Zone episode was "A Game of Pool" with Winters and the great Jack Klugman.
Miss these guys.
One of my all time favorite episodes
Don’t recall that one. Drats. Maybe one day I’ll stumble upon it. Thanks.
He was great as the tourist/undercover CIA agent in _Moon Over Parador_
Jonathan Winters was my favorite funny guy!! I miss him and the Carson show. I grew up watching it. Great memories.
I couldn't agree more...
love Johnathan Winters 1 of the best and miss Johnny Carson
I found the video to be exceptionally enlightening.
He was the best! I'll just watch him on CZcams.
The GREAT Jonathon Winters, one of a kind.
My Birthday too a couple days ago. Childhood memories of his humor. Last major memory, what's the name of that movie IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD! with Jonathan Winters and a whole bunch of Stars 🌟 Create a Great Day Whoever is Watching This!
Iconic movie funny as hell
And Carson.. unbeatable 👍
this is a master class
Jonathan Winters with a moustache lol loved his Comedy 🫶🏻
Loved the art ! Titling is everything.
Oh Gawd Yes !! I believe
that you are born being funny, because the funniest guys I knew were always naturally hilarious, and thinking and doing and saying funny stuff, and they never changed their personalities !!
We'd get together once a week and meet at a Coffee Shop and laugh like old times. There were four or five of us, and what a blast they were.
thank you, Johnny. Needed some Jonathan Winters humor in this rough economy and state of people
"state of people"? How about the "state of the White House"?
@@93JubileeI meant the violence and division. Just look at the news, it’s all war, buildings full of children and women being demolished by bombs and rockets, Palestinians fighting against Israelis who took their country over with the support of the U.S’s 4 billion tax payer dollars PER YEAR! meanwhile our own country is overwhelmed by homelessness and drug addicts that rich people are leaving the major cities to live in gated communities and turning a blind eye.
Great gem! Haven't seen this one!
Yay! Thx for uploading a new video Jonathan Winters and Johnny Carson!
Jonathan Winters is my favorite comedian. I just turned 25 5 days ago. I’ll be celebrating all month and this is a perfect way to continue celebrating. Could be fake, but I’ve never seen Jonathan with a mustache
I’ve never seen him with a mustache either and I love it. It looks totally real to me FWIW. Totally refreshing to hear someone of your age appreciates him! 👍 Happy birthday, by the way!
@@peachespavalko1980 Thank you 💖 Much appreciated
It was 1973... the flower child era was over, but it's remnants were spilling over into the middle aged lifestyle.. wide lapels, sideburns and facial hair. Thankfully, the fad passed.
I loved Jonathan Winters in The Russians are Coming!
And in, 'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World'.
I loved his comedy. That art is amazing. Never knew he did that.
I purchased a book by Jonathan Winters when he was still alive and it has many of his paintings in it.
Jonathan Winters was the funniest!!! 😂😂😂
Thank you. For this, and all the Tonight Show videos with Johnny.
Thanks for uploading..winters is always my favorite..legends
I forgot to mention that we all knew each other since 7th grade Junior High School, through High School, and our friendships lasted up through today.
Enjoyed seeing his art work
Winters was an absolute original, and one of the most inventive talents ever. How I miss him!
Top shelf talent....Best era of entertainment...
Call me crazy.
I see Winters' art as intellectually stimulating.
Approaching genius.
It's very much a child's mind trying to explain things.
That First Day of War, is now burned into me.
I loved when he said each piece was $25,000 dollars. At the time Salvatore Dali was drawing on napkins for waitress, and someone asked him what he wanted for the 3 lines on the napkin. Dali said, $25,000, and the admirer said go screw yourself!
So Dali ate the napkin so no one could have it.
A art critique in NYC once said Jon's art was like Dali's to which Jonathan replied, Yeah, but I'm not a 100% less of a jerk!😂
This is the most serious I've ever seen Mr Winters. I'm glad to see this vidro, because it ahows a different side to him I've never seen, and he was quite popular at this filming. He was throughout his career of course. He is to me a deep thinking man, who had his heart broke when he was a child several times , but didnt allow it to make him a mean bitter adult man. Mr Winters to me comes across as very kind. When he had that painting of hunters, and him ssying..."look what your doing to them(animals,") it was a revelation abiut his heart really. He was in some respects too good for this world. He is the G.O.A.T
Carson is correct I think in his statement that being funny is something that comes natural to a rare few people, then they build their craft over time. 😂
wish more Full johnny carson shows would be released on dvd for the uk.
😂you can see now how Robin Williams was so influenced by his act. Legendary!
🙋♀️ *SO VERY HAPPY* you posted this visit. It’s a new on me, and I’m especially digging this batch of paintings vs some of his others. What a genius basically from A-Z; so diverse.
And can you imagine what it was like being married to this man? Plus I’m loving this look he was pulling off with the well-put-together outfit and mustache. Never seen him look better IMO. A man simply can’t go wrong in a black turtleneck.
They broke the mold with you, Jonathan.
True that!
When Doc Severinsen and Bob Newhart die it will really be an end of an era from my perspective.
I guess nothing last forever. I hate change even though you can’t stop it
Loved him !!❤❤❤❤Genius👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁 🌟👏👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤❤❤❤❤❤
My Dad was on a flight out of LAX back in the 70's, when Jonathan Winters boarded his plane. He didn't go sit in First Class, he walked back to Econo & sat across the row from my Dad. They started talking about working in Hollywood (my Dad worked at CBS when Television was first coming out but Radio was still going strong) so they were laughing about different T.V. & Film stars they both worked with....when Jonathan went into character and he entertained all the passengers for the entire flight! When he could have sat in First Class with sunglasses on to hide his face...he joined the average traveler and had the plane in hysterics! Dad talked about that experience til the day he died. It one of many memories Dad shared with that generation of celebrities that were real and very giving.
Being a recovered alcoholic for fifteen years I can relate to their conversation. The one thing I rarely hear alcoholics mention are the horrendous hangovers, but that's the main reason I quit.
amen
💕🙏
Yes! Esp. the hangovers that lasted for a few days! I'm 8 yrs sober this stint! I'm 37 years vegan and that saved my life!
Congrats on 8 years. Happy Holidays.@@mr.blackhawk142
*WOW. 48 looks **_quite different_** today.* 🙏🏽
Nevertheless, I enjoyed the storytelling here (and the tickled, supportive laughter).
Thanks y’all
Him and Robin Williams are two GOAT for being naturally funny with no need for a script (written by either themselves or a team of writers).
I just loved Jonathan since childhood… his talent was just so different remarkable comedy … interesting I never knew he’d been an artist… it makes sense cuz he’d paint pictures with his words too … that’s what stood out to me about Jonathan… I could easily picture the story in great detail.. rarely relied on timing which for most comics is essential.. anyways thanks for uploading.
Great comic about rarely relying on timing.
He was so funny in ' it's a mad mad mad mad world'.
Robin Williams owed Winters his career. they became good friends.
The mustache years!
He was such a treasure!!!! Love him!! Johnny is the best night show host, EVER!!!! These were the best days!! I miss all these treasures of comedy!!!!! 😂😂😂...
His artwork is incredible.
My faves are the one of the bomb dropping on the city (thought provoking) and the 3 dead trees with daisies all over the ground (simple, but pleasing to the eyes).
Richard Pryor talked of quitting drinking...he said he got tired of waking up going 90.
Also...I never knew that Winters was an artist. He had a brilliant twisted mind.
Winters, Rickles and Dangerfield -> my trinity of humor and i'm 26. Kinda outlandish, isn't it?
Johnny, Ed and Jonathan did a lot of partying together as you can gather from this conversation.
I can’t imagine trying to breathe without choking from laughter produced by Mr. Winters.
I can't believe I'm a decade older now than those two then. I grew up watching that generation on TV.
It's also interesting to compare this interview to what you see on late night shows these days. Winters comes out and they actually have a conversation, some of it entertaining, some of it not that much. These days, the host would have one or two points that he's supposed to hit and the guest is prepared to talk about, then they'd go over the guest's newest project, and that would be it.
What a great talent! Love the lady laughing in the background who must've been a recurring audience member.
I believe that’s Shirley Wood, the Tonight Show talent coordinator for many years. I love to hear her laugh, too!
A very infectious laugh.
@@EdieFactory really? That's awesome! Thx for that info. Love her laugh in the many episodes!
I always thought that laugh must've been canned -- so glad to hear it was not! Winters sure didn't need it!@@123abcdef3
He talked on the fly. His facial expressions are hilarious. He can go from a smile to a hangdog look in a split second! Very very funny man!😂
I remember seeing this when it originally aired. I was laughing so hard I woke my wife up. she started laughing right along when she realized what she was seeing which Honestly has been a really good source of happiness for me ever since I lost my wife so many years ago which infact broke me to pieces so seeing comments like this makes me smile.
@@user-yy5fx6qo5l 💕
i have a drawning Winters drew saying Merry Christmas to my grandfather from Harry's in Santa Barbara in '86
What a gem of a human. Mearth should be so lucky
What I wouldn't have given to have spent a night with John and Johnny out drinking
One positive in our culture since 1973 is cracking down on drunk driving.
My sister was killed in late ‘76, by a drunk driver.
He was going 80-90 MPH.
He was given probation.
-Apparently, the crack-down started later.
@@patrickflohe7427 sorry abt your loss. it kicked in really in the mid/late 80s with mothers against drunk driving. 70s were wild.
Clearly none of you have been to Wyoming between 5pm and 2:00am.
Or Colorado: Where a friends Parents were struck by a drunk while riding their motorcycle. The Perp was a six time DUI offender from south of the Rio Grande with no papers and they weren't lost. Colorado feels sorry for evil people and sets them free to murder society, which is why we have an inordinate amount of DUI, Road rage murders and school shootings.
@@patrickflohe7427So sorry to hear that, very sad.
Just pure class
THE ONLY two comedians who could really crack Johnny up was Jonathan Winters AND Robin Williams - ALL three comic geniuses!!!!
Add Rodney and Joan Rivers to that list
@white1sox1
I'd put Rickles in there. Never saw him with Carson but Foster Brooks cracked me up. I think he would make Johnny laugh.
As funny as Johnathon was, he had a very painful upbringing. He overcame it through sheer will to improve his life. He did that and brought the rest of us along for the ride. A truly fine entertainer.
8 glasses of water a day is tough, I'm with ya johnny
Water goes right thru me. Which, I guess, is good for my body, but not good for time management.
Jonathan Winters was a genius!
Jonathan Winters was so gracious that he did not make any huge deal out of Johnny stealing his Maude Frickert character and turning it into 'aunt blabby'.
I was not a fan when I was younger but as time goes by I appreciate his adlibbing much more.
I used to rush home from work(3-11) to watch the Tonight Show...😊
