Mr. Knotts perfected his nervous , confidence while being unsure of himself style of comedy better than any person I"ve ever seen. Naturally funny but still didn't need profanity nor vulgar to do so.
I had the pleasure of meeting him at an Andy Griffith Show Reunion in Nashville in 1991. He was so gracious, signing autographs and posing for pictures. Jesse Donald Knots was such a class act! The whole cast of the Andy Griffith show( except Andy and Jim Nabors) were there.! Thelma Lou (Betty Lynn) autographed Autographed my AGS book and even kissed me on the cheek! One of the best days of my life!!!!!
The Andy Griffith Show was such a great vehicle for him. It made him so much more than just a punch line. He was so relatable And I don't know if we would have seen that side of him apart from his role in Mayberry. I don't think he's warmth ever showed on threes company for ex. I had to laugh about how they costumed him in threes company. He and my grandmother seemed to buy their pant-suits in the same place.
+Rob Fowler Great comment.. I concur! I just love him in his classic movies like The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, The Reluctant Astronaut, Shakiest Gun in the West, The Incredible Mr. Limpet, etc... He never made me smile and laugh as much as he did in those types of movies and in this "weather forecast"🤗😁😂✌
He absolutely made the Andy Griffith Show. My wife and I binge watch Andy Griffith until it got to the episodes without Barney. We tried to watch a few but they just weren’t nearly as funny.

This is classic comedy by a legend. How on Gods green earth could ANYONE down vote this. I guess there wasn't enough profanity, nudity or racial content for them.
Garry Harville Don Knotts relied on actual comedic talent, rather than yammering on about tasteless, cringy and embarrassing trash...so how could it possibly be funny/sarc! Rest In Peace Mr Knotts. You don't have much competition these days, so you'll be remembered forever!
Don Knotts is one of the BEST!!! I love the scene from "No deposits, No returns" where he is making him self a cup of Tea...with nine spoonfuls of sugar...lol he is just sooo funny!!
Knotts wrote a lot of the gags on the Andy Griffith show. Griffith had him at all the writers' meetings. Sometimes, he'd just mention he had some routine worked up and he and Andy would go through it. If it was good, they'd put it into the show.
And he didn't get a lick of the writing credits either. And it probably never occurred to him to ask because he just wanted the show to go well and to contribute.
If you can't, there's an interview with Don Knotts on his life and work on CZcams. I think it is six half-hour parts and the army story would be in the first or second one...
Great stuff. I have an 8 year old and I've been introducing her to Don Knotts with excerpts from Ghost and Mr. Chicken and Mr. Limpet. His genuine feel is timeless.
I can't think of a funny comedian under 35 years old. Being brought up as snowflakes in a PC world filled with participation trophies has made them dull unimaginative dolts. SNL is only a platform for making inane humorous attempts against Conservative politicians.
@@TheCheermeister: SNL is packaged and produced for those with the mentality of 12 year olds. Especially the ladies? I know you must be having a piss now. LOL!
It’s really great to see him in something that is, at least to me, fresh. I never saw this clip before, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks so much to whomever posted it. I’ve probably seen all the black-and-white Andy Griffith episodes multiple times (the color episodes were not as good). It was a great show but WOW I sure wish I could forget some of those early episodes and go back to watch them for the first time again. I still enjoy them but too often I know what the next line of dialogue will be, haha. Unfortunately, Don Knotts was far more clever and talented than were the writers who worked on most of his pictures, especially the ones that came out after Andy Griffith Show had been cancelled. However, at least one of his movies was absolutely brilliant, ‘The Incredible Mr. Limpet’. The premise of that film was silly, and in lesser hands it might have been no more memorable than one of the Sharknado movies, but the silly premise was elevated to the level of fine art, thanks to superb writing, animation and the two leads (Limpet and Ladyfish, can’t remember the Ladyfish actor’s name but she played Gomer Pyle’s girlfriend on TV). Although it was a comedy film, it had very serious moments and showed that Knotts was capable of much more than the slapstick humor that made him famous. I remember it was a Warner Brothers picture and thus the animation was handled by the same studio as Looney Tunes. It’s one of my favorite films of the 1960s and Don Knotts is still one of my favorite actors from that era.
No Time for Sergeants is the first book I ever read. Knotts was priceless in his role as was the rest of the cast. If you like classics, give it a watch.
I saw this the night it aired on Steve Allen's Sunday night variety program on.NBC-TV. I also recorded the audio on reel-to-reel tape and listened to it enough times to remember some of its best lines to this day; e. g., while looking at the empty map outline, Don says, "Well, there she is, the good old USA!" I believe the audio was also issued by Steve Allen on an LP, along with other bits from his Sunday night show. Thanks for posting this. Great to SEE it again after all these decades.
There will never be another comedian like Don Knotts. All this time and this clip is still very funny. I agree, the weather channel should run this on there channel!
THE BEST COMEDY, is clean comedy! He is KING. Wish I was born when he was. It's pretty sad when you live in the year 2020, but you only watch things from the 20s,30s,40s,50s,60s, and 70s!
I always liked Don Knotts, and then I saw him on an interview with Dick cavett and I absolutely fell for him I think he's great! I wish he was still alive.
it was weird.when don knotts left andy was a completely different person on the show.you could feel it from his acting.almost seemed depressed.no way he put his full effort forward after don was gone.so they started leaning towards gommer & goober to get the comedy back the best they could.
I'd have to give honorable mention to George Lindsey and Howard Mcnear as well. Best damn show on TV. I met them all at a reunion show in Nashville about 30 years ago. All except Frances Javier who had passed a way 2 years beforehand. Hal Smith was there! Such a talented cast!
I'm old enough to remember the 15 or 30 minute newscasts. News. Weather. Sports. And we had 2 daily papers, morning and afternoon. The flow of truly important information was actually much better then!
It's all in the delivery, just picture someone else trying to do this skit. I'll bet you wouldn't even crack a smile. But Don Knotts doing it ... Increduble!
Don Knotts 'nervous man' originated on Steve Allen's original tonight show and was the foundation of Barney Fife and just about every comic character he did.
Yeah back when the Soviet Union was threatening the safety of the world with nuclear annihilation (takes two to tango though to be fair). And don't forget the Jim Crow South. You know, simpler times...
Looks like a clip from the Steve Allen Show, circa 1960. Don Knotts was a member of the program's ensemble company responsible for many memorable comic interludes, in particular the "Man in the Street" sketches. He was a versatile performer and by all accounts much loved by his peers.
"We can expect a low pressure area around here. That's an "L" for "low" and a "P" for "pressure". While here in this middle area the temperatures should be pretty Even and out west we can expect it to be really Hot." H - E - L - P 🤣🤣🤣
"Snow in Valley Forge for General Washington...That's not funny, Herb!"... What a great comedian in his prime! He seemed to be the "main man to watch" in all the years he did his Barney Fife character on the Andy Griffith Show on CBS in the early 1960's.

No sponsor, Funny stuff, LOVE YA, DON. R.I.P.
I grew up watching his movies on the Disney Channel
today's generation will never know the true king of comedy
I want to go back to that time when the world wasn't going to hell.
I know man this world and America everything's going to crap :/
Yeah back when the Soviet Union was threatening the safety of the world with nuclear annihilation (takes two to tango though to be fair). And don't forget the Jim Crow South. You know, simpler times...
Mike Cartwright Yeah, before you were born!
Robert Recchia the world always was crap, just in different ways.
Robert Recchia made my day, we are really living in hell
Don, WV is about 500 miles to the right of there.
Thanks, I needed a good laugh!
Looks like a clip from the Steve Allen Show, circa 1960. Don Knotts was a member of the program's ensemble company responsible for many memorable comic interludes, in particular the "Man in the Street" sketches. He was a versatile performer and by all accounts much loved by his peers.
"We can expect a low pressure area around here. That's an "L" for "low" and a "P" for "pressure". While here in this middle area the temperatures should be pretty Even and out west we can expect it to be really Hot."

"Snow in Valley Forge for General Washington...That's not funny, Herb!"... What a great comedian in his prime! He seemed to be the "main man to watch" in all the years he did his Barney Fife character on the Andy Griffith Show on CBS in the early 1960's.
i loved him in the ghost and mr chicken
And 'Shakiest Gun In The West'!
Atta Boy Luther.
