Oh, that guy! He was funny! With a rubber face. It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. I see from Wiki that he was an artist, too.

I always enjoyed his humor. Loved when he would double as another character with himself also on same scene. I thought my dad was strange for seeing who died close to his age. Now I am doing the same thing.

Jonathan Winters was the best, his appearances on the old Jack Paar Tonight Show were hilarious. Jonathan would just show up, walk on stage and just take over. He showed up one night as 'the voice of the forest' he had picked a bunch of weeds from the parking lot and stick them in his hair and clothes and proceeded to hand out his 'gifts' the weeds to the audience. RIP

In the 1960's he had a comedy show on TV. At the end of the show he would ask the audience to give him a situation of something in life or history. He would just go off with it. He would make me laugh until I was out of breathe. He was Robin Williams mentor in comedy. One of the funnest people to grace this earth. Totally ADD

He had a great career, I hope he had a great and happy life. He lived to a very good old age. What more could a person ask for.
May he rest in peace.

I loved him when I was a kid! Him and Red Skelton and Jackie Gleason. Oh, and Laugh In.
God, am I old.
