Farewell, Mr. Winters

Seriously: Who didn't like Jonathan Winters? 

He was one of the first comedians I really remember as a kid ... 


"His career began as a result of a lost wristwatch, about six or seven months after his marriage to Eileen. The newlyweds couldn’t afford to buy another one. Then Eileen read about a talent contest in which the first prize was a wristwatch, and encouraged Jonathan to "go down and win it." She was certain he could, and he did. His performance led to a disc jockey job, where he was supposed to introduce songs and announce the temperature. Gradually his ad libs, personas, and antics took over the show."

Make'em laugh up there, okay? 

 

Jonathan Harshman Winters III
(November 11, 1925 – April 11, 2013)
