    Loved how Robin looked at Johnathan every time he cracked a joke to see his reaction. And Jonathan would give him the approving smile. A strong connection between those too.

    Johnathan Winters was the only man who could cause Robin Williams to try to keep up. And he did but he had to work at it. Williams was usually the center of attraction everywhere he went except when Winters was around. Williams seemed to hang on his every word. Fun to watch.

      Bullshit. He was trying to draw attention to himself because no matter what the situation or with whom, he has to be to center of attention.
      Williams was nothing more than a hyperactive pissant who’s comedy was nothing more than attacks via straw man material with people whom he disagreed politically.
      He and Goldberg two of a kind.

      But my faves would be the early '80s Dave Letterman and Tom Snyder when he was on CBS (and used to have Robert Blake on as a guest - before the Bonnie Lee Blakely murder).

      Johnny was the best late night host ever. The only one that came close to him was Steve Allen. Steve Allen had a whacky sense of humour, in some ways his improvisational skill was as good as Johnathan Winters and almost as good as Robin Williams.

    Comedians usually get their laughs 4 ways, the actual jokes, the timing, the facial/body gestures and the delivery. Robin and Jonathon had all of these plus the ability to adlib and run with pretty much anything. Robin also had a 6th way which was unique to only a few of the greats and that the speed in which his mind worked leaving people in awe.

    That line from Carson was hilarious. Carson was great, he had an excellent late night show with almost no BS political commentary. He said he didn't believe in interjecting his political beliefs into his show. Something hosts could learn from today.

    Robin is hilarious, as he always was. A lot of people don't appreciate the brilliance that was Jonathan Winters. He was so obscure and somewhat weird with his humor. He was my grandfather's favorite comedian.

    • @johnmortimer3947
      @johnmortimer3947 8 років тому +11

      You've got that backwards. Jonathan Winters was always hilarious, and a lot of people didn't appreciate Robin Williams's weird humor. As a stand-up comic, Williams was funniest in the '70s, back when he was always coked-up. He kinda lost his touch without the coke, which Winters subtly references in this interview.

    • @zacharyjarrells7084
      @zacharyjarrells7084 8 років тому +10

      +John Mortimer I think if you took a poll right now, 99% of people will tell you they know who Robin Williams is/was and about the same percentage loved him. I highly doubt too many people can say the same about Jonathan Winters. Not that he wasn't funny, he was hilarious. But, he was very popular from the late 50s to the 80s. In today's times, a lot of people don't appreciate his humor because they simply don't know him.

    • @Peter-V_00
      @Peter-V_00 7 років тому +13

    • @whiff1962
      @whiff1962 7 років тому +1

      Surprising how few, even today, fail to realize that Williams was a notorious drunk and coke head. Hey, I am all for this "chacun soi", but you obviously made good reference to Williams' life with and without the coke.

    Just a tip. Both these amazing comedians suffer from terrible depressions. Winters used to have to check himself into hospitals to manage it. I'm sure there is more of a connection between these men than just comedic style. God Bless them both. Wonderful hearts. Maybe someday people will be able to discuss the illness of depression without shame or blame. It is a real serious, but treatable illness. Hopefully the stigma will be a little less with more enlightenment to society.

    I like the way he talks. Takes his time with what he wants to say at a nice pace. I feel like everywhere I go and every time I open my mouth to speak, I’m being rushed and I fumble over my words just so that I can get them all out before someone interrupts me thinking I’m done talking when I take more than half a seconds pause in between thoughts.
