One of the best! Who says you gotta have vulgarity in standup comedy to make people laugh! There weren't too comedians many like Winters.

He really is the root of everything we think of as "funny" today, isn't he? I do believe he's the line of demarcation: Pre-Winters humor (which I also love), and Post-Winters humor (SNL, SCTV, Kids in the Hall, Whose Line, etc.) really says it all, doesn't it?

if only winters, williams and conway would sit down and have a discussion. i would be laughing for a week. jonathon, robin and tim are the 3 greatest comics in history for my money

@kboyzrock NO ONE said you do, it's only people who are afraid of LANGUAGE, ANY language, WHO make this comparison, it's totally irrelevant. We have BRILLIANT comedians who don't curse and equally brilliant comedians who do. Are you trying to say that George Carlin isn't a comedic genius ? It's not his use of BAD language that makes him great, it's his use of LANGUAGE that does.

This gem of a man is still alive and doing more than kicking --- check out his website! ... I wonder what he thinks of the so called "comedians" of this era??

@tuxguys Good point, and I think your in many ways correct. His impact and influence on stand-ups was profound, to say the least. His ability to make sounds was groundbreaking.

Classy act. A rare treat compared to today's comic venues.

@kboyzrock A good comedian does not have to use vulgarity to be funny. Well said.
