I used to watch the Dean Martin Roasts show, I loved it. This is a great clip, Jonathan Winters was one of my favorite comedians.

Jonathan Winters is one of the great comedians of his time who showed people that the FUNNIER COMEDY is among the ordinary everyday people, which is very different than the jokes told by the sophistication and refinedment of the high class people, like Jack Beny or Bob Hope. Though both Jack Benny and Bob Hope were great comedians too, but their style of comedy was in contrast with the great Jonathan Winters's style. Jonathan Winters created his jokes on the stage sopontaneously. he is amazing!

One thing you can definitely say about Jonathan Winters.... Dean Martin could never keep his composure around him. Dino is dying here! :-)

We can't get clean comedy like this anymore on TV.

You can tell that these people respected, enjoyed and cared deeply for one another.This vid is a true work of genius.

I'm 22 years old......and I think this is fucking HILARIOUS!
Jon Winters is a god.

Who was unfortunate enough to have to follow that?

@hecticdmc Yeah. I'd agree. The Charlie Sheen roast was just a complete waste of time. Somewhere along the line, being as vicious as you possibly can be became the order of the day. Jon Lovitz in particular seemed extremely uncomfortable with the whole thing. I'm sure he wishes he could turn back time and appear at one of these earlier roasts.
Greatest Improv comic ever...and not annoying like Robin Williams. Jonothan Winters was the King.
