RIP Jonathan Winters

2 Winters memories, both from when I was a kid:
1. He had a special on HBO and did a skit about a baseball player. Only thing I remember is him picking up a bat and saying "King Kong's toothpick." For whatever reason, a friend and I would recite that line a lot.
2. His Twilight Zone episode with Jack Klugman. Was on the other night (when he died). He could act a little, too.

 

You obviously haven't been around here long enough to understand...this is how we grieve.
Get over it noob and fetch me a sixer of Dogfish Head Immort Ale for your party foul.

 

Noob? Really? When did this become a high school chat room?

 

October 2002.

 

Shit, shit, shit.

Loved Jonathan Winters.

Clements was right. Davis Rules was hysterical, and way too short-lived.

RIP, Sir.

 

That was funny and thanks, Chef.

 

Robin Williams had a nice piece on Mr. Winters in today's NYTimes.

I remember watching his television show when I way young (circa 1969 or 1970). He always did a good show but sometimes it really got rolling and was split-your-side funny. I hope there are some samples on you tube.
