    He had a different take, pioneering sound effect comedy [or at least making it popular]....Reminds me of the Rat Pack era. Had some funny Friars Club bits ...Dang. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XynxTU8ovZ8

    RIP Marine

    Another entertainer that is part of the fabric of my life. I remember him on the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts (Poppy's video above). My dad wasn't much of a TV watcher after the good westerns faded away, but Dean Martin was one of his favorites so we would watch those roasts when I was a kid.

    A very funny man. And a Marine. Godspeed, Jonathan Winters.

    He was The Man.

    His show was on when I was a young lad and watched until it was cancelled. It was one of my favorites. I especially like the part of the show where he would improv with the hats.

    I like his character in the movie "It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World" the best.
