I'm no comedian, but Jonathan Winters had a huge influence on my own warped sense of humor. Some of his improvised one-liners have stuck with me for years and oftern come out at inappropriate moments.

"I knew your dad during the war. He was a traitor."

"Not much upstairs, but below the neck, gangbusters!"

But nobody did it like Jonathan. Here's a small sample of his work below.






And ya want music? Here's The Doors on Jonathan's TV show in 1967
