I just did a quick review of the past week and noticed no one posted any comments on the passing of one of the funniest people ever. Jonathan Winters was a hilarious individul who couldmake you laugh the moment you saw him. Heres one little link his improvisational genious.

I hadn't heard of his passing. I agree that he was a wonderfully funny guy.

Jonathan Winters was personally responsible (I was thinking of suing him) for me being on the floor with abdominal cramps. While I think Robin Williams is a great comedian, a great deal of his style is directly attributable to Jonathan Winters. While he seems to be forgotten in his later years, I think he will be remembered as one of our greatest comedians.
