In 1971, I just arrived in California. My first job was as a page at NBC. My first day on the job and my first assignment was working on the Dean Martin Show. Just a year before, I was in Pittsburgh, Pa tending bar and watching the Dean Martin show. After a few months in Calif, I arrived at the studio a half hour early. When I got to the hallway, I saw Jonathan Winters. I spent the most interesting half hour of my life talking to this man. Although I never spoke to Mr. Martin, I did have a wonderful conversation with Mr. Winters. He was a wonderful, nice man...what a memory for me.

Why this works is because Dean Martin never rehearsed. He went into every skit cold. He didn't want to know what his guests had planned so his reaction would be genuine. When you see Dean cracking up, that's spontaneous. That's really Dean. This may have come out of his days in the Rat Pack where everything was done on the fly. Totally improvisational. Of course the Jedi Master of improvisation was Jonathan Winters.

@@theoakhills Dean & Jerry started off very young but Jerry, despite being still a teenager, grew up in comedy with his parents. Dean went along until both started to grow on different directions. Dean wanted to do some serious acting & Jerry got interested in learning what was behind the camera. Plus, people started to get into ear of each of them telling them they would be better off alone. It didn't matter. When they parted they were at the top of their game with contract that today would be closer to billion than millions. Once on their own they excelled. Jerry made a name for himself in how he helped create the instant video playback while filming plus many innovations. Too bad he got hooked on painkillers but great he listened to his doctor & got off them. Dean took awhile to lift off but when he did he skyrocketed. Loved them both & they, as a team, will forever remain in my heart.

Here we go again. When Dean says "I don't kiss and glide" you don't think that was in a written script, written by writers on the show? As was every single question Dean asked Jonathan. It's a skit. It's written by writers. You can ad-lib within the skit but Dean knew exactly what questions to ask because he knew exactly what his guest had planned. It's possible he didn't rehearse it. But it's still a planned skit

THIS is what influenced and inspired the late great Robin Williams’ comedy. You can see immediately the similarities of Johnathan’s comedic approach with that of Robin’s. Absolute genius! BTW, for those who did not get it, what really killed Dean in this skit was Winter’s blurting out “She was Horny!”, and was dubbed over by censors as “naughty”.

I will never tire of this genius. As astonishingly brilliant as Robin Williams was, God Bless his soul... Williams owes so, so much to the inspiration of Winters. (Dean Martin is one of the greatest straight men who has ever lived.) (Addendum, 3 years later) I recently saw an interview with one of Dino's producers, and he said something along the lines of, "There were two frequently-appearing performers on the show who we never wrote for, who had blank cue cards: Don Rickles and Jonathan Winters."
