Just saw the small headline "'Mork and Mindy' star Jonathan Winters dies at 87." Almost insulting because he was a comedian and Hollywood star well ahead of that little dabble. Says something about the age of our internet "journalists".
A true artist.

Thanks for the information. It apparently has not been picked up by the
main stream media.
I always enjoyed his improvisations. When they would give him a thing,
and tell him he had to provide he next several minutes entertainment.
He was never at loss.
We will miss Jonathan, as we have no one to replace him. The foul
mouthed people trying to be funny can never replace him.

I am glad I was not the only one who found that offending. I remember a
lot about Johnathan Winters. His working on shows like I Ed Sullivan (I
believe he was on that show), Johnny Carson, and others. Who could
forget his great movies like "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963)",
"The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming (1966)" and many
others. Last but not least were the great albums.
That comment you reffered to about "Mork and Mindy" tells more about the
newswriters than Jonathan Winters.
