He was a brilliant comedian and famously stopped drinking waaaaay back.

I remember seeing him and Johnny Carson, on the tonight show, turning down moonshine a guest was offering them. By that time Carson had publicly quit drinking too.
The guest was a little confused but Carson and Winters just looked at each other and grinned.

Broke my heart to see that today. A true genius of comedy.

Thanks for posting that - I loved him, but had forgotten he was an A.

Godspeed, Jonathan - thank you for all the silliness, laughs, and memories.

He was one of the original improvizational comics. RIP.

One of my favorites too - both as a comedian and for the way he battled alcoholism and depression.

One of my all-time favorites. We'll never see the likes of him again.
