CONDITION OF THE COVER AND AUTOGRAPH IS VERY GOOD, VINYL IS WEAK VG. Jonathan Harshman Winters III (born November 11, 1925) is an American comedian and actor. He began comedy routines and acting while studying at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. He was also a local radio personality on WING (mornings, 6 to 8) in Dayton, Ohio and at WIZE in Springfield, Ohio. He performed as Johnny Winters on WBNS-TV in Columbus, Ohio for 2 years, quitting the station in 1953 when they refused him a $5.00 raise. After promising his wife that he would return to Dayton if he did not make it in a year and with $56.36 in his pocket, he moved to New York City staying with friends in Greenwich Village. After obtaining Martin Goodman as his agent he began standup routines in various New York nightclubs. His big break occurred, with the revised name of Jonathan, working for Alastair Cooke on the CBS Sunday morning show Omnibus. [2] In 1957 he performed in the first color television show, a 15 minute routine sponsored by Tums.[3] As a stand-up comic with a madcap wildness, Winters recorded many classic comedy albums for the Verve Records label, starting in 1960. Probably the best known of his characters from this period is Maudie Frickert, the seemingly sweet old lady with the barbed tongue. He was a favourite of Jack Paar and appeared frequently on his television programs. In addition, he would often appear on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, usually in the guise of some character. Carson often did not know what Winters had planned and usually had to tease out the character's back story through the course of the interview. Winters has appeared in nearly 50 movies and several television shows, including particularly notable roles in the film It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and in the dual roles of Henry Glenworthy and his dark, scheming brother, Rev. Wilbur Glenworthy, in the film adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's The Loved One. Fellow comedians who starred with him in "Mad World", such as Arnold Stang, claimed that, in the long periods while they waited between scenes, Winters would entertain them for hours in their trailer by becoming any character that they would suggest to him.
