	Jonathan Winters, MP3 Music Download at eMusic
		Jonathan Winters was an utter original, a wildly improvisational comic whose work careened from childlike prankishness to bitter satire and from bizarre sound effects to straight-faced moralizing -- often all within the same bit.
		Mercurial and manic, Winters veered from character to character and premise to premise at breakneck speed, yet with balletic grace; for all of the seeming chaos inherent in his comedy, his aesthetic remained remarkably consistent and pure, his stream-of-consciousness narratives and radical concepts all refracted through the same singularly bent worldview.
		Jonathan Harshman Winters III was born in Dayton, Ohio on November 11, 1925.

	Winters, Jonathan
		Jonathan Winters began his career in radio, as a disk jockey on station WING (Dayton, Ohio), then moved to television at WBNS (Columbus, Ohio), where he hosted a local program for three years.
		Winters' first network television appearances came during the 1950s with enormously successful guest spots on talk/variety shows such as the Jack Paar Show, The Steve Allen Show, and The Tonight Show.
		In some ways these shows indicated that Winters comedy was almost too unpredictable for conventional network television, and he was allowed more freedom in The Wacky, Wacky World of Jonathan Winters, a syndicated program that focused on Winters' bravura improvisations.
