This is a classic..... It is nearly 50 years old and as funny today as it was on that night in 1964 when Jack Paar handed a simple stick to Jonathan Winters without a script.
Jonathan Winters' Improvisation: "The Stick"
article source & video at: http://biggeekdad.com/2013/04/jonathan-winters-stick/
Jonathan Winters shows us why he was such a great comedian as he performs "The Stick" with Jack Paar in 1964. The ability to improvise and create comedy is one that very few comedians are truly gifted with and Jonathan Winters was one of the best. I can only imagine the laughs he provided for his fellow Marines that he served with in the Pacific during World War Two. I'm sure heaven just got a whole lot funnier as I have no doubt Jonathan talked his way past Saint Peter and the pearly gates.
