I was always a big fan. RIP, Jonathan. You were one of a kind.

I'll have to watch these clips when I get home.

He was also a raging alcoholic for a long time, and wound up spending eight months in an insane asylum.

Without him, we don't have Carson's goofy sketch comedy, Robin Williams improv or Jim Carrey's physical humor.

One of the true comedy greats. One of a kind. Big loss to comedy.

Good overview of his life is here:

He and Charles Durning, who we just recently lost as well, lived some big lives.

Man...loved his comedy. They play some of his old improv bits on 24/7 Comedy where he would take audience suggestions and act them out. RIP.

High praise from Bill Cosby back in 2011:

Wasn't this guy on every other episode of Scooby Doo playing multiple characters?
