IMO, THE funniest person who ever lived (that I've ever seen).

Yep, I remember when he first started. Very funny. Tough business. You have to come up with something different to stand out from the rest. I put him in there with Robin Williams and the plastic man, Jim Carrey.

I still think one of his best performances was in Mad, Mad, Mad World.

I will never forget JW during his performances on the Carol Burnett show. Whether he played a dentist who accidently injected himself multiple times, or an old man falling down the stairs in slow motion, my family and I laughed ourselves to tears.

A sad loss. He was without a doubt one of the most creative comedians in history. May he Rest in Peace, the years of laughter he brought will not be forgotten.
