Jonathan Winters Roasts Johnny Carson

Jonathan Winters roasts Johnny Carson in farmer's overalls, playing one of the rural characters from his improvised comedy. Winters was a favorite guest on The Tonight Show, and his unpredictable, character-driven style turns the roast into a free-wheeling performance aimed at his longtime host.
