Jonathan Winters roasts Frank Sinatra on the Dean Martin Roasts TV show, 1978. With legends of the stage and screen gathered in the glittering Las Vegas hotel showroom, Jonathan Winters stood tall, armed with his razor-sharp wit, to roast none other than the Chairman of the Board himself, Frank Sinatra.

As the applause reverberated through the hallowed halls of the showroom, there stood Jonathan Winters, a comedic virtuoso known for his uncanny ability to improvise and a master of impersonations. The room was electric with anticipation, for no one knew what comedic gems he had in store.

Winters began with a smile, a twinkle in his eye, and a voice that could charm anyone into a fit of laughter. He regaled the audience with a fabricated tale that had everyone in stitches. He described how, while a driving the bus on a tour with Frank Sinatra, during a pit stop, Ol' Blue Eyes, in the midst of a driving snowstorm, Sinatra stumbled upon a forlorn puppy, abandoned and shivering. It was juxtaposed against Sinatra's tough-guy image.

But Winters wasn't finished. He also gave his attention to Sinatra's legendary career and his well-known songs, humorously reimagining some of them in his own finger-snapping style. Sinatra sat there with a grin, taking it all in stride, as Winters' whimsical storytelling had the audience in stitches.

In the true spirit of a roast, he gently teased Sinatra about the dog episode, showcasing the affectionate side of the man behind the iconic voice. It was a night that we remember with fondness, a night when Jonathan Winters turned the spotlight on Frank Sinatra at a Las Vegas hotel showroom, leaving us all with aching sides and cherished memories of that golden age of television.
