Although it's been on the air for almost 60 years, "The Tonight Show" has had just a handful of regular hosts: Steve Allen, JackPaar, Johnny Carson, Leno and O'Brien.
On Jack Paar's television show in 1964, Mr. Winters was handed a foot-long stick and he swiftly became a fisherman, violinist, lion tamer, canoeist, U.N. diplomat, bullfighter, flutist, delusional psychiatric patient, British headmaster and Bing Crosby's golf club.
He was a favorite guest on "The Tonight Show" -- particularly in the early '60s when JackPaar hosted it -- and turned up on the game show "The Hollywood Squares, " Dean Martin's celebrity roasts and countless variety shows.
