Jonathan Winters for Hefty
|
From an Aug. 2000 interview -- Comedian Jonathan Winters, a man so talented he can do credible impressions of a chicken or an egg, finds himself at age 74 lamenting the demise of "clowns" and the rise of "freaks" in the center ring of popular culture.
Drawing a parallel between the circus sideshows of yesteryear and lurid scenes of TV confession and confrontation orchestrated by the likes of Jerry Springer, Winters said he is sometimes appalled at what passes for entertainment today. "Now the freaks are on television, the freaks are in the movies," he said. "And it's no longer the sideshow, it's the whole show. The colorful circus and the clowns and the elephants, for all intents and purposes, are gone, and we're dealing only with the freaks."
Winters sees political correctness and racial polarization as having left Americans increasingly uneasy with one another, to the point where "we have started to lose our humor. Not just jokes. I mean humor, period." "We are so terribly afraid of each other," he said. "We now in America are the most paranoid group of people."
