Jonathan Winters "The Stick"

Comic genius and legend Jonathan Winters doing 4 minutes of improv with a stick on The Jack Paar Program in 1964. Jonathan Winters was a huge influence on comedians like Robin Williams and you can really see it here.

Yes, he was great. But, do you really think that was unscripted improv? Why does Jack just happen to have a stick?
I was at an improv theater last weekend, I witnessed the performers regurgitating rehearsed schtick to the beat of topics thrown out by audience plants or groupies saying the right words to trigger the obvious and easy jokes, and the props around the stage looked like they had been there for years, the performers searched for them.
It was a lot of fun, but it wasnt improvised.
