Jonathan stars in CERTIFIABLY JONATHAN, a hybrid comedy/documentary that weaves in and out of the bipolar and surreal world of Jonathan Winters.

CERTIFIABLY JONATHAN is about 85-year-old iconic comic genius Jonathan
Winters, a gifted painter who dreams of having his paintings hang in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. An art critic discovers him, and the Museum invites Jonathan to be part of an exhibition—a dream come true! Disaster strikes when Jonathan thinks he has lost his sense of humor and can no longer paint. Sarah Silverman, Howie Mandel, Nora Dunn, Tim Conway, Jeffrey Tambor and many others show up to help him get his mojo back. Winters’ comedic genius and popularity has stood the test of time as the film’s newly founded Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/certifiablyjonathan) has proven by quickly surpassing 120,000 fans in a matter of five months. Winters appeared on the national comedy scene in the early 1950’s when he landed his first TV series on NBC. He made frequent appearances on The Tonight Show, leading Emmy Magazine to name him the show’s “All-Time Number One Guest.” His many film appearances include IT’S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD and THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING! and THE LOVED ONE established his comedic brilliance and universally appreciated humor. The beloved comedian won an Emmy Award
for DAVIS RULES and he is the voice of Papa Smurf in the upcoming film adaptation of the hit animated television series THE SMURFS. Additional accolades include a Grammy Award, a Golden Globe nomination and the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
