He also appeared in classic episode of 'The Dick Van Dyke Show' with Mary Tyler Moore that is now in the Smithsonian.
Dick Curtis, best known as being Jonathan Winters‘ straight man on The Jonathan Winters Show, has died at the age of 95.
Curtis was a regular performer on Winters’ self-titled variety show, which ran for two seasons from 1967-1969, as the host’s straight man — the person in a comedy duo whose lines give a comedian the opportunity to make jokes. Curtis starred in the animated series Motormouse and Autocat and also appeared in The Dick Van Dyke Show in a memorable episode featuring Mary Tyler Moore that is now in the Smithsonian.
Curtis can also be seen in The Andy Griffith Show, That Girl, Motel Hell, Support Your Local Gun Fighter, Captain Nice , The Odd Couple, and more. He also wrote for Revue ’61 and The Spade Cooley Show. His last on-screen credit was 1984’s What Waits Below.
