I think of Oscar Levant and Jonathan Winters. Such remarkable comic genius....living on a tightrope.

I always thought Jonathon Winters was brilliant. I did see how some folks could be put off, but I appreciated his humor.

I never ran into Levant to my knowledge.

BTW: Winters was a known manic depressive.
