Career
Ventriloquist work The ventriloquist figures for which he was best known include Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead Smiff. Both figures were carved by Chicago-based figure maker Frank Marshall. His first series as a ventriloquist was actually on radio with Mahoney in 1943; the program was short-lived, as he was overshadowed by Edgar Bergen, though radio historian John Dunning, in his 1998 tome On the Air: The Encyclopedia of Old Time Radio, thought Winchell was the better ventriloquist.

Voice-over work His later career included a great deal of voice-over acting for animated cartoons, notably for Disney and Hanna-Barbera. For the latter, he played the character Dick Dastardly in several series (notably Wacky Races and Dastardly and Muttley), Fleegle on The Banana Splits Adventure Hour, and Gargamel on The Smurfs.

For Disney, he was best known for voicing the character of Tigger from Disney's Winnie the Pooh films, and won a Grammy for his performance in Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too. Beginning with the television series The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, he alternated in the role with Jim Cummings, the current voice of Pooh. Following Winchell's retirement, Cummings permantly took over the role starting with The Tigger Movie in 2000 (though Winchell played Tigger one last time in a Walt Disney World Pooh attraction). Other Disney roles included parts in The Aristocats as a Chinese cat and The Fox and the Hound as Boomer the woodpecker. On TV, he played Zummi Gummi on Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears, and in commercials, voiced the Scrubbing Bubbles for Dow Chemicals. He also did the voice of Fearless Freddy the Shark Hunter on the Pink Panther cartoon spin-off Misterjaw in 1976. Tigger is a fictional tiger character originally introduced in A. A. Milnes book, The House at Pooh Corner. ...

Winchell's most successful TV show was "Winchell-Mahoney Time" (1965-1968), a highly-imaginative kids' show. Winchell played several onscreen characters, including Knucklehead Smiff's father, as well as himself, as friend and adult advisor to Mahoney and Smiff.
The show was produced at KTTV-TV, in Los Angeles, which was owned by Metromedia. In 1986, Winchell sued Metromedia over syndication rights to 288 surviving video tapes of the show. Metromedia responded by destroying the tapes. Subsequently, a jury awarded Winchell $17.8 million.

Personal life Winchell was interested and involved in technology - particularly the Internet - right up to the time of his death. He created and maintained a personal website until 2004. For a short time he operated the now-defunct website ProtectGod.com, which discussed the theology of the latter years of his life.
He had five children: a son Stacy Paul Winchell and a daughter Stephanie from his first marriage to Dorothy (Dottie) Movitz, a daughter April Winchell, a comedian and voice actress, from his second marriage, to actress Nina Russel, and two step-sons Larry and Keith Freeman from his third marriage, to Jean Freeman. April Terri Winchell (born on January 4, 1960 in New York City, New York, USA) is an American actress, writer, voice actress, radio talk show host, and commentator living in the greater Los Angeles area. ...
Winchell's autobiography, Winch (2004), exposed many dark areas of Winchell's life, which had hitherto been kept private. The autobiography opened old wounds within the Winchell family, prompting daughter April to publicly defend her mother who was negatively portrayed in the book. Winchell estranged his children, who were not immediately notified of his death, as indicated by a message on April's website: "T.T.F.N. I got a phone call a few minutes ago, telling me that my father passed away yesterday. A source close to my dad, or at least, closer than I was, decided to tell me himself, instead of letting me find out on the news, which I appreciate. Apparently a decision had been made not to tell me, or my father's other children. My father was a very troubled and unhappy man. If there is another place after this one, it is my hope that he now has the peace that eluded him on earth." The year 2004 in literature involved some significant events and new books. ...
Trivia - Howard Stern revealed in March 2006 that he carries a picture of Paul Winchell (and Knucklehead Smiff) around with him at all times.
- Held patents for the first artificial heart, a see-through garter belt, a flameless cigarette lighter, and a fountain pen with a retractable tip. Unfortunately for Paul, he never patented his disposable razor, thinking that no one would have a use for it.[citation needed]
- Created "Oswald": a surreal character by painting eyes and a nose on his chin, covering his face with a small costume, then having the camera inverted. The resulting pinheaded character seemed to have an immensely wide mouth and an amazingly mobile head; Winchell created this illusion by moving his chin back and forth.
- John Fiedler, who voiced Piglet in the Winnie the Pooh films, died on June 25, 2005 - the day after Winchell's death.
