He frequently got into arguments with host [[Nicholas Parsons]] and other guests on the show. ([[Russell Davies]], editor of ''The Kenneth Williams Letters'', explains that Williams's "famous tirades on the programme occurred when his desire to entertain was fuelled by his annoyance."<ref>{{cite book|editor-last=Davies|editor-first=Russell |title=The Kenneth Williams Letters|date=1994|publisher=HarperCollins|page=101}}</ref>) He was also remembered for such phrases as "I've come all the way from Great Portland Street" (i.e. one block away) and "They shouldn't have women on the show!" (directed at [[Sheila Hancock]], [[Aimi MacDonald]] and others).<ref>''Welcome to Just A Minute!'' {{ISBN|9781782112471}}</ref> He once talked for almost a minute about a supposed Austrian psychiatrist called Heinrich Swartzberg, correctly guessing that the show's creator, [[Ian Messiter]], had just made the name up.<ref>Ian Messiter, ''My Life and Other Games'', 1990, {{ISBN|1-872180-61-2}}</ref> Williams was also a regular on the [[BBC Radio]] comedy show ''[[Round the Horne]],'' playing, alongside [[Hugh Paddick]], the characters [[Julian and Sandy]] who spoke in a comedic version of [[Polari]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Julian and Sandy |date=22 March 2019 |url=https://wp.lancs.ac.uk/fabulosa/games/ }}</ref>
