Damn. One of the funniest guys on TV ever.
Damn. One of the funniest guys on TV ever.
One of the funniest human beings, ever.
The dentist sketch with Harvey Korman is one of the best combinations of improvisation and mime ever. Only found out today that Korman wet his pants trying, but failing, to refrain from laughing during the skit. Performing with Conway must have been such fun, but the ultimate professional challenge.
Conway's Siamese circus elephant story, with Vicki Lawrence's straight-faced reaction may be the second funniest TV skit ever.
FYI, the Carol Burnett Show is now on Prime. Watched the first one last night (Lucille Ball as guest star), and Tim Conway was merely a secondary cast member. He made an impact, quickly.

Dorf's golf tips were always funny.

Another FYI...your kids may have enjoyed Tim Conway just as much as you, as they watched Spongebob Squarepants.
He and Ernest Borgnine voiced Mermaid Man (Borgnine) and Barnacle Boy, a parody of Aquaman/ Batman and Robin. They were old geezers in the ocean, fighting crime, ironically often making fun of memory loss.
Both were hilarious in their roles.

RIP, indeed. Damn funny man.
He will be missed, for sure. What a hilarious guy!

I hate to be the guy starting these threads, but My Goodness!!!
I loved Tim Conway! He was so integral to The Carol Burnett Show, and half the time I just watched to see how long Harvey Korman could keep a straight face in a skit with him.
R.I.P.
Edit: Here's one one of the best TV clips of all time:
There's also the elephant story, The Old Man, Mr. Hwiggins, ...

And he didn't have to have a filthy mouth or put down people or things to be funny.
And he didn’t have try to kill our president either....R.I. P. Funny man
So sad. RIP.
