RIP Tim Conway

[Alkali Ike]

I just read that Tim Conway passed away today.

Tim Conway, Star of The Carol Burnett Show, Dies at 85

The beloved actor is best known for his work on The Carol Burnett Show, winning viewers over with characters like the Oldest Man and Mr. Tudball, whose accent he has said was inspired by his Romanian mother. He was known to ad-lib his sketches — even surprising his scene partners — and won a Golden Globe Award for the series in 1976, along with Emmys in 1973, 1977 and 1978.

Sorry to hear. Always cracked me up when he broke up the other cast members. Reminds me that Lyle Waggoner taught me to play harmonica in the late 1970s.

He and the rest of that cast were just gold. RIP, Tim.

Dang... :::sadface::: He was one of the good guys. A great physical comedian who always knew how to get to the humanity beneath a schtick.

So long Tim, thanks for the laughs!

 

[Stumbo]

Don't forget McHale's Navy with Ernest Borgnine! RIP, Mr. Conway. It's been fun.

And, Ernie, so awesome, RIP.

Watching him and Korman try to crack each other up was always entertaining and Korman usually lost those battles

So sorry to hear. R.I.P. Tim

Tim was also the voice of Barnacle Boy on SpongeBob SquarePants and Ernest Borgnine was the voice of Mermaid Man.

His "Siamese elephants" is one of my favorites.

Tim Conway and Don Knotts were in The Apple Dumpling Gang & The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again movies together. Two very funny men.

Watch this part to the end.

Always reminds me of growing up. I remember Saturday night at home armed with snacks and sodas. We'd watch the Carol Burnett Show without fail, and to this day, still love that good, clean humor. (With the occasional trace of bawdiness and innuendo thrown in for good measure!)

Great show, and Mr Conway was one of the biggest reasons it was a great show.

One time, Tim Conway was on the Tonight Show, and he told a joke I still remember. He said, “I’m Catholic, but I have no rhythm. I cannot dance, and that is also why I have eleven children.”

If you don’t get it, do some research. I know what I posted cannot match how Tim Conway said it. R.I.P.

Maybe the best that ever was. He and Harvey Korman were comedic genius. The dentist sketch and the Siamese elephant sketch were classic Conway. RIP thanks for the best real belly laughs of all time.

The dentist sketch is what I immediately thought of when I heard that he died. Oh man, iconic part of my childhood growing up watching him.

Best timing in the business.... ever.

My mother and I used to be in tears laughing at the Carol Burnett Show. And Mr.Conway would even have the rest of the cast in stitches.

Thank you for the laughs, sir.
