Tim Conway was known for his side-splittingly hilarious stunts that he often caused co-star Harvey Korman to begin laughing in the middle of a skit. Tim was known for ad-libbing bits that would challenge his co-stars too.
For more than a decade starting in 1967, Carol Burnett and a cast of her funny friends – including Tim, Vicki Lawrence, Harvey Korman, and Lyle Waggoner – created a variety show that would become an icon of American television.
For his part, over his long career Tim was nominated for 13 Emmys and won six. For “The Carol Burnett Show,” he was nominated six times as a supporting performer in a variety or comedy series.
When he passed away last year at the age of 86, Carol said, “I’m heartbroken. He was one in a million, not only as a brilliant comedian but as a loving human being,” She added, “I cherish the times we had together both on the screen and off. He’ll be in my heart forever.”
The tribute includes skits from the episodes of The Monkey Man, where he turns into a monkey while asking to marry a man’s daughter, The Intercom (Mrs. Wiggins and Mr. Tudball), and even The Dentist skit.
With a deceptive smile and an utter devotion to comedy, Tim was among Hollywood’s most enduringly talented actors. What a gift he brought to millions of people with his ability to make them laugh. Laughter truly is the best medicine.
Then our mouths were filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” Psalms 126:2
