Title: Tim Conway dead at 85
Post by: fifth_column on May 14, 2019, 01:13:21 PM: Tim Conway was one of my favorite comedians growing up. I have many fond memories of watching him on the Carol Burnett show, and the various children's movies he performed in. RIP . . . .

One of the funniest men ever to have lived.
From back when comedians were actually funny.
His dentist skit on carol Burnett was some of the funniest physical comedy ever. He and Harvey Korman did some funny stuff.

Very sad in many ways as Tim was something of a "poster boy" from an era of comedy it seems we won't see again. Funny in everything he was in, and a great component of the Carol Burnett Show, where they made you absolutely crack up without a single F bomb. You could really tell how much those people enjoyed their work from all the involuntary giggles during skits. Tim was especially good at cracking up the other cast members.

Again, RIP to a great comedian, and, it seems, an equally good human being.

He was one of the greats and very, very humble about it. I miss actual comedy.

Rest in peace, Mr. Conway. You'll be making me laugh for years to come, still.
