Tim Conway passed away at age 85. He was so funny to watch on the Carol Burnett show. Thanks for the laughs.
As we get older, many people we used to know and watch pass away. Sad. Thank you Mr. Conway for the laughs.
Aww… so sad. He was very clever. RIP, Tim.
Thankfully YouTube allows my generation to enjoy the comedic brilliance that was Tim. 2 of my favorites:
The Dentist:

No! I loved Tim Conway. ?
I loved Tim Conway on the Carol Burnett show.
I loved Tim Conway too. @skieurope I also like The Dentist. Fortunately the one I married was more competent, but he cracks me up too.
RIP Tim.
CNN showed the dentist skit as part of the announcement. That was and is still so funny.
I can’t even tell you how many times he had me laughing so hard I had tears. Now just tears. RIP Mr. Tim Conway.
he was my favorite comedian as a kid watching the Carol Burnett show. I loved it when he would deadpan his skit and none of the other cast members could hold their laughter. I liked him as the boss who looked like Hitler and Carol as the secretary the best.
Very sad to hear of the passing of a guy who made so many people laugh. I heard several of his interviews over the years, and it became clear that much of his stuff was simply amusing himself along the way.
The old man sketch was originally intended to be 8 minutes, but he improv’ed his way to making it 23 minutes.

Watching him get Harvey Korman to crack up was almost funnier than whatever skit they were doing.
Somewhere I read that the only one he couldn’t get was Vicki Lawrence; or at least he couldn’t get her very often. Allegedly she rarely broke up. She said as the least experienced actor, she was terrified to break character before she’d actually earned her stripes with such a stellar cast of veterans.
My father resembled Tim Conway in looks, mannerisms, and sense of humor. And…my father sometimes referred to my mother as “Doris Day’s sister”.
Must me a tough week for you, @Mansfield
One of my all time favorites, and from what you read, a very nice man! RIP
@cgpm59 Absolutely 100%. Watching Harvey bust up and Tim going the extra mile to keep it going was some of the funniest stuff I remember on TV. Improv is great with a genius like Tim Conway.
Funniest man in the world.
A few family members knew him personally awhile back and say he was as nice as he appears, a great guy.
Great comedian who appealed to all generations while still staying PG.
