I knew his name and what he looked like as soon as you posted, Matata, but I had to look up his biography to see the name of the show I knew him from. I didn't remember seeing him on "The Carol Burnett Show", which I rarely if ever watched. I remembered seeing him as a sailor. I refreshed my memory and realized that I used to watch "McHale's Navy" when I was a child. I remembered him as Ensign Parker.

"Conway’s career had first been jump-started by the World War II-set sitcom “McHale’s Navy,” starring Ernest Borgnine. He played the bumbling, naive Ensign Charles Parker, executive officer of the PT-73, on 138 episodes of the show (1962-66), as well as the two feature films based on it, receiving his first Emmy nomination for his performance in 1963."

Noooo!
Such sad news!
I remember him from Mchale's Navy, and of course the Carol Burnet Show.
So talented!
I still watch reruns of Carol Burnet on MeTV. Still so funny, after all these years.

The skits he did on the Carol Burnett show were The most hilarious things I ever saw. He brought so much joy into the world. RIP.

HI:

SO FUNNY. With such skill, he (by definition) "dead-panned" like few others. Pleasure to watch.

RIP.

kind regards--Sharon

Those four were just perfect with the way they played off of each other. Simply hilarious and somehow funnier the older I get?

RIP Tim Conway and many, many thanks for all the laughs!

RIP Tim Conway! He was definitely one of the best. Most of those Carol Burnett skits were hilarious and I especially loved it when they all started laughing. He truly brought some joy and laughs to the world.
