Subject: Tim Conway died. He was so funny. The Carol Burnett Show still holds up after all these years...

Tim Conway, Star of The Carol Burnett Show and McHale's Navy, Dead at 85
By Kimberly Roots / May 14 2019, 10:02 AM PDT





Tim Conway, a multiple Emmy winner and star of The Carol Burnett Show, died Tuesday in Los Angeles, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Conway, a prolific comedic actor was 85. He played Ensign Charles Parker on McHale’s Navy for that show’s four-season run and led his own eponymous series before guest-starring with Burnett’s troupe in 1975 and eventually joining the show as a series regular. While on Carol Burnett, he created wildly popular characters including Mr. Tudball and The Oldest Man, and Conway also prided himself on trying to make his co-stars crack up during sketches. In one such incident, Conway was fond of recalling, he caused castmate Harvey Korman to wet his pants from laughter.

Conway’s six-decade career included roles on Newhart; Married… With Children; Coach; Mad About You; Diagnosis Murder; Yes, Dear and CSI. In recent years, he booked guest spots on Mike & Molly, Glee, Hot in Cleveland and Melissa & Joey, among other series, and lent his voice to animated shows such as SpongeBob SquarePants, in which he voiced Barnacle Boy, and Dragons: Riders of Berk, in which he voiced Mulch. He won an Emmy in 2008 for playing Bucky Bright in an episode of 30 Rock; it was his fifth such award.
