I'm going to see Carol Burnett in Raleigh Friday night (if she doesn't postpone because of this). Looking forward to hearing some great stories about Conway.

My favorite character. Sad to hear this.

Tim Conway causing Harvey Korman to struggle to stay in character without cracking up is some of the funniest stuff ever on TV! One of the best is gone.

She's in Charlotte tonight. Then in Raleigh Friday.

Will, no doubt, be an emotional performance for her tonight. And very difficult.

It's going to be a rough next 10 years. Lots of living comedy legends are up there like Burnett and Van Dyke. Jerry Lewis just a couple of years ago. Lots of physical comedy greats are now in their 80s and 90s.

That entire Burnett troupe was just amazing for so many years. I don't think I remembered that Tim didn't become a regular cast member until the final years of the show until the news today. He was a guest so often I just always assumed he was full cast all those years.

RIP Tim. Thanks for the laughs.

For those interested, KFI in LA is doing a tribute show tonight on the Tim Conway JR. Show.

I somehow stumbled on the Tim Junior show a few years ago and listen often. It's obvious where he gets the talent.

Real shame that some of the younger Ags have never experienced or don't care to experience that humor...watching those guys trying to stay in character would make me tear up laughing.

My family and I always loved/love his pure clean comedy. Sadly, they don't make'em like him anymore

Its so great when this happens, not just Tim and Harvey but any pairing such as Chris Farley and David Spade. Once Harvey starts to break, he is absolutely helpless. He's totally at the mercy of Tim. They both know what's coming, but only Tim knows when, and the anticipation just eats up Harvey.
