BREAKING: Tim Conway, who made generations laugh on TV shows like 'McHale's Navy' and 'The Carol Burnett Show', has died at age 85, publicist says.
Tim Conway, who made generations of Americans laugh on TV shows such as"McHale's Navy" and"The Carol Burnett Show," died Tuesday morning, his publicist said., most recently in 2008 for his role as a guest star in the comedy show"30 Rock."
The actor's first big break in Hollywood came on"McHale's Navy," when Conway was cast to play Ensign Charles Parker. He was nominated for a best supporting actor Emmy in 1963.But he'll probably be best known for his work on"Carol Burnett," the iconic 1970s sketch comedy show that included the likes of Burnett, Conway, Harvey Korman, Lyle Waggoner and Vicki Lawrence.
Tim Conway and Carol Burnett share a laugh during the taping of the final episode of "The Carol Burnett Show" in 1978.Conway won Emmys for best supporting performer in 1973, 1977 and 1978 from his"Burnett" work."He was one in a million, not only as a brilliant comedian but as a loving human being. I cherish the times we had together both on the screen and off. He’ll be in my heart forever.
Even after his time on"Burnett," Conway kept working and remained a relevant comedy force. In the 1980s, he produced a series of popular comedy VHS tapes with the character"Dorf," a diminutive persona that hilariously tried to teach viewers how to play golf and baseball. He later made an impact on later generations as the voice of Barnacle Boy on the popular animated series"Sponge Bob Square Pants."
