Tim Conway, who won four Emmy Awards for his work on Carol Burnett's TV variety show, has died. He was 85.

May 14, 2019

A native of Ohio, Conway credited his Midwestern roots for putting him on the right path to laughs, with his deadpan expression and innocent, simple-minded demeanor. The show operated with just five writers, one producer, one director and without network interference. The ensemble cast surrounding the redheaded star included Vicki Lawrence and Lyle Waggoner.

Besides the four Emmys he won with Burnett , he won Emmys for guest appearances in 1996 for “Coach” and in 2008 for “30 Rock.” He also found success in the 1980s in a series of comedy videos based on an oddly short character named Dorf. Among them were “Dorf on Golf” and “Dorf Goes Fishing.”

RIP Tim, I have so many good memories of him

BurnettGeeks I had the honor of seeing both TimConway & HarveyKorman in person in Pittsburgh doing a live show. They were hilarious & Mr. Conway could STILL crack up Mr. Korean in skits, including 'The Dentist.' My heart breaks at the loss of such a talented, lovely man. 💔💔

Heaven just got a lot funnier. RIP, Tim...

One of my favorites, though he was a bit before my time. Thank you for all the laughs, Tim Conway. ❤️

RIP you hilarious bastard. I know you're giggling and breaking character in a better place.

So sad

TheBuffaloNews 😞 I grew up watching him on the Carol Burnett show; him, Carol and Harvey were the best together! They tried so hard not to laugh themselves during their skits. Loved Tim Conway. RIP. At least the people in heaven will laugh

Rest well Dorf

Sad to lose “a fellow of infinite jes.”

Rest In Peace Tim, you have so much laughter to the world! You will be missed.

It is very sad that I thought he died long ago. These bright stars that burn in our past are normal people. When age rolls in, they disappear from our admiration absent the screen. I am thankful for his life, humor & selfishly for the joy he brought in our day to day family life.

Incredible comedian.condolences to his family.

When families sat together at dinner and talked then watched tv after dishes were washed and put away. Thank you for the laughs Mr. Conway. ❤️

Grew up watching him on Carol Burnett's show. He taught me how to belly laugh. How sad to lose him.

Sad to hear the passing of two of the greats.....there will be one more. Hollywood deaths always come in threes😢

Really sad to lose such a funny personality. I still watch his performances on YouTube and laugh until I cry. RIP Mr Conway. I am sure God is laughing at this moment as you and Harvey are doing something funny.

He's reducing Harvey Korman to helpless laughter somewhere as we speak

Oh... RIP Mr. Conway! You brought many laughs to my life!

Doris Day & Tim Conway.....sad week :(
