8. Thank you Tim Conway!

I have loved this guy's comedic talent going back to his stint on McHale's Navy, but his work with Carol, Harvey, Vicky cannot be beat. Always could bring a belly laugh from me. Rest In Peace Tim Conway.

30. I LOVED Saturday Night Live back in the '70s.

Now I watch those same shows on Netflix, and they just seem terribly dated and not particularly funny to me. A lot of drug humor, "edgy" sexual references, and riffs on pop culture that no one understands anymore.

But the Carol Burnett Show... those skits still have me laughing out loud. Those skits will never get old, because they were all just naturally funny people.

9. Thanks, Tim.

You sure made my life funnier!

[Auggie]

perhaps not as famous or legendary, but every bit as inventive and funny.

Conway imitated another PT captain, yup, the captain of PT-109.

(1961 or 1962)

This makes me so sad.

39. Cleveland legend Ghoulardi had some good...

...Tim Conway stories in his book about late night live tv in the '60s. I remember one about Conway's Corvair that only had first gear.

I was a huge fan of his growing up in that era of television. These are the people I wished I'd hung out with.
