Welcome to Litsy!

Comic and television star Tim Conway (McHale�s Navy, The Carol Burnett Show, The Apple Dumpling Gang) enjoyed enormous popular appeal, including a wide readership for his best-selling memoir, What�s So Funny? In her own humorous, loving, and surprising memoir, Tim�s eldest child, Kelly, reveals that the Conway home life was as riotous and engaging as some of her father�s best-known comedy sketches. Kelly Conway allows readers an intimate look at a supremely American childhood, from the studios of Television City in Los Angeles to the midwestern pleasures of her mom and dad�s hometowns. My Dad�s Funnier Than Your Dad is her love letter to her father and mother, as well as an account of the warm, laugh-filled world in which she spent her childhood. The book portrays a Cheaper by the Dozen�style upbringing, when she and her five younger brothers spent their lives playing together within a protective cocoon of affection and love. Her dad acted as the ringmaster of their circus. What kind of dad builds his kids a go-cart track in the backyard of his Encino residence by himself, not hiring a crew of professionals to do it? How about a dad that circles the block when his kids go off to their first day of grade school, fretting and fussing that they�re okay away from home? What can you say about a famous father who lived not for his celebrity but kept himself firmly grounded in family? While not all puppy dogs and rainbows�the Conways divorced when the author was seventeen�this is nevertheless a warm-hearted memoir of a man who was as funny off the set as on.
