What's So Funny?
What's So Funny?: My Hilarious Life | Tim Conway, Jane Scovell
4 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
Six-time Emmy Award-winning funny man Tim Conway, best known for his roles on The Carol Burnett Show, offers a straight-shooting and hilarious memoir about his life on stage and off as an actor and comedian. In the annals of TV history, few entertainers have captured as many hearts, tickled as many funny bones, and brought as many families together in living rooms across America as Tim Conway. In Whats So Funny? he brings his hilarious hijinks from the screen to the page. Conways often-improvised humor, razor-sharp timing, and hilarious characters have made him one of the funniest and most authentic performers to grace the stage and studio. As Carol Burnett has said, theres no one funnier than Tim Conway. Now, Conway takes us on a seventy-year, rags-to-riches journey that is touchingly comical and ultimately inspiring, from his pranks in small Ohio classrooms during the Great Depression to his pitch-perfect performances on national TV and in major motion pictures. Along the way, Conway shares hilarious and often moving accounts of the glory days of The Carol Burnett Show; his famous partnerships with entertainment greats like Harvey Korman, Don Knotts, and Dick Van Dyke; and his friendships with stars like Betty White, Bob Newhart, and, of course, Carol Burnett, who also provides an intimate foreword to the book. As Conway continues to tour the country giving live comedy performances that enchant his always eager audiences, Whats So Funny? brings his warmth, humor, and heart to delight and inspire fans everywhere.

Anytime I need a smile, I hop on YouTube to watch those now famous Tim Conway skits from The Carol Burnett Show. (“The Dentist” is still my favorite!) This comedian was a hoot and would do anything (and I mean anything!) to get people to laugh. Lots of hilarious stories here from a sweet and zany man who loved to crack us up. I forgot he had his own TV show and also wrote several screenplays. Very entertaining read!

MemoirsForMe @TheAromaofBooks The funniest! 😁 8mo

Here's one of the many new stacks of books from my Santa Barbara trip. These are the bios and memoirs I just HAD to add to my collection. You could say I gravitate toward celebs, writers and comedians. Tim Conway didn't fit in the photo. 😀
