First, Beilein leaves. Now, Tim Conway dies. What's next? Keith Jackson dying?
No way, I think Keith will live forever.
"Hello, Heisman" and "Whoa, Nellie" will live forever.
The back story is that he hasn't heard from his golf buddy Keith Jackson for weeks and then the Doris Day news just hit him hard......
Doris Day, Tim Conway... Betty White has just locked herself in her bathroom for a couple days.
Our pets' heads are falling off!?!
RIP indeed - brought a lot of joy to millions. Great physical/facial comic.
Sad. He was my late mother's favorite comedian and she'd watch the Carol Burnett show on Saturday nights without fail just for his skits. I remember watching her laugh so hard she could barely breath whenever he did something.
RIP Tim. Say hi to Caroline and tell her Donald misses her if you see her.
If you have MeTV in your area, usually a subchannel... like 20.2 in Denver where I'm at, the Carol Burnett show plays daily. Love it. Funny stuff.
My late mom loved Carol Burnett as well. She was a Harvey Korman fan and thought the Korman/Conway skits we the funniest thing ever.
He was funny. Not sure if Dorf holds up these days. Back in the day though.
Holds up fer me.
If it doesn't hold up it's because people have been accustomed to folks like Kat Williams and Lisa Lampanelli passing as comedy nowadays.
Not the Dorf on Golf guy?? NOOOOOO!!!!!
If you are old enough to remember, he used to be able to just stare at Harvey Korman in ways to make Harvey lose it right on live TV.
You know you are a legendary talent when you can make another well accomplished comedian piss his pants on live TV any number of times.
And for the kids. All without swearing.
Right you are.
Funny man. RIP
For those of you that are a little older, you remember he was hilarious on The Carol Burnett Show, as Dorf, or in various movies (see The Longshot if you haven't- it's incredibly funny).
For the younger crowd, you'll know him as the voice of Barnacle Boy in Spongebob Squarepants.
Great comedian....RIP, sir.
this was going to be my next CC
You could go with Don Rickles.
My dad always loved him, so we'd watch the highlight/ reunion shows when I was a kid. He was so funny. R.i.p.
First time I recall seeing him on TV was in McHale's Navy. Have loved him ever since. One of the truly funny guys ever.
Edit: His skit as a dentist with Harvey Korman is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
Same here in regards to McHale's Navy. His routines with Capt. Binghamton on the show were side-splitting.
RIP Ensign Parker
Great comedian. His dentist skit is a classic.
The dentist skit had my dad rolling on the floor.

The Dentist sketch...for those too young to have seen it, or those old enough to want to see it again.
Nice. Harvey Korman can’t stop laughing.
Uh-oh. Celebrity deaths happen in 3's. Morgan Freeman is in trouble this time.
Peggy Lipton, Doris Day, Tim Conway. RIP
Yeah...Peggy Lipton. Back in the day this teenage boy thought she was HOT! Where the fuck has the time gone?
Hes prepping to film Dorf On Heaven now , RIP
I grew up with Tim Conway.
He probably made me laugh more than anyone that I've ever seen.
This is a huge shock as he was very young when I remember him.
One of the best golfers ever! RIP
Loved his humility and family-friendly humor. If you've never seen it, Don Knotts and Conway in 1980's The Private Eyes is a fun watch with the family. He'll be missed.
Avatar no longer checks out.
I know...I can barely look Avatar Me in the mirror...I feel dirty. I'm pretty sure it's the Dan Gilbert part. We all know that Dan is that guy that doesn't wash his damn hands.
Had the opportunity to sit down and talk to him at the Del Mar race track. Very nice and classy guy.
Tim Conway was one of the all time greats.
Bob Newhart seems to have been forgotten but he had some of the funniest skits (audio) ever. Also, Bill Cosby had truly hilarious bits. (I know he's apparently turned out to be a scum bag but he was still a comic genius.)
Interesting that all of them were all able to be hilarious and still be completely clean. They were simply fundamentally funny people.
Agreed to all mentioned.
I would also add Jonathan Winters to that group- pure comedic geniuses
Dick Shawn. Died way too young. Who else could have pulled off a comic Hitler?
"She loves me she loves me nicht."
No argument here. I've seen that before and it is roll on the floor funny every time.
Presented without comment. You'll probably fall out of your chair like I did the first time I saw this sketch:
Thank you for sharing...hadn't seen that sketch. Great stuff!
So who do know that makes you laugh ... always... on camera. Bammm.....real talent
I think it was Conway who played Dorf, and did the video Dorf on Golf... hilarious when he had his lower legs buried in ground and would hit ball, then fall back... made me laugh out loud when I was a teenager..... RIP
