About this listen

Six-time Emmy Award-winning funnyman Tim Conway, best known for his characters 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 television history, few entertainers have captured as many hearts and made as many people laugh as Tim Conway.

There's nothing in the world that Tim Conway would rather do than entertain - and in his first-ever memoir, What's So Funny?, that's exactly what he does. From his pranks in small Ohio classrooms to his performances on national television and movies, Tim has been cracking people up for more than seventy years. Long regarded as one of the funniest comedians around, Tim also boasts an inspiring rags-to-riches story.

What's So Funny? captures Tim's journey from life as an only child raised by loving but outrageous parents in small-town Ohio during the Great Depression, to his tour of duty in the Army - which would become training for his later role in McHale's Navy - to his ascent as a national star and household name. By tracing his early path, this audiobook reveals the origins of many of Tim's unforgettable characters - from Mr. Tudball and the Oldest Man to Mickey Hart to everyone's favorite, Dorf.

What's So Funny? shares the hilarious accounts of the glory days of The Carol Burnett Show and his famous partnerships with entertainment greats like Harvey Korman, Don Knotts, Dick Van Dyke, Betty White, Vicki Lawrence, Bob Newhart, and of course, Carol Burnett. As a bonus, listeners will enjoy never-before-shared stories of hilarious behind-the-scenes antics on McHale's Navy and The Carol Burnett Show.

A trip down memory lane

We used to watch Carol Burnett Show weekly and I loved Tim Conway. We owned Dorf on Golf and I learned Mr. Tudballs accent. I've been rewatching some of the sketches on You Tube since listening to this. Interesting to hear the mind behind those outrageous comedy performances.

“Tommy”Conway A most genuine human being turned funny man

A great listen,start to finish. Tim Conway was as many know a very fun and fun loving man. Ensign Charles Parker(McHales Navy), the Carol Burnett Show and perhaps best of all that evening in the majestic Orpheus Theatre in Vancouver British Columbia Canada Conway and his life long buddy and himself a funny man Harvey Korman in concert. The duo performed all the skits and then some and lest I forget an emphatic YES Conway with great ease broke Korman into laughter during the show. Thanks for the laughs and great memories “Tommy”Conway, and special thanks to his creators “Sophia” and “Dan” Conway.
