Tim Conway, World's Oldest Man, dead at 85

Tim Conway died today at age 85. I didn't see a thread on him -- he was probably at his height in the 1970s, so it's very possible he's just not on the radar of a lot of people here.
Arguably the funniest comedic actor ever, I loved him most in The Carol Burnett Show

He was also half of The Apple Dumpling Gang with Don Knotts. If you haven't had a chance to check him out, or if you just let memories of him fade, I highly recommend checking out videos of him.

Or maybe you have another old comic actor or skit you really love?

    It seemed like he hit it big in the 70s and then he did small stuff after that.

    I grew up with the Carol Burnett Show and I loved both him and Harvey Korman.

    Conway was also in ablittle known movie called Private Eyes with Don Knotts. Its pretty much forgotten, but I saw it in theaters andbstill love it to this day. Its basically a spoof of all those Agathat Christie type murder mystery movies.

    Tim Conway was in an episode of the new scooby doo movies as himself as a high school coach because he was trying to get experience for serious acting roles.

    Dorf may or may not have had any impact on Pinfeldorf.
