REUTERS: Emmy-winning actor Tim Conway, who brought an endearing, free-wheeling goofiness to skits on The Carol Burnett Show that cracked up his cast mates as well as the audience, died on Tuesday at the age of 85, his publicist said.
He would find greater success in the comedy sketches on Burnett's show starting in 1968. He was at his best with characters that were a little naive, clumsy or slow-witted, and especially when teamed with straight man Harvey Korman and given the chance to show off his improvisational and slapstick skills.
"I think Conway's goal in life was to destroy Harvey," Burnett told the Television Academy Foundation.In one popular skit, Conway's portrayal of an inept dentist who accidentally injects himself with painkiller resulted in Korman, who was playing the patient, laughing so hard that he wet his pants, Burnett said.
"People have often asked me, 'If you weren't in show business, what would you be doing?'" Conway wrote in his memoir What's So Funny?: My Hilarious Life. "The truth is I don't think there's anything else I could be doing so the answer would have to be, nothing ... I guess you could say I'm in the only business I could be in."
