JUST IN: Tim Conway, who won four Emmy Awards on Carol Burnett's TV variety show, has died at 85.

Tim Conway, the impish second banana to Carol Burnett who won four Emmy Awards on her TV variety show, starred aboard"McHale's Navy" and later voiced the role of Barnacle Boy for"Spongebob Squarepants," has died. He was 85.

Those qualities probably contributed to his wide popularity on"The Carol Burnett Show," which he joined in 1975 after years as a frequent guest. The show aired on CBS from 1967 to 1978 and had a short summer stint on ABC in 1979. While America was laughing at Conway, so were his co-stars: Burnett and Harvey Korman were often caught by the camera trying not to crack up during his performances.

"The Apple Dumpling Gang" and"Cannonball Run II" allowed him to work with his comedic hero, Don Knotts, who died in 2006.
