Summary:
"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. Few entertainers have captured as many hearts and made as many people laugh as Tim Conway. An inspiring rags-to-riches story. 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. This book 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.
Hilarious
accounts of the glory days of The Carol Burnett Show and his famous partnerships with Harvey Korman, Don Knotts, Dick Van Dyke, Betty White, Vicki Lawrence, Bob Newhart, and of course, Carol Burnett"--Provided by publisher.
