Being born in 1950s, my generation were privileged to be in front of the TV, glued to the offerings at that time.
So many changes happened in those years. Comedians became a big part of any variety TV shows like The Carole Burnett Show. Tim Conway? Oh, my. That man was gifted.
What could he do? Tim Conway simply walked on the stage, with a slight limp. That sends him off to something...and the audience goes wild.
The famous elephant story
The Koala story
Falling down the stairs
Watch these if you have 2 - 4 minutes. You'll see just how amazing Conway was. Once he read the audience and his co-stars, he would take off on improvisation that went way off the boards.
