What's So Funny (My Hilarous Life) by Tim Conway



Tim Conway and Jane Scovell provide a generally warm hearted look at the life of Tim Conway from his beginning as Tom Conway through his life on television, video and touring the country with Harvey Korman.

He has great affection for costars Carol Burnett, Harvey Korman and Don Knotts.  He noted that when you work on a Disney film you get to meet your fellow actors and that usually includes an animal costar. 

Tim explains how he came up with the Dorf concept.  His best experience was spending a day shooting scenes with golf legend Sam Snead.  He kept failing to make a trick shot and Sam was able to do it in one take.

Tim had great respect for Earnest Borgnine.  Earnest was making a significant amount of money on McHale's Navy but was upset his costars weren't given proper respect on the set.  Joe Flynn and Tim Conway got along great on the set and even worked briefly together on the short lived Tim Conway show.
