Tim Conway on the Carol Burnett Show

One of the great television clowns that you don't hear much about anymore, but was a genius at physical comedy, esp. with obstacles.

I was alerted to George Fuller and Adrian Danzig, and nearly died laughing when I saw it.
(as did Harvey Korman, Conway's often broken up partner)

Conway is so matter of fact, but explores the limitations of his obstacle so brilliantly that whatever he does you both don't expect, and at the same time could completely see it coming.

Well worth watching

Conway was a favorite of mine as a child growing up in the '70s. Thanks for reminding me of his greatness.
