Publisher's 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. In television history, few entertainers have captured as many hearts and made as many people laugh as Tim Conway.

There's nothing in the world that Tim Conway would rather do than entertain - and in his first-ever memoir, What's So Funny?, that's exactly what he does. From his pranks in small Ohio classrooms to his performances on national television and movies, Tim has been cracking people up for more than seventy years. Long regarded as one of the funniest comedians around, Tim also boasts an inspiring rags-to-riches story.

What's So Funny? captures 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 and household name. By tracing his early path, this audiobook 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.

What's So Funny? shares the hilarious accounts of the glory days of The Carol Burnett Show and his famous partnerships with entertainment greats like Harvey Korman, Don Knotts, Dick Van Dyke, Betty White, Vicki Lawrence, Bob Newhart, and of course, Carol Burnett. As a bonus, listeners will enjoy never-before-shared stories of hilarious behind-the-scenes antics on McHale's Navy and The Carol Burnett Show.

What a Treasure.

Just a joy to listen to.
I was a little confused as I thought the book was being read by Tim Conway, but the voice did NOT sound like I remember Mr Conway sounding. In fact, the voice at the very END was how I remember him sounding, and it was neat to hear him, even for just a short while. But other than that, the book, the stories, how it was all set up...WONDERFUL.

The answer to the title is Tim Conway

I grew up watching the Carol Burnett show and one of my favorites was always Tim Conway. When I saw that he was the narrator for this book I was super excited and I was not disappointed, at all. He was as funny, charming, and wonderful as he was on the Carol Burnett show and all the movies that I loved with him in it.
