Tim Conway (1933—2019) starred on The Carol Burnett Show for
eleven years. He won six Emmys and was in the Comedy Hall of Fame.
He went to Bowling Green State University for eleven years (he was
a very slow learner). Tim was in the army (ours) for two years,
protecting Seattle from "the Red Menace" and was in McHale's Navy
for three years. His ambition was to be a jockey, but at his weight
even the horses asked him to get off. He has seven children and was
married to his lovely wife Charlene for thirty-five years.
Jane Scovell has written books with Elizabeth Taylor, Ginger
Rogers, Maureen Stapleton, Marilyn Horne, and Kitty Dukakis, and
biographies of Oona Chaplin and Samuel Ramey. She now adds Dorf,
Mr. Tudball, and The Old Man to her list.

"I couldn't put the book down. It was very clever of Tim to put
glue on each page. Seriously, I loved it."
*Bob Newhart*
"What Frank Sinatra was to music Tim Conway is to comedy. He is
inventive, creative, and imaginative. This book should be in
everyone's library along with Anna Karenina, War and Peace, and all
of my CD's."
*Steve Lawrence*
"I knew you were short.
I knew you were shy.
I knew you were talented.
But funny? Oh my yes!
I loved it! The book should have been 500 pages longer."
*Mike Connors, actor on Mannix*
"Tim is not only a good friend but a terrific writer. His book has
all the qualities of another Mark Twain. Settle back in a chair and
enjoy the writing of Tim Conway. It’s worth reading because he
mentions me!"
*Don Rickles*
"What's so funny? I'll tell you what's so funny! Almost every page
of Tim Conway's new book, What's So Funny?."
*Mel Brooks*
“Devotees of Tim Conway will revel in this heartfelt and sweetly
revealing memoir. . . . This is a warm-hearted tribute to Conway’s
professional and personal life, with endearing peeks behind the
television camera.”
*Publisher's Weekly*
“Tim’s glass-half-full perspective on life is evident on every
page. He's made people laugh for over sixty years and remains an
American comedic legend. What's So Funny? mirrors the genuinely
kind, funny, and witty person Tim is, seizing every opportunity to
amuse and delight.”
*Gary Sinise, actor and founder of the Gary Sinise Foundation*
