The Dentist, a sketch that Harvey and I revived in our live shows on the road (1998–2005). I could still make Harvey break up every single time we performed it.

A jewel in my crown: my granddaughter Courtney.
Another jewel, granddaughter Sophia.
Taking orders for slipcovers.
I love you all.

TIM CONWAY was born and then did The Carol Burnett Show for eleven years. He has six Emmys and is 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, two grandchildren, and a puppy. Tim has been married to his lovely wife Charlene since 1984 and does not have a serious thought in his head.
