Unless you have never seen a television in your life, you have probably seen Tim Conway perform all kinds of crazy antics, most notably on "The Carol Burnett Show" and (for us old geezers) as Ensign Parker on "MacHale's Navy." (if you're older than that you might remember him from "The Garry Moore Show" and Steve Allen) In this book Conway talks about his life from the beginning with his somewhat odd parents, on through his school days, and his early work on Cleveland radio stations. Eventually he landed on television in New York and then Hollywood. He created many memorable characters, many of whom were based on people he actually knew like his Romanian mother. In this book he talks about the people he has known and been friends with in Hollywood, his family including his seven children and wife "Sharky" He also includes many anecdotes about silly things he has done both on and off the stage, including his expertise at tormenting Harvey Korman. This is a fun, light read that will have you laughing out loud.
