Not sure anyone ever caused more tears to be shed due to laughter.

Not just tears.

So talented and one of the funniest men who has ever lived. He's given us so much. Congrats on a life well lived.

Near the middle Harvey Korman just can't stop laughing. He's in tears.

Vickie Lawrence told the backstory some years ago. This was the 2nd taping (of their customary two) and between them they always got notes from the director. Camera changes, new marks, that sort of thing.

As she tells it, the director came by before this & said "only one change tonight: the elephant story will be different, and longer. Good luck."

Got the pleasure of seeing him and Tom Poston perform the Odd Couple years ago. Conway apparently ad-libbed this entire slapstick bit during the spaghetti dinner scene, and I'll always remember it as one of the funniest bits I have ever seen. Then, he and Poston performed a little stand up after the show ended. It was terrific. Conway was one in a million.

I showed Dorf to my 9-year old a few months ago and he loved it.

The two above and this one are my favorites:
Tim Conway Harvey Korman "Fire At Will" from "The Carol Burnett Show" - YouTube

The Private Eyes is one of my favorite movies of all. Him and Don made such a great comedy pair.
