Non-Fiction Memoir
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 book 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, readers will enjoy never-before-shared
stories of hilarious behind-the-scenes antics on McHale’s
Navy and The Carol Burnett Show.
