Tim Conway died today at the age of 85.

I remember spending many Saturday on the couch with mom watching the Carol Burnett show.  Tim Conway's antics and ad libbing made laugh so hard sometimes I thought I'd pee myself.

Goodbye Mr. Tudball.  Goodbye Oldest Man.  Goodbye Goodbye The Family's Mickey Hart.  Goodbye Dentist from the Dentist Sketch.

But let's remember THE best known Conway bit: The Elephant Sketch.  This comprises BOTH versions...the one down in dress rehearsal and the one done for recording  (both were recorded in front of a live audience).


Hilarious.

The world is a little less funny, little more sad today.
