What's So Funny?

Author: Tim Conway
Stars: 3
Review by: Mandy Apgar


This is nice as a one time read but isn't the sort of thing I would go back to twice. A memoir of the comic (born "Toma Conway" to an Irish father and his oft quoted Romanian mother) starting at his happy childhood on through his personal life (2 marriages, 6 children, 1 stepdaughter) to his career (stories of Steve Allen, Carol Burnett of course, their associated crew, Harvey Korman, even the time he came to a bar with Don Knotts with the latter in full Western drag). A good man, he frequently gives credit to those that have helped and supported him as well as persons in the entertainment industry that aren't as glamorous but yet filled great roles.
