What a hilariously funny skit idea Mr.Conway..why is it

that no one is doing that type of comedy on tv today?

"My license plate said thirteen weeks.  Now it says six weeks." He still cracks me up.

[zadokdean]

he is a phenom! although I don't agree with him comparing Ellen Degenerate to the GREAT Carol Burnett!

Tim Conway played a pivotal character as ensign Parker, the series wouldn't have been the same without him. He was so very funny but maybe he played the character too well, made it difficult for future roles,

What a cool guy he is.  Down to earth, relaxed.

Even in this interview, he made me laugh out loud several times. Huge talent.

Is it just my laptop or is the audio of this piece very, very low? I have all that I can turned up and can barely hear it.
