@theoceanave Not quite true. I am going to see him tonight in Windsor, Ontario. He is doing a show at the Casino. :)

Anyone happen to know what he's doing nowadays, now that Harvey and Don Knotts are gone? I imagine he still does voiceovers and the rare TV/film appearance, but i'm guessing he's not on the road anymore with live shows.

Glad that Tim is still alive, what a great guy. Sad that Harvey Korman has passed.

Tim seems like a decent person in real life, a good man.

Got to shake his hand in '67.A regional track meet at Chagrin Falls,Oh. He was sitting in the stands with a couple friends. I'll always remember that moment.

@losemothergoose Are you positive your going to Heaven?

[TiminPhoenix]

He and other actors on McHale's Navy would work in their actual home towns into the scripts.

What a talented guy.
