Tim Conway - In Memoriam

Tim Conway, the impish second banana to Carol Burnett who won four Emmy Awards on her TV variety show, starred aboard "McHale's Navy" and later voiced the role of Barnacle Boy for "Spongebob Squarepants," has died. He was 85.

Besides his Emmys with Burnett, Conway got two more for guest appearances on "Coach" and "30 Rock." He also had a modest but steady movie career, appearing in such films as "The Apple Dumpling Gang."

We spoke with Conway in 2010, in advance of a performance at Proctors in Schenectady.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
