Was truly funny without having to rely on filth and shock. One of my favorites was when he went off script on the Carol Burnett show and started rambling about the Siamese Elephants.
I would love it when Conway would ad-lib, and Harvey Korman would struggle to keep from breaking out in laughter. RIP to a very underappreciated comic actor.
Easily thrown around these days... but it seems to apply to his comedy. The Elephant Skit - ( New Window )
He had them all rolling Rob. Usually you might be able to get to 1 guy but, they all lost it.
I remember seeing that sketch much later then the original airing and at the end you can just about hear Vicki Lawrence say ..."Is that little fucker done?"
Me too - what an expressive face, made for that slapstick comedy. Lots of good laughs.

Classic
The Saturday night line-up back then was probably the best night For TV?
IIRC, on the same night was the Bob Newhart show, Mary Tyler Moore show, and Carol Burnett.
There was another good show but, I can't remember it right now.
Being 11 at the time my Saturday nights were kind of tame - so it was a good night for good TV.
RIP Mr. Conway and Thank-you.
