Conway was born in the Cleveland suburb of Willoughby, and grew up in nearby Chagrin Falls. He attended Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, where he majored in speech and radio. After graduating, he joined the Army, following which he took a job answering mail for a Cleveland radio station, where he went on to become a writer for the promotional department. He later did local television work in Cleveland with Ernie Anderson on WKYC TV and WJW TV.
He gained a national following from his appearance in the 1960s sitcom McHale's Navy. Afterwards, he starred in a string of series. Now forgotten, The Tim Conway sitcom of 1970 paired Tim with Joe Flynn of McHale's Navy in the confined set of a DC-3. Having "nowhere to run", this pressurized situation was ideal for the fast repartee of the leads. Of the films for Disney, he was often paired with fellow funnyman, Don Knotts. The most popular of these is probably The Apple Dumpling Gang series of movies.
He is probably best known, however, for his work on The Carol Burnett Show where his unscripted antics often caused his fellow players to fall out of character by bursting out in laughter. Example: Conway and Harvey Korman are having a swordfight duel in medieval garb, and Korman appears to run him through. Conway pulls the thin sword "out", looks at it as if it were a dipstick, and remarks, "Hmm... down a quart!" And Korman convulses.
