In television history, few entertainers have captured as many hearts and made as many people laugh as Tim Conway. Thereâs nothing in the world that Tim Conway would rather do than entertainâand in his first-ever memoir, Whatâs So Funny?, thatâs exactly what he does. From his pranks in small Ohio classrooms to his performances on national television and movies, Tim has been cracking people up for more than seventy years. Long regarded as one of the funniest comedians around, Tim also boasts an inspiring rags-to-riches story.

By tracing his early path, this book reveals the origins of many of Timâs unforgettable charactersâfrom Mr. Tudball and the Oldest Man to Mickey Hart to everyoneâs favorite, Dorf.
