Aw, crap.  The world is now a less funny place.  Truly, one of the greats.

I saw that and had to go to the utubes to watch his elephant bit for the 19,864th time.

True comic genius.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Conway.

If it helps, at all of 32, I got to see him live with Harvey and still remember the Carol Burnett show.

The elephant story is the bomb.

I realize some people get annoyed when actors on sketch shows can't hide their own laughter (Jimmy Fallon being a famous example). But I think there's a charm to it--if something's funny enough, even the pros can't resist.

I mention it because the elephant story linked above is without a doubt the all-time king of the "crack up the rest of the cast" sketches. It will never, ever be equaled.
