Two of my favorite entertainers. Finding some macho in them is as difficult as finding life on the Moon.

Not sure either one is macho. But TC cracks me up more frequently than BN, so I'm voting him. Besides that he almost always cracks up Harvey Korman, too. I took Mom to see the pair live, and after all these years working with Tim, Harvey still got the giggles throughout the show.

Conway and Korman did a tour in the late 1990s and did a show at my local theater. I really regret not seeing that show.

That's the tour we saw, 'bender! Oh, you should've gone. They were a RIOT! I think my sides truly hurt afterwards. Each alone was funny, but the skits together were comic genius.

I wish I had seen it. Harvey Korman was always the first one to break character and start laughing at Tim Conway.

It was no different live. You could see him start to giggle and fight so hard to keep it in. Usually failed utterly. Which was part of the fun for us in the audience.

Not a lot of macho here... But I do love both of these guys' humor! I was a fan of Carol Burnett WAY back to when she was an "extra" on the Gary Moore Show... Whew, THAT does show my age... LOL! Tim Conway will forever be linked with Carol Burnett's comedy...
Bob Newhart is a favorite of mine too. His dry humor as a therapist (teamed perfectly with Susanne Pleshette) kept me laughing through the 1970's...
To be totally honest, I suppose it DOES take a certain amount of "macho" to get an entire nation laughing... I give them an even tie!
