Carol Burnett Honors Late Co-Star Tim Conway With Tribute

Comedy legend Carol Burnett paid tribute to longtime friend and co-star of the Carol Burnett Show, Tim Conway, who died this week due to complications from hydrocephalus.

Burnett shared a statement to ET honoring Conway following his death on Tuesday.

“I’m heartbroken,” she wrote. “He was one in a million, not only as a brilliant comedian but as a loving human being. I cherish the times we had together both on the screen and off. He’ll be in my heart forever.”

Conway’s publicist, Roger Neal, also shared a statement regarding his client’s death.

“It was my high honor to represent Tim Conway as his manager and publicist from 2012-2017,” he wrote. “The guest star roles I had him do, and the press tour for his NY Times best-selling book, and spending time in his home, were truly some of the best times in my 38 [year] career. He was off screen what the world saw on screen.”

“We had so many laughs… what a pure joy to have had the privilege of working with one of the true masters of comedy,” he added. “There will never be another one like him. R.I.P. my friend.”
