McHale's Navy (1962)

The Hollywood Palace with host David Janssen and guests Edie Adams, Tim Conway, Vic Damone, Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner and The Globetrotters (1965)

The Dean Martin Show with guests Frank Gorshin, Duke Ellington and Tim Conway (1966)

Frank Gorshin = Greatest impressionist ever! He also performs his A&M "Riddler" single live!

The Carol Burnett Show with guests Martha Raye and Betty Grable (1969)

Bull! - Tim Conway and Ernie Anderson LP (1966)

I attempted to upload this album last year but encountered audio problems with the mixer. Here it is in corrected, stereophonic glory. Ernie Anderson's voice is instantly recognizable as the voice of ABC and he is beloved by many for his stint as horror movie host Ghoulardi - a character who will be making a couple appearances in this spot in time for Halloween. Tim Conway's voice is instantly recognizable as Tim Conway.

Listen to the whole album - Bull!

The Carol Burnett Show with guests Dick Van Dyke and Tony Randall (1977)

Rango (1967)

Well, after posting the oddball Tim Conway - Ernie Anderson comedy records a couple weeks ago, I thought it might be fun to take a look at this obscurity. Between his success on McHale's Navy and The Carol Burnett Show, Tim Conway starred in this western sitcom that lasted only half of the 66-67 season on ABC. Guy Marks who had just finished a stint on The Joey Bishop Show (the sitcom, not the talk show) was co-star. Complete with commercials. A lot of familiar names in the production credits of this one.

Are We On? - Tim Conway and Ernie Anderson LP (1966)

Today we have a comedy record from Cleveland stars Tim Conway and Ernie "Ghoulardi" Anderson. Conway had performed on Anderson's regional Ohio show Ernie's Place in the nineteen fifties. Many years later, when the two had individually moved to Los Angeles in order to further their showbiz careers, they teamed up to form a comedy team - the one on display on these two albums. They were released a few months before Conway found fame on The Carol Burnett Show, a gig that had a schedule that would no longer allow Tim to continue working with Ernie. Anderson went on to be the voice of ABC for many many years. Listen to a sample of Ernie's voice work here and you can find the hilarious and profane Ernie Anderson blooper mp3 over here.

Listen to both of these comedy albums here.
