===Harvey Korman=== Conway first met [[Harvey Korman]] in 1966 during the first of Conway's three appearances on ''[[The Danny Kaye Show]]''. Korman was a four-year series regular on Kaye's CBS variety hour. 1967 saw the end of the Kaye show and the debut of ''[[The Carol Burnett Show]]''. With Korman available, he stepped into a regular role there. Conway appeared as a guest during that first Burnett season and the two men immediately became friends starting a lifetime of working together until Korman's death in 2008. One of their most famous sketches was from ''The Carol Burnett Show'' called "The Dentist Sketch." In this sketch, Korman goes to the just-graduated dentist Conway for a toothache. Conway proceeds to remove Korman's tooth, but before he can inject the [[novocaine]] into Korman, he injects it into himself, causing his hand, leg, and head to go numb.<ref name="Berman"/> Korman and Conway performed together for 10 years on ''The Carol Burnett Show'' before Korman left to pursue his own show. Korman joined Conway on Conway's shows and then later on in the 1986 film ''[[The Longshot]]'', which Conway wrote for the two men.<ref name="Dawidziak"/> Conway also wrote the direct-to-video films ''Tim and Harvey in The Great Outdoors'' and ''Together Again with Tim and Harvey'', which the comedy pair starred in together. The duo also toured the U.S. performing together. The DVD ''Together Again with Tim and Harvey'' is a recording of their touring stage show that ran over 10 years to sold out markets until Korman's death in 2008.<ref name="Berman">{{cite magazine|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/marcberman1/2019/05/14/im-so-glad-we-had-this-time-together-tim-conway/#ad12ff331a8e|title=I'm So Glad We Had This Time Together, Tim Conway|first=Marc|last=Berman|magazine=[[Forbes]]|location=United States|date=May 14, 2019|access-date=June 25, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.knbc.com/entertainment/16430024/detail.html|title=Entertainment News, Celebrity News, and Arts & Entertainment|work=[[KNBC]]|publisher=NBC Telemundo License LLC ([[NBCUniversal]])|location=Los Angeles|access-date=June 25, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080529/ap_on_en_tv/obit_korman|title='Carol Burnett' star Harvey Korman dies at 81 (similar to the above)|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080603000723/http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080529/ap_on_en_tv/obit_korman|agency=[[Associated Press]]|work=[[Yahoo!
