Hysterical, crazy, bold, fearless, humble, kind, adorable... all synonyms for Tim Conway, i am so lucky to ever have shared a stage with Tim Conway. Harvey Korman and Tim Conway are together again... the angels are laughing out loud tonight.

It just came out of nowhere, so I knew it was some sort of allergic reaction. In your mind you keep thinking, ‘What could be causing this?’ you want to think, ‘It’s my diet, you want to think it’s my new soap, it's the tannins in the red wine.’ You have to deal with the symptoms, and it's very frustrating looking for the answers.

I always thought hives was your mother-in-law’s nervous breakdown. I thought, ‘Me, hives? I’m not stressed; I’m not nervous.’ But most people do get hives at some point in their lives, and for those of us who have chronic hives it can be on-going.

I’m happy that this new website [CIUandYou.com] can give them tools to find out how to live with CIU— and to know how to get to the right doctor.

Track the journey of your body with the hives and take it to your doctor, and then hopefully the both of you will find a course of action— or your doctor can get you to the right doctor that is dealing with this.

I played Miley Cyrus' grandma on 'Hannah Montana,' and the first time I was on, they said, 'We love having veterans like you on because she's like a little sponge, and she's really appreciative of all the veterans that are coming on the show, and we just love that you're teaching her.'

I often feel like I could fall off the face of the Earth. As long as 'Mama' was around, nobody would really miss me. People really think of her as an actual person. People all the time see me and ask, 'Where's Mama?' Like she should be with me.

I didn't plan on going into show business. Show business picked me. And it's been fun. One of the best things about being in show business is people think they know me, and they feel like they grew up with me.

Tim Conway was a little different from the rest. He was always in the back of the studio building something with the prop man, rewriting his lines, or plotting our demise.
