Comic and television star Tim Conway (McHale's Navy, The Carol Burnett Show, The Apple Dumpling Gang) enjoyed enormous popular appeal, including a wide readership for his best-selling memoir, What's So Funny? In her own humorous, loving, and surprising memoir, Tim's eldest child, Kelly, reveals that the Conway home life was as riotous and engaging as some of her father's best-known comedy sketches. My Dad's Funnier than Your Dad is her love letter to her father and mother, as well as an account of the warm, laugh-filled world in which she spent her childhood.

The book portrays a Cheaper by the Dozen-style upbringing, when she and her five younger brothers spent their lives playing together within a protective cocoon of affection and love. What kind of dad builds his kids a go-cart track in the backyard of his Encino residence by himself, not hiring a crew of professionals to do it? How about a dad who circles the block when his kids go away for our first day in grade school, fretting and fussing that we're okay away from home? What can you say about a famous father who lived not for his celebrity but kept himself firmly grounded in family? While not all puppy dogs and rainbows - the Conways divorced when the author was 17 - this is nevertheless a warmhearted memoir of a man who was as funny off the set as on.

This book is a must listen! I'm experiencing similar guardian and POA issues with my elderly Dad with other relatives as well so this book resonated with me as Ms. Conway described her immense love for her Dad and Mom at the end of their lives. Tim Conway gifted laughter to the world and its clear his 6 children will carry his legacy of kindness to future generations!

Made me cry, Made me laugh!

As a mother who currently has a similar unexplained situation with my beloved daughter, I cried hearing the unprovoked pain Kelly was caused by someone she once was so close to & the many, many ways she tried to make peace - just to be allowed to take care of her father. I am among the millions of Tim Conway fans & Kelly's story of the last years of his life was tender, frustrating, happy and sad. I applaud Kelly for her courage and I thank her for sharing her memories of this funny, kind man.
