Tim Conway, the legendary comedian and co-star to Carol Burnett on her variety show, has passed away at the age of 85 in Los Angeles.
His rep, Howard Bragman, told CNN that Conway battled normal pressure hydrocephalus, which is an accumulation of spinal fluid on the brain.
Bragman also said the actor was not suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's disease, as some reports have claimed.
The show ran from 1967 to 1978. Conway initially joined the cast as a guest star when the show debuted but was later promoted to a regular in 1975, and then remained a fixture on the series until its conclusion in 1978.
He was an improvisational comedian who was frequently able to crack up his co-stars and make them break character, particularly Harvey Korman.
Conway briefly headlined his own variety series and then spent much of the '70s co-starring in various Disney live-action comedies.
He won additional Emmys for his role in such hit shows as "Coach" and on the Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin-led sitcom, "30 Rock."
Conway also lent his voice to some animated projects, such as the kid's television series, "SpongeBob Squarepants."
Conway is survived by his wife, seven children, and two granddaughters.
