And how would you be able to tell if he did? This is Tim Conway we're talking about… any aberrant behavior he displays could be explained away by him playing some elaborate long-form joke on someone just to amuse himself.
I can't find the clip, but Carol Burnett told a story of how she and Tim Conway were at a party in the 70s and Tim wrapped his entire head in toilet paper Invisible Man-style, got someone to take a Polaroid of him, cut his head out of the pic and slipped it into his at-that-time-laminated driver's license, then on the way home blew through a notorious stop sign trap with his head still wrapped in toilet paper just to play a joke on whatever cop happened to be watching the trap that night.
With a mind that works on that level, how could any of us mere mortals ever hope to judge whether he's okay or not?

I've always liked those moments when somebody in a sketch manages to force another cast member to break character, whether it's just a smirk, or falling off a couch laughing.
Tim Conway could cause that on a regular basis on The Carol Burnett Show.
A comedian I always admired was Sid Caesar. Brilliant, ahead of his time, but he once did an interview criticizing modern day comedians for breaking character proclaiming 'we never broke character', which as far back as I remember, was true.
He appeared on a Carol Burnett episode, but I don't recall if that was before or after that quote. That attitude always disappointed me, as though there were was no room for that 'failing'; only one kind of sketch comedy.
I can admire something going awry and an actor not breaking character — great. But a really funny bit that makes another actor slip— makes me laugh too.
Undateable took that to a new low though, when they started broadcasting their episodes live, once for each coast. They merely looked amateurish. My profound dislike for Chris D'Elia didn't help any. He's right down there with Chris Elliot as Guys Who Are Never Funny.
