Tim Conway stole the show as a pint-sized basketball star during his hilarious appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. The comedy legend had the audience in stitches with his outrageous portrayal of Dunk Dorf, a miniature basketball player. The clip is sure to have viewers laughing non-stop from start to finish.

While sports often require physical attributes like speed and height for success, Conway’s comedic take on basketball challenges that notion. In his role, Dunk humorously argues that being shorter can sometimes be an advantage—especially if it leaves the opposing team doubled over in laughter.

In the skit, Dunk explains to Johnny how he ended up in basketball, despite his small stature, with an outlandish and comedic explanation that sends both Johnny and the audience into fits of laughter. He even goes on to boast about his impressive 20 points-per-game average and demonstrates his dribbling skills. The smallest player on the Los Angeles Lakers shares how his height gives him a unique “view and smell” of the game.

Not to be outdone, Tim Conway also shows off his dunking skills, proving that size doesn’t always matter when it comes to delivering laughs. The segment continues with Conway delivering punchlines one after another, keeping the studio audience and Johnny Carson entertained throughout.
