I am told that neither Barry Humphries (aka "Dame Edna") nor Tim Conway (aka "Dorf") are retiring from anything except touring. Humphries apparently has a bit more farewell touring to go, including a probable limited engagement on Broadway here. Conway was on The Talk today to plug his autobiography and deny the rumors that he was giving up show biz. I didn't see it but I'm told he said something like, "I don't know how these stories get started." Well, Tim, they got started because the press release you put out to announce you were retiring from live performing and canceling all your future dates didn't make clear you weren't giving up all performing.
Anyway, it's good we'll have Dame Edna and Tim around. We need all the silly people we can get.
