As New Years Eve comes around each year, programs and actors often reflect on friends and co-stars they lost in years past. For fans of the CBS show Mike & Molly, Tim Conway has appeared in their minds in 2021, even though the comedian died in May 2019. Actor Reno Wilson said that he and Bob Hearts Abishola star Billy Gardell were cracking up when Tim Conway guest-starred on Mike & Molly.

Tim Conway guest-starred in Mike & Molly Season 3, Episode 22, School Recital. He appeared in the episode with another guest star, Jim Beaver.

Molly is so focused on directing a school recital that she doesnt realize a fellow teacher is hitting on her. Meanwhile, Vince convinces Mike to join him in an unusual money-making scheme, IMDb lists the episode description.

The Carol Burnett Show actor played the exhibitionist arrested by Billy Gardell and Renos characters. However, Conway found himself stumbling over his lines.

It was a dream for Billy Gardell and I when Tim Conway was on Mike & Molly. He was struggling a bit with his lines but had us cracking up the whole time. You can feel his beautiful spirit here when he laughs, Wilson remembered on Facebook in 2019. We were so blessed to have you. Thank you, sir.

And the Bob Hearts Abishola star posted about Conways impact on him as well.

Gardell has never been shy about opening up about his co-stars. However, when news of Conways passing reached him, he posted on Twitter.

Tim Conway, one of the legends of the game, Gardell said in 2019. And one of the kindest people Ive ever worked with.

A week before Conways death, the new Chuck Lorre sitcom Bob Hearts Abishola had received a series order. However, Gardell took time out of his day to reflect on Conway. And the two had only ever worked together once on the Mike & Molly episode.

Even though he only guest-starred in one episode, Wilson, Gardell, and Conway all clicked instantly, joking and laughing on set.

However, he impacted more shows on CBS beyond Mike & Molly.

Besides appearing on Chuck Lorres Mike & Molly, Tim Conway also appeared on several other CBS shows.

In CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, he appeared in season 10, episode 20, Take My Life, Please, as Knuckles Pratt, fittingly a famous comedian.

He appeared in another Lorre show, Two and a Half Men, in season 11, episode 13.

Conway plays himself in Newhart when Dick Loudon (Bob Newhart) drives him away from poker.

Tim was just fearless. He would do anything he really would do anything. He could easily have paid for the ticket. It wasnt about him saving money, Newhart told Variety in 2019, it was just being a part of a stunt. It was a gag, and he wanted to be a part of it.

CBS is bringing back the crew from freshman drama CSI: Vegas for a second season but without William Petersen in the cast.

CBSs renewal of the crime investigation procedural, a sequel to the networks longrunning hit CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, comes a week after the Season 1 finale aired on Dec. 8. Season 2 of CSI: Vegas is slated to air during the 2022-23 broadcast season.

Petersen, who reprised his role as Gil Grissom from the original CSI, will not be on Season 2 of CSI: Vegas; he had previously agreed to appear only in the initial 10-episode limited series. However, Petersen will continue to serve as an executive producer for S2. Jorja Fox, who similarly appeared in CSI: Vegas in the role of Sara Sidle from the original show, is not confirmed for Season 2 at this point.

CSI: Vegas opened a new chapter for the franchise in Sin City where it all began. Facing an existential threat that could bring down the entire Crime Lab and release thousands of convicted killers back onto the streets of Las Vegas, a new team of investigators led by Maxine Roby (Paula Newsome) has enlisted the help of old friends Grissom (Petersen) and Sidle (Fox), to investigate a case centered around former colleague David Hodges (Wallace Langham). The first season also starred Matt Lauria, Mandeep Dhillon and Mel Rodriguez.

Through its first nine episodes (as of Dec. 1), CSI: Vegas viewership rose 84%, escalating from 3.71 million to 6.81 million with seven-day playback. Per CBS, thats the highest playback among all new TV dramas this season. The show aired in the 10 p.m. slot on Wednesdays this fall. All episodes of CSI: Vegas Season 1 are now available on Paramount Plus, ViacomCBSs subscription streaming outlet.

The incredibly talented CSI: Vegas creative team and cast did a superb job this first season, brilliantly updating and portraying the CSI universe with fresh stories and a new crime lab, proving that after 20 years, the CSI fan base is still hungry for more and ready to embrace a new chapter in this illustrious franchise, commented Amy Reisenbach, EVP, current programs, CBS.

CBS previously gave a full-season order to freshman comedy Ghosts, and picked up franchise drama spinoffs FBI: International and NCIS: Hawaii for full seasons as well.

CSI: Vegas is produced by CBS Studios in association with Jerry Bruckheimer Television and distributed internationally by ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group. Executive producers for the series are Jason Tracey, Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman, KristieAnne Reed, Anthony Zuiker, Carol Mendelsohn, Ann Donahue, Craig ONeill, William Petersen, Uta Briesewitz (initial episode only) and Cindy Chvatal.

Laurence Fishburne is one of Cinemas most recognizable African American actors. The 60 year old actor has been in multiple films and TV series, spanning from films like Boyz n the Hood, EventHorizon, The Matrix series, the John Wick series, as well as TV series like Pee-Wees Playhouse and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. He also is known for appearing in 2018s Ant-Man and The Wasp as Dr. Bill Foster AKA Black Goliath, making his debut in the ongoing Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Recently the actor sat down with ComicBook.com to promote his upcoming project MacGruber. When asked bout him possibly returning to the MCU he responded:

What if I told you I dont know? I dont know.

This hints that we might not see Bill Foster in the upcoming 3rd Ant-Man film. It is currently unknown if he will return to the role.

Black Goliath debut in The Avengers #32 in September of 1966. He became known as Black Goliath in Luke Cage, Power Man #24 in April of 1975. He went on to become the second hero to be known as Giant Man and the fourth to take the name Goliath. He is one of the only Marvel heroes to be a member of The Avengers, The Defenders and The Champions.

He is probably most known for being the first major death in Marvels Civil War storyline, being killed by the Robotic Thor clone Ragnarok. He was killed in his giant form so he was buried in a large grave that required bulldozers to dig. The battle he died in was recreated in Captain America: Civil War but with Ant-Man standing in, and of course Ant-Man didnt die.

With Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania premiering in 2023 we still might get a chance of him appearing as a surprise or mentioned by another character. Lets hope he isnt gone for goo.
