Conway and Whitman was a CBS Radio evening talk radio program, web streaming and broadcasting throughout the Los Angeles and Orange County, California metropolitan areas at 97.1 Free FM (KLSX). The show ran from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Pacific Time, Monday through Friday, hosted by Tim Conway Jr. and formerly by Brian Whitman. Since the recent 2008 departure of Brian Whitman, the show has reverted to The Tim Conway Jr. Show rather than adopting a new co-host.

Tim Conway, Jr. is the son of American television and film comedian Tim Conway. Conway was the former co-host of KLSX evening talk radio show Conway and Steckler, with comedian/writer Doug Steckler. Conway also hosts a weekend show on KLSX, Mortgage Matters (with Dave Hardin of Covenant Mortgage) about real estate finance. He has a wife, Jennifer, and a daughter, Sophia.

Brian Whitman is a radio host and voice impressionist, known for his variety of celebrity impersonations, including Louie Anderson, Jay Leno, Tom Leykis, Rick Dees, Kenny Kingston, Jack Nicholson and Don Imus. He hosted a weekend show at WABC (AM) in New York, and has worked with Rick Dees and Ryan Seacrest at KIIS-FM in Los Angeles. Whitman can also be heard with hosts Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Mike Gallagher, and Jay Thomas. On March 25, 2008, it was announced that Whitman had exited KLSX.
