Ephraim Wanker was the husband of Peg's Mom and father to Peggy Bundy. Ephraim Wanker was portrayed by Tim Conway in some of his onscreen appearances, and much like Peg's Mom, was originally due to be portrayed by Divine, who would play that role out-of-drag. This did not come to fruition however, as the actor had died before production on the original appearance of the character. Peggy's father was played by Tim Conway, appearing occasionally in the last three seasons.
