Marking the passing of Harvey Korman

I'd forgotten how much I used to laugh at him on the Carol Burnett Show.
Younger members might check out YouTube, and see--on the tiny screen--some morsel of what you missed.

OMG, I had found this out on Thursday, and was shocked beyond comprehension...I used to love The Carol Burnett show, and I wish it would come back into syndication...

I also watched History of the World Part I this weekend, and laughed myself silly when I heard "Count de Money!!"

Rest In Peace, Harvey...

my fav role of his was in "Blazing Saddles"...

"Hedley Lamarr".....LOL priceless...

I also watched the Carol Burnett show each week...
I laughed so much when he would start laughing at Tim Conway,
he could never keep a straight face...

Sad news indeed! He was a regular on our household television set.

Rest in peace, K-man!

Harvey Korman was an integral part of my Saturday-night viewing habits in the 70s, which included the Mary Tyler Moore Show, Bob Newhart Show, and the Carol Burnett Show. That was the original must-see TV. I could always anticipate laughing uncontrollably at Harvey's and Conway's antics as they went in and out of their characters. Harvey truly was a comedy supporting actor. He is missed.
