R.I.P. Harvey Korman

He passed today at the age of 81. He was great on the Carol Burnett Show. But this is a classic as well, IMO

I saw him on stage in Florida about 10 years ago.. He was a riot.

Gosh he gave us so many laughs.

 

I've made it a hobby of sorts to try to keep up with celebrity passings and I truly believed Harvey Korman had died some time ago!

This takes me by surprise!

He was a great performer and I loved him in Blazing Saddles as well as on the incomparable Carol Burnett Show.

A very, very talented man. But I heard he could be a nasty s.o.b. when not performing.

EDIT:

He was part of the era that didn't need foul language to be funny. And watching Tim Conway make him lose it was always good.

 

I know. He was great.

How did you get the idea he died today and not in 2008?
