Harvey Korman croaks at 81. There goes a little bit of childhood down the drain.......Jake ************************************* 'Carol Burnett' star Harvey Korman dies at 8127 minutes ago LOS ANGELES - Harvey Korman, the tall, versatile comedian who won four Emmys for his outrageously funny contributions to "The Carol Burnett Show" and played a conniving politician to hilarious effect in "Blazing Saddles," died Thursday. He was 81. Korman died at UCLA Medical Center after suffering complications from the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm four months ago, his family said. He had undergone several major operations. "He was a brilliant comedian and a brilliant father," daughter Kate Korman said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "He had a very good sense of humor in real life. " more: news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080530/ap_en_ce/obit_korman_9 |

I always liked Harvey. Him and Tim Conway could make you split a gut.

Especially when they got going and couldn't hold back the laughs as well. Watching them try to hold it in was funnier than the skit sometimes!
RIP Harvey

That pair did a skit, Tim Conway way a bumbling Dentist who managed to novacane every part of his own body while Korman played off every event. I am sure that most was ad libbed. Without question, my favorite Korman role though was that of "THATS HEDLAAY" Lamarr
Hedley Lamarr: My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Taggart: God darnit, Mr. Lamarr, you use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore.
...
I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists.
Hedley Lamarr: My mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening through a cosmic vapor of invention.
Taggart: Ditto.
Hedley Lamarr: "Ditto?" "Ditto," you provincial putz?
So Mr Korman... Go do that voodoo that you do so well!

So Mr Korman... Go do that voodoo that you do so well! I will sorely miss his voodoo too. I wonder how Mongo feels. |

Found the aforementioned video of Conway and Korman... its truely vintage, and while Conway is doing all the acting here, watching Korman's reaction and his desperate attempts to not laugh, makes it worth the watch. |
