Oh no! Harvey Korman died (announced on NBC news).

[Hardrada]

A funny guy and was an integral part of the Carol Burnett show.

[LostinVA]

1. That's sad

For a second, my heart jumped, because I thought you meant Harvey Korman, the DUer.

[Maven]

Aww

I'm still here hon. :hug:

This makes me so sad though.

[Rhiannon12866]

[LisaM]

4. Darn it, that's too bad.

Did it say how old he was?

[Divine Discontent]

32. 81.

search wikipedia for all his info.

He was great in Blazing Saddles, Carol Burnett Show, and appeared in several other movies I fondly remember (High Anxiety).


RIP, funny funny man...

The Hilarious Carol Burnett Comedy Duo!




You watch your ass!

[ChazII]

5. RIP

Harvey. Thank you for the many times you made me laugh.

[The Backlash Cometh]

37. I'm just glad we had this time together, just to laugh or sing a song or two

Seems we just get started, and before you know it, comes the time we have to say, so long.

This is me, wiggling my ear.

[FarLeftRage]

6. What a fucking bummer...

He was great in Blazing Saddles...

[hlthe2b]

7. All the funny men of the era are taking their leave--Dick Martin

last week, and Harvey K. now. RIP, guys. Keep em laughing in the afterlife!

[gateley]

8. He was so funny.

I used to love to see him crack up and lose it during the bits on the Carol Burnett show.

He brought us much laughter. RIP. :(

[sharesunited]

9. Hedley Lamarr.

[malaise]

10. I loved him

Too sad. :cry:

[Tikki]

47. Oh, me too.

He truly was a treasure.

[TomInTib]

11. Oh, no. What a funny man he was.

My dear friend, the Late, Great Tom Snyder, used to tell hilarious stories about going out with Korman.

[gateley]

12. Here's a clip from the show

[applegrove]

13. Loved him and that show.

[Ichingcarpenter]

14. Blazing Saddles....... I was just talking about him

One of the Great Comedic Actors is Gone....... Damn

[JuniperLea]

22. His comedic timing was spot on!

A simple look, a raised eyebrow, a pause... he had that down.

RIP, ya nut. Here's a rim-shot for the road, you funny man you.

[Renew Deal]

15. Isn't there a DUer by that name?

I thought you were referring to him.

[cynatnite]

16. RIP Harvey. :( n/t

[Maven]

17. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OMG.

:cry:

The day started out crappy and now this. I'm such a huge fan (obviously). There is no one else like him and never will be.



RIP.

:cry:

[JackBeck]

24. Sorry, buddy...

:loveya:

I will admit, though, I gasped and did a quick double take before I realized the real subject of the OP.

He was a comedic great.

:hug:

[Bluebear]

31. I thought of you first!

I'm thrilled you're still here, but sorry about Harvey.

[Mist]

18. He made it to 81. I remember him from the Carol Burnett show, and of course

Blazing Saddles. RIP, Mr. Korman. Thanks for the many laughs.

[eleny]

19. One of the best

Rest in peace.

[Bigleaf]

20. I remember laughing hysterically at Harvey, Tim, Carol etc. Sad news indeed!

[Canuckistanian]

21. The quintessential "straight man".

But he proved himself as a comedian in his own right.

I remember him mostly from the Carol Burnett show.

Jeez, first Dick Martin and now Harvey Korman. I sure hope that "three at a time" expression doesn't happen.

RIP, Harvey.

[Blue_Tires]

23. r.i.p.

[NanceGreggs]

25. Sad news indeed.

Safe passage to the other side of this life, Harvey - and thanks for all the laughs.

[KoKo]

27. so many Deaths...it get's hard to deal.......n/t

[Shakespeare]

28. Aw, no. We just watched Blazing Saddles again this weekend.

What a funny man he was. :cry:

[knitter4democracy]

29. Oh no! I will miss him.

He was an amazing comedic genius. May his memory be ever eternal.

[Kajsa]

30. Oh No!

Harvey was great- and a classic entertainer.

RIP, dear Harvey.

Thank you for all the laughs and smiles you
gave to everyone.

:(

[SalmonChantedEvening]

33. Aww Harvey, RIP

:cry:

A true comedic master.

Tim Conway and Harvey in a staring contest, each supressing laughter while trying to make the other explode.

"Chewing gum on line?"

That's Headly.

[Bluebear]

34. I'm so glad we had this time together, Harvey.

RIP

[The Backlash Cometh]

35. Mrs. Wiggins, come here, Mrs. Wiggins.

Me sad.

[Divine Discontent]

42. that was Tim Conway's bit with Carol Burnett

but there are tons of great memories of Tim & Harvey doing bits with Carol that just made us roll back in the day...

[elfin]

36. What a loss - I LOVED the Carol Burnett Show

when he and Tim did their bits, trying to make each other and Carol break up.

A comedy genius - and in the same week as Dick Martin.

That kind of silliness is sorely needed in these times.

[devilgrrl]

38. Wow, what a total drag :-(

[Lisa0825]

39. Aw, man! I loved him on Carol Burnett!

I was just a kid when the show was on, but I loved him, and have watched the tapes again as an adult. He was a comic genius. If there is a God, he/she probably laughing with him right now. RIP Harvey! You gave a lot to the world of comedy!

[apocalypsehow]

40. Sad news. RIP. n/t.

[SeattleGirl]

41. So sad!

He, Tim Conway, and Carol Burnett could crack me up like nobody else.

I'm so glad we had this time together. RIP, Harvey.

[parasim]

43. Aww man, not Harvey now too...

I so sad to hear Dick Martin's passing and now Harvey? He always seemed to me to be the most happiest, nicest guy in Hollywood. Funniest one on the ol' Carol Burnett show as far as I was concerned...

RIP Harvey!

[LisaM]

44. I loved when he took off Masterpiece Theatre....

"Hello, I'm Alistair Cookie".

[Initech]

46. RIP Hedey Lamarr.

No wait, that's HEDLEY!!

[Divine Discontent]

48. if you've never watched blazing saddles

it's on youtube - it's a satire on racism and bigotry and rocks.

here's the portion with "give the governor harumphf!", "you watch your ass!"...

[sonias]

49. Rest in peace, Harvey Korman

He made me laugh. I hope there's a spotlight on him now, where he can still make others laugh with him.

50. hedley lamarr?

he was great

he, carol burnette & tim conway were so damned funny

[quiet.american]

51. I cannot begin to count the hours of laughter Harvey Korman provided me.

Oh, damn. May is turning out to be one of the worst months of the year in so many ways.

[Kadie]

52. Oh No!

He was one of my all time favorites.

Thanks for all the laughs Mr. Korman.

:cry:

[Omaha Steve]

53. Marta and I met Harvey in Omaha a couple years ago

He was doing stand up with Tim Conway. We waited outside for the typical autograph. He signed a photo from "The Longshot". He was gracious and kind. So was Tim. Marta and I are going to call it a night and watch "The Longshot".

[underseasurveyor]

54. Awww damn

Harvey will be missed..:-(

[libnnc]

56. He was a genius...just a genius

My god did he make me laugh

:cry:

Rest well, Harvey.

He'll always be royalty to me...





"Hey! This is the King you're talking too..."

I'll have to be medicated when Carol goes...just sayin'. :cry:

Edit to add the famous "Dentist Sketch"

How he kept from pissing his pants, we'll never know.

Bloopers that I love

[Berry Cool]

57. It was so funny when Tim Conway would do something that would crack him up

and he'd stand there in the sketch trying to keep a straight face and totally lose it laughing.

RIP, Harvey. You gave us some good laughs.

[Bluebear]

58. That was as good as the skit itself! LOL

[kwassa]

59. an extremely talented comedian who was greater than his roles

The Carol Burnett Show had some incredible comedy, and his role in it was huge, as the male lead in many of the skits.

I think much of it is classic comedy of the highest order.

Tim Conway and Harvey in the Dentist Sketch, which really features Tim, but nonetheless hysterical.

60. RIP, Harvey. You made me laugh many a time.

[EFerrari]

61. Oh, no! He was a genius.
