Danny S. Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Geez, I dont want to be labeled"The Angel Of Death", but I just read Harvey Korman passed away today...Terrific comedian, actor, and a true gentleman in "real life" too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid C. Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I'm crushed. Every time I have been to Vegas over the past few years, I seem to have missed seeing Harvey and Tim Conway's show by a day or two. They could almost make me laugh as hard as Laurel and Hardy do. His bits, along with the cast of the "Carol Burnett Show" were priceless. The great Headley Lamarr will be sorely missed.

ECatw Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 OMG! What a talent. I loved him on The Carol Burnett show. He and Tim Conway always seemed to be having such a fun time on that show. He'll be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I hadn't heard that. He was so funny, turning around trying to hold in a laugh onstage.Just yesterday I heard that Carol Burnett is 75. We used to watch that show every Thursday night on WBEN in Buffalo! (The airwaves and antenna helped a lot.)Hoo boy, it's been a sad half-year in the entertainment world.

angelina Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Harvey Korman was a comic who knew that being a "second-banana" wasn't necessarily a bad thing. He was fantastic. I loved him obviously on Carol Burnett (my fave being the Gone With The Wind take-off)...and I loved him in various Mel Brooks movies (Blazing Saddles & History of The World....where he played "The Count de Money"). "It's good to be the king" & "Oh Piss Boy"....great lines! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGAgu6zI9v0 R.I.P. funnyman.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Harvey was hilarious - he could never keep a straight face when Tim Conway was playing with him - loved his acting and his comedic talent He will be missed as well... thank god for video/dvd!

darlene Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 This is terribly sad news. My favorite bit that Harvey and Tim did was "the old fireman." "*I'LL save ya!" They could never keep a straight face on that one. My sister and I practically rolled on the floor laughing. The pair of them often nearly cracked Carol Burnett up in the middle of a routine to boot.What a talented guy. And extremely likeable.RIP, Harvey. You will be very very sadly missed, but your work will live on and be remembered. You're one of the all-time greats. --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnniekNY Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Ah, bummer. I loved him in Blazing Saddles as well as Carol Burnett. Such a talented man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I always love Tim and Harvey on the Carol Burnett show. So sad. Sounds like he had a really rough time the last few months of his life, lots of health problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I really enjoyed Harvey, Tim, and Carol myself. It was great when they used to crack each other up during their skits. He really seemed like a great guy in real life too. Lots of great memories of Harvey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
