One of my favorite comedians ...between the Carol Burnett Show and his appearances in Mel Brooks' films, he left me in stitches. RIP.

How truly sad....

Sad, indeed.
I miss that sort of entertainment.
I just watched a Youtube of the infamous "Went With the Wind" segment from the Carol Burnett Show. It's a tribute to Harvey's abilities that he was able to actually look like Clark Gable in that segment. He was great on that show!

Sad to hear... but oh, what a blessing to be remembered as someone who made the world smile.

So true!

We're losing all the good ones....

And don't forget his performance in Blazing Saddles. :ROFLOL:

Sad to say the least, but at least we have the wonderful memories that he gave us and the hours of laughter.

"Chewing gum on line hey, I hope you brought enough for everybody".:ROFLOL: I always enjoyed how he could never keep a straight face with Tim Conway. He will be missed.

"That's 'HEAD'ley"

Lots of losses the past few weeks.

That is still one of the best skits on television ever!

I actually got to see him and Tim Conway on tour in 2005. They were still great. And he liked to be a little more "naughty" than Tim. That surprised me in a way. But none of it was anywhere near the filth that most newer comics always seem to think that they have to do.

Here is a good article today on him: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment/sns-ap-obit-korman,0,2014671.story

RIP.

One more thing (sing along if you remember):

"I'm so glad we had this time together,
Just to have a laugh or sing a song.
Seems we just get started and before you know it,
Comes the time we have to say,
'So long!'"

May he rest in peace...


I may be a youngster, but he was always SO funny. He will definitely be missed.
