HARVEY KORMAN
I was so sad to hear about Harvey Korman passing away. He died on Thursday at UCLA Medical Center of complications from an abdominal aortic aneurysm that ruptured four months ago. Clearly I was a huge fan of the Carol Burnett show and he was a very big part of that for me. I remember curling up on the couch with some milk and cookies (hey I still do that) with one show I can remember EVERYONE in my family thought was funny. My brother and I still quote sketches from that show. He was also the voice of The Great Gazoo on The Flintstones! I also will never forget him in Blazing Saddles, another favorite for me and my brother.
Harvey Korman and the special brand of contagious humour that he brought to so many generations will be greatly missed. Enjoy some clips. I dare you not to smile.
