and he didn't even have to curse! Blazing Saddles is one of my all time favorite movies. Harvey played corrupt characters so well. Just to look at him would make me laugh, not knowing what was going to happen next. RIP & look up George Burns and Jack Benny. Boy, what would I pay to see that!

I love how the media waits for a statement from his CO-STAR and not his FAMILY. Hollywood is ridiculous.

I too grew up watching Harvey and Tim on the Carol Burnett Show. Then I had the chance to fly down to Vegas to see them in person at the Stardust. Class act. I was beside myself when they came to my home town in Canada, of course I had a front row seat for that one. Thanks for the laughs Harvey, Canada loves you.

Just amazing talent !! RIP Mr. Korman.. I was sad to read of his passing but then I recalled allot of great skits from the 1970s and I was crying with laughter. I hope that was an okay thing to do.

Heading to YT to find a few... Ed & Eunice were great .. as well as The Stomach Turns :-) Plus ANYTHING he and Conway did was CLASSIC !!! Carol had a great group there.. glad I was around to see the first runs of it.

And lets NOT forget Blazing Saddles :-) :-)

RIP Harvey. I remember watching Carol Burnett on Saturday nights to see who would crack up first: you or Tim Conway!! The "Gone wtih the Wind" skit remains one of my favorites to this day!! Nothing like a dose of good clean humor: some of today's foul mouthed, and unnecessarily so, comics should take a page out of your book.

Where's your hate, TMZ? I'm surprised that you're not making fun of the situation.
