I jusst looked up some bio info on him. He was married twice and has
two kids with each wife (4 kids). His was married to his widow for
almost 26 years (in Hollywood - that is a lifetime). Also, I never
realized how tall he was. I mean, I knew he was tall but I didn't
realize he was 6'4".
Anyway, today is a very sad day. I loved him on The Carol Burnett
Show. :(
RIP

How sad....we lost a true comic genius today. I grew up watching him and Tim C on The Carol Burnett Show. Rest in peace and know that you will be sorely missed but gave many people many laughs for many many years.
God Bless

Harvey was great. Most actors will tell you that comedy is one of the hardest genres to work in. It takes a lot of talent. Harvey was perfection. I remember the gag reels where they would show the goofs. They were almost as golden as the show itself.
Harvey and Don Knotts' death hit me hard. They were both SO good.
RIP.

How sad. I always loved his work and had the pleasure of seeing him and TIm Conway perform about 7 years ago. My heart goes out to his wife and children.

Why are people being hateful on the comments section of someone who just died?
Show some respect people.
Anyway, the world has lost another great talent. I hope he wasn't too miserable the last 4 months of his life. His daughter said it was practically a miracle that he lived for 4 months after the initial aneurysm.
RIP

Have a little respect TMZ. He was a brilliant comedian and all you can title this bit of sad news is "Harvey's Dead." You all need to learn your time and place for improper headlines, whether they are accurate or not.

I'm am shocked and so saddened. Harvey's giggles were infectious and The Carol Burnett Show, for which he is most acclaimed, remains timeless no less because of the talents of this beloved actor/comedienne. Rest in peace Harvey. You are sorely missed. You know, there are just some people who, though not seen nor heard from for stretches of time, are missed to the extent that the world feels altogether like a different place. That's the feeling of Harvey. Love you sweet one.

All that staff available yet TMZ couldn't create a tasteful title... That shows little respect for Harvey Korman or his family.

Harvey Korman was a comic genius. He was brilliant-on the Carol Burnett Show-and and an absolute HOOT in Blazing Saddles.
RIP Harvey....He will definitely be missed.

"Harvey's Dead". That's the best that the disrespectful staff of TMZ can do for a person who recently died? The author of the article must be either extremely immature, stupid, or just inconsiderate of a human life.

Such a loss, I was thinking just the other day how I wished I could meet the people that have given me so much enjoyment and thank them, Harvey Korman, Tim Conway and Carol Burrnett. I used to laugh until I cried and could'nt breathe, my ribs would be sore for days. And I loved every single ache. My condolences to the Korman family, and thank you for sharing him with all of us, and to you Mr. Korman a sincere thank you and may God bless you.
