I feel fortunate to have grown up during the Carol Burnett era. It was never missed on TV in our household, as we adored the entire cast. Harvey Korman was a comic genius, especially when he and Tim Conway performed together. Thank you Dr. Korman for prescribing laughter to ease our tensions. You will be missed!

I agree with the other posts, the heading shows a total lack of respect as to what the man gave and meant to millions. He brought us enjoyment in times when we needed to be reminded what enjoyment was, when families sat down in front of the SAME television together in the SAME room and shared laughter, lots of laughter together. Yes TMZ, he deserves a better send off than what your staff has provided, show some class, Harvey Korman always did.

Remember when Hollywood was a magnet for great talents like Harvey, and everyone else on the Carol Burnett Show? Instead of now, wall to wall coverage on NOTHINGS like Britney, Lindsay, Paris. Bring back the talent to Hollywood please!

He was sooooo funny as Ed on the original Mama skits and then on Mama's Family. He should have been given more acting gigs after Carols show went off the air.
