RIP: Harvey Korman, the world is a less funny place.

Sad news about a funny, funny man.

LOS ANGELES - A UCLA Medical Center spokeswoman says actor Harvey Korman has died.
Hospital spokeswoman Roxanne Moster said Korman died Thursday but she released no details.
The Emmy-winning star of such TV programs as "The Carol Burnett Show" and films such as "Blazing Saddles," was 81.

 

I watched him for years on the Burnett show and he was hilarious on High Anxiety and Blazing Saddles.

Very sad news about a very funny guy.

 

You will be risking your lives, whilst I will be risking an almost-certain Academy Award nomination for the Best Supporting Actor.

 

Damn shame. Always loved the interplay between him and Tim Conway. Just watching Korman try to stifle a laugh was worth the price of admission.

 

Now go do that voodoo that you do so W-E-L-L!!!
Damn.. was a helluva guy...

 

There was a reason that whole Burnett cast stayed together for 12 years.

 

Aww. Damn. I was thinking about him a few weeks ago when Tim Conway did that great guest appearance on "30 Rock."
Warning, true schmaltz ahead, but I can't stop myself:

I'm so glad we had this time together,
Just to have a laugh, and sing a song.
Seems we just got started and before we knew it
Came the time we had to say, 'So long.'

 

Terrible news. Loved him in Blazing Saddles and the Carol Burnett Show.

RIP to a legend.

 

"De Mo-nay. De Mo-nay."

RIP to one of the great improv comics ...

 

We'll miss ya Hedley. You were one of the greats.

 

Shitkicker

 

Now go do, the voodoo, that you do, SO WELLLLLL!!!
