Goodbye -my favorite second banana, Harvey Korman

[lisa123414]

I always loved it when he could not keep a straight face doing skits with Carol Burnett.

Sigh. It seems they're dropping like flies.

So long, Harvey. You'll always be Hedley Lamarr to me.

"Quick! Drive me off this picture."

 

[Carnevil9]

That's DEADly Lamarr......

 

[jomar]

He was a great one.

damn.

I was watching him just yesterday, on youtube i think. Tim Conway as the dentist. Harvey Korman as the patient. Absolutely priceless.

May he rest in laughing peace.

 

[S-Des]

He was great in everything he did, whether it was being a straight man to brilliant comedians, or the bad guy in some of the funniest movies ever.

So long, Hedley.

You should have set up the "Headly" joke by calling him "Heddy"...

And that dentist sketch was a scream. I will have to watch it when I am more awake ijn the morning.

 

[AvoidingRealWork]

He and Madeline Kahn are performing somewhere as we speak, I'm sure.

 

[TE999]

Another of the great ones gone. *sigh*

I bet St. Peter's laughing his halo off right about now.

Via Con Dios Harvey.

He was certainly one of the best straight men ever and will be missed. Many of those Carol Burnett sketches are classics.

Wherever you may go, Harvey, there are as many there saying thanks for your arrival as there are here bemoaning your departure.

Thank you for the laughs. They were needed.

Give the Governor a harrumph for me.

 

[SouthernAlberta]

Crap

I bought the Carol Burnett Show DVD at Christmas to watch.

Sure will miss him.

 

[DesertPirate]

A true great has passed from our presence

He left some great performances to remember him by and they will keep us laughing for a very long time
Thanks for many great laughs Harvey!

You made this world a better place

I'll never forget you, Hedley Lamarr.

(Click on "rusters wav")

"I want rustlers, cutthroats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, half-wits, dim-wits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bush-whackers, horn swagglers, horse thieves, bull-dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass kickers, shit kickers, and Methodists! Ha ha ha ha!"

How sad, and yet, how much he left us with. Rest in peace, Mr. Korman.

I loved him in "History of the World" and "Blazing Saddles". He was totally statuesque! It's not goodbye, see you later, Harvey....
