One of the great comedians passed away Thursday, Harvey Korman. Probably best known as Tim Conway’s straight man on The Carol Burnett Show, he was famous for being unable to keep a straight face in his skits with Conway (but to be fair who could?). He also added great comedy to many films.
Some of his career highlights include the goofy villains Hedley Lamarr (”That’s Hedley not Heddy!”) and Dr. Montague in Mel Brooks’ Blazing Saddles and High Anxiety, as well as the loopy disguise expert Auguste Balls in several of Blake Edwards’ Pink Panther movies. He is a talent that will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
