Sorry about last nights babbeling about death BUT let me continue... I wake up in Valdosta this morning and login and see that Harvey Korman has died...... Damn....
The death of actors and other public figures are different than family members and personal friends but it still has an effect on you.
I grew up watching the Carol Burnett Show and the skits with Harvey Korman and Tim Conway were EPIC... Korman was the first actor I ever saw actually break character and start laughing during a skit. There were times on the CB Show that I thought I would pee my pants from laughing so hard, and I look around at the family and Mom, Dad, and sis were all crying from the hysterical antics.
Korman was a legendary 2nd fiddle and straight man... He fit in perfectly in the Mel Brooks genre of films. Blazing Saddles and History of the World Part 1 are 2 of the funniest movies of ALL TIME.... "You look like the Piss Boy" ; "and you look like a Bucket of Shit!" High Anxiety had its moments...
He was underappreciated but I had no idea he was 81. What a legacy he has left us. Makes me want to hope for rain this weekend so I can slide these discs into the DVD player and pay my hommage...
