The world has lost a comedic genius with the death of Harvey Korman. Most famous with his supporting and starring roles with Tim Conway and Carol Burnett, Korman recently lost his struggle with an aortic aneurysm in his abdomen.
LOS ANGELES – Harvey Korman, the tall, versatile comedian who won four Emmys for his outrageously funny contributions to “The Carol Burnett Show” and played a conniving politician to hilarious effect in “Blazing Saddles,” died Thursday. He was 81.
Korman died at UCLA Medical Center after suffering complications from the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm four months ago, his family said. He had undergone several major operations.
The video clip above is one of my favorites of him and Tim Conway performing on the Carol Burnett show.
