    I grew up watching the Carol Burnett show and Harvey Korman was my absolute favorite no better duo than him and Carol...and Him and Tim Conway. He was amazing and hilarious in Blazing Saddles:

    Hedley Lamarr: Repeat after me: I...
    Men: I...
    Hedley Lamarr: ...your name...
    Men: ...your name...
    Hedley Lamarr: [to himself] Shmucks.
    [continues aloud]
    Hedley Lamarr: ... do pledge allegiance...
    Men: ...do pledge allegiance...
    Hedley Lamarr: ...to Hedley Lamarr...
    Men: ...to Hedy Lamarr...
    Hedley Lamarr: That's *Hedley*!
    Men: That's Hedley.

    Hedley Lamarr: My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
    Taggart: God darnit, Mr. Lamarr, you use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar wh*re.

    I, too, grew up watching the Carol Burnett show. The one skit that I will never forget it when Harvey played a patient to Tim Conway's bumbling dentist. I had to pull it up on Youtube last night. It is arguably the funniest thing that has ever been on television. He will be missed!

    A definitive figure from my childhood, I always loved how Tim Conway would end up reducing him to fits of giggles onstage.

    Rest in peace, Mr. Korman, you were a class act.
