Harvey Korman

One of my heroes died today. Harvey Korman was a brilliant comedic actor who was best known to most as one of the cast members of The Carol Burnett Show. He was best known to me as one of Mel Brooks' go-to guys, costarring in such films as Blazing Saddles, High Anxiety, and History of the World Part I. While on The Carol Burnett Show, Korman was best known for the work he did with Tim Conway. He had a near impossible time keeping a straight face any time he and Conway acted in a sketch together. Below is one of my favorite such incidences. Korman plays the patient.
