Harvey Korman RIP

Sad news.  For the second time within a week, a famous TV comic legend has died.  Harvey Korman of The Carol Burnett Show has passed away due to complications of an abdominal aortic aneurysm that he suffered four months ago.  He even had several surgeries.  Korman also starred in the Mel Brooks classic movie Blazing Saddles where he played a bad guy called Hedley Lemarr but everyone called him "Hedy" by mistake.  He also starred in other Mel Brooks movies as well.

I am sad to learn about his death because I grew up watching him on TV and in the movies.  He had great chemistry with Tim Conway.
