Harvey Korman, Rest
I just wanted to say this: Harvey Korman was one of the funniest men to ever walk this planet. The work that he did with Mel Brooks was wonderful--Blazing Saddles and History of the World, Part 1 are movies that still set me off in fits of laughter.
But nothing--nothing--this side of Monty Python could set me off like watching Korman and Tim Conway working together. It’s sad to think that these two brilliant comedians--with perfect chemistry--will never set foot on a stage again. He was one of the last of a dying breed of comedians and I’m sad to see their time passing.
I’m kicking myself right now, too. I think it was last year that the two came through town on a tour and I decided not to get tickets to see them. Stupid.

Comments & Trackbacks
That little eye/mouth tic when she mentions the bathroom drawings is pure comedy brilliance. Most of the audience probably never saw it from that distance…
It’s De MO-NAY.
