One of America’s great comedians has died at age 81. Harvey Korman, famous for his 10 year stint as second banana on the Carol Burnett Show died Thursday in Los Angeles of complications from the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm four months ago.
His TV career began on the Danny Kaye show. He also did a variety of voice-overs for cartoons from Tom and Jerry to the Flintstones. Later his appearance in moves would expand his career. His character Hedley Lamar in “Blazing Saddles” will always be one of my favorites.
Harvey, you will be missed.
