LOS ANGELES - Harvey Korman, the tall, versatile comedian who won four Emmys for his outrageously funny contributions to “The Carol Burnett Show” and on the big screen in “Blazing Saddles,” died Thursday. He was 81.

He was one main reasons why the Carol Burnett show was so funny. Between him and Tim Conway, I was left in stitches.

He was very funny. I imagine a lot of the younger folk here have never heard of him though (and that's a pity).

What a shame. He was a hilarious comedian, and I remember watching "The Carol Burnett" show and always thought he was funny as hell.

RIP.

He and Tim Conway were a naturally great comedic pair.
Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

"That's HEDLEY!!!" An awful shame. Harvey was one of the people who defined "comic genius."

I could watch Tim Conway try and crack up Korman on the CB Show all day.
