Hedley Lamarr, Prof. Auguste Balls, The Great Gazoo and many others have died today, in form of the Great Harvey Korman. RIP sir. Your characters, your comedy and YOU will be greatly missed.

Seconded. While the Great Gazoo is one of the worst cartoon characters of all-time, it wasnt because of the voice acting.
His performance in Blazing Saddles was one of the best comedic performances in history and his work on the Carol Burnett show was often fantastic.
RIP and thanks for the laughs.

I have only known him in The Flintstones and Blazing Saddles.
However, I still want to say: RIP Harvey Korman.

I wonder who the third is going to be this time? First Sydney Pollack, and now Harvey. The good ones are leaving us.
RIP Harvey.
"That's Hedley!"

He was the third. Dick Martin Of 'Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In' died last week.

This is so sad. I wonder how Carol Burnett, Vicki Lawrence and especially Tim Conway are holding up right now. I loved Harvey in "Herbie Goes Bananas". His scenes with Cloris Leachman are a riot.
CLORIS: I think [Herbie's] trying to tell us something
HARVEY: It's a car, woman, not Lassie!
