His most memorable film role was as the outlandish Hedley Lamarr in Mel Brooks' 1974 Western satire, "Blazing Saddles."

Re: Harvey Korman dies at 81
Very sad.
He was amazing on the Carol Burnett Show. Watching him and Tim Conway trying to crack each other up was priceless. Remember the fireman and the old man sketch or Went With the Wind? They don't make 'em like that anymore. I laugh thinking about it!
A true comedic genius.

Re: Harvey Korman dies at 81
The Dentist skit with Korman and Tim Conway has got to be one of the funniest ever filmed. How they did it without cracking up is amazing.
RIP Harvey.

Re: Harvey Korman dies at 81
If you ever saw the skit of Conway acting as a butler trying to open a door he'd just polished while wearing gloves; sheer comedic genius. In that one he really did get Korman to crack up. Apparently there wasn't even much of a script, they just gave them the basic idea and told them to run with it.
