Harvey Korman will not be down for breakfast...

[DisneyMom]

So sad to hear that Mr. Harvey Korman of the Carol Burnett Show passed away at the age of 81 (from a brain aneurysm). :(

That brings the total to three cast members from Blazing Saddles that have passed on :(

I was so sad to hear this this morning. :( I LOVED the Carol Burnett Show and he was so funny on that. One of my all time faves was when they did a *re-make* of Gone With The Wind and Carol Burnett made a dress of the curtains with the curtain rod still in them! Harvey played opposite her and could hardly keep a straight face. They all had trouble keeping a straight face on that show, they were all so funny with each other. Hilarious!

I have a set of Carol Burnett Shows and I think I will have to sit down and have some great laughs watching him with Tim Conway and the rest of the gang. What a great guy and a very funny man. His humor will be missed!

I forgot to ask, who are the the other two? I can't think right now. Brain fart.

OMG! That GWTW drapery dress skit was the funniest thing ever on tv, IMHO! :hysteria:

Actually it's now 5

1. Cleavon Little (Sheriff)
2. Madeline Kahn (Lili Von Shtupp)
3. Slim Pickens (Taggart)
4. Liam Dunn (Rev. Johnson)

This morning I heard it was an abdominal aortic aneurysm, not a brain aneurysm. My mom has an AAA--two, actually--and they recently told her that hers had grown but didn't say by how much. Uh-oh....

Doh, you are correct. I forgot about the other two.

Madiline Kahn died too... I didn't know that. :(

I'm too young to have seen the Carol Burnett Show, but my grandfather used to show it to my brother and I on VHS tape (because we had a tendancy as children to loose interest in Laural and Hardy pretty fast, them being silent.) I used to love watching those tapes. They don't make shows like that these days in America, at least not that I ever saw. There's the Catherine Tate show, but that's BBC.

Sad to hear that Mr. Korman has passed. It's sad that the entertainment world has lost a valuable jewel in the crown of classic comedy.

Yes, you are correct.AAA.
I'm sorry your mom has two, I'm sure the doctor is monitoring her frequently with ultrasound.
