RIP Harvey Korman

[janradder]

When I was in fourth grade I looked forward to five o'clock.  That's because The Carol Burnett Show was on. Each day, I'd grab a bottle of my favorite soda, Dr. Pepper (which I'd only recently discovered), sit down on the couch, and watch my favorite television show.  Though I liked Tim Conway best, Harvey Korman came in a close second, if only because I loved the Ed and Eunice skits (and I always thought it was hilarious when Korman would lose it it during Conway's antics).  Harvey Korman played such a great ass  -- either a small minded twit or someone so full of himself no one could stand to be around him -- which made it hard for him to ever be a star in his own right.  I'd sit on that couch drinking my soda and laughing so hard my stomach hurt.  Ah, Harvey, we'll always have our Dr. Pepper.

For several years, I was getting my parents theater tickets for Christmas each year. My best purchase of this sort was tickets to see Tim Conway and Harvey Korman. They called me from the show to tell me how great it was. And to tell me that Jimmy Dean the Sausage King was sitting two rows in front of them.
