Harvey Korman, R.I.P...But Watch His Gayest, Funniest Clips!
"A world without Harvey Korman - it's a more serious world. It was very dangerous for me to work with him because if our eyes met we'd crash to floor in comic ecstasy. It was comedy heaven to make Harvey Korman laugh.''
That's Mel Brooks commenting on the sad death of Harvey Korman. Korman was more than just funny -- he was the master of the double-take, the king of the spit-take, and most important, he managed to make just about every character he played just a tad gay. Take a look at some of just a few of the funniest, gayest clips of Korman's career, kicking off with his infamous "pledge to Heddy Lamar" from "Blazing Saddles." That's HEADLEY!
How bittersweet! He'll forever make us laugh. The Dr Jekyll and Ms Hyde bit is particularly excellent.

Sad he's gone, but this was a great way to start the day. I spit out my coffee when he said, "It's HEADLEY!" He will be sorely missed and there will never be another Harvey Korman!

It's sad to think we've lost someone of his caliber. There are no comics of this day that even come close to the genius of Harvey, Tim Conway, Carol Burnette and Vicki Lawrence. The show was hysterical then and is still just as hysterical now.
Thank you Harvey!

How many happy times we spent in my
living room watching the genius of
this lovely man. He will surely missed by many and sad he has left us. When
someone of this character leaves us it always leaves a sting. Thank you Harvey, Headley,Count de Money and all
the other rich characters you gave us.
Knock em dead up there buddy.

Wow, How sad he's gone. I remember watching him in the late 60's as a kid. I loved him. He was amazing!!!

Carol and company were the best! Harvey, you always defined entertainment. You may be gone but no one can rob me of the fabulous memories. Many today will aspire but none will reach the same heights. Thanks so much!!!
