I just now found out about the death of Harvey Korman yesterday in Los Angeles.
Along with Hawkeye Pierce, Bugs Bunny and Groucho Marx, Korman -- with or without the brilliant Tim Conway at his side -- was one of my strongest inspirations growing up when it came to what I found hysterical and who I would eventually want to be like. I could go on for hours about the comedic genius of his contribution to The Carol Burnett Show and Blazing Saddles alone.
But better I just say a fond, sad goodbye -- and thank him for making me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe.
