RIP Harvey Korman

Posted by Dane of War May 30, 2008

One of my absolute favorite comics has passed away...

Comic actor Harvey Korman has died at 81, according to the UCLA Medical Center.

Korman died at the center four months after suffering complications from the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.

"It was a miracle in itself that he survived the incident at all. Everyone in the hospital referred to him as 'miracle man' because of his strong will and ability to bounce right back after several major operations," said Korman's daughter, Kate Korman. "Tragically, after such a hard-fought battle, he passed away."

Korman was a regular on "The Carol Burnett Show" from 1967 through 1978, for which he won Emmy awards in 1969, 1971, 1972 and 1974. He also won a Golden Globe for his work on the series.

Growing up, we watched The Carol Burnett Show every single week - Korman, along with Tim Conway, had me in stitches every single time. Part of my daily routine was impersonating their antics to the entertainment of my parents.

RIP Harv. Thanks for the good times.
