one of the funnyest people in the world has died
R.I.P. Harvey Korman
Attorney General Hedley Lamarr (Blazing Saddles) was my all-time favorite character. Favorite dialogue:
Hedley Lamarr: Meeting adjourned. Oh, I am sorry, sir (to Governor); I didn't mean to overstep my bounds. You say that.
Governor William J. Le Petomane (Mel Brooks): What?
Hedley Lamarr: Meeting is adjourned.
Governor William J. Le Petomane: It is?
Hedley Lamarr: No, *you* say that, governor.
Governor William J. Le Petomane: What?
Hedley Lamarr: Meeting is adjourned.
Governor William J. Le Petomane: It is?
Hedley Lamarr: Here, sir; play with this.

Harvey Korman (Count de Money): Wait for the shake ... here's your tip (tosses coin into piss bucket).
Mel Brooks, as the Piss Boy: I'll get it later.
From History of the World Part I.
Classic. RIP Harvey.

And all of the wonderful schtick on the old Carol Burnette show with Tim Conway, Lyle Waggoner and Vicki Lawrence.
Bill, tgo
This one's warped! Why do I always get the warped ones?
I might have that put on my tombstone...
Don't get saucy with me, Bernaise!
RIP Harvey

And let us not forget The Great Gazoo from the Flintstones cartoons. He provided the original voice.

RIP Harvey K
He was also in Lord love a Duck, if you like odd cultish films - he was the School Principal to Roddy McDowell and Tuesday Weld.
