Harvey Korman was/is a legend. It was often said that Tim Conway’s major goal in life was to completely destroy Harvey… by making him crack up in fits of laughter. All the moments where the cast members completely lose it from watching Tim’s antics (especially Harvey) is the best part of the show

This episode was the first time I saw Harvey Korman not acting. I love his acting/comedy and he seems to be a down to earth person. I couldn't believe someone in the audience thought he was joking and laughed when he was telling us what happened to him. May he R.I.P.
I wasn't too familiar with Harvey Korman before this, but I found this interview very interesting and entertaining. This channel is so important - not just in preserving Carson's legacy, but in preserving entertainment history as a whole.
He’s not at all well known here in the UK, we only really saw him in Mel Brooks films. Every time he pops up, I really enjoy his interviews and performances, *except* the Star Wars Holiday Special. Obviously, the material was very poor but, unlike Art Carney and Bea Arthur, he doesn’t manage to do anything with it, and it’s painfully unfunny.
I miss Johnny Carson. He was a terrific host, and had the best guests whether they were famous or not. Comedy was so much better back then too, unlike a lot of vulgar comedy today. Harvey Korman was great, as were all of the co-stars on the Carol Burnett Show. I rarely watch TV today, and prefer watching older stuff on TH-cam.
Korman as Hedley Lamar in Blazing Saddles is a tour de force of pure comedy. One of his best skits on the Carol Burnett Show was he was a snooty rich fart in a smoking jacket in his mansion who is forced to answer his own phone. He prances over to the side table where the ringing phone sits by a bowl of fruit and a vase of flowers. He reaches out, grabs a banana and holds it to his ear, "hallo? hallo?" Ring ring ring---he looks at his hand, rolls his eyes and marvels how he could make such a silly mistake. He flips the banana stem up "hallo? hallo?" 😂🤣😂🤣🏆
It's great to see a talk show in which there's talking and an actually, authentic conversation, not just one attempt after another to get laughs. Today's talk show hosts, take note.
Harvey Korman was one of my Favorite characters on the Carol Burnett show he was absolutely wonderful and so was the entire cast but I also love Ken Berry and of course Carol Burnett and Vicki Lawrence and the rest of the cast they were all just wonderful and funny I’m gonna miss them😮
Wow, I never knew this about Harvey Korman. Though it makes me think he was somewhat accident prone, considering at the beginning of the second season of "The Carol Burnett Show," he broke his toe, and then later on in the second season, he busted his hand. And then there was Season 3 Episode 2 with Nancy Wilson and Bernadette Peters during Carol's Carmen Miranda salute, when he jumped over Carol's skirt and landed flat on his back (but he didn't seem to have hurt himself too badly there).
It's worth going down the rabbit hole of watching videos with him in them....including Blazing Saddles. Here's a legendary classic from the Carol Burnett show: th-cam.com/video/9IUSM4EKcRI/w-d-xo.html
Now that's what you call true pals !4 jokers at the same dinner table having a riot at each others expense ... That would not happen today in 2023 ! Would it ?
Harvey, Tim and Carol literally kept me alive with laughter in my childhood.
Miss these legends! Very blessed we still have Carol with us who turned 90 years old.
Wow 90 years old. Seems legit since it was 1974, damnit I'm old... 50 this yr

Can’t take all the late night shows now…. Vulgar and too political and too woke
These stories are legendary.
Great Interview about both their injuries, and with Johnny did at the restaurant was phenomenal. Wish you could’ve seen that in person.

That was "Rancid Harvest," which was a parody of the movie "Random Harvest." I have never seen the actual movie, but the parody was hysterical.
Glad that life had these two men in it.
I worked on Saturday night and missed Carol and Harvey for years. Saw him later and was glad to see him.
What a great segment!
Harvey... Genius ❤

Love both of these men. So many laughs!! RIP and God bless!!
I was so sad when he died. RIP.
I loved Harvey in the Carol Burnett show. Sometimes he couldn't keep a straight face due to laughing.
These were the good old days of Carson for me. L.A. celeb life was good, mellow, and conservative. Safe as milk.
LA celebs are liberal by nature. They care about others. Thank God.
Harvey was great in "Blazing Saddles" and "High Anxiety", both Mel Brooks movies.

What would the Carol Burnett show have done if Harvey drowned?? I wonder if "Mammy's Family" would ever have happened.
A nice and funny man
I knew a young man who experienced a broken neck from body surfing. Recovered, but not 100%. Be careful.
Harvey should have reciprocated!
GOD USED THIS YOUNG KID TO SAVE HIM .THANK God he should have said
💛
Not a fun experience. Discombobulated, one of the worse ways to go.

Hedley Lamar
John Wayne was seriously Injured body surfing.
And three years later he would ditch his first wife.
His first wife cheated on him, though.
@@DreamDancer82And she 'ditched' him.
Korman never funny a day in his life.
As my dad often quotes whoever said this, "De gustibus non est disputandum."
Or you never possessed a sense of humor a day in yours.
I love ❤️ Harvey.
