I saw him with Tim Conway just a couple of years ago in Reno. It was a pretty big room (2500?) Nice show... It was on a whim... I glad we went.

Thanks for the laughs.

One of the greatest comedy sketches ever — Harvey in the Dentist’s chair.

[Most of the videos of it are of a later skit. The original doesn’t seem to be available, and it was funnier.]

Watch Korman. Even he couldn’t keep a straight face in this one.

Wasn't it fun to watch and see if/when they would make the others laugh uncontrollably through the skit?

Bless you Mr. Korman, you gave us a lot of fun!

Absolutely one of the funniest ever- his timing was brilliant- brought us many great LOL’s for many years.

Godspeed Harvey...and thanks.

Truly one of the greats! He's made me laugh more times than I could possibly count. Prayers go out for his loved ones. May God comfort them and give them strength in the difficult days ahead.

RIP, Hedley Lamar! You will be remembered for the laughter you brought so many of us!

Another REAL talent lost to Hollywood.

He had true talent.
His face was a lens through which you could “read his lines”...he didn't need to speak his lines.
A comedian whose talent is unmatched by those who survive him.
He could actually make one laugh without gross imagery or profanity.

I already miss him..may he rest in peace.

Aw, just damn!

Harvey was one of the last remaining entertainers from the Golden Age. I grew up laughing with this man. He was a part of my family’s store of good memories.

I grieve with his family and extended circle of friends and loved ones. Thank you, Mister Korman.

Sure a bunch of news just now. Korman was a solid comedian/actor.

Oh yeah..most definitely! That’s what I remember the most.

I suppose the old shows are on DVD somewhere. Would love to get some. Beat the comedy shows of today by far.
