My wife and I both grew up watching Burnett, Conway and Korman. Great, great team.

My parents were watching some old show on PBS the other day, it was a Best Of type of thing with all the old comedians, Burnett, Carson, Korman, Conway, some Laugh In skits...those guys (and women) were geniuses. How they kept a straight face in some of those bits just baffles me.

These things happen in 3's, I wonder who will be next...

Grew up watching The Carol Burnett Show reruns. Loved the show. Loved how they tried to make each other laugh. And it was great to see it when they succeeded, which seemed to be often.

The best were when Harvey and Tim would go at it. Great, great sketch comedy.

There probably aren't many professional comedians in the world responsible for a higher percentage of my total laughs than Harvey Korman. Gave a whole lot of people a whole lot of happiness.

Godspeed.

I missed that one. Hopefully that is all for a while.

That's pretty much exactly what I was going to post. Sad to see him go.
