I just read about this a few minutes ago...I still cannot believe it!

I only knew him from the movies he made with Mel Brooks (High Anxiety, Blazing Saddles, History of the World Part 1), but those movies are CLASSICS!

Since we have some YouTube clips already, I'll post some movie quotes:

Hedley Lamarr: Repeat after me: I...
Men: I...
Hedley Lamarr: ...your name...
Men: ...your name...
Hedley Lamarr: [to himself] Shmucks.
[continues aloud]
Hedley Lamarr: ... do pledge allegiance...
Men: ...do pledge allegiance...
Hedley Lamarr: ...to Hedley Lamarr...
Men: ...to Hedy Lamarr...
Hedley Lamarr: That's *Hedley*!
Men: That's Hedley.

Count de Monet: My Lord, you look just like the piss-boy!
King Louis XVI: And you look like a bucket of shit!

Count de Monet: Don't get saucy with me, Bernaise.

IIRC, that should be:  ...whilst I will surely be risking an almost certain Academy Award Nomination...  (Just nitpicking)   ;)

R.I.P. Hedley!   [cry]

Oh nooo!  I can't believe it!   :( :(  I didn't see anything about it on yahoo! news.  I'm seriously a little down right now.  We lost a great talent.  RIP Hedy, er I mean, Hedley

Thanks for all of the great clips!

I literally grew up watching The Carol Burnett Show, and Harvey was always my favorite. My favorite 'family' clip was when they all played the game Sorry.

Harvey in the Mel Brooks stuff was so different than the Burnett show!

Anybody catch the iris opening up right on the horse's ass before they show Count DeMonet for the first time!!!!

RIP Harvey!

Thanks for posting all these great clips.  I was really sadden by the news of Harvey Korman's passing.  He was an enormous talent, and will be greatly missed.

Earlier this decade, my father and I were fortunate enough to see Korman and Tim Conway perform live at the Las Vegas Hlton, in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Of course, the show was brilliant.  The duo recreated some of their best routines and characters from "The Carol Burnett Show," including the ever-popular "Dentist" sketch.  I will always treaure my memories of getting to see these two highly-gifted comic legends perform their craft live.  R.I.P., Harvery. 

Actually, my favorite of the "Family" sketches is when Unice was a contestant on "The Gong Show."  Nothing beats her performance of Morris Albert's "Feelings."
