Sadness

I got home and checked my twitter posts. I saw a quick one from Wil Wheaton that said Harvey Korman had died. My heart was shocked. I quickly went to CNN.com and read that yes, Harvey Korman died today.

So, I cried a little bit. This man has made me laugh until I hurt. I loved watching him on the Carol Burnett Show. I love "Blazing Saddles."

One of his most endearing qualities was his absolutely inability to hold back laughter when Tim Conway was hamming it up. Check this out:




I know that I am at the age when the people that I have watched on television and heard on the radio and seen in movies are beginning to die. I don't like it. But, tonight ... I'm sad because Harvey Korman is gone.
