I used to love it when he couldn't help but laugh at Tim in the skits. He will leave a big hole in comedy that will be hard to fill.

Those Carol Burnett skits are classics.

He and Tim Conway together were up there with the funniest teams ever. It was so funny watching Korman try not to crack up during the skits with Conway. I think my favorite was Conway doing the "old man" routine as the clock repairman. Korman was almost hysterical through the whole thing.

The comedy world lost two of the greats. Trader, I agree I laughed harder when Harvey was losing it.

You just don't see that kind of comedy anymore.

I enjoyed watching Harvey and Tim on Carol Burnett.
