The Curtain Falls on a Great ...

I was having lunch today and reading a news paper at the restaurant when I noticed a small article about the passing of Harvey Korman at the age of 81 ...

Anyone who has been around here for awhile will KNOW I have a definite affinity for the breath-takingly brilliant comedy bits that Harvey Korman and Tim Conway created for The Carol Burnett show back in the day ...

The Dentist Sketch looms larger than life as one of the best amongst the best ... watching Korman try desperately NOT to crack up as Conway did what Conway does best, is a wonderful way to pass a few minutes and cheer yourself up ...

There are others ... so many moments of hilarity and fun ... Korman and Conway made an amazing comedic duo, and thanks to places like Youtube, we can revisit them again and again and again ...

We've lost a great one today ... his comic genius will be missed ... but thank goodness some of his finest work was captured on film, and will continue to linger for a very long time ...

Stay tuned ... I'll dig out more Korman-Conway bits and post them ...
