Just think of all the mashers!
Poor man spent his whole life collecting spuds, and while everyone thought it strange no one had the heart to tell him.
Geremi (Jeremi) Gonzalez, who gained 11 of his 30 victories as a major-league pitcher during his rookie season of 1997, was fatally struck by lightning last weekend at the age of 33. Gonzalez battled arm problems and weight issues during his career, but had pitched in Japan’s Central League last year after making his final MLB appearance in 2006.

U. Utah Phillips, who was a fixture on the folk music scene from 1969 until ill health forced him to give up touring last year, has died at the age of 73. The singer-songwriter-entertainer (who was born Bruce Duncan Phillips but was inspired by country singer T. Texas Tyler’s stage name) had been an archivist for the state of Utah, but lost his job after running as the Peace and Freedom candidate for a U.S. Senate seat.

DAMMIT! Who will be our Hedley Lamarr now?
Noooooooo!!!
Poop. And I picked Tim Conway. RIP Harvey. We will miss you.
I am 41, and I must admit that Harvey (and Tim) on the Carol Burnett show formed the basis of my humor. Laugh at yourself. Laugh often. And with friends.
Damn Harvey, I’m gonna miss you.
Yeah, and Carol Burnett is on mine, only because death seems to happen to just about everyone and she would have been worth some unique points. Losing any cast member from TCBS is like losing an old childhood friend.
Rest well, Mr. Korman. You filled out a sweater better than I can ever hope to.
Amen. Who could forget the sketch where Conway was the dentist who kept injecting himself with Novocaine and Korman was the patient who could not control his laughter?
I’ll always remember Harvey as Rhett, keeping a straight face while Scarlett made her entrance in that costume.
Harvey: Scarlett, what a lovely outfit.
Carol: Thank you. I saw it in a window and just couldn’t resist.
I’m laughing as I type this. How did he do that scene?
On the anivesary show Korman explained why he couldn’t stop laughing in these sketches. During rehersal Conway wouldn’t do any of the physical humor, they would just go over the lines. Conway would go over some of the things he was planning with the cameraman and director but the cast had no idea. Korman was seeing it for the first time on camera.
Seconded. Both comic geniuses ( Genii?).
RIP Funnyman. RIP.
my guess - 6 or 7 takes, easy
My favorite Harvey Korman memories include the Jewish Mother on ‘As the Stomach Turns’, him cracking up at everything Tim did, and Max in the SunsetBlvd sendups.
No, that was done live in front of an audience. Carol had done it without the curtain rod in rehersal, but Bob Mackie came up with the idea and they decided to do it while taping for the first time. She did tell Harvey what they had planned, but he was the only one who knew.
I love the expression on Carol’s face. She is trying so hard to keep a straight face that her eyes are popping.
Lorenzo Odone, whose childhood diagnosis of adrenoleukodystrophy inspired his parents to formulate a treatment for that neurological condition, has passed away. Although expected to die before his ninth birthday, Odone (whose story inspired the film Lorenzo’s Oil) lived until the day after he turned 30.
