'Carol Burnett Show' veteran Harvey Korman
dies at 81
By Jim Cheng, USA TODAY
Harvey Korman was proud of his training at
Chicago's Goodman Theatre, where he performed
Shakespeare, Shaw and Ibsen.
But the versatile actor and comedian will
forever be known for raising being "second
banana" into an art of the highest order,
especially during his 10 years on The Carol
Burnett Show.
Korman died Thursday in Los Angeles of
complications from the rupture of an
abdominal aortic aneurysm four months ago,
his family said. He was 81.
Korman, a native of Chicago, was a character
actor from the beginning, playing the butler
in a seventh-grade production of Heidi. In
high school he was active in drama club, and
after graduating, he enlisted in the Navy
during World War II. After the war, Korman
returned to Chicago, where his high school
drama teacher recommended him for further
study at Goodman.
He gained his first extended TV exposure as a
regular for four seasons on The Danny Kaye
Show in the early '60s. His also did
voice-over work on Tom and Jerry and as the
Great Gazoo on The Flintstones.
But he came into his own in 1967, when he
joined Burnett's CBS variety show. He won
four Emmys and a Golden Globe for his work
and became famous for trying, and usually
failing, to keep a straight face when
confronted with the antics of his frequent
sketch partner Tim Conway.
"You learn to work fast," Korman once said,
describing the art of sketch comedy. "Yet, it
has to have two elements: It has to have
truth to it, and it has to be funny."
Burnett and Korman spoofed classic movies
such as Gone With the Wind and soap operas
such as As the World Turns, which they dubbed
As the Stomach Turns. They also teamed up as
Ed and Eunice, a bickering married couple who
were at odds with the wife's mother (Vicki
Lawrence).
Although he never found the same success on
TV once he left Burnett in 1977, Korman
worked steadily in a number of TV series. He
hosted The Harvey Korman Show in 1978 and was
a regular on The Tim Conway Show in 1980-81.
In the mid-'80s, he reprised his Burnett Ed
role in the NBC comedy Mama's Family.
Korman was a favorite of Mel Brooks and
worked with the director in four films,
including his memorable turn as the leering
Hedley Lemarr in 1974's Blazing Saddles.
His other film credits include 1979's
Americathon and 1982's The Trail of the Pink
Panther.
"It takes a certain type of person to be a
television star," he said in an interview in
2005. "I didn't have whatever that is. I come
across as kind of snobbish and maybe a little
too bright.
"Give me something bizarre to play or put me
in a dress and I'm fine."
