Harvey Korman, comedian and actor most famous for sketches on the “Carol Burnett Show” in the 1960s and 70s, has died at age 81 from complications of an aneurysm.

Korman won four Emmys for the work he did with Carol Burnett and Tim Conway.  Korman is also known for his role as ‘Hedley Lamarr’ in the Mel Brooks movie “Blazing Saddles.”

In 2005 Korman said:

“It takes a certain type of person to be a television star.   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.”
