Shhh ... don't say that too loud. Mongo thinks the movie was about him.
Harvey Korman was a lot of fun.
when angels look at earth to see
what they can do for you and me
i'm sure they often wonder why
we wait so long before we die
preferring to remain in misery
but now that harvey's there to tell
the jokes they even love in hell
the angels may begin to guess
that laughter makes the pain hurt less
as even they will fall beneath his spell
So true! Blazing Saddles is a classic on so many levels with so many stars, but without Corman it wouldn't be the same.

Absolute Classic:
Taggart: What do you want me to do, sir?
Hedley Lamarr: I want you to round up every vicious criminal and gunslinger in the west. Take this down.
[Taggart looks for a pen and paper while Hedley talks]
Hedley Lamarr: I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists!
Taggart: [finding pen and paper] Could you repeat that, sir?
He was such a talent! Probably one of the best straight men in the business. Mel Brooks purposely wrote his parts with tonguetwister like lines, because he knew that Harvey could pull it off.
I had wanted to see his and Tim Conway's show, but never got around to it. They played a local junior college every few years. Oh, well.
In watching the old Carol Burnett show, you see the way he and Tim used to crack each other up, they were trying so hard not to laugh - it was a genuine testament to their bladder control.
You will be missed, Harvey.
