Comic Harvey Korman Dead At 81

Actor Harvey Korman, a second-banana comic who appeared in numerous Mel Brooks movies and was featured on The Carol Burnett Show in the 1960s and '70s, died Thursday in Los Angeles at age 81 from complications from a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. Unlike many comedians who are often dour offstage, his daughter Katherine Korman told the New York Times Thursday, her father "was always funny in real life. ... He would like to see how far he could push the limits, making people laugh. If he were here now, he would want us to be joking."
