Mr. Korman died yesterday, and I would have liked to tell him how much I've appreciated his contributions to my sense of humor.
He was Hedley Lamarr, Rat Butler, the Great Gazoo, Professor Auguste Balls, Dr. Charles Montague, and always funny.
Although he was usually the straight man — to Mel Brooks or Carol Burnett — his lines were usually great, telling Nurse Diesel (in High Anxiety), "More bondage, less discipline," or Slim Pickens (in Blazing Saddles), "My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives," or "'Ditto?' 'Ditto?' You provincial putz?"
He was great.
Rest in peace, Mr Korman, and thank you.
