I can't believe I can't find ONE picture of Count de Monet. A blasphemous shame.

I loved him on the Carol Burnett show. That whole cast was one of the best ensembles in sketch TV.

One of the unappreciated greats. I've loved Korman since I was a kid watching the Carol Burnett show.

Did anyone else see the PBS special "Pioneers of TV" last night? They did variety shows, and the Carol Burnett show was one of those featured.

+1 on that. I used to bust a gut watching those two on the Carol Burnett Show. Awesome.

+1... There's a sketch of them in a dentist's office that's an absolute scream. Korman broke character a couple of times because he couldn't stop laughing.

Check him out in High Anxiety- a lesser-known Mel Brooks classic.

Oh, yes indeed. Add in his great work with Mel Brooks, and he's extremely underrated.

I loved it when during a skit Carol or Tim Conway would do or say something unbelievably funny, and Harvey would turn away from the audience and start shaking his shoulders from laughter. The audience would howl in laughter over it!

He is a classic. Very funny and talented guy.

I loved to watch the Carol Burnette show and watch them lose it during the skits. Korman was the worst, Conway would always make him laugh.
