Harvey Korman.

Man--loved that guy.

And Harvey Korman and Tim Conway?  An early OTP if you ask me:

Korman and Conway developed an uncanny rapport that made them arguably one of television's most lethal comic teams; Conway's on-camera ad-libs often made Korman crack up; producers wisely kept them in the show.

For about eight years, until late last December, the pair toured the country in a stage show that, more than anything, was a homage to their years with Burnett. They performed about 120 shows a year.

"I don't know whether either one of us was the straight man," Conway said. "The most important thing in comedy when you're working together is for one guy to know when to shut up. And we both knew when to shut up; quiet show, actually."  (From here)

They worked together for 30 years and were still touring together!



RIP Mr. Korman.  You brought joy and laughter (sometimes uncontrollable) to millions.
