Mr. McCombs must be particularly grieving tonight, as Harvey was the original voice of the Great Gazoo.
Hedley Lamarr: Repeat after me: I...
Men: I...
Hedley Lamarr: ...your name...
Men: ...your name...
Hedley Lamarr: [to himself] Shmucks. [continues aloud] ...do pledge allegiance...
Men: ...do pledge allegiance...
Hedley Lamarr: ...to Hedley Lamarr...
Men: ...to Hedy Lamarr...
Hedley Lamarr: That's *Hedley*!
Men: That's Hedley.

My first thought was "hasn't he been dead for years?" Tim Conway is very sad tonite.

My favorite Korman memory was on Carol Burnett, when they did the continuing soap spoof As the Stomach Turns. Burnett's character was going bankrupt and she sobbed "I may have to ... sell myself on the street". Korman, not missing a beat: "nickels and dimes won't help!"
Now do do that voo doo that you do so well...
