R.I.P. Harvey Korman, Thanks For The Laughs

I regret never having the chance to meet the comedic genius Harvey Korman during my Hollywood years.

If I did, I would’ve thanked him for making my life happier because of his hilarity. Mostly I’d tell him how he inspired me in my comedic efforts, and how I laughed hardest at sketches where he and Tim Conway would crack up during a scene but keep going (oftentimes those made me laugh so hard they brought tears to my eyes).

I was saddened to hear of his passing, and offer a handful of great clips to remember him by:

O.J. Simpson Arrested For Burglary In Vegas! (w/video link)

scottso — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 19:24:14 +0000

LAS VEGAS NV – (Alleged) murderer/long-time criminal (oh yeah, and former football star/actor) O.J. Simpson was arrested Sunday on charges related to an armed robbery involving sport memorabilia, police said.

Simpson was arrested shortly after 11 a.m. and is being brought to a police office, Capt. James Dillon said. Police are still determining charges against Simpson.

Several police officers were seen entering the hotel where Simpson is staying; a security guard said police took Simpson out a side door shortly after.

At least one other person has been arrested and police said earlier Sunday that as many as six people could be arrested in connection with the alleged armed robbery that occurred in a room inside the Palace Station casino-hotel on Thursday.

Simpson, 60, has said he and other people with him were retrieving items that belonged to him. He told police no guns were involved.

Police said two firearms and other evidence were seized at a private residence early Sunday.

Walter Alexander, 46, of Arizona, was arrested Saturday night on two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery and burglary with a deadly weapon.

Watch the video of O.J. leaving a wedding Sat. night in Vegas; listen to the song he’s whistling!

JOKESTARTERS:

Sure, no guns were involved, but did they check for any knives?
According to authorities, Simpson plans another huge defense. He’s already exhumed the body of the late Johnny Cochran to serve as his lead defender/smelly rotting corpse.
