Sad News for Funny Folks

The last month has had some pretty sad happenings for the comedy community, and I think we would be remiss if we don’t mention them…

You may remember that May 29, Harvey Korman passed away.  Well, yesterday George Carlin passed on as well.  I just think - as a group focused on comedy, we need to take a moment to tip our collective hat to some pretty revolutionary and talented guys who have provided so much inspiration and paved the road in so many ways.

"Funny is when you’re serious." - Harvey Korman

"It takes a certain type of person to be a television star. I didn’t have whatever that is. I come across as kind of snobbish and maybe a little too bright. … Give me something bizarre to play or put me in a dress and I’m fine." - Harvey Korman

"The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done."  - George Carlin

"I think people should be allowed to do anything they want. We haven’t tried that for a while. Maybe this time it’ll work." - George Carlin
