Career
In "Decisions, Makings, Decisions," Korman's first television appearance was as a head waiter in the Donna Reed Show episode "Decisions, Decisions, Decisions." In a January 1961 episode of CBS drama Route 66, he appeared as a comically outraged public relations man. Since that, he appeared on numerous television shows, including Blake in the 1964 film "Who Chopped Down the Cherry Tree?" "The Case of the Unsuitable Uncle" on NBC medical drama The Eleventh Hour and a bartender in the 1962 Perry Mason episode "The Case of the Unsuitable Uncle" is a NBC medical drama. He appeared on The Danny Kaye Show from 1963 to 1967 as a supporting actor. He appeared in three films, including Dr. Allison in "Who Needs Glasses." (1962) on ABC's The Donna Reed Show (1962). Dennis the Menace and the NBC contemporary western series Empire were both starring him.
Fred Gwynne and Yvonne De Carlo starred in three years on CBS' The Munsters from 1964 to 1966. Korman appeared on ABC's The Flintstones as the voice of The Great Gazoo in its final season on network television during the 1965-1966 season.
Korman's first appearance at The Carol Burnett Exhibition in 1967 brought him his greatest praise. He received six Emmy Award nominations and four on the show in 1969, 1971, 1972, and 1974. The exact name of the category changed a little during the period, but the award was given for Outstanding Achievement by a supporting performer in either music or variety show. He was also nominated for four Golden Globes for the series, winning the award in 1975. He left The Carol Burnett Show to headline his own sitcom on ABC, the Harvey Korman Show, which only lasted five episodes.
Korman earned more fame by playing Hedley Lamarr in the 1974 Mel Brooks film Blazing Saddles, despite appearing on The Carol Burnett Show. Dr. Charles Montague appeared in Brooks' High Anxiety (1977) as Dr. Charles Montague. In 1978, he appeared in three of the special's variety segments, one as Chef Gormaanda, a four-armed parody of Julia Child, and another as a malfunctioning Amorphian robot in an instruction video. In 1980, he appeared in the Disney film Herbie Goes Bananas. In Brooks' History of the World, Part 1, he portrayed Count de Monet.

He appeared in Mel Brooks' short-lived television series The Nutt House and in his last Mel Brooks film Dr. Seward's zany Dr. Seward in Dracula: Dead and Loving It. He appeared in Leo & Liz, a failed CBS comedy series in Beverly Hills, with Valerie Perrine in 1986.
In 1982, he reunited with Carol Burnett and Vicki Lawrence in the TV film Eunice, reprising his role of Ed Higgins from "The Family" sketches from The Carol Burnett Show. In addition to launching every episode of the series during its first two-season NBC network run, he continued his role on Mama's Family, depicting fictional television host Alistair Quince as well as directing 31 episodes of the series.

The two returned to the United States later that year, reprising skits from the show and performing new material.
