<p>&nbsp;</p><p>CAROL BURNETT:<br />
Danny Kaye&rsquo;s show went off the air in 1967 and The Carol Burnett Show was premiering that fall. All I could think about was, We need a Harvey Korman. We need a consummate actor with comedy chops to spare.<br />
I believe we had a call in to his agent when one afternoon I happened to see Harvey himself headed for his car in the CBS parking lot.<br />
I shouted, &ldquo;Harvey!&rdquo;<br />
And then proceeded to jump him.<br />
I seem to remember leaning him back over a car hood.<br />
&ldquo;Please, please be on our show! You&#39;re the very best! PLEASE?&rdquo;<br />
It wasn&#39;t exactly the most professional way to offer someone a job, but it<br />
worked. Harvey signed on, and I was in heaven.</p><p>BURT LANCASTER (OSCAR-WINNING ACTOR):<br />
&ldquo;Chris, your father is a brilliant actor. He creates these incredibly believable human characters. On live television, no less.&rdquo;</p><p>PETER MARSHALL (Emmy-Award-winning host of Hollywood Squares)<br />
&ldquo;I always tell people that Chris loves me so much that, when he was six years old and I was in the hospital, he chose to visit me over breakfast at IHOP.&rdquo;</p><p>MEL BROOKS (Oscar-winning writer/director)<br />
(Starred Harvey Korman in Blazing Saddles, High Anxiety, and History<br />
of the World Part 1): &ldquo;Chris, I loved your father, even though he could be a real asshole.&rdquo;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
