Never watched "Carol Burnett," but "Blazing Saddles" is one of the films that got me into watching movies. RIP, Heddy... I mean Hedley.

I adored this man! Favorite film roles were, naturally, Blazing Saddles AND I loved him in his similar role in History of The World Part I. However, the hardest I ever laughed at him was when he played Quint (Robert Shaw's character in Jaws) as a plumber on Carol Burnett. Too funny! Also a wee weird that he came up in an RT article just last week and was said to have been dead then...
