[post_page_title]Begging Korman[/post_page_title]
As the show began taking shape, the producers really wanted somebody to come into the production like Harvey Korman. They didn’t think to approach Korman himself because he was busy with a different show at the time, The Danny Kaye Show, so they just started looking for someone they could use that would give a similar performance. Burnett managed to have a chance meeting with Korman in a parking lot and pretty much begged him to join her show. Korman was soon to be out of work so accepted the offer.

[post_page_title]No love for Van Dyke[/post_page_title]
Korman proved to be a huge hit on the show and when he was absent from it, the producers looked to a massive star to fill the void left by him. They approached Dick Van Dyke thinking he would be the perfect fit as his larger than life personality would help people forget about Korman. Audiences really didn’t like Van Dyke and he was removed from the show just three months after first appearing in 1977.
