Ed McMahon's Gone

The Ultimate Sidekick Passes Away...


I was sorry to hear that Johnny Carson's straight man Ed McMahon passed away this morning. I suspect that most everyone in my generation enjoyed his appearances on the Tonight Show before his career fell into disarray and he had to resort to hawking insurance and "senior" benefits on late night TV.

Here's a look at him in his "heyday"...




Here he is striking the same pose as a younger man...



(he must have liked that look)


And here's what I suspect he'll be doing tonight about 11 PM EST...




RIP Mr. McMahon
