RIP Ed McMahon (sp?)
 

per Fox News

MSNBC has reported it also so print'em.



On a side note:

Over the weekend i had a work friend die (suicide). Everyone is all freaked out. He was honestly well liked by all, low key. No one could say a discouraging word about him.

So sad.

R.I.P.

Haaaay-oooooh! He made a living sitting and laughing, not bad work if you can get it. So raise a Budweiser, give your dog a can of Alpo. He will be missed I give him 3 and three quarters stars. RIP.

NBC, msnbc.com and news services

LOS ANGELES - Television host Ed McMahon, best known as Johnny Carson's sidekick on the 'Tonight Show,' has died at age 86, his publicist said Tuesday.

McMahon died just past midnight at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, agent Howard Bragman said.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!! Now I'll never know if I had won 10 million dollars.

He was the second greatest Cash for Gold spokesman behind MC Hammer.

sonofabitch never showed up at my door with a check for a million. Dammit!

Sad. RIP, Ed. You were the king of the 2nd bananas.

RIP Ed. And thank you for your service. he was a fighter pilot in WWII and Korea.

he and Carson made a team that will last as long as TV.

"Hoh, hoh, hoh, hoh,..... RIGHT YOU ARE SIR!"

RIP Ed. Jokes aside you were a master of setting funny up for Johnny. Heaven now has the best talk show they've ever had.

RIP. Little known fact, Ed was also a Colonel in the reserves well into the 1970's.

All the appropriate tributes have been taken, so I'll just say RIP.

you are correct sir...

I don't see why people say it's sad...dude was almost 90, and lived an incredibly blessed life...

Pretty much how I see it. We had an 86 year old woman pass away last week at church. It was kind of unexpected, since she was is pretty good health overall - she was still independent, she drove, etc. She lived a very rich life (escaped from East Germany in '55) and had incredibly strong faith. She frequently spoke of dying and had no fear of it. The way she passed away (respiratory infection, sick for less than a week) was probably about as easy as anyone could ask for.

Heeeeeeeeeere's St Peter!


Honestly, I never understood Ed McMahon's role on that show. Why was he there? What did he do? He just sat at the end of the couch and laughed. That had to be the best job in the history of the world. More power to him for making a living that way, but ... wow. Good gig.

Nobody probably said an encouraging word to his face. These kind of things remind me to let the people who I care about know it.

And I didn't want to come off mean there, I re-read it and kinda sounded it. That really sucks, and what I was trying to say was that we should let the people we love and care about know it so they don't do anything like this. My condolences to you and your friends though.

Thanks and agree 100% with you.

Sometimes you are a breath of fresh air.:D

Had a nice job and a nice life, RIP.

Just remember Big Ed hosted "Star Search". The talent show long before American Idol.

Ed introduced us to Sinbad, Rosie O'Donnell as well as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake before Disney "discovered" them.

The power of 3

Alyssa Milano, Shannon Doherty, and Holly Marie Combs? :hump:

Well, Johnny Carson's completed his guest list for tonight's show in the afterlife. His sidekick showed up, Farrah's the first guest, and Michael Jackson is the musical number...
