Ed McMahon, best known as Johnny Carson's sidekick for 30 years, passed away early this morning at the age of 86. Ed was also a comedian, game-show host, and a WWII Marine Fighter Pilot. I can only imagine that someone up there is getting a big check from the Publisher's Clearing House right now.
Not to get too sappy, but when I think of Ed, two things come to mind. The first, sitting with my parents in the family room watching Johnny and Ed do what they did so well, and enjoying every second of it.
The second, is how gracious he was to Phil Hartman in his portrayal of Ed, another moment in TV that will stick with me. You will be missed, sir.
