Ed McMahon in ICU -- Pneumonia, Cancer

Posted Feb 27th 2009 7:25PM by TMZ Staff

ed mcmahon: exclusive UPDATE: We've just learned Ed is in the ICU and his condition is "extremely serious." As one person close to him put it -- "It's not great, to say the least."

We're told Ed McMahon has been hospitalized for nearly a month with pneumonia, bone cancer and other medical problems.

McMahon's condition is "serious" which is pretty obvious given his age -- 85 -- and the fact he has pneumonia.

We contacted Ed's rep, Howard Bragman, who confirmed the hospitalization and added, "He's not at Cedars-Sinai" -- a dig on the hospital Ed is suing for alleged malpractice and elder abuse.

167. Some people make a big deal about this guy. Why. He had exactly no talent. Only a stooge for Carson. A pitchman for everything including Publishers Clearing House which I am sure had gullible older people sending money they couldn't afford because they believed in him. Then he had the nerve to beg for money so his home would not go to foreclosure. What a joke.

168. I've worked with Ed numerous times and he is undoubtedly one of the nicest people in this whole backstabbing town. No one desrves what he has endured this year and I wish him nothing but good things ahead. Be well, Ed!!
