Ed McMahon Dies

Ed McMahon Ed McMahon has passed away at 86.

He died at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in California this morning. McMahon was fighting a multitude of health problems, including cancer.

Someone connected with the family told us, "Ed was at peace because he got his business taken care of. He settled his lawsuit with Cedars and with the settlement he was able to take care of his family."

He is best known as Johnny Carson's sidekick on "The Tonight Show" and for his infamous catchphrase, "Heeeeeeeeeeere's Johnny!"

McMahon also hosted "Star Search" and "TV Bloopers And Practical Jokes" with Dick Clark.

He was a colonel in the United States Marines and a fighter pilot and served during the late 1940s and 1950s.

Another calssy gentleman dies. This gives some credibility that there are calss acts in Hollywood. The newbies would do well to follow in the footsteps of these classic guys. They were not in the headlines for bad behavior, bad attitudes, criminal activities etc. RIP Ed, your clasic comedy wil be missed.
