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.

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.

Why is it that when people are dead, other people feel as if they have to say nice things about them? Ok then I will say something good. Ed Mc Mahon is dead, thats good. Pam can go on another shopping spree now. People die everyday. So what.. who cares!!!
