    Some disparaged him, but IMO they don't realize how tough it was to be the straight man for the insanity that was Johnny Carson.

    Rest in peace Ed.....

    Ed McMahon dies at age 86

    Associated Press

    Los Angeles -- Ed McMahon, the loyal "Tonight Show" sidekick who bolstered boss Johnny Carson with guffaws and a resounding "H-e-e-e-e-e-ere's Johnny!" for 30 years, died early Tuesday. He was 86.

    McMahon died shortly after midnight at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center surrounded by his wife, Pam, and other family members, said his publicist, Howard Bragman.

    Bragman didn't give a cause of death, saying only that McMahon had a "multitude of health problems the last few months."

    McMahon had bone cancer, among other illnesses, according to a person close to the entertainer, and had been hospitalized for several weeks. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to release the information.
