It saddens us to inform you that Ed McMahon - the legendary television personality who served as Johnny Carson's sidekick - passed away in LA around midnight this morning. The 86 year old funny man had been struggling with bone cancer.
Without Ed McMahon's famous "He-e-e-e-e-e-ere's Johnny!" introduction, and his spectacular rapport with Johnny Carson, the Tonight Show would never have become the iconic late night show we remember it as today.
Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon were one of the best television tandems. One look at this clip of a tipsy McMahon being chided by Johnny is enough to show why they were so successful on screen for so many years.
From all of us at guyville.com: we'll miss you, Ed.
