Johnny Carson's sidekick on the Tonight show passed away at Midnight. Ed McMahon died at the age of 86 and was hospitalized in February with pneumonia and other medical problems.

He had suffered a number of health problems in recent years, including a neck injury caused by a 2007 fall. In 2002, he sued various insurance companies and contractors over mold in his house and later collected a $7 million settlement.

Here is a video clip of Ed on a show called Legends of the Superheroes

As most people here on the board saw him on the Tonight show with Johnny Carson. I remember when I was very little and being sick at around 10:30 p.m. and staying up with my day watching his final season as the host of the Tonight Show. For awhile I believed that my grandfather was Ed and to humor me he would always say, 'Heeeeeeeeeeeeeere's Johnny!' I would laugh and make him do it again and again.

Thank you Ed for being there from the best of times and not the best. Because of you, I have great memories and here is something else for the members Ed McMahon Rap (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t004aYy)

So....does this mean I didn't win the damn sweepstakes? Crap, how am I supposed to pay for all this crap?

On a serious note, I was never a fan but any enduring celebrity who manages to stay out of jail and off the scandal pages is pretty cool as far as I'm concerned. RIP buddy.

R.I.P. to Ed. He was the king of all co-hosts and made Johnny Carson that much more funny.

I watched the final TS Johnny episode again a few nights ago. I remember watching the night it aired. I think it's still as sad to watch now as it was back then.
