R.I.P Ed McMahon
Funnyman and late night TV icon Ed McMahon is dead. McMahon lost his battle with bone cancer last night at UCLA Medical Center. He would have turned 86 today.
McMahon had been admitted to the hospital on Feb. 27, 2009 in extremely serious condition. At the time his publicist stated he was diagnosed with pneumonia.
McMahon will always be remembered as the witty sidekick to Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show, and as the host for TV’s long running Star Search in the 80s. One of McMahon’s last gigs was as spokesman for Publisher’s Clearing House Sweepstakes.

publishers clearing house, that mess. RIP. now what happens to his house, u ask?
RIP Ed
This made me sad…. RIP Ed!
RIP Ed McMahon. He lived a long and eventful life.
This guy was in the lime light most of his life and to battle being sick along with a foreclosue was sad. Let’s not forget he cohosted “The Jerry Lewis” Telethons. I hope he is now at peace. Remember when it was reported that he was facing money issues and he did a commercial with the big gold chains and the rapper attire? I found it to be more embarassing than funny. RIP Mr. McMahon.
R.I.P.
@ anna
i remember that commercial, and he had those half naked girls around him
RIP
My dad also died the day before his birthday to Cancer. I always found that ironic.
RIP Ed
R.I.P. Ed
