RIP Ed McMahon


Ed McMahon, comedian, gameshow host, announcer, WWII Marine fighter pilot, and sidekick to the legendary Johnny Carson for 30 years, died this morning. He was 86. MSNBC reports:
Publicist Howard Bragman says McMahon died early Tuesday at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center surrounded by his family. Bragman didn’t give a cause of death, saying only that McMahon had a “multitude of health problems the last few months.”

Not to get too personal here, but one of my favorite memories as a kid is visiting my Dad's family and my cool aunt letting me stay up to watch Johnny Carson. For once, I really have nothing bad to say. Except of course for your mom. She really needs to stop calling me.
