Ed McMahon Has Passed Away

TV legend and pepaw to all, Ed McMahon rode off to heaven this morning on a giant American Family Publishers check at the age of 86. Ed's agent told NBC in L.A. that he passed away at the Ronald Regan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. Ed's cause of death is not known at this time.

Well, this is fucking sad. I thought Ed was going to outlive us all! In hundreds of years, I pictured Ed still smiling with a giant check in his hand and his neck covered in gold. Who's going to hand me a giant check for a million dollars now? Who's going to tell me how much my gold is worth? The sads.

Rest in peace, Ed.... Now you will be reunited with Johnny Carson in the great big late night TV show in the sky!

RIP

He was host of several shows, over the years. He always had a way to make the viewers laugh. A former straight man and sidekick extraordinaire to Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show, Ed McMahon, has passed away at the age of 86. He is also the spokesperson for the Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes and a recent series of spots for freecreditreport.com. Over the last few years, had been suffering from health problems and had some problems with his finances. He had been facing foreclosure and several lawsuits. He needn't worry about monologues again; rest in peace, Ed McMahon

O MY GAWD!

Britney Spears -- who once placed second on "Star Search" -- just issued a sweet statement about Ed McMahon, saying "He is responsible for giving so many artists their first shot including myself."

Here's the ironic part. The insanity surrounding one Britney Spears may have contributed to the foreclosure of Ed's house.

Britney used to live around the corner from Ed in Bev Hills. Ed's house sat like a white elephant for several years, partly because of the mold problem but partly -- according to his realtor -- because of the paparazzi frenzy at Britney's pad. The realtor told us buyers were being scared away.

Eventually Ed's house went into foreclosure.

Britney called Ed "a wonderful man who will be greatly missed."

Ed was marine in WWII, for that we should be grateful. I thought he was great on the Tonight Show when he would show up Johnny occasionally. I can't believe no one's mentioned Star Search!!! I also thought it was cool he went on Howard Stern. Semper FI! Hoo-Ra!

Hekki,

Right on!

Waves to ex-husband who likes them very young and dumb.

Sensimina's picture

Hekki is totally right - if an old man wants young pussy, he'd better know he has to give up the wallet, first thing. To us these bitches are gold diggers, to the old fucks they marry, they are trophy wives.

Frankly a man with a wolf-shirt shouldn't settle for the first thing that comes to him.

Hekki's picture

Listen: I am tired of hearing about golddiggers and that the men who marry them are victims. Rubbish. If a man gets to be that old and STILL hasn't figured out that some young nubile bitch is after his money, he deserves exACTly what he gets.

Now if the plain jane you married turns out to be one, well, I'm sorry about that. But if some bleach blonde swears she loves the taste of your 70 year old jizz, YOU'RE STOOOOOPIT~!

Ed rests in heaven while Johnny roasts in hell.

Will they have to take up a donation to buy the coffin? All I can remember of this guy now is plowing through millions of dollars and then expecting other people to give him hand-outs. I am sure the gold-digger has already been put out on the curb, the bank has probably already taken the mansion.

So long Ed - thanks for your service in the Marine Corp and many years of laughs!! RIP

Not like he filmed it last night, of course, but just to see him on TV after not seeing him for a long time, then you see him and he dies? Sad.

Thanks for all the great memories.

It's too bad your last few years were spent in turmoil. I'm glad you are finally away from that bitch wife of yours and I hope she doesn't have much of your money to spend.

I just saw him in the New York lottery commercial last night. Wow. RIP.

R.I.P, Ed.

He ended so sad because some piece of tail of a wife used him and ran him into the ground.

He doesn't have to deal with the humiliation anymore. May he find peace.

Some news agency is saying that the official cause of death is Systemic bone cancer.

I believed Spoiled called that one.

Joan Rivers was on Howard this morning. She said that Ed truly set the form for being a great co-host. Joan also revealed how vindictive and nasty Johnny Carson was. And despite all of the turmoil Joan went through with Johnny and the risk that it was, Ed was brave and kind enough to approach her in public and wish her well. Joan said that Ed McMahon was a lovely man. He lost all of his money on bad investments and too many wives.

I believe that (at least the bit about Johnny) to the core of my being. Even as a young kid, his repoire with both his guests and the audience struck me as phony.

Poor Ed had to such a very high price for fish! We mean, the hustlers he ended up with took him to the cleaners for untold million$$ in divorce settlements!

Take Wood Allen - older than dirt and uglier than sin. Woody gets all the (reasonably young and hot) fish he wants for free! Some say the reason is that Woody is horse-hung.

Does this mean that poor Ed was 'sizemologically challenged' (AKA 'tinymeat)?

It's too bad, after years of success in television, he had so many financial, personal, and health difficulties, later in life.
I'm not a big fan of Donald Trump, but he offered to buy McMahan's home and lease it to him, to help him out. That's after known problems with mold from a water leak. (according to wiki)

Too sad. RIP Ed.

OT - the veneer comment - despite not being able to go back to your natural teeth you'll be down 15-20K. Plus, they are not life long and they do break more easily than you would think. My friends mom had them done after her divorce settlement. I think she broke two within a year.

I think unless you teeth are beyong repair, screw it.

Horrible to say I know, but I have a feeling the wife has already contacted the executor/lawyer to find out how quickly they can probate the will.
