One of the true icons of late night television passed away this week.
Ed McMahon was the long time announcer/sidekick to Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show. Mr. McMahon's laugh and opening call of "Heeeeere's Johnny" have often been imitated, but never duplicated. He was part of the era when late night TV talk shows seemed like a world that was hipper and cooler than anywhere else. Johnny was the host at the party we all wish we could go to, but Mr. McMahon was the guy we wanted to hang with.
Rest in peace.
