This is some of the saddest news ever!
Ed McMahon passed away early today at a Los Angeles hospital. Famous for playing sidekick to Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show and his famous introduction, “Heeeeeeeeere’s Johnny!”
Mr. McMahon died shortly after midnight at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center surrounded by his wife, Pam, and other family members, said his publicist, Howard Bragman. Mr. Bragman didn’t give a cause of death, saying only that Mr. McMahon had a “multitude of health problems the last few months.”
Mr. McMahon had bone cancer, among other illnesses, according to a person close to the entertainer, and he had been hospitalized for several weeks. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to release the information.
