According to the LA Times:Ed McMahon died early this morning at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Westwood, according his publicist Howard Bragman. He passed away shortly after midnight, Bragman said. Bragman did not give a cause of death, saying only that McMahon had been suffering from many health problems over the last few months. A source close to McMahon says he had bone cancer and had been hospitalized for several weeks.
Thinking about Ed brings back such sweet memories of when Johnny Carson hosted the Tonight Show.. he was the original talk show second banana. I pray that God will comfort Ed's family and friends during this time.
The sound of the theme song, coming up from the TV downstairs, meant my parents were home, watching TV. We were all home, everything was okay with us and therefore the world.
ReplyDeleteI'd listen at the top of the stairs to see if there was going to be any musical groups or animals or anything I could beg to come downstairs and watch.
