Ed McMahon, former sidekick to Johnny Carson on NBC Television’s Tonight Show, has died at age 86 in Los Angeles.
McMahon died early Tuesday morning at the UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center, according to his publicist, Howard Bragman.
He didn’t release a cause of death, saying only that McMahon had a “multitude of health problems the last few months.”
The famed funnyman had been hospitalized with pneumonia and other ailments earlier this year, and had reportedly battled bone cancer.
I loved watching Star Search when I was growing up! That was one of my favorite show! May he rest in peace. He’ll be missed by many!

“Heeeeeeeeeere’s Johnny!” Mr. McMahon fought that battle as long as he could and he lasted longer than many before him; he’ll be missed.

Ha Ha! That was Bob Barker, and he passed a few years back. This is the guy from Star Search.
