He’s famous for the way he bolstered Johnny Carson with a loud Heeeere’s Johnny on the Tonight Show for 30 years.  I remember him growing up as the host of “Star Search” helping expose talent like Sinbad, Destiny’s Child, Aaliyah, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and a long list of others.

Mr. McMahon had bone cancer among other illnesses and recently battled a series of financial problems after breaking his neck two years ago.  I had the pleasure of meeting this legend many years ago and he was as nice as the man next door.  He will be missed. Ed McMahon was 86.
