Real Heroes in the Entertainment Industry…

Having been born in Nebraska, I was brought up watching the Tonight show with Col McMahon being Johnny Carson’s side kick.
I remember once when Johnny was on vacation (which was often) and Jerry Lewis was the guest host. They bring out Dean Martin, total suprise for Lewis as they were not on the best of terms. The meeting was short and cordial. When Martin left Lewis said “I’ll never work with that drunk again”, where as Ed McMahon responded “Why not? Your working with this one” (meaning himself and the jokes on the show about his ability to to drink others under the table.)
A great man, a great warrior, a great American. We will miss him.

Great men may not always get the recognition they deserve but he will be fondly remembered by those of us that really care.

Thank you Col. McMahon, for your service to this nation.

Semper Fi.

to previous posters–That’s the MSM for you–24/7 devoted to that poor soul; nothing mentioned about our Marines slogging through Afghanistan; nothing about Ed McMahon’s service to the Country. Semper Fi Colonel McMahon!!!

@Old Trooper: At least he will be in our hearts forever. Here's to you Ed, and to all your brothers and sisters. "Once a Marine, always a Marine."

Ed gets 5 minutes
The Michael Jackson Marathon has had over a week 24/7.
Sad commentary.

Sadly none of those in our MSM bothered to report any of this. The pedophile was just too important a story to their feeble little minds.

God speed Ed.
