Ed McMahon was March 6, 1923 and he died from complications of bone cancer and pneumonia on June 23, 2009. He was famous for being a television personality, game show host, announcer, and comedian. Many of us remember him as the host of the talent show “Star Search” that gave many celebrities their “big break”. Ed is credited with the famous Johnny Carson introduction “Heeeeeeeeeeeeeere’s Johnny” on The Tonight Show. Ed truly brought excitement to The Tonight Show, and he made it the success it is today.
We are deeply saddened and send our condolences to Ed McMahon’s fans, family, and friends.
