On my way in today I heard the news that Ed McMahon left this morning for the straightman's job in the sky. I can just see him . . . sitting next to God's desk, in a chair that makes him slightly taller than God, and yelling "Hey-O!" every time The Big Man tells a good one.
Mr. McMahon? You were an American icon. You were the world's best sidekick and one hell of a salesman. Even though I'm still pissed about the $0 check, I'll miss ya.
We're watching you.
Wanna make out?

I heard this, too, on the way in to work. However, I decided that Ed McMahon's death and Totally Blowin' Shit up Tuesdays probably was not something that went hand-in-hand.
Also...I think you're right. God probably does look a lot like Johnny Carson.
And the Carnac the Magnificent bit? That totally explains the Pope's hat!
I just saw this on the news, and I can't believe that he died while almost broke! That is a serious rate of burning through the cash.
I got to interview Ed last year. I'm hoping to post it later today.
Aw, booo! I hadn't heard this. Thanks for being the bearer of bad news, Miss. You're like the anti-Ed. Instead of bringing giant checks, you just bring us down.
BeckEye: I'm sorry! Bearing bad news is better than bearing giant checks made out for $0. Right?
I always wanted to be the one opening up her front door at 4:30 in the morning (or however freaking early Ed came a-knickin') wearing ratty unders and a stained wife beater.
I'm sad I'll never get that chance now...
That $0 check was quite a bummer, I'm sure. *sniffle*
He used to Summer in Avalon which is the shore town next to where I was this weekend.
Holy shit - maybe I killed him!!!!
Awww.
Hey-o!!!! is one of my favorite exclamations.
Oh yeah and check out my blog tomorrow!
I can't tell you how many hours I sat waiting at the door for him to show up with his oversized cardboard check. I guess I can end my vigil. Rest in peace, Ed.
I hope God is like Johnny Carson. That makes me smile for some reason.
So, Star Search now has no chance of making a comeback.
You know what's awesome? I did that "what is your blog worth" thing and it came up "your blog is worth $0.00!"
Want to buy it now that you got the cash?
I am sad too.
Ohh...so sad! He will be missed.
Yes, very sad news. R.I.P, Ed.
If it makes you feel any better, that awesome photo is worth at least $100.
Gwennie Gwen Gwen, your Original Draft is up today at my place!
He was the best with Johnny.
And, he never brought me my check, either!
