R.I.P. Ed McMahon

[Ace Boobtoucher]

I remember as a little kid staying up late to watch "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" and wondering who the hell is Ed McMahon and why is he famous?

Born in Los Angeles, McMahon grew up in Lowell, Massachusetts. During World War II, he was a Marine aviator, flight instructor and test pilot. Discharged in 1946, McMahon graduated from The Catholic University of America in 1949, and he began his television career at WCAU-TV in Philadelphia.

In the 1950s, he emceed the game shows "Missing Links," "Snap Judgment," "Concentration" and "Who Dunnit?" before returning to active duty in the Korean War in 1953.

He remained in the Marine Corps Reserve, retiring with the rank of Colonel in 1966 and was then commissioned as a Brigadier General in the California Air National Guard.

So he served our country honorably during WWII and Korea and beyond. And he hosted a bunch of game shows during televisions golden age. Got it.
So long Ed McMahon, we hardly knew ye (In my case, literally).

He was rich for saying Here's Johnny? Yep, life's fair. R.I.P I guess, but he lived an easy life. Must have been difficult getting drunk and fucking women with the Rat Pack.

*is jealous*

The two of them will never be duplicated.....magic comes, magic goes, but is never forgotten......"funny" is something that is dying away, and a big part of it left with the passing of Mr. McMahon.

God speed, and rest in peace. :hatsoff:
