Homage to an Icon

Ed McMahon has passed away at age 86.

He died at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in California early this morning. McMahon was fighting a multitude of health problems, including bone cancer.

A source close to the family said this:

“Ed was at peace because he got his business taken care of. He settled his lawsuit with Cedars and with the settlement he was able to take care of his family.”

Perhaps best known for his 30-some year stint on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, McMahon also hosted Star Search and TV Bloopers and Practical Jokes with pal Dick Clark.

He is an American icon that will truly be missed.
