I keep expecting you to pull out yr sword and cut somebody's head off.

as you can see with the Farrah thread, McMahon was a little before most of this board's time.

I was still shocked to see that this was the first thread (I don't like making threads very much).

Don't worry, in a couple minutes you will fall apart into three clean-cut pieces.

Hasn't Ed been dead for like 15 years? I thought he was going on talk shows and awards ceremonies Weekend At Bernie's style.

as a kid I would watch the carson tonight show when I could (fridays and vacations) andI was always impressed by ed's ability to chill with whoever. he had a tough gig, to set up Johnny as a straight man, and to converse and make the guests comfortable.
I thought that would have been a pretty sweet gig, and still do.

If letterman needed some wise-ass to sit next to him and set up jokes I would do it in an instant.

Here is how bad ass Ed McMahon was

Edward Peter Leo McMahon, Jr. was born in Detroit Michigan in 1923
McMahon led a somewhat unhappy and nomadic childhood.

His great-great-great-grandfather, the Duke of Magenta, was a marshal and president of France. The Duke's favorite sauce, named Macmahonaise in his honor, was later shortened to mayonnaise. McMahon's grandmother was the cousin of Rose Fitzgerald, mother of John F. Kennedy.
McMahon's ambition was to be a radio announcer and had his first announcing job at the age of 15.
When the United States began gearing up for World War II, McMahon wanted to become a Marine fighter pilot.
In early 1943, he first went to a civilian-run Wartime Training School in Texarkana where the Navy evaluated cadets' potential by checking them out in a Piper Cub. Then came the three-month Preflight School at Athens, Georgia. McMahon received primary training at Dallas and intermediate training at Pensacola. McMahon received the single engine carrier syllabus and was assigned to the Marines

 

On the day the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, McMahon received orders to join the Marine carrier program on the West Coast. His orders were cancelled and he returned to civilian life
After McMahon graduated from Catholic University, he got a job in television in Philadelphia. In two years, he had become Philadelphia's top TV personality. In 1952, McMahon got his big break when he was offered a job in New York with CBS; however, he was recalled into the Marine Corps due to the Korean War. After several months of training at Miami and El Toro, McMahon arrived in Korea in February 1953. He flew 85 artillery-spotting missions in the Cessna OE Bird Dog before returning home in September 1953. McMahon returned to television in Philadelphia for several years. In 1958, he was hired as the announcer for Johnny Carson's Who Do You Trust? In 1962, Johnny Carson took over as host of The Tonight Show and took McMahon along as his announcer and sidekick. Carson and McMahon became an institution and remained on The Tonight Show for 6,583 programs over a 30-year period. Since retiring from The Tonight Show, McMahon has worked on several other TV shows and served as spokesman for various companies and charities. McMahon remained active in the Marine Reserves retiring as a full colonel in 1966.
