Who Will Deliver the Giant Checks Now?

Ed McMahon dies at 86

(CNN) -- Ed McMahon, the longtime pitchman and Johnny Carson sidekick whose "Heeeeeeerre's Johnny!" became a part of the vernacular, has died.

McMahon passed away peacefully shortly after midnight at the Ronald Reagan/UCLA Medical Center, his publicist, Howard Bragman, said Tuesday
Rest in Peace, Ed. Obviously your liver - the butt of much of Johnny's ribbing - wasn't in as bad of a shape as we thought. Either that, or you were already pickled and that's what kept you alive so long...

Semper Fi, Colonel McMahon.

That is all.

Seems that he was a Brigadier General in the Guard.
But still, eighty-five bird dog flights over Korea...
We stand in the shadow of heroes, and most times never look up.
Good-night, Ed.
