Rest well Ed, you were a class guy.

I just heard Jill Dobson voice-over a piece on Ed McMahon’s death. Nothing personal, but one of the worst voice-overs I’ve ever heard. This woman needs coaching; it was totally sing-songy and very stiff, exactly like she was reading from a script instead of conversational. Can’t believe network news has come to this.

I can’t believe that no one has commented yet.
The Johnny Carson Show was, hands down, the BEST late-night show ever.
It was wholesome, family-friendly, and very funny!!!

Well, R.I.P Mr McMahon, you are definitely one of the best in the business.
You will be sorely missed.

Eat your heart out Letterman…

nobody is “celebrating” today.
a giant has fallen and with him possibly the last of the great television entertainers.
Ed McMahon never worked “blue.” He didn’t need it.
He sat beside the best and because of him all of the greats became greater.
I am shocked that NBC doesn’t take a few moments and go dark tonight at 11:30 pm in honor of the fallen giant who gave them great ratings when everything else they aired fell by the wayside.
even matt lauer’s story this morning was a brush off, equating ed to any other mediocore guest nbc manages to get on their shows.
on the “tonight” show toight I’m sure the great minds at nbc will air some trashy 60 second video with a tinge of filth just to keep their new genre up to speed!
Ed deserved better than nbc!

Ed McMahon was a giant.
He allowed the greatness to shine through others by simply being there.
Seems we have lost all of the great entertainers.
I hope NBC does a proper memorial to Ed.

Our daughter Amy Freeze the chief meteorologist for Fox News in Chicago had a rather interesting meeting with Mr. McMahon. Ed spotted our daughter Amy, who was then with NBC outside the studio doing her morning show in Philadelphia 4 years ago. Amy would go outside to do the weather or interview people on the street in regards to popular topics. On this faithful day the famous Ed McMahon approached her and called her by name. He told her he had started in TV over 50 years on that same corner doing “the man on the street” interviews. Her producer immediately went live and Amy started talking to Ed. Before they went to commercial she ask him if he would like to come in studio and continue their conversation. He looked delighted and said,” Of course”. They then continued a 20 minute totally un-rehearsed interview with Ed detailing his early days in show business. Everyone in the NBC building came down from their offices to listen as Ed told in hilarious detail how he broke into the business. Funny, interesting and without a drop of ego. In fact Ed was very humble and insisted that, “I owe my career and every success to Johnny Carson”. Late night viewers in heaven are in for a treat tonight…the Carson/McMahon team is back in business. HOOOOOOOO!

He was a great man and I respect him for serving in the Marines.

Ed McMahon will be missed!

I would like to share my feeling for one of the greatest person, Michael Jackson. I was a young kid in the Philippines. I am now 55 years old. my song is BEN and I love it. I am sadden by his passing. May you rest in peace and to the family god will be with you all to give you the blessing to accept his passing. He will never die. he will live on in our hearts.

Watched the Tonight Show with my father for 20 years ! Ed was great !

Ed McMahon was humble, gracious and I will miss his booming cheerful voice. They don’t make men like Ed anymore. We have lost so many good people who deserve our recognition. Ed strived to be the best and he achieved it. Farrah Facet fought the good fight and was courageous. These were people of value. They spoke to values of true Americans. We Americans have got to protect our children and grandchildren by giving them models to admire and look up too. Not burned out singers and drug addicts as heroes, or a president who doesn’t even make a decent statement on the Fourth of July. He issues and writes a letter of condolences. That alone should show all of us what kind of value system this man has. Mr. MacNamara passed also and served this country through 2-3 presidents. He gets a little blurp on the internet news FOX. No one else has extolled his virtues. Pray for all our famous people who have passed but remember they are just like you and I, not famous but have siblings and parents also. Don’t glamourize drug addiction and weirdness, is that what you want your kids to emmulate and become. MONEY DOES NOT BUY HAPPINESS, jACKSON WAS PROOF OF THAT.
