Ed's name on the Big Top was "Carney". Ed also was a Barker for food choppers on the boardwalk @ Atlantic City out side of the Steel Pier.

It is sad to see Ed go...and on a personal note, we shared the same birthday, March 6th...and my dad and Jonny shared the same birthday, October 23rd, 1925....Ed and I different years...they were a pair that can never be outdone nor replicated. rest in peace Ed.

Nice memorial for Ed McMahon.

It's too bad that Farrah Fawcett is not getting a similar obituary, because Michael Jackson's death seems to have replaced all of Hardball tonight.

I remember the OJ Simpson trial when it was "all OJ, all the time". And Elian Gonzalez with "all Elian all the time". I had hoped that cable news, or at least MSNBC was over that, but it seem not to be the case. Now it's wall to wall Michael Jackson.

Ed McMahon was a great entertainer whose troubles late in life were not deserved. I especially loved how proud he was of his service in the Marines. Johnny got his sidekick back.

My brother Clint and I played with Claudia & Mikey and Ed was just their dad.Our dad worked for Sun Oil(J. Howard Pew)and Mr. Clark(Dick) lived in the next court by McMahon's apartment in Drexelbrook.My dad helped found what became Delaware County Christian School which started out in the church basement at Grace Chapel before the school bought the Strawbridge estate in Newtown Square. Clint& I (ages 8&5) rode the trolley to 69th Street alone(yikes!) then took a bus to school at Grace Chapel. Saturday matinee double features and trips to the shore,we kids had a pretty great life.Mr. Mcmahon was the "fun " dad. Ours was more strict, a real"Organization Man". As a small child, I had no knowledge of Mr. McMahon's military service nor my dad's naval career.I now honor their sacrifice.Your tribute to "Ed" touched me. Thank you for your show.(but didn't your mama teach you it's not polite to interupt??)HA
