Ed McMahon, the loyal "Tonight Show" sidekick who bolstered boss Johnny Carson with guffaws and a resounding "H-e-e-e-e-e-ere's Johnny!" for 30 years, died early Tuesday. He was 86.

McMahon died shortly after midnight at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center surrounded by his wife, Pam, and other family members, said his publicist, Howard Bragman.

Bragman didn't give a cause of death, saying only that McMahon had a "multitude of health problems the last few months."

Great guy. Too bad his late life issues had to tarnish the good stuff people remember about him.

Suspect his new gig: "H-e-e-e-e-e-ere's Jesus!"

They said he had bone cancer, among other things. I remember begging my parents to let me stay up to watch the monologue when I was little.
