Mr. McMahon's health problems were related to heavy mold exposure.

His lawsuits seeking damages made him the subject of scorn and comedy. Now that he has died from his exposure-related illnesses are you going to apologize and admit he was right?

No, of course not. But perhaps his death will open a few more eyes to the most covered-up health issue of the 90's — indoor toxic fungi exposure.

Yes, covered-up with millions of dollars by insurance and home-builders. Why? It is a multi-billion dollar problem — probably larger than the banking crisis to address. It is going to take years for the truth to come out. Watch the video.

rest in peace Ed.

We're left with a spiteful nasty person who thinks it's funny to joke about a woman's 14 year old getting raped.

Man, Carson was always a class act. But up against this, Carson's class positively glows in the dark.

Rest In Jolly Good Peace Mr. McMahon.

I guess just like all good things, it has to pass. That era is gone now. All we can do is look back at it and admire all those people who made great contributions on their field like Ed McMahon.

"Late night tv" – so called – is dead.

Once upon time 11:30 pm to 1:00 am *was* late night for a lot of people:

Before the world went 24/7

Before there was every type of programming imaginable all the time, all the time.

Before late night talk shows became promotional festivals for each new numbnuts actor/actress to plug their latest movie or tv show and tell vapid stories from their dreay lives.

Late night black and white was magic. There's no magic in color.

Before everything was taped in advance, there was the magic of live television.

There no more magic after midnight , folks. At least not on any televisions I know.

RIP Ed M. – You got out while the gettin' was still good.

Ed, we miss you and Johnny so much.

Each year we lose more and more of these greats. They are not being replaced.

Rest in Peace, Ed. Say 'hi' to Johnny for us.
