Ed McMahon has died

[fasstrack]

As far as I'm concerned, when Johnny and Ed left, the Tonight Show was cancelled. I haven't watched a full show since, and rarely even made it through the opening. Talk about a couple of masters!

I agree. And don't even get me started on Conan. I just don't understand his appeal AT ALL. These kids and their comedians..

Ha! We're getting old, in other words.

But this dinosaur concurs: After Carson?McMahon, down down downhill for late night................

Leno was very good at stand-up. Before the wars with Letterman he was a regular guest and pretty sharp. I remember one of his best bits: during the crisis with Khadaffi Reagan called him a 'flaky barbarian'. Leno came on Letterman with a ceral box with Khadaffi's picture like a Superman and over block letters: Barbarian Flakes.
