TV personality Ed McMahon dies

I've just learned that TV legend Ed McMahon died this morning at the age of 86.

McMahon, who was born in Detroit and raised in Lowell, Massachusetts, was best known for his "Heeeeere's Johnny!" battle cry on 'The Tonight Show' and his distinctive laugh. He was also hired by the government to narrate a bizarre homeland security commercial a few years back.

In 2002, Ed McMahon filed a lawsuit over toxic mold that destroyed his valuable memorabilia collection and reportedly made his family sick.

Another broadcasting celebrity is gone, and will be missed.
