Ed McMahon Hospitalized
Super sidekick Ed McMahon, 85, is in serious condition in a Los Angeles hospital, suffering from pneumonia and bone cancer.
It's been a rough go for Ed these past few years, with his financial and health issues making headlines in the twilight of the Johnny Carson sidekick's career. The former host of "Star Search," Ed has most recently been seen as a rapper in commercials for FreeCreditReport.com.
McMahon co-hosted the annual Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon, looking frail, but managed to get through the whole event.
