Signature

The Catholic University of America [edit]

After World War II, McMahon studied at The Catholic University of America in
Washington, D.C., under the GI Bill and graduated in 1949. He majored in speech and drama while studying under Gilbert Hartke and
was a member of the Phi Kappa Theta fraternity. After graduation, McMahon led the effort to raise funds for a theater to be named for
Hartke and attended its dedication in 1970 with Helen Hayes and Sidney Poitier .[8] While working as Carson's sidekick during The
Tonight Show, McMahon served as the president of the national alumni association from 1967 to 1971 and would often return to
campus, especially for homecoming.[8] During the university's centennial celebration in 1987, McMahon and Bob Newhart
performed.[8] He received an honorary Doctor of Communication Arts in 1988.

"I owe so much to CU," McMahon once said. "That's where my career got its start."[8] Today, the Ed McMahon Endowed Scholarship
helps outstanding students and provides scholarship assistance to juniors and seniors who are pursuing a bachelor's degree in either the
Department of Drama or the Department of Media Studies within the School of Arts and Sciences.[8]

Entertainment career [edit]

Who Do You Trust? [edit]

McMahon and Carson first worked together as announcer and host on the ABC daytime game show Who Do You Trust? running from
1957 to 1962. He describes what happened when the pair first met, the whole meeting being "about as exciting as watching a traffic light
change".[9]

The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson [edit]

McMahon rejoined Carson for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson on October 1, 1962,
on NBC. For almost 30 years, McMahon introduced the show with a drawn-out
"Heeeeeeeeeeere's Johnny!" His booming voice and constant laughter alongside the "King of
Late Night" earned McMahon the nickname the "Human Laugh Track " and "Toymaker to the
King". As part of the introductory patter to The Tonight Show, McMahon would state his name out
loud, pronouncing it as /m ɪkˈmeɪ.ən/, but neither long-time cohort Carson nor anyone else who
interviewed him ever seemed to pick up on that subtlety, usually pronouncing his name
/mɪkˈmæ n /.[citation needed]

Aside from his co-hosting duties, it also fell upon McMahon during the early years of Carson's
tenure (when the show ran 105 minutes) to host the first fifteen minutes of Tonight, which did not
air nationally. McMahon also served as guest host on at least one occasion, substituting for Carson
during a week of programs that aired between July 29 and August 2, 1963, and again for two nights
in October 1963. McMahon served as a counter to the notoriously shy Carson. Nonetheless,
McMahon once told an interviewer that after his many decades as an emcee, he would still get McMahon with Johnny
"butterflies" in his stomach every time he would walk onto a stage and would use that nervousness Carson in the late 1960s
as a source of energy.[10]

His famous opening line "Heeere's Johnny!" was used in the 1980 horror film The Shining by the character Jack Torrance (played by
Jack Nicholson ) as he goes after his wife and child with an axe. McMahon did in-program commercials for many sponsors of The
Tonight Show, most notably Budweiser beer and Alpo dog food, and also did commercials for them that ran on other programs.

Star Search [edit]

McMahon was also host of the successful weekly syndicated series Star Search, which began in 1983 and helped launch the careers
of numerous actors, singers, choreographers and comedians. He stayed with the show until it ended in 1995 and in 2003, he made a
cameo appearance on the CBS revival of the series , hosted by his successor Arsenio Hall .

Other roles [edit]

His long association with brewer Anheuser-Busch earned him the nickname "Mr. Budweiser"
and he used that relationship to bring them aboard as one of the largest corporate donors to the
Muscular Dystrophy Association. Beginning in 1973, McMahon served as co-host of the long-
running live annual Labor Day weekend event of the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon. His 41st and
final appearance on that show was in 2008, making him second only to Jerry Lewis himself in
number.[11] McMahon and Dick Clark hosted the television series (and later special broadcasts
of) TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes on NBC from 1982 to 1993.

In 1967, McMahon had a role in the film The Incident and appeared as Santa Claus on The
Mitzi Gaynor Christmas Show. From 1965 to 1969, McMahon served as "communicator"
(host) of the Saturday afternoon segment of Monitor, the weekend news, features and
entertainment magazine on the NBC Radio Network. The 1955 movie Dementia, which has
music without dialogue, was released as Daughter of Horror in 1970. The newer version, which
had a voice over by McMahon, still has music without dialogue, but with an added narration read
by him. McMahon had a supporting role in the original Fun with Dick and Jane in 1977.

He then played himself in " Remote Control Man", a season one episode of Steven Spielberg 's
McMahon at the premiere of Air
Amazing Stories. In 2004, McMahon became the announcer and co-host of Alf's Hit Talk
America in 1990
Show on TV Land . He authored two memoirs, Here's Johnny!: My Memories of Johnny
Carson, The Tonight Show, and 46 Years of Friendship as well as For Laughing Out
Loud. Over the years, he emceed the game shows Missing Links, Snap Judgment, Concentration, and Whodunnit!.

McMahon also hosted Lifestyles Live, a weekend talk program aired on the USA Radio Network . Additionally, he also appeared in the
feature documentary film, Pitch People, the first motion picture to take an in-depth look at the history and evolution of pitching
products to the public. In the early 2000s, McMahon made a series of Neighborhood Watch public service announcements parodying the
surprise appearances to contest winners that he was supposedly known for. (In fact, it is not clear whether the company McMahon
fronted, American Family Publishers, regularly performed such unannounced visits, as opposed to Publishers Clearing House and its oft-
promoted "prize patrol".)[citation needed]

Towards the end of the decade, McMahon took on other endorsement roles, playing a rapper for a FreeCreditReport.com
commercial[12] and in a Cash4Gold commercial alongside MC Hammer . McMahon was also the spokesman for Pride Mobility, a
leading power wheelchair and scooter manufacturer. His final film appearance was in the independent John Hughes themed rom-com
Jelly as Mr. Closure alongside actress Natasha Lyonne . Mostly in the 1980s through the 1990s, McMahon was the spokesperson for
Colonial Penn Life Insurance Company. [11]

Personal life [edit]

Marriage and children [edit]

McMahon married Alyce Ferrell on July 5, 1945, while he was serving as a flight instructor in the
Marines.[13] The couple had four children: Claudia (b. 1946), Michael Edward (1951–1995), Linda
and Jeffrey.[14] They separated in 1972 and divorced in 1974.[15] McMahon married Victoria
Valentine on March 6, 1976.[16] They adopted their daughter Katherine Mary in 1985. The couple
divorced in 1989. McMahon paid $50,000 per month in spousal and child support.[17] On February
22, 1992, three months before his Tonight Show run came to a close, in a ceremony held near Las
Vegas,[17] McMahon married 37-year-old Pamela "Pam" Hurn, who had a son named Alex.

McMahon's daughter Katherine served as best person at the wedding.[citation needed] McMahon was
a longtime summer resident of Avalon, New Jersey.[18]

Financial problems [edit]

In June 2008, it was announced that McMahon was $644,000 behind on payments on $4.8 million in
mortgage loans and was fighting to avoid foreclosure on his multimillion-dollar Beverly Hills McMahon in 2005
home.[19] McMahon was also sued by Citibank for $180,000. McMahon appeared on Larry King
Live on June 5, 2008, with his wife to talk about this situation. In the interview, McMahon's wife
Pam said that people assumed that the McMahons had a lot of money because of his celebrity status. Pamela McMahon also commented
that they do not have "millions" of dollars.[20] On July 30, 2008, McMahon's financial status suffered another blow. McMahon failed to
pay divorce attorney Norman Solovay $275,168, according to a lawsuit filed in the Manhattan federal court. McMahon and his wife,
Pamela, had hired Solovay to represent Linda Schmerge, his daughter from another relationship, in a "matrimonial matter", said
Solovay's lawyer, Michael Shanker.[21]

On August 14, 2008, real estate mogul Donald Trump announced that he would purchase McMahon's home from Countrywide Financial
and lease it to McMahon, so the home would not be foreclosed.[22] McMahon agreed instead to a deal with a private buyer for his hilltop
home, said Howard Bragman , McMahon's former spokesman.[23] Bragman declined to name the buyer or the selling price, but he said it
was not Trump. In early September, after the second buyer's offer fell through, Trump renewed his offer to purchase the home.[24]
Trump never followed through with either of his public offers to purchase the residence, per McMahon's daughter Claudia McMahon.
[25]

Health problems [edit]

On April 20, 2002, McMahon sued his insurance company for more than $20 million, alleging that
he was sickened by toxic mold that spread through his Beverly Hills house after contractors failed to
properly clean up water damage from a broken pipe. McMahon and his wife, Pamela, became ill
from the mold, as did members of their household staff, according to the Los Angeles County
Superior Court suit. The McMahons blamed the mold for the death of the family dog, Muffin. Their
suit, one of many in recent years over toxic mold, was filed against American Equity Insurance Co.,
a pair of insurance adjusters, and several environmental cleanup contractors. It sought monetary
damages for alleged breach of contract, negligence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

On March 21, 2003, the long legal battle ended with McMahon being awarded $7.2 million from
several companies who were negligent for allowing toxic mold into his home, sickening him and his
wife and killing their dog.[26] In March 2007, McMahon was injured in a fall and, in March 2008, it
was announced he was recovering from a broken neck and two subsequent surgeries. He later sued
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and two doctors claiming fraud, battery, elder abuse , and emotional
distress, and accused them of discharging him with a broken neck after his fall and botching two McMahon in 2008
later neck surgeries.

On February 27, 2009, it was reported that McMahon had been in an undisclosed Los Angeles hospital (later confirmed as Ronald
Reagan UCLA Medical Center) for almost a month. He was listed in serious condition and was in the intensive care unit. His publicist
told reporters that he was admitted for pneumonia at the time, but could not confirm nor deny reports that McMahon had been diagnosed
with bone cancer.[27]

Death [edit]

McMahon died on June 23, 2009, shortly after midnight at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, California . He
was 86 years old. His nurse, Julie Koehne, stated he went peacefully. No formal cause of death was given, but McMahon's publicist
attributed his death to the many health problems he had suffered over his final months.[28] McMahon had said that he still suffered from
his neck injury the past two years.[29] His funeral was held at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills. [30]

Tributes and legacy [edit]

The night of McMahon's death, Conan O'Brien paid him tribute on The Tonight Show:

It is impossible, I think, for anyone to imagine The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson without Ed McMahon. Ed's
laugh was really the soundtrack to that show. He created the most iconic two-shot in broadcasting history. There will never
be anything like that again.[31]

He received a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Television on March 20, 1986.[32]

The Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia posthumously inducted McMahon into their Hall of Fame in 2010.[5]
