Ed McMahon has passed away at 86.
Most remember him as Johnny Carson's sidekick, Clearing House Sweepstakes pitchman, hosting
Star Search and
TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes, and, most recently, for pursuading folks to mail in their unwanted gold.
I'll also remember him as the narrator of DAUGHTER OF HORROR. That's his voice you hear in the movie the audience watches before getting eaten up by THE BLOB.
