There goes Eddie!
I was, of course, a close personal friend of Ed McMahon, who died on Tuesday in LA. In fact, he was my sidekick long before Johnny Carson came along, and we had quite a row when he decided to abandon my side in favour of Carson’s.
I always enjoyed “The Tonight Show”, though, and years later Ed and I reconciled and I wangled my erstwhile sidekick a side-job as a presenter for Publishers Clearing House, even though Ed never read a book in his life.
