[SCUBONZIES]

GOD BLESS YOU EDDIE I GREW UP IN PHILADELPHIA AND I THOUGHT HE WAS VERY FUNNY

It is bovious this is not the beginning of the interview. Where is the rest of it?

FYI,McMahon took some critical shots throughout his career,some deserved,but this interview fills in great detail(the interviewer here is so flimsy-hey,as Ed says,listen and be curious,dummy!). Of special interest,for this viewer,are the Philly tales(I grew up nearby Ed's ,and Dick Clark's,Philly suburban dwellings in Drexelbrook)and the infamous 11:15-11:30 first part of the Tonight show. Philly carried this portion and it was purposely mediocre and,I suspect, probably no tapes exist.

Those two....I'll tell you...I can't imagine growing up without them. I'm sad my kids wont be able to enjoy them the way I did. Thank God the shows are on DVD now. A class act all the way!

[prausch65]

This man possessed the most unique talent that will never be matched today...Hayooo!!

Rest in Peace Ed McMahon.
