Phantom 2,533 Posted June 23, 2009 Ed McMahon, longtime sidekick of US TV talk show host Johnny Carson: Would it be really wrong for me to say that I never heard of the guy before? Nope, I hadn't heard of him until I moved here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1_TO_THE_HEAD 0 Posted June 23, 2009 Grrr, why couldn't ED have been on the list... oh well, on to the next wait... Hopefully that'll stop BCAlum 'moaning' for a while. Additionally, McMahon is the third The Simpsons guest star to die this year... perhaps I'll create a mundane thread about it. Hmm, 3rd Simpsons guest star...time to do a review of all the rest...couldn't hurt...That IS sorta' strange though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Additionally, McMahon is the third The Simpsons guest star to die this year... perhaps I'll create a mundane thread about it. For the time being, yes. Anyway, I'd be lying to all of you if I didn't admit that I'm feeling a bit of, well "FINALLY!" As in, finally, I got a hit (even though I had McMahon listed for 2010, I'll still count him as a success). I'm not particularly saddened or shocked Ed McMahon died, to be frank. To me, he wasn't exactly one of the more likable TV personalities. His final years of his life were marred by financial problems and embarassing and degrading appearances on TV commercials. Most people outside America probably have never really heard of him anyway. But he's a big deal in the States. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just to clarify here after your Zsa Zsa comment, by your reckoning if you are lacking financial funds it is thus time to die? Does this mean that those living off of a basic state pension or those who've had all their savings taken from them to pay for their residential care should not bother trying to eek out their existence any longer? IMHO you are one strange character with little moral forethought. I was of the belief this site does not wish people to hurry up and die. The sooner you realise this the better.

We may then get a little diversity in your posting. Sorry but I gotta side with BC on this one. It has nothing to do with pensions, etc.. Just some common sense. Someone making that kind of money who fails to pay their bills isn't very high on my list of responsible people. Ok he fought in 2 wars, and donates $$, that doesn't make you immune to paying your mortgage. If you can't afford the mansion...DOWNSIZE!!! "Ed McMahon, who has given to so many, may now lose his Beverly Hills home to foreclosure because he owes approximately $644,000 in payments on a nearly $5 million mortgage loan. Added to that fiscal fiasco is that American Express obtained a judgment against McMahon for just about $750,000 in unpaid bills, and a Washington-based company named Hix Inc. claimed he failed to repay a loan of $135,000. (In February, McMahon settled with Hix Inc., and now owes $51,000.) All tallied, McMahon, who earned millions over his 50-year career, is in debt for nearly $1.5 million. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-lewi...y_b_105552.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted June 25, 2009 I'd just had an e-mail about the same death HMBWA, Swells Wiki Page presents a fairly balanced summary of a unique career. I was once honoured to enjoy a Carlisle away match at Southend in the company of the great man, we're unlikely to see his like again.

Tuber Mirum 125 Posted June 25, 2009 Marchioness of Aberdeen and Temair, June Gordon, has died aged 95. The only reason I mention her is that I remember Notapotato mentioning her a couple of years back. Ah yes, June. I fondly remember struggling through several of her opera productions several years ago. Although perhaps fondly is a bit strong. /edit: If I'm quick I could just about get to the memorial service on Wednesday. See you there Windsor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
