Jay Leno offers help to Ed McMahon
Last week, the news about Ed McMahon possibly losing his Hollywood home spread across the airwaves. Surprisingly, there were many comments here that were downright unsympathetic to the former Tonight Show sidekick. Apparently, people in show business are sympathetic. Current Tonight Show host Jay Leno has vocally offered to help Ed with his financial problems.
Jay, who is in the last year of manning the desk that Johnny Carson manned for years with Ed right by his side, promises to come through for Ed. According to Leno’s PR man, “Everybody loves Ed. Jay and others on the show are discussing how they can help him.”
Ed has been unable to work since breaking his neck 18 months ago, but now there are offers coming in. Once people learned that McMahon was in need, the jobs materialized. Howard Bragman, who represents Ed said, “A lot of people have shown generosity. Things are going to work out.”
Good for Ed. Good for Jay. Maybe Jerry Lewis should find some coin to lend to Ed considering his years of service on the MD Telethon.
As for those who are wondering cynically why Ed didn’t save his money, apparently he’s suffered through some very expensive divorces over the years.

I think as long as your happy you’re healthy. I couldn’t care less whether you are a size zero or size 18.”
