Kudos to graphic artist Todd Grantham for so expertly capturing the zeitgeist.

Let's pour one out for comical alcoholic Ed McMahon, who has passed away at the age of 86. Or, as People puts it:

He was TV's most famous second banana, sitting alongside Johnny Carson during what was arguably the golden age of NBC's Tonight Show, from 1962 to 1992, welcoming a nightly national audience with his opening cry of "Heeeeeeeeeeeere's Johnny."

But now that voice is stilled.

Indeed. Actually, let's pour a couple out. It's Ed, after all.
