Ed McMahon in ‘serious’ condition

Johnny Carson’s longtime sidekick, Ed McMahon, has been in a hospital for more than a month but TMZ has now revealed that his condition is “extremely serious. He’s in ICU.”

His publicist Howard Bragman said, “It’s serious. He’s an 85-year old man with a number of medical issues going on.”

He said one of McMahon’s medical problems is pneumonia, but he declined to confirm or deny an online report from Entertainment Tonight that the performer also had been diagnosed with bone cancer.

His wife and family members are present.
