    He made being "second banana" into an art form.

    He'll be missed. RIP.

    His ashes will be hermetically sealed in a mayonaisse jar under Funk and Wagnalls front porch at noon today.

    Just as no one ever will do the Tonight Show better than Carson, nobody will ever be a better "second" than Ed McMahon.

    RIP
