As most of you know, Ed McMahon died yesterday at the age of 86. And being the intrepid journalist that I am, I have his first posthumuous interview all ready just for you.
Me: Thanks for agreeing to speak with me so quickly after your demise.
Ed: Happy to be here, ha ha ha ha!
Me: So, you hosted The Price is Right for how many years?
Ed: Wha? That wasn't me, kid. That was Bob Barker.
Me: Oh. Are you the Wendy's guy?
Ed: No, that's Dave Thomas!
Me: That older man from Golden Girls?
Ed: No, that was Bea Arthur.
Me: The guy who sells oatmeal and was in Cocoon?
Ed: Nope. Wilford Brimley.
Me: The salad dressing dude?
Ed: Paul Newman.
