When Ed McMahon Co-Hosted The Daily Show
As you may have heard, entertainment legend Ed McMahon has died at the age of 86. He'll be remembered for his decades as Johnny Carson's comedic foil on The Tonight Show as well as his various spokesman gigs, but what some may have forgotten is a 1999 episode of The Daily Show that McMahon co-hosted with Jon Stewart. Below, you'll find the entire episode followed by a second appearance McMahon made in 2000.
The episode continues after the jump.
The Daily Show airs Monday through Thursday at 11pm / 10c.




Ed McMahon was exposed to high levels of indoor mold and suffered endless health problems as a result. I know Ed's doctor and interviewed him about mold exposure.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0CW9hyhspo This video link is from the #1 most respected and undisputed source of information ever produced on the subject. Though the topic has been successfully repressed by monied interests (insurance, building industry interests), it remains a significant but misunderstood problem in our national health agenda.
It is too bad so many ignorant people made fun of Mr. McMahon's illnesses caused by mold, and many others shamed him for attempting to get justice for his mold-injuries. Shame on them all.
Maybe we can open a dialogue on this topic and finally begin to address our nation's multi-billion dollar mold crisis.
Did you also know he was a Colonel and a pilot in the Marines?
Read what I wrote about Ed and stick around for more good content.

you know.. it's lame that these videos can't be viewed from Canada.. and guess what? you can't find these videos on The Comedy Network site!! /youfail
Not all videos are available on the Comedy Network in Canada… Thanks for making them available to US viewers but the entire philosophy behind the Internet is free access and no borders… (signed a Canadian Comedy Central lover).

Dear Illustrious Leader,
YOU HAVE BEEN BETRAYED!!
With your multi-million dollar budget, PR staff, Image handlers and highly paid publisists, they have all conspired to let you fall into embarassment and ridicule!
Perhaps it's that your fearsome and intimidating command has prevented them from telling you the truth.
So by all means…allow me..
It has been a couple of weeks since you shaved your head in support of our troops. Good Job.
What they aren't telling you is : that is also when you began the longest running primate impression on TV since Corneilius on planet of the apes.
There is an invention that will recreate the appearance of being a human.
It is called 2 sided tape. Take a small piece and place it behind the top of your ear. Then push the ear back against your head and hold it for 30 seconds to adhere to your head.
Presto ! Dumbo! No More Monkey/Bush look alike!
Don't be too hard on the staff..It's just the new clothes on the Emperor.
Enjoy fitting through the doorways!
Always "looking out for YOU ",
Dan in Vero Beach
